Flynn Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I’ll say it.... that draft was boring AF.. after Kakko there was nothing exciting. I was expecting trades involving picks and/or roster players..No fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonGecko Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Kaka in Russian means "shit" that's what it means in every language, except apparently in the nordic countries. He's Kakko not Kakka though The guy from Game of Thrones who plays Jaime Lanester is from Denmark, his wife's name is Kakka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBrowningPI Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The drive from Newark to the city must have been a little intimidating for someone who heard NY is a big city. All you guys have probably been in a car with a first timer driving in. 100% of them are in awe. Welcome to your new home kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much worse than Turku" "No, Kaapo, we're going past that one - see the big buildings over there?" "Ah, good. What city is dump?" "Newark, Kaapo" "Glad not #1 now.

Dunny Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don't get it, I can't walk 15 feet in Manhattan without tripping over a homeless person, and the freeway to La Guardia had so much garbage lining it we looked like Japanese tourists we were so excited. Never seen anything like it. On the other hand, I thought Jersey was much cleaner, especially heading north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you're from a province that routinely stinks of refineries, I'm not entirely sure you'd notice the stench of NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a sprawling state divided into a NYC service area, a Philadelphia service area, and the Jersey Shore. It is true it gets quiet and clean once you get away from the main roads and peak behind the road sound barriers, but that's not what you see driving on the turnpike or anywhere near Newark / Trenton / JC etc..
