I'm guessing -295°C is what you Alaskans call Thursday, amirite?

Not when it's impossible to get to. At least, in this universe.

So literal.
So what is the coldest temp. recorded? Looks pretty damn cold in those sci fi flicks when people get cut adrift from their space vessels.
You know I'm going to have to look that up now. Can't say this place never taught me anything.
Kind of an abstract idea, tho. If we haven't taken the temp of everything in the universe how can we empirically know?

I'm thinking this was a little poke at my beloved Maple Laffs, I mean Leafs?

Why is the Hockey Hall Of Fame in Toronto?
It's the only way Leafs fans get to see the Stanley Cup.

Not the longest Cup drought but they're getting close!

BTW . . . I'm showing my age but I watched their last cup victory on B&W TV.

I'm actually an equal opportunity hockey fan. I grew up in Montreal but spent most of my life in Ontario. Habs will always have a soft spot for me but when they play head to head i root for the underdog. Just can't help chirping, it's in our blood. Well, that and maple syrup.

These days, The Habs are the underdog.

Let's be honest, they both are.
Considering they're a young team and have the leagues best goalie they do alright. Give them a year or two then we'll see some improvements. Gotta love Max Domi, talk about a pitbull, like father like son.
Bruins are holding their own. Can't beat that first line. I have a soft spot for Chara, btw. Nothing beats him tossing players around like rag dolls.

<<<<< win, win. Boston/Montreal.

Girls talking hockey.
