Damn I forget how good he was.
If you haven't seen this, you might find it good value. I saw it a while back and I'm not sure what it's from coz it seems to be an extract from a longer doco. It has some weird editing at the start and finish. But I liked it a lot back then and watched it again this morning when I read the news.

George Pell surprised to discover Heaven so damn hot!
george-pell-hell-620x379.jpg

George Pell has arrived in the afterlife to find it a little hotter and flamier than he expected. The cardinal said he had expected to be overawed by his first day in the afterlife, but hadn’t anticipated the large rivers of lava at the entrance.

A shocked Pell said he had been looking forward to meeting St Peter at the gates of heaven but was surprised to find a man with a pitchfork and horns instead.

“Must be fancy dress day or something. Or maybe it’s just St Peter’s day off, I’m sure we’ll catch up tomorrow,” Pell said, wiping sweat from his brow as a cauldron of lava was tipped in front of him.

Asking if he could be directed up to his exclusive cardinal afterlife suite, Pell was confused when he was instead escorted down a long set of stairs through a dark tunnel.

“This is a little different than what I expected,” Pell explained as he was shown to his cell. “And what’s Adolf doing here?”
 
Vancouver Canucks fan favourite, Wayne ‘Gino’ Odjick, dies at 52
One of the most popular players to ever suit up for the Vancouver Canucks has died.

Wayne “Gino” Odjick, who played 12 seasons in the NHL for the Canucks, New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens, died Sunday at the age of 52. Gino’s sister, Dina Odjick, shared the news on Facebook of his passing.

“Our hearts are broken. My brother Gino Odjick has left us for the spirit world,” she wrote.

Odjick spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Canucks after being selected in the 1990 entry draft, but was traded to the New York Islanders for Jason Strudwick in March 1998.

In 2014, Odjick has diagnosed with Amyloidosis, a disease he says attacked his organs and his heart.

The former enforcer had 64 goals and 73 assists in 605 NHL games. Odjick was a key member of the 1994 Canucks Stanley Cup finalist team, playing 10 games in the playoffs for the team that lost a physical seven-game series to the New York Rangers. Odjick also did a lot of community work.

He holds a Canucks team record of 2,127 penalty minutes, the most in franchise history.

The Canucks issued a statement Sunday saying, in part, “He inspired many and embodied what it meant to be a Canuck.”


~This guy was probably the most beloved Canuck ever.
Tough enforcer and there was just something about him we all liked. He was all heart, and then some.

It wont mean much to you guys, but it's a massive loss for us.
