I wonder if Phil Pritchard has a sister. Or can clone himself.

The Walter Cup is missing — or at least the version of the trophy that belongs to the Professional Women’s Hockey League champion Montreal Victoire, the league told The Associated Press.

It’s a LOT of silver even if it doesn’t have the fame and notoriety of the Stanley Cup.

Slavin served some ‘cue from the Cup

Ok but Eastern or Western?

There are more than that. NC, SC, KC, TX, Memphis for staters.

But those other ones don't count.

Yes but we’re talking about real bbq here.

 

[jeffbear]

The only BBQ that isn’t “real” is the one people where people use it as a verb. I’m a massive fan of Eastern Que, but come on … the other stuff is good too.

And those look like St Louis ribs, which are freaking delicious when done right

If anyone is familiar with Dick’s Last Resort restaurant chain, you know the servers are supposed to be rude and nasty to customers. When my oldest daughter graduated from Boston University, we went to Dick’s in Quincy Market for a post graduation lunch. The server made a butcher paper hat for my then 80 year old father that offered lap dances for $5. They had a menu item called ”North Carolina Barbecue”. My daughter asked the server if it was Eastern or Western and she was stunned into silence.

Maybe prepping one for Dougie or his contract.

The Leafs released their ticket prices, according to Gino Hard. This seems late in the game, considering that opening night is a little over a month away. But the cheapest standard seat, without an obstructed view is C$215.00. And why does a building built in 1999 have obstructed view seats?

What do they count as obstructed view there?

Lenovo Center has a fair number of upper level seats that are officially considered obstructed view because the railings are in your sightline. I don't think they discount those for hockey (or for anything?)

Lots of complaints about the new stadium in Buffalo having obstructed view seats and the season ticket holders weren't able to see the obstruction when they selected seats....the real kick in the nuts is their obstructed view seats cost almost double what they paid for season tickets in better seats in the old stadium. There is a photo from one seat in the corner of the upper level and the jumbotron blocks his view from the 30 yard line to the end zone lol

It's also 2,752,481.55 Indonesian Rupiah or 148,318,343.25 Iranian Rial. Just be thankful you don't have to carry those currencies around, though Indonesia can be a lovely place, even if they kinda use Monopoly money.
