Mike Comrie is a little bitch
Money can’t buy you a spot in the NHL, but it sure doesn’t hurt your chances.
nobody beats the BRICK
Tim Horton founded Tim Hortons
I see someone wasn’t around during the early 2000’s when his brother was a moderate deal and the oilers tried to claw back his performance bonus….
They broke into our house and stole our furniture in Edmonton in like 1987 when only me and my sister were home. She was like 12 and I was 4. They busted up our walls and everything. And then they tried to fight my dad in court over it. My dad hated the Comries and Brick
Comrie family are douches
TIL Eric Comrie and Mike Comrie are related
Yeah but back then kids could also discover that they had a knack for hockey as teens and make it in the NHL naturally.
Right now, the NHL is basically purebreds that have been in hockey since birth and come from very wealthy families.
Apples to oranges man, hard work won’t take you to the highest level of success, but it will still pay off a bit.
Not that it matters, but his cousin was a friend of a friend. The one time I met him, he joined us for a long hike and brought a 6-pack of beer.
edit: I didn’t read carefully. It was Mike Comrie’s cousin (Eric’s relative too, I suppose) and it was the cousin I met, not Mike.
The worst of the worst furniture stores with the slimiest salespeople. And that’s saying something considering how bad furniture stores in general are.
