Tons of new music coming out, and browsing - maybe hearing something in the store would spark a purchase. No online reviews, streaming or other 'clues'. Radio wasn't playing the bands I was looking for, so you would go by word of mouth, related bands, etc. Read the liner notes on the way home.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 1:18 pm Just think of alll the fun shit we got to do in the 70s and 80s...the modern day conveniences and connectivity has ruined everything.

These days, a new album comes out, I stream it - it might be good or even great, but the 'connection' is lost.

I remember taking the Pacific Coach Lines bus down King George Hwy into the bus depot at the Royal Towers Hotel in New West and getting the all day bus pass on Sundays when I was 12-13. Hop on the PCL, light up a smoke and before I new it I was in the big city (New West). Get on the trolley bus, buy that pass, light up another smoke (you need at least half a pack for the trip). I remember lighting up a smoke and wandering around Woodward's when it was open, it was closed on Sundays of course. I enjoyed just seeing the sights back then.

The smoke shops in Gastown were the best thing as kids in the 70’s. You could by “rush” there. Who remembers those little bottles of “rush”? They were a fantastic gateway to huffing airplane model glue.

Right you are Hargraves.
Here's Mathowny's last post ever at this site, lol wut a dolt.
His heroes Higgins and Matthias never did a damn thing from this post on:

We're getting good value for Higgins. He is on a reasonable contract @ 2.5M for 4 years with a limited NTC and has been utilized almost exclusively as a 2nd line player. Comparables are:
- Mikael Boedker (25Y/14G/14A/28P)
- Brandon Prust (30Y/4G/9A/13P)
- Matt Cooke (36Y/4G/40A/8P)
- Brayden Schenn (23Y/11G/23A/34P)
Burrow's (33Y/12G/13A/25P): We're not getting good value for Burrows. His contract @ 4.5M for 4 is too much for his current year production. Comparables are:
- David Backes (30Y/19G/21A/40P)
- Teddy Purcell (29Y/8G/19A/27P)
- Erik Cole (36Y/17G/14A/31P)
- Max Pacioretty (26Y/29G/23A/52P)
- Martin Erat (33Y/8G/18A/26P)
I don't share your concern of signing Matthias to Burr/Higgins contract mainly because all three players bring different skillets and are in different contract situations. Higgins = Good Value. Burr = Bad value combined with signing for 4 additional years at age 32.
Matthias is 26 and as I've shown in my research, his classification as a 3rd line player may be due to a stunted player development process in Florida. His junior numbers paralleled that of Matt Beleskey and Matt currently is a top 6 player on Anaheim. The main difference between Beleskey and Matthias is height with Beleskey at 6'0 and Matthias 6'4.
Are you firm in your opinion of Matthias as a 3rd line player with some top 6 talent? Because I'm not. Based on how aggressive he's playing right now and how easy he's making it look I think Matthias is ready to bust out as a 50+ point player. A current player that I see as similar to Matthias is Wayne Simmonds. Simmonds has much better career numbers but he's also played for much better organizations in the Kings and the Flyers. Anther interesting stat is Matthias's OHL numbers are MUCH better than Simmonds. There's a 47 point difference in their last season of junior.
I'd like to see Desjardins bump him up to the 2nd line to play with Vrbata and Bonez (when he comes back) to see what can do. We could have a diamond in the rough in Matthias.

The Pacific Coach from N. Delta to New West. Fries and gravy at the Royal Towers, Kelly's Records at 6th and Columbia, the guys grwoing old gracelessly sitting in the chairs outside the elevator on the rooftop parking deck of Woodwards, trying to find a way to hop in one of those baskets for the grocery tunnel ride to the outdoor pick up.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 5:19 pm I remember taking the Pacific Coach Lines bus down King George Hwy into the bus depot at the Royal Towers Hotel in New West and getting the all day bus pass on Sundays when I was 12-13.

Finally had a beer at the Royal Towers after seeing Scarface in the theatre with my brother and a buddy of his who lived in that neighbourhood.
Skipping school to hop a bus downtown from Burnaby to hang around A&B.
Grade 5 in N Delta, buddies and I scraping together 50 cents to buy smokes at 84th and 112th and arguing over Players Filter or Export then hanging out smoking and copping feels with our girlfriends in the dugouts of the just built Mackie Park (used to be a pig farm, same with Grey Elementary, Sands Jr High).
and Mathowny, I'm glad all three brought different skillets, it made the pot luck dinner so much better.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: LOL
If he had a brain he'd jump at a chance to wear a mask so people wouldn't recognize him as "that hotdog guy".
But then if he had a brain he'd realize being recognized as the hotdog guy is a bad thing.
Also if he had a brain he'd do better than hot dog guy.
