Marchand again good Sunday nights, eh? Ever wonder why three Nova Scotians all from a Halifax program are 100-pointers? Go Nova Scotia go!

Well, King, it seems like we’re still in business. Looks like the commissioner did a little house cleaning. I think we make good role models and examples of how gentlemanly banter is supposed to be. I am somewhat surprised and disappointed in your provincialism though. Here in Hockeytown, aka Detroit, we appreciate diversity and embrace hockey players from Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czechoslovakia, and yes, even Canada. I think your enjoyment of the game would increase exponentially if you did the same.
Couple of game 7’s tonight. Die Toronto, DIE!

When I was young, I had a team, the Habs, only because of The Rocket and later Belliveau. In the old Forum, I've never seen the intensity of The Rocket crossing the blue line. Then I met Yzerman in Montreal. And then Orr took my eye, and Gretzky who my family did a favour and he reciprocated most generously to a terminally ill boy, a neighbour. I liked the goofiness of Eddy Shack, so the attraction for me is in the characters. I no longer have a team. Now imagine the amazing amalgam of Marchand, MacKinnon and Crosby, covering the sublime to ridiculous, each 100-pointers from a Nova Scotia neighbourhood-- similar to my polyglot NHL characters. Call it provincialism, nationalism, chauvinism or screwball. You're in a lonely orbit, lonesome. You've a team; I have a wonderful world cast of characters 24/7.

Pulling for Toronto. Expecting the Bruins. Nashville bites the dust. This has been a bad post season for top teams from the season.
King, years ago I used to do business with Shack. What a character.
Detroit? Hockeytown? LR, Don't make me laugh.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

If I had wanted to make you laugh I would have said Winnipeg. Or any other Canadian city for that matter. 26 and counting. ___________________________ https://youtu.be/kJxiiRGTUqo

The King and I should be ‘candidates’ for most gentlemanly banterers of the year. Not sure what rocky (Yo, Adrien!) master baiter had in mind with that thread but the commissioner didn’t just lock it he shytecanned it. Harsh. Anywho, I told you all that to tell you this, second round of the NHL playoffs starts tonight. Go, go, Blue Jackets! __________________________ Throw it at the net and redirect. https://youtu.be/yUxIuLo0jlM

Columbus hanging tough with Boston. Typical Nova Scotian sportsmanship. What a jack wagon. https://youtu.be/OrHnp0W8azM____________________________ What do they have on the telly in a pub in London? Cricket?

Pro-gun conversation more exciting than anything on pub telly, lonesome.
Had it down to fine art as dangerous sport with the Irish in the 50s in East London pubs, a double barrel: I as animal killer and why the Irish on Hitler's side during the war? (The Irish were much quicker than the English to pick up I was out for fun and more interesting conversation.)
