There are some folks who are good at ad reads - Dean is great at them. I am so awkward at doing them and I haven't developed the skill at making them smooth.

Dean is so smooth you don't realize you've transitioned to an ad read. You can close your eyes and be taken on a magic carpet through serene canyons and wispy clouds and next thing you know you're eating ribeye with Jesus at Bon Ton's.

The answer used to be Rico Fata, but then I did just that years ago. My new answer would be Cammalleri. Still my favourite player ever.

Just a bump, but they did their annual Christmas drink-fest today. I only caught the first hour at work with Commodore, McLennan, & Vernon in studio, and plan to watch the last 2(?) hours on Monday while spinning in my chair.

The part where they played the Christmas edition of "Bitches Ain't ####" was hilarious. The reaction of the guy sitting in between Boomer and Pinder was golden. He was like wtf is happening right now.

Hung out with him once after a charity event, he's the type that wants to talk about anything but hockey. Cool guy though and loved the city and the close mountains.

I like when Scorp was asked if he had a singing background and he mentioned that he was in the Royal Conservatory of Music and then Rhett's reaction. Yeah, well you've gotta protect the parks.

Pinder dropping tea that Neal shaved Johnny's head when John was sleeping on the bus in the overseas trip.

No wonder he didn't fit in with that room.

That’s all it was? I thought that was common hazing not to long ago. If that incident was “the thing” to me it sounds like a lot of nothing.

I think it highlights how things have changed. That type of thing just isn't tolerated anymore. If you do something to my body while I'm sleeping, I'm going to be PISSED.

Naw #### that, it's not a joke to cut someone's hair as a joke. People work on their hair a lot, it's important to a lot of people.

Not even joking, but what if his hair didn't grow back?

If someone did that to me, I would have smoked them. Not a joke.

No wonder he is good buddies with another bro loser like Commodore.

Hazing is stupid, and shaving a guys head is never in good taste.

Plus it's not like Johnny was a rookie, he was the teams superstar already by that point and was in his 5th season.

Not exactly the best way to introduce yourself into a locker room.
