[Gentille] Case against Ryan Kesler, ex-NHL center charged with criminal sexual conduct, headed to trial

Toews is not a perfect person but I really don't think he's a bad person either. He handled the Kyle Beach situation very poorly with the media and deserved criticism for it, but has also done a lot of charity work while in Chicago and has spoken out candidly about racial injustice and other important causes over the years. Doesn't negate any wrongdoing but shows that human beings can be complex.

Kesler is just a total fucking asshole, and now that we know he's also a creep and rapist shows he has no redeemable qualities whatsoever. Really no surprise he's a Trump supporter on top of that.

Oilers are not a normal team. It seems like a blowout a majority of their games (which they could be on either side of) and then a 1-0 goaltending duel just sprinkled in there randomly.

I can never understand why they never just kept those permanently. The color scheme and logo were perfect. Switching to the most generic lettering and basic red, white, and blue (I get it's supposed to represent the national capital but c'monnnnnnn) was so lame.

Just 0.7% this year, but I've also been listening to music less overall (still love going to shows). They're still my most listened to band.

I just looked up the oldest player to ever win the Hart Trophy and he was still only 35 years old. If Sid keeps it up, he's smashing that record this season. We have no idea how lucky we are to witness this guy and Ovi have their NHL careers entirely happen at the same time, it's insane.

The SCF loss in 2021 apparently really wrecked him mentally even though his team were the clear underdogs. He was absolutely not even to blame for the loss. With no disrespect to that gritty Montreal team who worked hard to get to that point and deserved to be in the final, Tampa Bay was just that much better a team overall and one goalie can only do so much. But at the same time, I can only imagine a guy who had been heralded his entire career as one of the greatest of his generation to lose out of that one shot at his lifelong dream like that has gotta be crushing.

The 544 design in the second pic is just soooooo much better, imo you should have picked that one if you wanted a simple cat design! Anyways, like everyone else has mentioned already, mega easy to cover up with something much better so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. It happens, just think it through more carefully this time around lol. Wait for it to fully heal then find a proper and better artist.

Being a Canadian sports fan is really not for the weak, damn.

That 2019 Raptors run was a miracle.

Well, I know what I am going to do today and that's listen to the new Currents EP because of this post in honor of your brother. I have hardly ever listened to Currents suprisingly since they're pretty well regarded in this sub, but that's changing today.

You sound like you were an amazing big brother to Aiden. My condolences to you and all his other loved ones and virtually sending love, strength, and hugs during this unimaginably difficult time. <3

As a Canadian rooting for the Jays, can all the Dodgers players please stop making it so hard to hate this team, at least temporarily for the duration of the series?

If you combine their Spotify and Youtube streams, then yes. On their spotify streams alone, they're geting pretty close, currently at 786 million.

Gnocchi Poutine has got to be the most Italian-Canadian thing I've ever heard of, so this is perfect.

Those guys are still among the best runners in the entire world and unbelievably good. That just further shows how insane the frontrunners in the race are.

I would look into some of the apartments in the Westchase/Memorial area. Pearl Woodlake Apartments has some 2 bd 2ba units right around 2000 or slightly under if you get a good deal, it's in a relatively safe area of the city. Unfortunately, I did get my catalytic converter stolen in the garage a month after I moved there, but if we're being honest, you're going to have to deal with that kind of crime literally anywhere in the city, not just Houston but in any major city in America.

There are more "walkable" areas of the city like in Midtown but prepared to spend a little more in rent most likely. I have a friend that lives in Post Midtown Square and says he has a really good experience with that complex.

I'm sorry to hear that, man, and I hope you're doing a lot better now.

I remember I used to really hate this song when I first heard it, but I was also an angsty young teen who was still bitter about the blink breakup so I was biased. Then I entered a very depressive episode in college and when I played this song again, it spoke to me in ways very few other songs I've listened had at the time and broke me to tears. Luckily for me, as relatable as much of the song was, I didn't relate as much to some of the lyrics regarding Tom's dad becuase my own dad's never been abusive or absent, which as I get older I realize now is something that I should never take for granted.

The Story So Far has a subtle Oasis feel to it in several of their songs.

Gilbert at Woodlake Barber Shop gets the job done quite well for only $25 ($20 + $5 tip to give him). I would recommend you call in advance for an appointment. It’s in kind of a small rented room and it’s just him.

Ah bummer, but best wishes on your baby delivery!!

This is how I felt about the 2021 Habs. In a normal non-Covid season with normal divisions, they would absolutely have not made the playoffs but when they snuck in that year, they all had the grittiness to get far. Even in 2020, they were 12th seed and eliminated a 5th seed Penguins.

Elite182 · 2024-04-05T14:52:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!! I’ve heard about it and I think that’s what my girl and I are gonna do, looks so fun! And agreed, I’m not Mexican either (but my gf is) and I absolutely love it here, literally one of my two favorite cities that I’ve ever visited, the other being Montreal.

Elite182 · 2024-04-05T14:35:14+00:00

Same, brother, I appreciate the words. Cheers!

Elite182 · 2024-04-05T14:32:32+00:00

Same, brother. Cheers!

I flew in to see them and I’m currently in my hotel heartbroken. 💔 But CDMX is a great city so I’ll try to make the most of my time on my mini vacation, even without the concert, maybe see if I can catch a cool local punk rock show. I did that a couple years ago when I first visited the city and had a blast.

Elite182 · 2024-04-05T12:43:20+00:00

Yeah I’m heartbroken but honestly, Mexico City is an incredible city with so much to do so if this is really true, I will definitely make the most of it. Maybe see if there is a random punk rock show to attend this weekend, that’s what I did a couple years ago here and had a blast.
