    FYI: Canada game times are incorrect on the front page article

    The Wednesday game is at 7 o'clock, the Friday is 6 o'clock... not the reverse as is listed in the front page article. I had a mild heart attack thinking I had my schedule screwed up for the games, haha. Not a huge deal but I'm sure others may be confused!

    Mods, feel free to move/delete this post as necessary, but I figured people would want to see this and not have it get lost in the main Canada thread considering it has to do with a front page article.

    I believe the times are reversed when they get translated across the border.

    Is that like the cinder block issue when going from country to country?

    Similar...the times in Canada are in metric. It might also have to do with the equator. Kinda like the thing with the direction the water goes down the sink.

    To our Canadian Devils, are there any places to eat near the arena on Wed and Fri night?
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    I'm not a Canadian Devil, but I'll venture a guess...Yes!

    Be sure you try something like this:

    I live in Toronto but I only go to Mississauga to go to the airport, so I'm not going to be much help. There is a large mall about 6 km away (a ten minute drive) that will have the usual fast food options I'm sure. I'm told there other options in that area, but nothing specific. https://shopsquareone.com/

    The only restaurant I've actually been to in Mississauga is also in that area, an Italian place called Ristorante Alioli http://www.alioli.com/ which was pretty good.

    Especially since it on the other side of the equator.😂

    Trying to drum up business again, I see. (Of course, that is a solid recommendation, especially when in Quebec.)

    Played in a pickleball tournament today against a couple of Canadians. They had major back-ups crossing the border this morning. We speculated that there must be heightened military tensions.


    Thus, I extrapolate that the reversed start times is a part of a misinformation campaign preluding military conflict.



    Wonder how dem Canadians will feel when we ship a 271 lb weapon of mass destruction named Zion -full of hostile intentions - across the border?

    We have deployed our army at the border. If you see four men grinning, say hi. They are doing the best that they can with limited resources.

    Growing up imoutaide Detroit we’d get a couple radio stations with Canadian ads. Every time we heard one for the Canadian Armed Forces my Dad and I would joke, “I guess they need someone new to drive their one truck.” Said by a proud Canadian, haha.

    Also, it looks like hey haven’t corrected the sub-headline yet, but the story about the games this week has a sub-headline that says “Even without Jones and Barrett...”. WHAT?! Thankfully, Barrett is healthy. The sub-headline should say “Even without Jones and Reddish...”. The text has it right, but that subhead gave me a real scare. The Duke injury curse is real, but 2 top players out is enough. We don’t need 3 out!

    with the venues widely being listed wrong, why not go with incorrect times and rosters?

    Happy to report, NSDukeFan, that your people are meeting with my people in Vermont (Stowe, right around the corner from Womble Acres) right now.
    Annual get together of New England governors and Eastern Canadian premiers, always a good time, though the last few years they've been burdened with
    trying to tamp down some of the trade tomfoolery none of them wants any part of...most successful border in the world, period.
