Question to the people in other markets. Can you buy Raps gear in local stores? In pics of other Jurassic parks there’s like two people in the crowd with the gear on. If only the shops close by had time to stock up.
Can you see local retailers stocking up heavily now and see at least kids buying it up? |
My Dad gave me a Raptors hat and a Canadian flag golf ball this winter. He's trolling me. No idea where he got it but I assume here.

Jesus Christ. So the parade is on Monday going up University and my office is on University and King. But I have an appt. in the middle of the day at home.
I would have walked the route and then gone up to the meeting room and snapped some pics and rejoin. Had tonnes of fun following TFC's parade, but I'm gonna miss out this time. If only Nick Nurse didn't call that boneheaded timeout last game we could have had the parade today. Still happy though. |
Congratulations to Toronto for a great victory!
From one championship basketball city (Moncton Magic) to another (Toronto Raptors), good work and a job well done. :tup: There was a viewing party at the Avenir Centre here last night. They had the game on the jumbotron. My youngest son went, but I have no idea how well it was attended. I was in bed when he got home. He wore his Raptors jersey. I got it for him way back in the Vince Carter era when it reached down to his ankles. It barely fits him now, but it has been a good luck charm all through this playoff run. Almost every time he wears it, the Raptors win.......... :) |

Is it because of basketball though? I noticed traffic was lighter than usual this morning and a few of my coworkers are not working today, but it has more to do with the combination of today being a Friday and the progressive shift to a summer schedule.

^ No doubt it's because of basketball in Toronto, but here in Ottawa it probably just part of the reason. But I have no doubt some people called in sick today because of the game even here.

Ottawa Fridays in the summer? Public servants have taken it off because they can. The only day of the week where everyone actually works here is Wednesdays. Between Parliament being out and university being done summers in Ottawa are deeeadddd. Still, plenty of my friends here in Ottawa were also out late because of basketball. It just compounds what is normally a pretty slow day anyway. Any excuse for a three day weekend. |
Even the fucking Avalon Mall was busy last night :haha: That's crazy.

Though given all the hype I am pretty sure a majority of the men here and a chunk of the women watched at least some of the game last night. |
