  1. Anybody here go to the Thunder/Pistons game last night? I'm kinda surprised Schroder didn't get a tec for going straight to Daigneault at the end of the game. Got a bit chippy. I'm assuming he was pissed over the Thunder having their power five out there in the final minute. Funny seeing Schroder and SGA arguing while dribbling out the clock.
  2. TNT on fire tonight all over Westbrook. LOL. Feel bad for the guy.
  3. Exhibition game rematch of the '87 Finals. Gretzky, Kurri, Messier and crew. Got to miss school to go to the game. Great memory. Seeing an NHL game in Dallas was quite the event at that time.
  4. Just read Mark LaForest died today. For some reason, I still remember him playing between the pipes for the Flyers on September 30, 1987 against the Edmonton Oilers when they played in Dallas at Reunion Arena. Daryl Reaugh played goal for the Oilers. Flyers won 5-3 and Nick Fotiu actually played in that game. No idea why I remember that. Anyone else go to that game?
  5. I agree with this. I lived in a few decent condos around On Nut and I'm not sure I'd trust the construction standards. Every site around town had workers bussed in from Cambodia, Laos and Isan with most likely questionable skills. I can't see ever investing in a condo in Thailand.
  6. Yeah, my facebook started going bananas around 2am with friends in SE Asia reporting the news. Was up all night. Crazy. Bangkok......what's the word on BTS/MRT service? Back to the good old days of tuk-tuk and taxis around town. One thing I haven't heard anything on.....I spent quite a bit of time around Mandalay in 2006. If the epicenter was around that area, think of all the destruction to World Heritage Sites. Places like Amarapura, Bagan and all of those temples will sustain massive damage. Tough getting any news out of Burma but the stories must be tragic so far. They didn't have electricity half of the time in '06 so there were plenty of generators around town.
  7. Which game? I'm going to the Chunichi game on the 23rd and then down in Yokohama on the 24th. I love Japanese baseball. You'll have a blast.
  8. Why are the Stars/Ducks tickets so expensive tomorrow night? What am I missing? A Tuesday night game against a crappy team. Tickets for Tampa on Thursday are cheaper. Better game. Is it nickel beer night or something?
  9. Cripes.....fighting has gotten so pathetic in the NHL now, it's almost embarrassing. Wrestling and face scrubs. It's like the Japanese League out there. We need more George MacPhee-Nevin Markwart fights. Old time hockey. Having said that, watching Josh Manson tune up Jamie Benn a few years ago was enjoyable.
  10. I go to a lot of Thunder games and Holmgren is the one player that consistently drives me crazy. He looked sick last night. (as in 'ill')
  11. The Black Hawks of Dallas had some beauty pucks. Good times.
  12. Nice puck. Feel free to join the Dallas Blackhawks page on facebook. Several alumni on there. Good stuff. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1669877886482359
  13. And you don't understand why Canadians are a little bitter? Seriously? They've seen Stanley Cups go to goofy markets like Anaheim, Vegas, Dallas, Tampa, Raleigh, Miami.......markets where they didn't follow the sport a generation ago. I remember Dallas in the 1980's when they were playing youth hockey at Prestonwood shopping mall. Hockey was a novelty to Texans in the 70's and 80's. I remember going to a Flyers/Oilers game at Reunion on September 30, 1987......the greatest team ever assembled with Gretzky, Messier, Fuhr, Kurri, Anderson, etc - and they were having to explain the rules of the game to the folks that showed up. I get the bitterness. I'll be rooting a little for the Jets.
  14. Guy......how can you not root for Winnipeg? Great hockey market and fanbase. That town deserves a Cup. Folks in Las Vegas didn't know what a puck was until a few years ago.
  15. Is he smart enough to know you don't make a pass in front of your own net with 18 seconds to go? Cripes....that Bruins game last night.
