Larscheid confirmed that he's back for another year. He and Shorthouse are on 1040 right now (Pratt + Taylor show). He also explained about the Lions thing. The Lions use to have priority over the Canucks (Larscheid would do Lions games when there was a conflict). However, when Shorthouse became the...

Hey, that playoff year (1986) wasn't so bad...my Habs won the Cup! Ditto :yes: . It would have been interesting to see an MTL vs EDM final in 1986. Patrick Roy was a wall, and Claude Lemieux was not too bad, either. >> May 21 - Calgary vs. Vancouver 1989 Game 7 > Calgary survives an opening round s...

RE: Larscheid and the Lions. This comes up from time to time in these boards, and I can't remember what the conclusion was, but my take is: JP made him choose either the Canucks or the Lions (he use to do both but for schedule conflicts, he would do the Canucks). This was suggested from an article i...

In case anyone is looking for a couple to complete their collection, Zellers has them for $4.99, although they only have odds and ends, and you'll need the patience to look through all their clearance DVDs to find them :).

I remember Lui's last *home* game. I thought it was quite fortunate that the lights went off accidentally (cough cough)

At this point in time, if you're happy with XP or ME Nobody should even be running WinME, much less be happy with it. There's a major bug in Vista, where it takes forever to copy files (Hmm, can't find the article where I read it). Be sure to us vLite to create your own custom Vista install CD. It ...

the stupid hippies want the Olympic money spent on social programs,

Instead of protesting or doing whatever, they should get good jobs and donate their earnings to social programs, etc.

I bought that 2004 DVD in the hopes that if sales were good they would continue to make them. Did they cut anything on the DVD, such as all the extra commentary that goes on in between plays/quarters and half-time? I think with the hockey games, CBC does that. If that's the case, I would be happier...

So I went out and bought not a 32 inch, but a 36 inch tv so that now my height is 23inches. Much better. Except, when they put wide screen on, it goes back down to 17inch. That's your own fault for not seeing the change in weather. It was never a secret that widescreen was the direction that things...

Carl Kidd and the uppercut against Winnipeg pretty much sums him up. Wish he was staying, but I guess that's sports. Better for him to go to another team than to get Guy Lafleured.
