OT: Leafs Board OT Thread

I just want people to get off of "we all watched it" "All of Canada is closed"

Some of us didn't, and its not.

One of the few times the country comes together. Ya there's some hyperbole but maybe it can be tolerated for a night.

Don't hold back tell us what you really feel.

What is that a seven song encore so far?

something like that, they've always been a 2-3 encore band.

 

[Mr Hockey*]

In case some dont know the singer Gord Downie had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

True but it still usually caps out at 4 or 5 songs.

Yes it can be tolerated. But I believe Bob Baker has tweeted and told people that nobody has ever said this is the last show, Bob Mac has tweeted that Gord has solo project on the go. I get the warm fuzzies that this tour has created but the group think here is troubling, I have never personally been taught all my life that the problems in the North are to be ignored.

I feel like everyone is watching this. It's almost like Canada is closed!

You missed a great experience then. That was an historic concert series and final show. Can't get much more Canadiana than that.

Great weather here over the weekend. The summer is back.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Wow. Attached at "the hip". That was awesome to watch. Likely the most emotional ever seen in this country.

Hip on!

 

[ShaneFalco]

The neighborhood was rocking last night to the Hip

All due respect to Gord Downie, I think watching and following Terry Fox run across the majority of Canada before having to stop and eventually passing on was more emotional.


But Gord Downie is a legend. To do all those performances, including a final 2 1/2 hour performance, going what he's going through.... is simply amazing, and does put him up there.

The concert was an iconic event and since I know Bobcaygeon very well, it is my favourite Song.

 

[Hurt]

Grow up, guys. If you don't agree with someone, use your big boy/big girl words. If you don't have any, don't say anything at all.

 

[chatty4756]

although I'm not a passionate hip fan, I watched that concert and got goosebumps. whether you are a fan or not, heres a guy going through something that we would never wish on our enemies and something that would have already left 99% of us wallowing in self pity and he puts on a 2 1/2 almost 3 hour concert. its a day as canadians none of us should ever forget

 

[Hurt]

Anyone had a chance to listen to Frank's new album? It's good but it's no Channel Orange.

Also, this isn't 'Boys Don't Cry', right? 'Blonde' is a separate project?

And did it multiple times in rapid succession. He truly left it all on the stage.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

What a fight.

I had the fight 3-2 Conor. (1,2,4)

I am a huge Diaz fan. Funny, as a huge MMA fan, I didn't even know about the Hips live concert last night. (Knew about it as I had a few friends going, but didn't know it was on TV)

You see a lot of self pity here without even needing a terminal illness
