Should we make this thread 2016 and start a new one for 2017? Just a thought, as it would make a valuable (if macabre) archive.

Likely not. Even Canadians wait until after the game to drink Blue in the locker room. And ferealz, Blue is the official beer of hockey. Like, you get stinkeye if you bring anything else. FSM help the dingleberry who brings Coors or Bud.

Yes, Alan Thicke (RIP) was the father of Robin Thicke. From “Blurred Lines” to “flat lines.”
