Ah, OK - thanks for checking. It must be just me then. I'll see if I can dig through the bowels of the phone settings this weekend.

Not sure if it is just me/my phone (which is pretty new ) but I haven't been able to get the menu in the top-right corner to come up for the past few days. From memory, it was the icon with a few horizontal lines, and had the 'log in" option in there. I can see it, but I can't tap it to come up with the list of options. Cheers!

1. It is also heresy 2. I'd love to be a bro for you on this, but I'm raising two kids, in a house way bigger than we'd need if ti was just my wife and I. And they are both playing hockey. And they eat, like, every damned day, the little freeloaders. So while "12 years ago me" is right there with you on the saving for a wedding thing, present-day me is like "Awww! Isn't that just precious...?" Not sure what you'll decide, but both sets look sweet; no bad choice there!

Wait a minute here... holder of the coveted DINK status is on two teams, with two different colour schemes (yes, that's with a "u" as I am addressing my fellow Canadian) and a brand/model he likes, with beautiful mocks ups for both schemes, is asking what to do...?!?! You buy BOTH sets. I mean, like WTF dude - are you new or something? Have you not been paying attention this whole time? Make it RAIN MONEY in that THS! LOL!

That last pic - is that dude wearing a Labatt 50 jersey?

Wow! A beauty set up that all matches, AND matches with your team's uniform! You're the envy of many a beer-leaguer! Very nice pics. How did you fare in the tournament...? I noticed the black post guards are still in place in these pics; do they always leave those on for you? I'd love it if they did that for me, but the skate sharpeners' lobby is way too powerful here... lol!

Never had one myself; were those offered as standard features, or only available with the Eddie Bauer upgrade?

Ahem! Sorry, but a significant number of us are Province side, eh! LOL!

Maybe this is a garden variety PEBCAK, but I'm not seeing anyone in the "WHO'S ONLINE" field at the bottom of the screen anymore (maybe from early this week?). Doesn't affect functionality, but sometimes nice to see who is logged in.

I never really followed him, but my impression with his "the Price was right for the Devils" post back in November gave me the distinct impression that he was yet another petulant upstart with a data plan, and not much more. Charges of "old grumpism" leveled at me shall be gracefully received and carefully considered while I watch my VHS cassettes of classic Adams Division showdowns.

I see you're in Ottawa too - was this at the Orlean's PIAS, or the one on Bank...? Just curious. $20... you should maybe have bought them for display or something - LOL!

Love the idea of putting your kids' names on there! I let my kids pick stickers to put on my backplate. I ended up with a pink unicorn...

Nice one! The only time I was in a 0-0 tie, it was rudely interrupted by the opening face off - LOL!

Another first for me came in my game last Friday: First time getting hit right in the belly! Apparently, I have never actually been square to the shooter before. It was weird... and wasn't repeated.

Yes, well - the "Fuck You " still stands. LMAO! So now that you have stocked - then subsequently emptied - this fridge a few times, what has come out as your favourite(s)? Are you keeping track of all of this epic beerage on Untappd or something?

...and since I’m here anyway, and (brace yourself) drinking a beer, might as well post it: Sunsplit IPA from Dominion City Brewing Company.

The last one - CBS - is indeed within your reach! I saw it at the LCBO a few weeks ago. Given the reputation it enjoys amongst connoisseurs and trusted beer aficionados, I bought it. Haven’t cracked it yet, but supposedly it is mind-bendingly phenomenal!

So yeah, I gave you a like. But I’d also like to say a big Fuck you. Those should all be at my house!

Oh, nice catch - now that you mention it, I think I can just make out the birdcage!

Damn... that shit's for real! Must have looked even worse 2-3 days out. Same deal as Naz - I'll give you a reaction; just pick your poison.

Damn! That's real purdy! You must be thrilled! Who is on the chin? Hard to tell from the side-on shots.

I don’t even know what reaction to put, dude. Like? That’s twisted. Laugh? Kinda mean. Sad? Well, you don’t get points for that one You’re like the Super Dave (RIP) of TGN. Respect! Last time I asked, I think you opted for a “thanks” trophy reaction. Just let me know, and it’s yours.

Yes, I’m always glad that I was able to save my family from Kweebec, and give them a better life by moving to Canada. His attitude is astounding. I would have quit goalie for good if it was me in his spot - probably while crying! Lol!

Reviving this thread, after I got dinged above my knee pad by a defected slap shot. Not exactly pic-worthy, but later that same day, my son got a bad one on the same knee in his tournament. He is seven. Didn’t even complain- fucking trooper, this kid! The next game, they got blown out by a bullshit stacked team from Laval 14-0. You know the type - where the little shits are doing obnoxious cellys after goals 8,9,10, and the fans are still blowing the horns after every goal. I’m practically vomiting in my mouth, trying not to cry, watching this massacre. He looks over at me at the end of the game, gives me a thumbs up, and a huge grin! In the room after, he shrugs it off, says he had a lot of saves and had a great time because he got a lot of shots that hit all his different pieces of equipment. At least one thing is clear: Kid’s a better, stronger man than his dad - not that I needed more proof. Not pictured: his ego. Besides the metaphysical impossibility of photographing an ego, his was remarkably UN-bruised.

LOL! It has been made abundantly clear to me that I (and even Morrissey) will be unable to disabuse you of that notion.
