Some lighthearted talk here plus this will make sure that I can read this again sometime as it's a good story, at least for me. If it wasnt for posting all those apartment stories I would forget almos

I debated posting this, because I might be overdoing this topic this week, but I made a sort of personal promise to myself that I am going to promote more positivity and try to never be negative or pu

Danny.... Thats a great attitude to have, and you will be amazed at the progress Owen can make with that kind of attitude and persistence on your part. On Feb 4, 2003, the diagnosis I got was that

Some of you may know that we are going through some historic devastation in California with fires. Nowhere near where I live but a team in our hockey family was hit very hard. Some of the kids on the team lost their homes and even their hockey gear.

 

My website that I co own put together a quick 3 day campaign and we raised $1500 that we presented to the team. The captain was one of the families affected.

 

It’s great to see Hockey families helping each other out and how close the hockey community is.

Question to the Canadian guys..

 

Is the term Oriental considered racist? I seemed to think it wasnt when used in Canada..I could be way off..

 

Here I used the term by accident and my friend said NO NO you cant say that..Asian is the accepted term obviously.

You are asking the wrong person. I couldnt care less what people call me. I use to say oriental too and people said I should say Asian. So I guess Asian is the proper saying.

I've just resorted to calling everyone 'dipstick'. It's equally offensive to everyone. Just happy to do my part for racial unity.

 

My mechanic found that offensive.

 

edit: sorry, I meant Automotive Engineering Professional

I’ve started a business with a friend of mine. Fresno Hockey Talk. We are covering all things hockey in the Fresno Area and surrounding areas. We started small. Slowly we are gaining a following. We make YouTube videos. Write articles. We contacted the Sharks to get a press pass but we are still a bit small for that. But the Barracudas have given us a press pass. We are also working on the Stockton Colts and the Bakersfield Condors

Tell me about it...

 

Blair and Brunt just had me on Sportsnet to talk about my Hip/Leafs story in Dublin! Pretty cool to be able to share it on air!

damn Dave, what time were you on? I was listening from 9-950 my time I guess. I thought Jeff's intro into the show was perfect.

Going to Seattle this weekend for a Mazda event. Going to Huskies/UCLA on Saturday, then Seahawks:Texans on Sunday. Will be my first 2 live football games (not including a couple CFL games). Pretty excited!

please tell me that Mazda people have a secret handshake that involves saying "vroom vroom" to each other.

I'm definitely not your guy for under the radar. We pretty much stuck to Broadway.

 

I recommend the recession special at Robert's western World. Can of PBR and a fried Bologna sandwich for $5. Robert's western world was definitely my favourite bar on Broadway. Really dive-bar-ish, and they play really classic country, which reminds me more of rock and roll than your typical Garth Brooks esque country music. Also the drinks are much more reasonably priced than most of the other bars on Broadway.
