Canadian Poker Players

We have about 18 inches of the white stuff here in Edmonton. My 30th birthday coming in a few weeks!

Well snow indeed!!! We just got our first cold spell 2 days ago. Still no snow. The weather has become unpredictable, should have at least a foot of snow by now.
I really really wish it was my 30th birthday again, enjoy it, its not that bad.

Gord - if you're turning 30 now, does that mean you were born before or after the end of WWII? Are you a baby boomer?

Just a question.

LMAO!!! Borat, errr... Bariac is on a roll tonight!!

cold and snowing lightly right now , will have to start the car tomorrow for my wife as she starts at 6am and she can get into a warm car( gotta score those brownie points somehow)....lol

Lol, for some red eye reason I thought briefly you were admitting to being 17 years old by quoting your twin being 17 tomorrow.
Now that I have landed back to earth all I can say is, happy birthday to the twins and good luck in your new job.

ROFL!! Thanks Zin, don't you have alot of work ahead of you? lol Song for us ladiesss.

Any true artist is too macho to just write songs that any kind of ladieeeees swoon to, it must be perfection itself and will take time.
Rome wasn't built in a day but I estimate two days for sure.

Bravo!! I hope your not falling into the trap of thinking that this is going to be an easy task for you, Jessiebear, Dakota and I, good luck to you in your endeavours. And by the way I think u said last thread 24hrs now its 48hrs LMfAO

Worry none, it will be done.

That was rap by the way.

Going away for a couple of months, well not really just so bogged down at the moment. Probably won't get back until the end of January so good luck to all in the mean time

Well whatever your doing i'm sure it will be productive, Have yourself and your family a Very Merry Happy Xmas, Be safe and we'll be looking forward to hearing from you upon your return. If you can pop your head in and say hi.

I agree with you. Me also I would like to play with Canadian. Good day!

Why not!!! Could that perhaps be done one day? mimi48

Here on edmonton the weather is starting to warm up, tomorrow is supposed to be 6+ from what i hear

I predict it will go back way below zero and the roads will be chaos

Update on who's naked ass will be running down the road next spring:

Leafs currently 1 point up on the Oilers but the Oil have 2 games in hand.

HEY!! Another Edmontonian! Good stuff PopDog60. LoDog and myself are from Edmonton as well.

Everything is going wrong.... Last night we had a good first period.. the second period brought some unbelievably stupid penalty calls by the vs gill... I couldnt believe it... They didn't score on us but I think it killed our momentum... After that it was just sad, leafs had no umph in them... Really pisses me off to see our team seem to be playing so well (Minus last night) Yet still failing....

Can't really put my finger on it either, I believe a big part is the defense.. But it should be solid, Kaberle and McCabe have been playing decently.. McCabe playing a lot better defensive wise then he was at the start of the year.. White is still a rookie, I love his offensive abilities, and seems sound on defense MOST of the time... Gill is amazing on the PK, getting in shooting lanes... and blocking pucks but lately has had a few mess ups.. Peca has done 10x more then could be expected of him... and kilger has been playing great on the PK as well..

Goaltending ? Perhaps, Raycroft has a weak glove hand if you ask me... With his pads he is pheonominal... But once again, after that injury It seems he has let in a few softies.. (The second one vs montreal I believe...) Personally I think we should give Raycroft a rest for a game or two and let Aubin work his magic for a bit...

Offensive ? Hmmm, Our offense has been lacking lately.. Our wingers need to get the pucks out when our defense slaps it around our boards in our defensive end... Other then that I believe our offense is great, averaging over 30 shots... Great depth from our goals, tucker,wellwood,sundin, all these guys are contributing... Steen needs to get going to as good as he was last year but that's only a minor concern to me.

In Conclusion, I have no idea wtf is wrong with us atm.. I believe its just a funk and the players just need some confidence back... I believe we have the makings of a stanly cup team, just as long as the players start playing their best.

Wow!! I'm glad you got that off your chest xife, and thank you for the update b/c I have not been following hockey at all lately. Welcome to the new faces in this thread, and don't be shy. Still no snow here, but gettin friggen cold.

Hahahaha, sorry I tend to ramble a lot about hockey... thats a GAURENTEED way to throw me off my poker game, chat to me about hockey.. I really should join a hockey forum...

Btw, if someone else know's what's wrong with the leafs share your input

Hi to all. Back for a few days hope I have some time to play or chat with all you nice folks.

Bodog won't let us Cannucks play! anyone else have that problem?

I have heard that^^^^ through the grapevine but haven't tried yet myself. If I hear more I'll let you know.
Sorry I have been gone so long, I hope everyone had a great xmas, and best wishes for a prosperous New Year.


Go Leafs Go!!!

I'm kinda new around here but when I saw a thread all about us canadians I figured I should jump in

I live in Waterloo but am currently visiting my home in Newfoundland for Christmas haven't been back here for 4 years now and just being back for a few days reminds me of how much I love it here.

Incidentally Iwould like to point out that the best Canadian team by far this year is Montreal They are currently 10 points or more ahead of every other canadian team and yet CBC still is showing nothing but leaf games on Saturday night

Well, glad to see there are so many other canadians in here....

Go Habs Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Welcome Shoestrigx, so we have another hockey fan eh! I'm from the East Coast as well New Brunswick, so I know where your coming from when your talking about how beautiful and peaceful it is there. When your close to cities and lots of people I tend to me more of a hustler and bustler with no relaxation time and stress level is up more. When I go home its a totally different world, enjoy while you can.
I always followed the habs back, back, back in the day when it was just Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver for Canada. Great team!! But sorry my heart is with the leafs and i'm a long time fan, who is praying to see them win the Stanley Cup sometime before I die lol.

Well, I'm finally getting a snow day, it's about time. It looks beautiful from inside the house, but i'm not going out in it.

Is there any team or group for Canadians I can join?

Welcome and happy new year to all

Well we know the story with me and comp problems so I missed it, I made a note too. HAPPY BELATED 30TH BIRTHDAY GORD. 2 days before xmas eh, lol but a Saturday. I hope it was great and may you have many many more to come.

Thank you!!!

Cannucks acutual won a game can you believe it?

That won't be the case tonight. You heard it here first - Oilers will win 4-2

YYESSSS GO CANADAA GOOOOOO

Was going to start a new thread about the world jr's but.. Thought our other american users might get mad at my spammage.


3-0 AGAINST THE RUSSIANS ! Bwahahaha... Man what a great game.. Holy crap the staal's sure can breed them eh ? Anyone watching the game besides me ? Or you all stuck at work ?

Man, two periods to go and it's already 3-0, I just hope that we keep playing physical, something I think was lacking in the ends of the first period....

GOING FOR TEAM CANADA'S 18TH STRAIGHT WIN.

Watching at work on broadband, 4-1 at second intermission. GO CANADA!!!

4-2 10 minutes left.. What a dive by the russian infront of the net to get a penalty and eventually get the goal.... Can't believe that


I hope Canada can play great in the Neutral zone like they have in the past, and just keep the puck in the russian zone for the remaining 10 minutes.

Oh and not lose their cool like I am

EDIT -> CANADA WINS!!! CANADA WINS!!
