I don't sit on CP while watching games like I used to, sorry. I'm sure someone else can pick up the mantle. I'm still here though.

Blame Destiny.

Please don't say your daughter is named Destiny. I'd feel horrible for what I just said.

Nah, I have been playing Destiny on PS4 at night after my kids go to bed and my wife is working. Videogames + Flames hockey = good times.

Any news on Glencross, I assume he was hurt since he never came out for the third period?

Nice to see is beat a team we should have had no problem beating. Now the hard part. Potentially losing Glencross really hurts though.

If glencross is out we would get a nice little preview of how it would be if he was gone at the deadline.

He didn't come out for the second period either. It's a lower body injury apparently.

Sven Baertschi come on down. Seriously though, would assume Granlund moves to the wing.

Close.

You have to take 2-4 foreign languages between grades 3-9, and Swedish has to be one of those (being the other official language.) Pretty much everybody takes English at some point, but it's not technically mandatory.

Same goes for university, any foreign language + Swedish will technically do to get you in. In some fields German or French for example actually will be just as good. (And if you study Russian history for example, English is not much help )

But mostly it's assumed you know English, and in most fields not being fluent in it will be a problem.

People who are native English speakers that don't know any other languages take for granted just how lucky they are to be born in a place that speaks the Lingua Franca.

If you live in the western world, you either learn English or spend most of your life piecing together bits and pieces or hoping for a translation in pretty much anything you do.

Nah, being born a native English speaker would suck. I mean learning English is trivial compared to pretty much any other language, and knowing more than one language is great

Most Finns learn 90% of their English by watching TV and listening to their favourite bands. It's not exactly considered a hassle.

Ugh... Destiny is a good game, but I find the grind and diminishing returns of the game to be frustrating.

Anyway, awesome game! Anytime we can score a few goals on the Coyotes it's a good game... they're usually so boring.

Maybe the empty netter will get Mony going a bit more.

Was at one time Greek, Latin,French, Spanish...
Times change, language of commerce change as well.
May have to learn Chinese or Hindi eventually.
