The NHL thread

[CFH]

Yeah FUCK CALGARY, and FUCK JAROME IGINLA. Now that Nolan is gone there is nothing pure in Calgary except that little kid imitator Kiprusoff has, that kid is the man.

That kid is awesome. The only thing I hate more in life than Calgary is Edmonton. I hope a giant black hole swallows up Alberta (and somehow transplants all that oil to B.C. in the process).

I feel the same way about LA. Take Hollywood to San Diego or Bakersfield or something and just give us all the boxing. The Dodgers can go away and the Angels will just have to ditch the LA from their name.

Good stuff on that Bourdon tribute, very sad. Motorcycles are no good.

Yeah, I posted a better version of the entire tribute, not just the song/video. I don't know if you saw it or the 1st one I had up.

As for the accident, he'd gotten a crotch-rocket 2 weeks before his death and was out riding it in highish winds (40-50 km/h gusts) and he was going around a corner (with his girlfriend driving a car behind him) when a gust hit him and forced him head on into an oncoming Semi.

Damn. I once almost witnessed something like that, some kids we were picking up friends from were skating down a huge hill that went straight down into the heart of our city on longboards and had a truck following behind keeping speed right behind them to see how fast. Finally some guy at the house flipped out on them saying how stupid it was so the dumasses on longboards kept going and when they turned around to go back up the hill they pulled out like 10 feet in front of a guy on his way down and he bailed to the side which his board hit right into the back tire of his truck.

Obviously Bourdon wasn't exercising such stupid judgement but the description just reminded me. Terribly sad, what an awful way to go out.

If it's the video still up then yeah that's the one I saw.
