Out In Left Field / Re: 2024 NHL Playoffs
« Last post by mellongraig on Today at 12:19:36 AM »
The Game 7 curse strikes again for the Leafs... and for the fourth time against the Bruins. Now we'll have to see if any changes will occur from the Leafs management, coaching, and players during the offseason. Sheldon Keefe's job might be on the line now and maybe a coaching change after this result could be for the better for this team. We'll have to wait and see.

Nonetheless, since the second round is starting on Sunday, May 5, here are the series matchups so far and there will be a guaranteed Canadian team in the Western Conference Final:

Eastern Conference:
(A1) Florida Panthers vs. Boston Bruins (A2)
(M1) New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes (M2)

Western Conference:
(P1) Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers (P2)

The other Western Conference semi-final series will be determined after the Vegas Golden Knights-Dallas Stars series in which it has gone the distance.

The TALK Is Right / Re: Drew vows to stay as host until he dies

You're still ahead of me. I hadn't quite turned 10 when Bob's last show aired, though I was 10 and a quarter when Drew's first show aired. Now, I'm a couple months from 27, so yeah, it is scary to think some of us were still kids when Bob retired and now we're pushing 30.


As one who saw the very first episode back on Labor Day 1972, on a black and white TV set nevertheless, I would be giving almost anything to be "pushing 30" :)

Indeed time is a remarkable thing.  And I too am pleased that Drew seems very committed to remaining with the show as long as he possibly can.

Once upon a time 65 was considered "retirement age".  Later this month (May 2024) Drew will be turning 66.

Even after 17 years the shows seem fresher somehow.  Not to imply that things were stale toward Mr. Barker's final years, as the show was still fresh to some degree, but the show now is far fresher, especially in their new home.

If Drew somehow manages to tie Pat Sajak with syndicated Wheel, Drew would have to make it to age 90 and still be hosting Price.  That may be a bit unreasonable to hope for but he certainly could make it well into his late 70s or early 80s.

No matter how old one is or was when the new era started, the fact that Drew is pretty much closing in on hosting for half as long as Bob hosted is pretty tremendous.  Especially when I remember back when Bob and company were surprised with the success and longevity of TPIR, well before the end of the 1980s.  And that was during an era where there were a lot of gameshows still on (network) television!

To think I was only 12 when Drew started!! More than half of my life has been with him as Price host!!

The first few seasons of Drew were pretty rough and once Roger and Co left. Drew found his groove. He looks like he's having fun hosting the show. I hope he stays in good health to host the show as long as possible.

Drew having 17 seasons under his bent and people in the beginning constantly nitpicking his hosting is a huge accomplishment.

On Finish Line, they could easily have the 3 grocery products picked as horse “A” & the 3 products left as horse “B” & have them race across until they run out of money & the further horse wins the race.

Given the move to a new studio, a larger audience again and Bob no longer with us, he may subconsciously feel this is "his" show now and his duty and obligation to carry it forward.  Which he is doing.
