Man, I've been pretty down lately, but ever since the hockey season has been back I've been in so much of a better mood.

Maybe I just needed a outlet to let out a bit of steam

I just received a very important package in the mail.

That's great, great video to post. Well done. A lot of the younger people that don't know the Hip have only the recent televised Kingston concert as a live reference.

End of an era, if they were to ever make a Canadian version of Dazed and Confused, circa 1995, the entire soundtrack could be the Hip.

Apparently all it takes to get onto a movie set without anyone asking a single question is to wear a hi-vis vest. Walked right onto...and through...the set of Dwayne Johnsons movie Skyscraper and no one said a thing.

Any kind of Canucks gear/hats etc is so gross to look at and tacky. My god. I'd buy Boston shit before some of the stuff they have of the Canucks. The wordmark makes me want to puke.

 

[The Stig]

You have a lot of pent up rage.

 

[PG Canuck]

Cause our logo is shit.

Stick-in-rink forever GOAT

Cause our logo is ****.

I dont think it is. I mean its not the best but its pretty good. Represents the area well with the Native art and the orca.

 

[The Stig]

Btw how would people feel about a General Discussion/Stuff Thats Not Threadworthy canucks thread?

 

[vancityluongo]

omfg....Canes board is legendary

Think we could post enough albums to toss a "Fire Benning" up here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/members/?type=xengallery_album

We already got a guy near the top.

 

[Josepho]

we could but that'd be stealing

 

[PG Canuck]

we could but that'd be stealing

But we are Canucks fans so it's ok.

The orca logo looks terrible on almost any hat. I've found one good one in the 15 years or so we've had it and the logo was completely black which made it look way less busy. It's even hard to find a stick in the rink hat that looks good because they are usually those stupid flat rim hats that look good on maybe 1 out of 100 people. The 90's logo doesn't look good on hats either but I have seen a couple Flying V hats that looked decent. Hockey hats in general are just terrible, baseball hats are where they are at.

Thinking of getting a nice blue Dodgers one as I've fully jumped on the Kershaw bandwagon this fall and it has a very nice and clean logo. I'm also a big fan of the colour blue as long as it's not too bright.

Yeah, I have two Canucks hats I think look fine. A Millionaires hat and a mostly black/dark grey one

Been a rough couple weeks, been trying to process the loss of my grandma but I know even typing this will irk me. She went to Kenya in August to visit my aunt, and complained of a chest ache so they took her in and conducted a few tests (ECG etc) yet they weren't able to find anything, finally they did a blood test and saw that she had multiple clogged arteries the doctor in Kenya said it accumulated over the past 5 years and they have been clogged for multiple years. She tested her heart so many times in Vancouver and the doctors always told her she was okay, and 100% healthy so that's pretty hard. She was flown to South Africa to conduct an open heart surgery, I was up alll night waiting for the results and the doctors told mt dad that the surgery went extremely well and she was slated to wake up in the next 24/48 hours. 48 hours later my uncle messages our group chat saying she was critical... Caught me completely off guard, they tried everything to save her but her BP kept dropping so they rightfully decided to pull the plug. Been tough I was so close to her, and was the first loss to someone close to me. 5 days later my best friends grandma passed away too. 1 week later my other best friends aunt who was 37 passed away on her 6 year old sons birthday...

Times have been tough.

That's rough, I'm sorry to hear that. Cherish those around you, life is far too short and misfortune can hit anyone abruptly.

Yeah I really don't buy any hockey related hats...most don't look that good, but some are really nice but I'm not wearing a Leafs/Habs/Bruins hat or random teams like Carolina, Minny etc.

Baseball hats are definitely where it is at.

I have at least one hat for every team I support though.
