Scored his 49th and 50th goals of the season last night in Las Vegas.
This marks him as the oldest player in NHL history to have a 50 goal season (he's 36 years 215 days, cause they count each day in sports....) The last goal puts him 22 goals away from second place overall in scoring (behind Gretzky and above Gordie Howe)
The man is a total beast on the ice and it's amazing to see his speed and physicality in person. And most people say that he's very pleasant and nice if you meet him in person too.
It's a pity that he's in Putin's pocket all the way - I love watching him play, but have lost most of my respect for him as a person. The respect I have is that as a pro athlete who's making more money that my entire neighborhood will see in their lifetime, he is still approachable by fans and gets that they're the ones putting those dollars in his pocket.
And I hope he gets that if he wasn't the athlete that he is, his ass would have been on a plane to Russia so he could chat with his buddy Vlad in person.

No matter how great an athlete, I can't even look in his direction if he parties with a tyrant. To emphasize that point, I have completely cut off friends and associations because of them being in cult45. And that guy was just a false messiah.... so AO is dead to me for supporting a real mass murderer.

I feel that way about most professional athletes - lots of them loved the Donald and were 100% behind them.
Can admire their athletic skills, but not much else.

You would have loved to had been at the DDI with me tonight when I finally took them all to church on the finer points of why they are all dumb as fuck. No one was spared insult or injury.

Why don't you record this shit? Why???
Seriously though, there are some professional athletes who speak out against injustice, but for the most part they are all in with whatever the head of their sport decrees the party line should be. NBA is a prime example - many players speak out about human rights, but the league itself supports China and expanding the sport there. You don't hear much from their players about human rights abuses in China anymore.
And we won't go there in terms of the NFL.....

One of the big things with the old white guys here is they will state something as fact and then tell someone (usually me) to "look it up". I tell them that if they say it, it's not my responsibility to prove their dumb shit, it's theirs. So don't open your pie hole and tell me some stupid shit and then tell me to "look it up". Fuck you. This was an actual exchange from yesterday. Also was the argument and insistence that Mister Trump's tweets, videos, and live broadcasts were all modified by the media that made him look like a crook, a thief, and a liar.... as well as a sociopath and narcissist. ALL were finagled by the media to make him look that way. My response was that they were going to suffocate with their head planted that firmly up their own asses. So what about the dozens of people that worked for him, in his companies and in his administration that confirmed how tragically void of the truth he was and only cared about his brand, and how he could boost it with his position..... well, Soros and Obama. "So basically what you are saying is that you are too weak to have intelligent conversations". My friend who reminds me of Minx was over the bar dropping mics on all these dumb-assed half-educated nitwits too. She is so awesome. It was a sight to see. I dipped out before it got nasty (yes most of this was actually good-natured). Have to save something for the final parting shot. Maybe I'll bring up religion.

Maybe save that for the night before we move.... to be on the safe side. LOL
No. It's come to my surprise once or twice that most of these con(servative) people here either don't know what it is or don't give a rat's ass, oh, a maybe you get an unintelligible series of grunts but that really is about it.... It's probably their democrat supporting Trump yesteryear pre-devil skull voice telling them it's an empty jug.

My in-laws are from there. I’ve met more bigoted people but I’ve never had to stay in the same home. My BIL was a huge Rush fan (not the band). Ugh.

My nephew's memorial service is the first weekend of June. This is the guy who went to the ER because he couldn't breathe, and had passed out more than once. He tested positive for COVID while in the ER and was on a event less than 24 hours later.
But according to his family he did not die from COVID - he actually had a massive asthma attack. The hospital said it was COVID to get extra money. And of course Our Lord Trump did everything possible to protect us all, it was Evil Biden who undid all the good.
Anyway, BIL and his wife used to work at Disney, and they worship the place. So you know that Mr. Minx has now decided that I MUST be present at the festivities to discuss how woke Disney has become. HA. No.

We have our daughter's baby shower this weekend and while I'm not trying to be a putz about it, I am hoping to find a quiet and shady corner to hide in and hope nobody finds me. Seriously, the only thing that would make it any less comfortable for me is if my mother shows up. In which case I can 100% assure you that I will drop mrsdave off at the end of their driveway and she can call me when she's ready to leave.
SIL is a two faced #@$% and I can't even stand to look at that fake smile and loving hug shit one more time in my life. I might stab her for real. SO sick of going to these events that happen once every couple of years and then all of the "oh, we should get together sometime" and "it's too bad the only time we see each other is at funerals" type shit and it's so phony, like they never ONCE in all that time reach out in any way whatsoever.... go fuck yourself. Sorry Reverend but it had to be said.

I get you. This is pretty much the same situation with my BIL - the last time we saw him was when we interred my MIL's ashes. Last time we talked to him was when he told us step-nephew had died.
Now mind you, I get that he's grieving. But everything we've heard about these services has been second-hand through another IL, who has heard it from a different one. Not asking BIL or his wife to call us each individually, but there is a family text chain. How fucking hard is it to post the details there? In the meantime, SIL and her husband will be driving in from KY (service is in PA just north of Cumberland) and staying Friday and Saturday before driving home. Other BIL and wife are flying in from CO and renting a car to get there (also staying overnight in that area). Spouse is driving 3.5hrs (we're the closest) and staying overnight as well.
That's a shitload of time and money to come to an event simply to support their brother, who isn't bothering to give them any information.
Mr. Minx still says I don't have to go, but now CO BIL and his wife are saying I totally need to be there. BIL says that I need to support his wife so she doesn't go postal. Mr. Minx says that he wants me to be there to help set off the fireworks.
All of this for a kid I haven't seen in a decade - that was at my other BILs funeral - step nephew was very polite, and I think we exchanged a total of three sentences. Oh, and I sent him a wedding gift.
I shall be rooting for your quiet corner with a nice brewski.

We can’t choose our family, unfortunately.
My BFF works in an antique mall kind of place here and told me that she met my late husband’s ex. She was talking (bragging) about having buried 2 husbands and was buying a piece of furniture for her boyfriend. She told BFF that she may know her first husband because he was from KG. When she mentioned my husband’s name, my BFF said, “Oh, yeah, I helped care for him at the end.” Well, BFF said ex got very quiet and didn’t have much more to say. 🤣🤣
