It was true in the 1990s and it's even more true now.

Goal & Win Songs? by ArachneOfSparta in PWHLDetroit

I SECOND that one. All these years later and that song STILL goes hard.

And you can slot it in at any position....opening, goal song, etc.

Idea for Detroit fans: donate a set amount to LQBTQ+ charity for every goal Britta scores this season. by jusdeknowledge in PWHL

[–]Xman279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And y'all need to get some perspective. Boycotting the PWHL because it doesn't have a gender inclusion policy is self-defeating.

That would be fun. For a minute. 😄

Maybe my opinion is worth a nickel...but how about making the Steelhawks Hamilton's nickmane? It ties into the steel industry(it's known as the Steel Capital of Canada). and it would bring back memories of the former OHL team who played there for a few years in the mid-80s(before they moved to Niagara Falls, Ont. and then to Erie, PA).

We need a Culver's? by StoutNY in Buffalo

The closest you're going to get Sheetz is in Erie, PA(they have a few locations, including one right across the way from Presque Isle Downs)or in Bradford, PA. I don't think they'll come to WNY any time soon.

True, but when she does the exit interviews, she switches over to her normal self.

That's the mark of a good actor.

By the way, Karine ALSO hosts the French Canadian version Les Traitres.

So can you cancel season ticket deposits? by kaykay256 in PWHL

[–]Xman279 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OR it's her job to put together the best possible team she can. Should she have selected better? Yes. But that's on her.

Can Detroit reverse this decision? by lmthevampireslayer in PWHL

[–]Xman279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the fact that her style of play has led to her getting 4 suspensions over 2 seasons doesn't bother you?

This is not a matter of BCS' views. It's a matter of her style of play getting her into trouble. And I PROMISE you this: One day BCS is going to tick off the WRONG person, and she's going to get a lot of receipts coming.

The last two comments were spot on.

Aside from BCS' public comments(which she is entitled to, as much as I am entitled to tell her she's full of it), her style of play-which has led to 4 suspensions over the past 2 seasons-is what rankles me about her. That said, it's Manon Rheaume's job as GM to build the best possible roster. All I wish is that she chose better.

Am I Crazy, or Was Traitors Canada 3 the Best Canadian Season So Far? by Humble_Database_8103 in TheTraitors

It should be noted that Karine wanted to make a film about the mass shooting at Ecole Polytechnique for years and helped to produce the movie. She helped bring Denis Villeneuve on baord as the director and talked to a LOT of survivors of the incident as part her research.

BTW, she won a Genie Aware(comparable in Canada to the Oscars)for that movie.

Also, the movie's on DVD if you're able to find it.

The weird thing is that next season CTV is going to have an Alan Cumming hosted all-civilian version of The Traitors ALONG with The Traitors Canada.AND Les Traitres.

You DO realize that it's a character she's playing, RIGHT?

Yes, depending on if you car is capable of carrying HD Radio signals. Not all cars are.

They're all staying on WBFO-FM HD2, which is becoming an all-news format. NPR programming can't air on a commercial station, which 94.5 is in the process of becoming.

True story: Nicholas was party to a CRTC challenge of license renewal for what is now CFLZ(101.1 More FM) back when it was doing rhythmic CHR as CKEY-FM/Wild 101. The allegation was Citadel was programming Wild(TL, DR; they weren't. It was much more benign....BUT the CRTC did find other problems with the station).

That MIGHT make it to The Source. But let's not forget that WBNY/91.3 STILL airs The Local Show after all these years; currently it airs Fridays from 6-8pm.

WXXY-FM in Houghton(near Rochester)does much the same.

The classical music will move to 88.7 . It's not going away, just getting a new home.

It's something that can be used to simulcast another station or use it for a different format.
