BC's health minister has been doing the best job and the rest of the government seems to actually listen to her.

Ontario is doing pretty good. They almost Forded it up for a bit there but it seems to be going well now.

Alberta tried to gently caress up but when your population density's that low it works out okay.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Maybe older people would know, but I really don't know the difference between Gillies and John Tonelli. Tonelli appears to be the slightly better player on paper.

I confused Gillies with Goring too, who won the Conn Smythe and got some credit as the "missing piece" for the Islanders.

iirc, Goring started this idea that teams needed to make a big free-agent splash to put them over the edge to win the Cup. Like, I am sure Goring did help, because anytime you add a good player how could it not? But, man, those Islanders teams were already stacked. Kind of funny that Bossy nearly had 2 PPG in the playoffs, and Goring was the Smythe winner.

As for Gillies, I think whenever there is a Dynasty, there is a rush to induct as many players as possible because who can argue with Cups? See, also: Lowe, Kevin and Duff, Dick.

And here I was wondering when Elliotte started doing parody. I suppose a multi-purpose arena having a performative name is appropriate, though.

quote:

“The assailants immediately put a sock over my head from behind, taped it around my neck and punched me repeatedly in the ribs and thighs until I fell to the ground,” he wrote. “Once beaten to the ground, my arms were held out to the side by two assailants standing on them and I was taped to a hockey stick behind my head crucifixion-style. I was then dragged across the room by the hockey stick into the shower where the water was turned on scalding hot, a hockey lace was put on my penis and a coat rack was dragged into the shower. The lace was thrown over the rack and the other end was attached to my ankle. I was left in the shower for over an hour until the tape was soft enough to break free, all the while as my leg lowered it pulled my penis to the point of bleeding and tearing of the skin.”

I think the point is winning the cup combined with that is maximum chaos.
