NucksinNorway

Wow! I mean I don’t post often but in 2007 when I moved from Vancouver to Norway this was the best way to still feel connected with the fan base. Truly disappointing! It’s hard being the only Canuck supporter in the city I live in, let alone one of the few NHL fans here. It has always been my main source of news both for the Canucks and the nhl. I’ve enjoyed the characters on these boards, and truly appreciated @Vintage Canuck ‘s tireless updates.

Luke Schemm MVP. A perfectly executed plan!

Who?

Kevin Bieksa says that he was set to sign a one day contract in 2020 before covid came. Says it was his Dad’s idea. Hopes to still make it happen. ps I suck at inserting actual articles so I just hyperlinked it…

You very well may be right. I think one of the main things with them coming back is to bring back class and the proper culture (of course along with their smarts)

Did he really ever have flashes of brilliance? I mean he had some good games but I wouldn't mention brilliant and Virtanen in the same sentence. If he had just kept his game simple and utilized his tools he would have been a good supporting player for us. Unfortunately he's been immature both on and off the ice. Buh-bye.

I get that. I just don't like it. Especially when it's glorified by people saying we need more personality in the game. Drugs and alcohol do not represent a good image for the game. He sounded like an arrogant wasted prick because of being of being under the influence of whatever substance he was. Imagine he was able to articulate his meaning without being wasted. Might have had a greater effect. Edit: same reason I get why trump was voted in. Doesn't make it right. But that's a whole other can of worms that I maybe shouldn't have opened

ok sweetheart. You're one of those.

What I'm asking is, would he conduct the same interview sober? People are asking for personality... But is a drunk person personality... From what I've read, you like your booze. As do I. Whisky especially. But it doesn't mean I want idiots doing interviews. Society should have a little class. I generally dislike people. He makes it easier.

Really. Do you know me? Do you think it's good for kids to see their role models in such a state? To me he came across as a loser. I've seen many like him in my days and people like that are not good people. I don't give a f#@k how much you make or who you are. He came across in that interview as obnoxious and a slob. Not my type of person.

OK then...

I've heard myself.. It's not pretty

So what did you like about the interview. What he said, or that he was drunk/high? Edit: and he was more than just tipsy. He could barely even talk.

I'm not arguing that. What I'm saying is I agree the nhl needs more personality, I just didn't realize drunk was a personality trait. It annoys me that the advocates for his interview don't see this. Would he have said all those things sober? Probably not. Bring on someone that has the balls to say those things sober. I'm all for that. A drunken/high player is not a good image

There is a difference between parties and public profiles doing interviews.

Personality sure, but if you need alcohol ++ to let your personality shine through there's a problem. Let him say all these things in a sober, coherent manner. There's a problem with society when this is acceptable.

Pretty sure he was pointing to his family that was in attendance... But we can pretend

This makes me incredibly happy.

I just randomly came upon your post. I've actually been to a flyers game. My brother lives in Kirkcaldy. A few years after I we t to the game I was at work here in Norway (I run a sportsbar/restaurant) when a few guys came in to watch hockey. We started talking, and it came to be that they played for the flyers. Small world.

Less than half of a parking ticket here in Norway... (relatively speaking)

Really? Wow. Gives even more of an upper hand to the betting sites.

So I got 1 of 3 last night. Carter Verhaeghe scored in the 1st so no money this time. What about tonight? What's people's thoughts?

Why wouldn't they be legal? It's not much different then other bets. I'm just not sure it's offered on the differe t bedding sites available in Canada.

I don't mind playing small bets here and there. I thought this could be a way to get people discussing and maybe help each other out

I can start with tonight's game. Detroit at Florida: Carter Verhaeghe has 4 goals in 5 games. Detroit is 25th in goals against... Could be Jonathan Huberdeau. He has 6 first period goals this season (leads Florida) however Florida is in the middle of the pack when it comes to scoring in the 1st period. (for referance Ottawa is by far the worst) Washington vs rangers Both ovi and Zibanejad are hot Although Washington scores most of their goals in the second Columbus vs tampa Yan gourde has scored 4 in 5. Tampa scores a fair amount in the first (36 goals) while they surrender little (20) So my temporary picks for the day would be: Carter Verhaeghe Zibanejad Gourde Odds of this are about 600 to 1
