mfitz804 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, DevsMan84 said: It's amazing how much people still don't care about what they say even when they know they are being recorded. Example is that when I go on business trips 2-6 times a year these days, my company hires a limo company to have a black car take me to and from the airport from my house. Almost always it is just literally me and the driver and I live about 50-60 minutes from Newark Airport and all of these cars have a camera in the front recording the entire time installed by the limo company. Way too many times the drivers just talk about whatever comes to mind including pretty intimate details about their lives. One time after the driver picked me up, he proceeded to tell me about every single sexual conquest he has ever had in his life (he was in his late 50's) for the entire drive home. I was ready to jump out of the car and onto rt 78 halfway through. Yeah, maybe its just me, but i don't want to have a conversation with a driver. I just want them to drive me where I need to be. Every once in a while I get a guy (almost always going to the airport) who wants to talk about everything. I really don't like it. But, if I were so inclined, I could vent about my boss without anyone knowing who that was, because I don't play in the NHL. Those guys were so stupid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am the same way where I rather just check my phone or listen to music rather than talk to the driver. It is always awkward and a lot of times I just want to relax right before or right after stepping onto a plane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Of course it was a real d*ck move by the driver to do that. But as NHL players and public figures they're complete idiots for not having the common sense to realize not to have that conversation in front of a complete stranger.

Satans Hockey Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Uber driver is absolutely an ass and deserves to be fired but these guys had no common sense either. The guy even asked them what team they played for. I have no problems with what the players said but they could have waited 5 mins and had the conversation amongst themselves instead of doing it in front of a stranger. It's 2018, anyone who even follows the news once in awhile knows that we are basically being recorded at all times when we are out in public. People who are public figures should already be even more aware of this by now. I also detest talking to drivers when I just want to get from one place to another and I always try to have my headphones on even if I don't have music playing. Don't care if the drivers think I'm rude or not, I'm not interested in your life story. If I don't have them I usually give one word answers and people get the idea pretty quickly. I also rate drivers worse who don't get the hint. Edited November 6, 2018 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you confront her about it and she's now trying to give you sh!t for going through her phone lol you both sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Pettersson gets his 10th goal in as many games. https://streamable.com/dnely Canadian hype is out of control already, people consider him the runaway best player in the draft already. I'll say this - he certainly seems to possess more raw dynamic skill than Nico and Nolan. Edited November 7, 2018 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Also, during the first intermission of the Ducks Wild game, the Ducks team interviewed the artist who has designed the masks for a decade or two now. They were talking about Gibson’s veteran’s day mask and he broke down saying how much it means to him because of his grandfather and it’s the least he can do to honor vets. I, for obvious reasons to most, hold this and the other two “holidays” near and dear, so this was really cool to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 So Jesse Puljujärvi seems to playing his way out of Edmonton.. it sounds like they may be demoting him to the AHL soon to 'regain his confidence'. Sound familiar? I have zero clue as to whether the value is there - or if it's something we'd even want to do - but do you guys think there's a deal to be made around Zacha for Puljujärvi? I admittedly don't watch a ton of Oilers games so I don't know much about him besides his draft pedigree. I imagine a guy like @Triumph might know a bit about him. But these are two young guys who might greatly benefit from a change of scenery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Edmonton does it just for the fear of another infamous “The trade is one for one” scenario 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ‘clear’ that Pettersson is better than Nico? What, why? Because he’s had a fast start to his ten-game NHL career? Meanwhile Nico only helped his linemate win the Hart and centered the top line on a playoff team as an 18_yr old. Lazy Canadian bias. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still more impressed with Nico's full season as a 200ft player who put up 52 pts at 18 years old having never played professional hockey in NA over Pettersson's really impressive offense in a handful of games 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
