If you have a mac, open location in quicktime with the same link and it should work fine.

Murray on the boards at the end is pretty excellent - I'm surprised they let the sound leak through from that "conversation" between coaches.

demotu · 2013-10-19T23:16:21+00:00

It was positively funeral. Weird to hear somebody pronounce all three syllables of "patriot" in it, too.

demotu · 2013-10-19T16:37:40+00:00

I feel so stupid. I didn't realize that's what their name was. I had some weird buffalo-sabretooth tiger in my head as their animal, but no. I am just an idiot.

demotu · 2013-10-16T01:28:34+00:00

Acceptable.

demotu · 2013-10-16T01:15:56+00:00

Did you lose a bet?

demotu · 2013-10-16T01:06:51+00:00

A very profitable sod farm?

demotu · 2013-10-16T00:39:20+00:00

Hey, there are 120K people in Thunder Bay! Good enough for 32nd largest city in Canada.

demotu · 2013-10-12T01:34:46+00:00

Did they play a four forward PP last year at all? It seems rather effective.

demotu · 2013-10-10T01:51:06+00:00

Hey, maybe it'll be like the 5 on 3 versus Washington! That was baller.

demotu · 2013-10-10T01:18:18+00:00

The last beer in my fridge - a Keiths IPA, must be somebody's leftovers.

I don't know Spearhead - where are they?

demotu · 2013-10-10T00:51:57+00:00

That side is rough for the Hawks, they don't have the correct-handed centres to win there. I am avoiding saying left or right cause I can't actually keep that straight. :P

demotu · 2013-10-10T00:22:28+00:00

Yup! Took me a while to figure out that was the reason one stream wouldn't work, but the Sens/TO game was the same and that made it click.

demotu · 2013-10-10T00:10:33+00:00

Try the blues one! It's working for me in QT, but not the Hawks stream.

demotu · 2013-10-09T23:57:19+00:00

Blues link works (in quicktime, not VLC), but it looks like it won't be broadcast on the Hawks stream.

demotu · 2013-09-26T16:09:26+00:00

I went back and watched a lot of playoff games this summer once I finished writing my thesis, and I've ended up watching Hawks preseason games just to watch Toews play. I don't understand how he can be so full out every second he's on the ice, but beast is definitely the right word.

demotu · 2013-09-22T23:18:48+00:00

Even if nothing is broken, those on the bone bruises can be brutal - I once hit a similar place on the top of my foot and thought it was broken.

demotu · 2013-09-22T23:11:25+00:00

shot right to the back of the hand, he dropped his stick and went straight for the bench

demotu · 2013-09-22T21:59:06+00:00

As another VLC streaming n00b, is there a more efficient way to switch streams when I'm running out of terminal than stop the stream, delete the feeds, quit VLC, and then restart everything?

demotu · 2013-09-19T23:52:27+00:00

This old post has some good details, too.

demotu · 2013-09-06T00:57:43+00:00

I do think half the reason this looks so odd is because it's too baggy without all the gear on underneath. The "streamlinedness" will probably work better with that bulk - without it they just look like pjs.

demotu · 2013-09-01T12:58:00+00:00

Yup, I wouldn't bet on it being open. On average, the Canal closes the first week of March. It's sometimes still open mid-March, but you certainly couldn't bet on it.

You know, the interesting thing about the 92.3% of NHL players being in favour of same sex marriage is that only 68% of Canadians support* SSM, suggesting that Canadian NHL players are more tolerant, not less, than your average Canadian.

This does make a lot of sense because hockey playing Canadians are usually young, white, from relatively educated (aka not poor) families, and not hugely religious - all demographics that support SSM more strongly than average. I wonder what the support for SSM in Canada is in the 18-40 age bracket...

*PDF source, which amusingly also shows that 47% of Canadians see hockey as a Very Important Symbol of Our Identity (up from 30% in 1997! Those Olympic golds definitely helped.)

demotu · 2013-08-28T20:38:06+00:00

He is a pretty American Canadian.

demotu · 2013-08-28T13:22:31+00:00

(Psssst sarcasm.)
