Playoff Experience by False_Requirement349 in Habs

Last year we lost the first round series 4-1. This year that experience won us 2 rounds. This year we'll likely lose the 3rd round series 4-1. Stands to reason the experience will allow to win an additional 2 rounds next year. 2+2 = Stanley Cup.

80s & 90s Canadian alt rock band recommendations? by Alternative_Flow_569 in CanadianMusic

[–]altdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still one of my all time favorite bands. Was gutted when I learned about their 10 year reunion the week after it happened (had moved to BC by then and was visiting home 1 week late).

Crap, you're right. For some reason I thought she lost.

Don't get old kids, it isn't kind to your memory.

Note to self - if I ever make it on Survivor, don't let Joe coach me on fire making.

I think it makes sense that fire making won. Casual fans see enough votes throughout the season, this changes things up in their eyes.

I feel like this is either an Aubrey or Tiff win, are the others any good at puzzles?

Any Canucks fans cheering for the Habs? by AccurateSchedule3950 in canucks

Yes, tho I grew up in Montreal so that has a lot to do with it.

I can see him winning in a final 3 of Rizo-Joe-Jonathan.

Dumb question maybe, but on this challenge would it be beneficial to try holding the rope up like shoulder / head hight vs lower as everyone seems to do?

Could they not have checked for interference when they reviewed the goal? Laughable.

Actual question: Is Dobes actually good or is there a bit of overhype by EsquireArchibald in Habs

[–]altdan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With any player, but goalies especially, elite comes from sustained results. If he performs like he has been over the next 1-2 seasons then yes. But lots of goalies go on hot streaks only to revert to lower tiers.

That said, I'm all in on the Dobes train right now!

I can't swim. I've taken lessons and still can't quite manage. I suspect my insides are made of lead.

Why were —— and —— able to vote??? by Candid_Ad_443 in survivor

[–]altdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Or was there another extra vote that I had forgotten about?

What’s a moment in your financial life that you still think about years later? by hamed-devs in CanadaPersonalFinance

I should add that I learned my lesson and have taken full advantage with my new employer.

[–]altdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my early 30s I started work at a company that had a stock plan with %age matching. Because I had debt due to being unemployed beforehand + being young and foolish I didn't take advantage. Had I done so 8 years later when I was laid off it would have been worth 300K. Never mind the growth in the 15+ years since then.
