And now Im thrilled to say we are expecting our first child this summer, which is the most amazing feeling ever. Anyways, that's enough personal blabber from me. Just wanted to share with my ERA bros.
Just saw this now, congrats man, that's pretty amazing, name him/ her Alex. Funny watching people from this community continue to grow and develop.Taking a quick break from talking trash, I don't often get personal here so excuse me for a brief moment while I do.
I don't know if any of you guys recall at the old place, probably 1.5 years back, me telling you how my girlfriend broke up with me on our 3rd anniversary, how we lived together and had 2 dogs together, and the rest of that. I haven't mentioned it since then but I want to now.
What happened since that day is we worked on it. Hard. We still lived together and loved each other so we just kept working at it a day at a time. And my God it was fucking hard. But we kept at it. Because it was worth it. And day by day, so slowly that it was barely noticeable, we repaired our relationship. I can unequivocally say that 2017 was the worst year of my life from a relationship perspective. I can also say that 2018 was one of the very best.
Lots happened since then. We had to put our old dog down, which was one of the hardest things I've ever done. We started building a house together almost a year to the day that I thought our relationship was dead, and we are moving into it soon.

I can't understate how happy I am to read this, and how happy I am for you and your girlfriend. Confratufuckinglations Solo, I'll be pouring one out for ya. And welcome to your new life!!!
I feel I just do not understand the Leafs and I never fucking will. Same shit season after season where we just can't handle teams that pressure us hard and don't give us the time to make plays. Is it the players, is it Bab's systems? I have no clue anymore, just so frustrating when teams that don't have nearly the skill that we do can stifle us based on their style of play and don't seem to have any problems bringing the puck up with possession and work as a complete line. Every team goes through tough stretches, but I feel like we've laid more complete eggs this season than other good teams and it's almost bewildering when we have these kind of weak games considering how we can play. I enjoy being a regular playoff team vs. what we were, but the lack of consistency drives you nuts.
Side-note hot-take: Marner is a better player than Matthews and the contract speculation if anything should be flipped around between them. Marner is so damned good and he can do it all, brilliant passing, accurate if not powerful shot, unreal creativity/vision, defensively strong, great PK, always tons of effort, and his body position and ability to roll off checks is phenomenal. Matthews is an amazing opportunistic player as he can usually score at will if you give him space, but he hasn't yet developed the ability to drive a line like Marner does and outplay/outpossess the other teams' match-up line. 'Course, Marner has Tavares to play with this year, but I just haven't seen Matthews as a complete player yet in his admittedly early career. Maybe unfair and reactionary, but it pisses you off when he's so often checked hard and the line can't accomplish anything after seeing how completely dominant he can be in stretches - like it's two different players. Hopefully injuries aren't setting him back too far, he has all the skill in the world, just needs to be able to use his teammates more and maybe change his style of play a bit as no one is giving him room anymore.

Thank you good sir!
Thanks man. I actually do/always have really liked Alex as a name (just the shortened version, not Alexander), but it doesnt flow great with my last name and one of our good friends has a child named that, so it's off the table.
Jesperi on the other hand...... lol
Thank you Smiley my friend! It truly means a lot. It took everything I have to turn things around and get to this point, but my God am I ever happy I fought for it.
You guys are just the best. Even Leafs ERA. Wishing all the best to everyone.
Much love Solo, happy to see all this news.
Just don't trust Creeper's babysitting service

My promise to myself as a huge Montreal fan in the beginning of the year: Order an autenthic Montreal jersey if they go to playoffs this year.
However, as a huge Montreal fan and seeing the team as exciting and fun as it is this year, I frankly don't care about wether we win or not. This is the first time in Y E A R S that I do my best to catch all the games I can, every week. And I live in Sweden lol.
Just ordered a Kotkaniemi Home jersey, $50 Shipping.
Its worth it.

Stars can give you Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, John Klingberg, Miro Heisaken, Ben Bishop, Radek Faksa, Esa Lindell and Matthis Janmark for Tanev, Sutter, Edler, Gudbranson and Markstrom.I hate my fucking team. The makings of an excellent core in Horvat, Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, and hopefully Hughes. After that? Nothing. And instead of acquiring more picks to draft more elite players, we're gunna waste our assets on an ill-advised playoff run. The bare minimum for this TDL is Sutter and one of Tanev, Edler, or Gudbranson need to be gone for picks. Anything else is an abject failure on the part of management.
And fuck the Central. I knew the Pacific was a dumpster fire but I really didn't expect that entire division to turn to shit and put the Canucks in a playoff position. The only team who has any excuse to be this bad is the Hawks and they have three cups to show for it. Fix your shit.
I would say yes but unfortunately, Benning was part of the Boston braintrust that traded Seguin. Canucks would decline because of a lack of character.Stars can give you Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, John Klingberg, Miro Heisaken, Ben Bishop, Radek Faksa, Esa Lindell and Matthis Janmark for Tanev, Sutter, Edler, Gudbranson and Markstrom.
Dude, what did you expect? This ownership group and management were ALWAYS going to push and go in the opposite direction if they felt playoffs were possible. This is why losing Linden mattered. This is why hoping for losses mattered. Not just for draft position, but to encourage them to continue with the rebuild. But they are -this close- to declaring the rebuild over and you know they probably believe it at times.I hate my fucking team.

Sick deal for a Kotkaniemi Jersey. I hope he keeps the Number 15. i didn't like it at first but it's grown on me.
I wish our three kids didn't have such boring numbers.
At least we have Tavares' 91 now
I expected them to do this once Linden was out of the picture. I just hoped everyone else wouldn't simultaneously suck ass and force us into a playoff spot. I'm relying on goddamn Edmonton to save us from Benning and Aquilini!Dude, what did you expect?

Also, waste our assets? You think Benning is gonna go on a shopping spree?
Second game and just because he wasn't in the big league doesn't mean he didn't belong there.
Until a goalie puts together 3 seasons with decent numbers I don't view them as a starter. Too many flash in the pansSecond game and just because he wasn't in the big league doesn't mean he didn't belong there.
Who are these Canucks fans you're talking about? If you're taking me specifically to task then acknowledge that I said "gonna be" and not "is". Which itself is a leap of faith, I know, and I rarely speak in absolute terms about Canucks prospects.Until a goalie puts together 3 seasons with decent numbers I don't view them as a starter.

The ducks win yet again, but get outshot severely yet again by their opponents. The hell.
It's like they put a small bandaid on the problems plauging their season.
