Your complete and total lack of effort to feign even the most minuscule degree of objectivity in your journalistic role is really quite remarkable.
I know I am old and out of touch, but is there anyone else out there who has never once heard of Tate McRea before today? This is not meant as a shot at her in the slightest, I am just curious if I am in a league of my own out of touch wise.
And just like that the odds of me touching my Edmonton born wife’s body in the next two weeks are now virtually nonexistent, while the odds of having projectiles hurled at me by said wife are off the charts.
I will say it again, it is VERY frustrating to be paying for the full Sportsnet cable package and still be unable to watch the Edmonton game due to bullshit regional restrictions.
I’ve never been more proud than I am of my incredible wife today. Nursing school is incredibly tough and demanding under any circumstances, but to absolutely obliterate as she has while continuing to be super mom to our small kids and a wonderful wife to me is just astounding. ❤️

My bad, I made an assumption based on the “conservative” and “follower of Christ” in your bio. With that said, I still think if that was the one your 2 y/o wanted you should have gotten it, who cares if you don’t like it, it’s not about you. Just my opinion though.
We met this adorable little lady this evening, and absolutely fell in love with her. Her foster was supposed to visit with several other people who also put in applications for her, but not long after she left we were told by the manager of the rescue organization she is ours! 😍
One pretty cool aspect of the Canucks standing pat today that I had not previously considered is that b/c no one got shipped out with the exception of Kuzmenko everyone who has contributed to this special and most unexpectedly successful season gets to see it through to the end.

He is only 6 years younger than me, and I’m still sore today from scrubbing the grout in our shower last Friday. Cut the man some slack.
Our Annual Family Arrogance Day has arrived once more, there is no way in hell any of this lasts long enough to find its way into the hands of Trick or Treaters. 🤦♂️
A very happy 8th birthday to my daughter today, it is hard to believe this was 6 years ago. 😢 I’m not very comfortable sharing pics of my kids on this nightmarish hell app, but I figure it’s ok since this pic is so old and she looks so different now.
Pray for me, I didn’t start it but I am now embroiled in a feud with a bunch of neighbourhood NIMBY Karens. If I’m never heard from again it was 100% the Karens, please avenge my death.
My kids have FINALLY taken an interest in playing street hockey with me and if I may be crass for a moment I am all but crapping my pants with excitement.
Consider yourselves all warned, I just had knee surgery and am going to be laid up for a few days, so the odds of a shitstorm of inane tweets from me are exceedingly high.
This may be an unpopular notion, but JR/PA have earned my trust. We know they are very aggressive, and if they don’t pull the trigger on this or that trade it’s because they have both long and short term plans that are not in keeping with the ask. I think some faith is in order.
The important thing is that we can all rest easy tonight knowing that Canucks Twitter and Oilers Twitter will handle this series in a mature and respectful manner. 😐
Now that I have had some time to collect my thoughts, I have watched hockey for quite a long time now, and that is among the craziest shit I have ever seen.
Question Twitter friends: my Petey jersey that my wife ordered me arrived today, and I am trying to decide if I like the size as is or would prefer a slightly smaller one. Any thoughts are welcome, perhaps other than those making fun of my admittedly poor mirror selfie skills.
I am in love. She is settling in very nicely, and is just ridiculously funny and sweet. She definitely hasn’t had any training whatsoever though, she is pretty out of order. 😂
I could certainly do with 95% of my feed not being devoted to US politics, and I am still quite fearful that hate may ultimately win, but over the last 24 hours I have felt much more like I am hope scrolling than doom scrolling, and that’s not nothing.
Post a photo of you in your previous life.
I was then living relatively happy and carefree in Whistler before I succumbed to full-blown alcoholism.
The story ends well though, as that helped pave the way for who I am today, a much better and stronger person in every way.

Men like you are a big part of the reason that a central part of being a man is living with profound embarrassment and disgust on behalf of all men, so thanks for that.
Ok Canucks, I’ve ordered pizza and am watching the game with my kids to try and get them hooked so that they too can enjoy a lifetime of cyclical hope, misery, and despair. Help me out and make this a good one.
#Canucks
This is probably a stupid question, but does anyone else sort of subconsciously assume that people who use a profile picture that is clearly not them nonetheless kind of look like that picture?
Ok I know the Minnie stuff is going to get real old real fast, but I shit you all not she is now asleep like this. I think she misses the hot Mexican sun! 😂
My wife, while making chili: “Do you think we should make salad as well?”
Me: “No, chili is like liquid salad, plus, salad is stupid.”
Follow me for more nutritional advice just like this.
Though I have never doubted my love for hockey in its own right, I am now perhaps more acutely aware than ever of the extent to which I rely on it to distract me from the many awful things that are happening in the world over which I have no control.
As I was walking down the hill to work in my Petey jersey after parking my car I saw another guy I’ve never seen before walking the other way also rocking a Petey jersey, feels like a sign?
@ambermac
I am sorry, but not at all surprised that this has been your experience. There definitely seems to be no shortage of men on here (and I suppose in the world in general) who appear to make it their very purpose in life to try to silence and cut women down.
Whenever anyone is in the kitchen Pumpkin sits there and stares at them in the hope that they will open that there cupboard and give her a Churu. 😂 As you can see she is dangerously underfed.
This is a stark reminder that at the end of the day regardless of however much we may love it hockey is but a game. I am absolutely devastated for the Gaudreau family, and can’t even begin to imagine the grief and pain they are going through right now.
I just went to the ocean with my kids, and I was hoping to see an orca, because I feel like that would have been a good omen. I didn’t see an orca, but I did see a dog that was barking kind of like a seal, and orcas eat seals, so I feel like that’s pretty much just as good?
@JohnSmi03883095
She is wearing a bathing suit at the beach you moron, and what on earth makes you think she gives a flying fuck what a racist incel like you who wants to abolish interracial marriage thinks. You probably think the earth is around 6000 years old despite being a living dinosaur.
Today marks one month since my previous account was permanently suspended for no reason. If you followed that account and do not regard that as having been poor judgement on your part I would love to have you back! I promise one of these days I’ll shut up about this and move on.
It is fitting beyond belief that as a hilariously non-photogenic person the one photo from yesterday where I don’t look terrible is one where everyone but me is looking at a different camera. 😂
@blametanev8
They look unbelievably stupid. It looks like they are ripped, all the more so because you know they are fanatics so that is legit a distinct possibility.
I just saw a random post about Hughes demanding a trade to Ottawa to play with Tkachuk and Norris. That’s stupid, but what wouldn’t be stupid is if Tkachuk and Norris got married and adopted a baby, and named that baby Tkachuk Norris.
Me: Lately I am really struggling with how exhausted I feel all the time.
My brain: Would it help if I routinely make it extremely difficult for you to fall asleep, and then wake you up well before your alarm?
@MelissaLMRogers
Do you wear a seatbelt or drive on the correct side of the street, or do any number of countless other day to day social conventions? Guess what, you have been CONTROLLED. 😂
My wife just practiced her EpiPen presentation on our kids and I, and my main takeaways were that a) I love her very much and she is very good at presentations, and b) that our kids are a couple of world class ding dongs. 😂
