Default Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

hab - i think it means pea soup in French, jessi can translate

if you mean the butterfly flop, tony esposito made that famous (most other guys of that era stood up straight, giacomin, plante, dryden)...anyhow, the goalie drops to his knees while spreading his pads like a butterfly does it's wings, making it hard to score without raising the puck (up into the top shelf of the net, where they keep the peanut butter...char can explain further)

rm, the cfl is where short qbs go (ones who can't see over nfl center's butts)...doug flutie, warren moon, etc made good here...i remember seeing theisman playing for toronto back in 1971...kicker, mike vanderjagt is back with cfl again...he lives closeby, he has large upright and a large net on his huge side lawn...anyhow, the western conf dominates the east except for montreal lately...we only get 3 down so there is a lot of passing and a lot of punt and field goal returns...the talent is better is the nfl but cfl rules are more fun (no fair catch) and the field is a larger size that allows for more zaniness...each team has to field so many canucks who are usually big white guys who never learned to skate...thx for the wishes, eh


btw, our equalalent of a football bonanza weekend is perhaps our 'hockey day in canada' where CBC picks a small hockey town and does documentaries on amatuer hockey development and shows the canadian team matchups from about 1pm to 12 midnight...the wives usually go shopping or something equally exciting but some woman are rabid fans and some men are just mild fans (they are the ones who can affford the corporate boxes and lower section seats...actuallly, most of us cannot even afford the nose bleeds)
