And just to help out any visitors to Calgary. The city is pronounced 'Cal-gree' not 'Cal-gary' as it is spelled.

While I don't claim to be a rules expert, I am a certified AHA (Alberta Hockey Association) level 4 referee (NHL refs are level 6). Personally, I would have called a 5 minute major on Nieminen for boarding and have that be the end of it (Although it wouldn't be my decision). Saying things...

But Colin Campbell previously said in determining whether or not Stillman would be suspended, he kept close watch on Nilsson's condition. If Nilsson wasn't able to play, neither would Stillman. Granted, even as a Calgary fan, I would say Niienmbuy-a-vowel's hit was more visious, they both...

I guess since I'm new to this financial responsibility thing (I'm 26 and never really thought about it before), I'll jump in. I'm a graphic designer and my fiancee is in medical research. Combined we make about $70,000 a year, we just bought our first house with $10,000 down, and our 99...

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this, but I'll ask anyway. I'm trying to come up with a list of as many production companies as I can and need some help. I'll start: View Askew - Kevin Smith Amblin Entertainment - Steven Spielberg A Band Apart - Quentin Tarantino Image Movers...

I think they're all pretty much on vacation right now. After finishing the Riot Act tour last year, Jeff went to Africa and isn't back yet and Ed's in Australia. Their 'Lost Dogs' rarities disc came out in November and a new 'Live at the Garden' DVD was released. Apart from that I haven't...

Haha, that used to happen all the time and it really bugged me. This one girl used to do it like it was a party trick, "What color's this.....hahahaha you don't know." One time I asked her if she asked parapeligics to get up and walk to her when she saw them in the mall and then laugh at...

Peter, I don't think my disorder is the same as what you're describing. I can see red without a problem. In fact, I tend to use red more often (I'm a marketing designer) becaue I know I see it properly. On the other hand, I'll very seldom use green or brown because I'm not very confidant...

I'm color blind and have problems with blue and purple and sometimes green and brown. If say you put two colored blocks in front of me, one blue, one purple, I could tell you which is which correctly. But if you showed me just a purple block on its own, I'd be guessing. Same thing with close...

I used to live in a townhouse with only 1 attached neighbour. Both homes had finished walkout basements but the concrete foundation wall in the basement was only 4 feet high, the rest was just drywall, insulated drywall, but only drywall none the less. I talked to my neighbour when we moved...

That's mostly right Angelo. French Fries + Gravy + Cheese Curds = Poutine. My fiance kept telling me, "We have to go for poutine, we have to go for poutine" and despite really trying, I couldn't get excited for french fries, gravy and cheese. We went to Le Belle Province one night and I...

My fiance grew up in Montreal and took me back over our Christmas holidays for a week and a half. I thought it was one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. It was nice to have a personal tour guide too. The first thing on the list of things to see is probably the old port. It's the...

Teacher: You'll never guess what happened today. Husband: What honey? Teacher: A boy sexually harassed the girls in the class by bringing in a swimsuit magazine. Husband: I hope you showed him up dear. Teacher: Damn right I did. I kicked him out of school. Husband: Awww, I'm so...

A little bit longer then 90 minutes, but Trainspotting was the first thing that popped into my head. It's 94 minutes.

Two days ago my Pioneer Elite VSX-37TX started acting funny. Not funny 'ha-ha', but funny in a PT Anderson sort of way. Just watching TV, the receiver started shutting down if the volume was increased over -25dB. My first thought was, "What's that smell?" but right after that was, "What's...

Thanks for the suggestions. I took him to work with me today and am running out every hour to take him for short walks. He's a lot happier in the car then when I left him at home. I think I'm going to try the 'leave for 5 minutes - come back, leave for 8 minutes - come back' method this...

So we are colder then Hell! At least it's supposed to warm up by March.

Depends who the parking ticket was issued by. We have a private parking company here called Impark, that owns and runs parking lots downtown as well as city owned metered parking. If I get a city ticket, I always pay it. I don't want unpaid parking tickets showing up on my driving record. But...

Tony, I don't suppose you caught the answer to the CFCN weather trivia last night did you? Is Calgary colder then Hell? I missed the answer.

Calgary, Alberta Current temperature, 9:40am: Air temp: -35C; -31F Wind Chill: -47C; -53F I'm wearing long underwear right now.

I'm a little dissapointed that 'Man of the Hour' from Big Fish didn't get nominated for best song. I'm not usually one to sit through the credits but as soon as the opening chords of that song were played, I sat back down in my seat. Really a great song from a great movie.

My fiance and I adopted a 10 month old siberian husky last friday and today had our first problem. He was great all weekend, barely making a sound but today when we left for work, he started barking and whining, obviously not to happy about being left alone. I went home over the lunch hour...

Casey, you're likely to see Joe Sakic and Alex Tanguay in the game and maybe Milan Hejduk. All three are having excellent seasons. Rob Blake has already been chosen as a starter.

You're right Andrew, there is a lot more to being a defenceman than scoring but Stevens' defensive play this year hasn't been that steller either. On one of the best defensive teams in the league he's only a +3. But regardless of stats, in my view there were several players more deserving of...

This year is just another example of why fan voting should be done away with in the NHL. Of the 6 forwards selected, only one of them, Kovalchuk, is in the top 10 in league scoring. I can't believe Modano was selected over Sakic or Datsyuk, both of whom are having excellent seasons. Eight...
