@swedehandshoggy And now he's a Cub 😢

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy Oh man, that must have been back when I worked there 😂 ... I remember staff used to get offered $5 tickets to shows and games! Could you imagine that?!

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy May have been the most fun game of the tourney! Was like a beer league game 😂

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy All of us after that game (or when he got subbed off) 😢

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy Fucckkkk, I’m like senior citizen OV or Ronaldo. 😭

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

What an atmosphere at BC Place #Vancouver today! Took in my second FIFA World Cup match of the tourney with great friends & had an absolute blast. Well done to everyone involved in the games here & a special shoutout to the Colombian fans for creating such an incredible vibe! ⚽️

Sad day for local media with the closures of @Sportsnet650 and @NewsRadioVAN.

I’ve met so many talented people who got their start or were still doing great work at both stations. I hope everyone impacted lands on their feet. Too much talent to lose overnight.

@adamforsythe You’re lucky the statute of limitations has ended 😋

@swedehandshoggy Wait, you’re a dragon too?!! 🤯 #BFFs

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy He’s Colombian for the day!! … since you know, … USA choke job 😋

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy My favourite moment of the World Cup so far 🤣🤣🤣

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy Bahahaha noooo but Layne is going to that!!

Im going to Kaleo (Icelandic rock band) at the Queen E.

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@swedehandshoggy Still should be a fun atmosphere! … since no one got back to me on time, I’m watching at home hahaha. 🤷‍♂️ … got a concert to go to tonight anyways so not the worst decision.

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@Clowner30 They drew in the same crowd as Abby Canucks (3900 avg fans). No one said WHL draws 10k. But hey, who am I to argue with a loyal dedicated fan with no evidence other than “trust me bro” to back him up. Google is your friend pal. Enjoy the games at the LEC & future games in Surrey.

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

Finally official! Great news all around. This will allow the @WHLGiants to host events like the World Juniors and the Memorial Cup now. Also should attracted new fans with an easier transit commute.

@swedehandshoggy Right?! Never thought I’d see the day he’d be back hahaha between this and the news being official (so I can talk about it now haha) of the Giants moving to Surrey, it’s been quite the news day.

[Ryan Bains @ryan_bains]

@JamesCybulski Not a completely crazy idea with the Abbotsford Arena agreement ending in 2031 but would Canucks ownership want to share a facility? Probably not.
