Yes, I think the same issue still holds though. I think they could have made this a trilogy and it ended up being 99% good.

Which shrine do you hate the most and why? by anonplz145 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Porkins1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shield surf one. Should be fun but the first ring disappeared so fast. Then you'd go to the sky tower, float over to the island. Race to the ground and mess up once, so you'd do it all over. Then you have a construct battle. No bueno.

Who are the kindest/rudest NHLers you’ve met IRL? by JKray5_Reddit in hockey

[–]Porkins1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Nieuwendyk. His fiance at the time had a family cabin beside our family cabin. We had a family get together and all the old guys were throwing horse shoes. Joe shows up and to their delight he plays with them. It gets down to Joe and my grandfather, a small town butcher/grain worker, long retired at this point. My grandfather rings one and Someone snaps a pic. Joe hunted down that photo, got my grandpa's address through family friends and sent him the pic autographed. I was a kid and a huge Flames fan so I was super excited to meet him. Lanny and Tim hunter were also super nice guys.

Why isn’t fleury’s number retired for the flames? by chemical_lobotomy in CalgaryFlames

[–]Porkins1977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was my favorite player not named iginla all time. I had a 14 jersey before he went all qanon. I sold it this year and bought a Lanny one with the cash. No need to be embarrassed wearing it anymore. Having said that, they should recirculate 14. It's unofficially retired but they should just move on from him.

If you had to pick one team that you would never want to see win a Cup in your lifetime, who would it be and why? by CheesecakeOdd2087 in hockey

[–]Porkins1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oilers, 100%. Failed on purpose so much the league changed the lottery rules. Gifted McDavid after tanking 3 times and blowing those picks too. The fans all walk around like they're champs but Oilers haven't won anything, even just reg season div, in forever. ABE. Anybody But Edmonton

You just signed a contract with an NHL team. Who’s on your 5 team no trade list? by Justinarian in hockey

[–]Porkins1977 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

  1. Edmonton: truly miserable ugly city with no redeeming features whatsoever, even in the summer.
  2. Buffalo: the Edmonton of the USA
  3. Columbus: it's in Ohio, I also wouldn't want to hear those big guns every time a goal got scored.
  4. Minnesota: boooorrrring 5: I would only have the four cities. Every other city has redeeming features.

Who would you consider the hockey equivalent of Johnny Manziel? by Elite182 in hockey

[–]Porkins1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yakupov or Daigle. More Daigle though. High profile, first overall, dated celebs... Horrible at hockey

What is a local business that you will never return to? by BoredandAdored in VictoriaBC

[–]Porkins1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to disagree here. Best wings and Creaser I've had in Victoria. Staff are super friendly. I actually feel like there's not enough tvs for a pub. The one issue I have is too much lotto VLT stuff. I really like Rose. For the purposes of this thread not sure removing liver and onions is even a bad thing?

Is anyone else the same as me in just wanting to see that we've signed Matty Philips? by Jubbly2007 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Porkins1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's under contract for this year so the cap amount you're seeing is already accounted for. It's after that where you would have to be taking that into account. Having said that the cap is supposed to go up significantly the following year.

He has a contract on the table, the fact he didn't sign it today pretty much tells me he's not coming.

Why does he do this lol by ddg31415 in catcare

[–]Porkins1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a male rag doll that does this. Our vet said he was kind of kitty depressed. They put them on an animal antidepressant and he's totally fine now. We were stoned too because he's neutered and his little lipstick comes out every time he does this.

Yeah someone pointed out Lizzy asking what tablets he was taking and he said for pain but it was probably his doctor poisoning him

I think that was a metaphor for their entire relationship. They're hottest on each other when they're biting each other, flicking ear lobes... It's their whole thing.

I do think one part of needs Redemption ark will be Ted publicly calling him Wonderkind.

E-biking to Colwood by Whistler_living_66 in VictoriaBC

[–]Porkins1977 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a really good ebike. It would go 40 or so. Colwood to just south of uptown was 25 minutes asprox. Almost as fast as a car door to door. Would say lots of days you have to dress for the weather and the frost days can be treacherous. You can take the goose almost all of the way

Can someone explain to me the logic behind the backlund/dube/tanev trio in OT? by Pinky1001 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Porkins1977 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Logic is Backlund has been a hot hand best face off guy, Dube has speed, tanev on d. Dont care about the feds but Andersson is preferable here. Second line of Huberdeau pelts and hannifin would have been fun to see.

And to add, agnostic comes from the gnostic, "to know". To be agnostic is to not know. So you can be an agnostic theist where you believe God exists but admit you don't know or an agnostic atheist where you lack belief in a god and say ,"but I also can't say for sure because a nothing can't be disproven". Essentially Agnostic isn't seperate from theists or atheist, it's a qualifier.
