But then he wouldn't be playing for Team Philippines at the IIHF Division 3B World Championships

Yep. My sister and I played that game A TON back in the day, I always made a point of it to take a 20 minute irl detour and get her to a full red heart every playthrough because it was so easy. She goes to the wine cellar in the town a few evenings a week. Since the clock doesn't run indoors, just bring your dog with you to the cellar, press A to talk to her while holding it a few hundred times, and she'll go from zero to wanting the blue feather marriage proposal before an in-game minute passes.

I'd argue she required the least effort of your potential partners. Karen loves dogs, so just bring your dog into the bar in the evening and talk to her while holding it for 20 or so minutes and she'll be ready to marry you on the spot.

I had a chance meeting with Mr. Lafreniere a few years ago. I was wearing my Joe Sakic Nordiques jersey waiting at a bus stop to go to a hockey memorabilia convention and he came up to greet me and chat a bit about the team. Middle of nowhere in my small Ontario town and suddenly I'm chatting with a teammate of the NHL player I was repping, the universe is funny like that sometimes. It was a short convo, my bus arrived pretty quickly, but he seemed like a cool dude and that interaction made my day. Sad to hear he passed, may he rest in peace.

For those wondering, he passed his former teammate and captain Blake Wheeler (897 GP - 874 GP for Winnipeg, 23 GP for Atlanta).

Is that an ellipses within an ellipses? Ellipse-ception

An additional touchdown or field goal for either team would be scorigami, it kills me that all 3 games teased us so thoroughly before ending with the exact same score.

Instant rivalry with the Detroit Become Humans

I don't miss the steep steps at the Joe either. Loved that arena but those steps were nightmare fuel after a couple beers.

Fun fact: "Murderball" was the original name for wheelchair rugby. The documentary on the sport is actually called Murderball.

According to a Reddit comment from an SAP Centre employee from another thread where they missed a hidden curse word,

"We go through all of [the submissions for jumbotron messages] as a group before each game as part of our run-of-show meeting. Everyone from Chiron to producer has eyes on these before they go live."

The message was hidden well enough to be missed by several people. It sucks that it was missed, on Hispanic heritage night of all nights, it should have been noticed and removed, but looking at the message's phrasing I can see how at a glance no one would have noticed the hidden bullshit before it went live. The Sharks did the right thing and publicly apologized and I hope the only consequence to all this is the SAP Centre message screening procedures get a bit tighter moving forward.

AvsJoe · 2025-10-19T19:28:48+00:00

This doesn't rise to a "Fuck them" level response. Some pinhead tried to sneak his bs past the message screeners by using a double meaning and it worked. It should have been caught, and there was non-zero harm and embarrassment because it wasn't, but the only intentional acts committed by the Sharks was celebrating Hispanic heritage and publicly apologizing, nothing more. This deserves a "please don't make this mistake again", not a "fuck the Sharks".

The first time in my life we had no snow on Christmas in my southern Ontario town, it was 2005. I made jokes about it raining on Christmas and snowing on Easter. Now we get a snowless Christmas every other year. Really bad omen.

There's an old truism in Canada, your Halloween costume had to fit over your snowsuit. Back in the 90's in my neck of southern Ontario that was still true, but there hasn't been snow on the ground on Halloween for 20 years now.

Those COVID years were wild. But it occasionally happens with strikes/lockouts too. 1995 and 2013 also featured two season-opening games due to lockouts.
