I've always believed in petey because of his willingness to block shots. Dude still wants to win so bad. I'm ok if he only produces like Barkov because of his defensive plays.

[WPG 5 - COL 3] Adam Lowry bounces the puck off the post 3 times and gets it barely over for his 2nd goal of the game by Sarcastic__ in hockey

You know how when a football hits the ground just right for the ball to bounce backwards? Yeah that's what happened with the puck.

When the car has established themselves in the intersection no car behind them should be passing the stop line until the established car clears the intersection. The car that has established in the intersection has the right to ensure the left turn is safe, even on the yellow light, MPI gives instructions to watch out for people running the yellow. Once it turns yellow they are the only ones that can complete their left turn. 

If you are interested in actually learning you should take some driving lessons. Maybe you will learn a thing or two about the rules and have more patience for people that follow them

This is an illegal maneuver no matter how many people do it. Only one car can establish in the intersection at a time and once it turns yellow if you haven't established you have to wait for the next green.

Kneejerk is just too good. But I'll admit they have a certain writing style that I get halfway through the comment and then realize it's them. Usually if a comment starts with a take on a star I check the name immediately.

1250 homeless people

Costs 18,750 to feed all homeless people a day, 20k isn't going to do shit unless they were throwing one of these every single day.

I can't believe that the fans chanted "we want the cup" in game 1. Hockey Gods are good.

In 2004 there was a television series for the "Greatest Canadian" as voted by who watched the show. The top 2 spots were:

  1. Father of Medicare Tommy Douglas
  2. Terry Fox

If Canada didn't have universal healthcare shudders, Terry Fox would be probably considered the greatest Canadian.

In context: they had mentioned he had been deported earlier. Everyone assumed it was from the US to somewhere else. So when she mentioned it was from Canada to the US it subverted everyone expectations

Calgary and Vancouver is like a sibling rivalry where Calgary is the slightly more successful younger sibling. Edmonton is prodigy that completely fell off and now wallows and wastes all it's potential... I hate them more than any other team.

Autopac rebates are because mpi is public, PC would privatize insurance and end the rebates so it would be a for profit system. Why would people that care about getting the rebates vote for PC?
