Who knows what the Russians are cooking up just for him, the he way plays how has he never been seriously injured 

He already is for me too, what he's accomplished in the new NHL is amazing. Players are all in better shape, better trained, ect than ever before and he still dominates year after year.

its even more impressive because he's probably actually 37. 

Langley has a transit system?

Langley transit:

should have bought a BMW

@DADDYROCK

Ohlund is about the closest.  Might've had a chance at one if he didn't injure one of his eyes.

Still, the Crazy Viking with one guy *WAS* elite defensively in his prime.  You could match him up against *ANY* power forward and he'd come out at least even.

Ohlund was definitely the closest. He's the most well rounded D we've ever had imo. Followed by maybe Salo. Mitchell was just as solid defensively and was physical and tough but lacked the offense. Salo had the offensive poise, defensive game but didn't usually play physical and wasn't tough in the pugilistic sense. You could throw Ohlund out in any situation against anyone and they'd have their hands full.

Weird thing about Mitchell was he WAS pretty respectable offensively prior to be drafted.  Course, he went thru the New Jersey system and turned into a high-end defensive player. 

Too bad Salo couldn't stay healthy as I agree he was a solid two-way D.  Course, if he could stay healthy, I doubt the Sens would've dealt him (for Schaefer [sp?] I think).

One of the few Pat Quinn almost major blunders (re: Ohlund).  Played real hardball with him in his 1st contract with the Canucks (though I don't know ownership forced his hands into not spending money).  Lowballed so much, the Laffs actually gave him an offer sheet (back when 'the old boys network' made his an extremely rare move to take but they were so enticed to getting a possible high end prospect for nothing but cash).  Good thing Quinn matched the offer sheet, and as they say...the rest is history.

Ah, seems it's not an update, but glitches with the normal Canucks theme, hence the default theme. 

It's a very impressive start considering quality of competition and low expectations. I'm taking it and loving it!

if this team is mostly healthy and within 1 or 2 games of the last wildcard spot by the all star break I'd consider that a major success for the rebuild.

The wheels will probably come off down the stretch as teams push harder for the playoffs but you can see Benning and Green are building something good here. 

I'm just enjoying it in the moment. Look at LA Kings fan, they're already calling it a season.

what kind of music? and what do you play?

@112 Maybe we're long lost twins.

@CRAZY_4_NAZZY These days all I play is the piano. I usually play contemporary music, like Coldplay.

"I had you figured for a mid 20's dude easy based on the [general] maturity of you posts.  "

heh, trust *ME* Green Building, I am older than 12.  Do I get a discount at the Mustang ranch if I show them my high school ID?

Never hurts to ask, what's the worst that could happen?

BCIT is a great school. What are you studying there, @J-23?

You are not to write 1 word about Elias Pettersson.

Brad Marchand article....already been an film about his life:

When I was on vacation in Vietnam I woke up with Soundgarden in my head only to head into a craft beer place in Saigon to a Soundgarden marathon, all the whike thinking "whoa, what are the odds? This is great!" Then I learned why they were playing so much Chris Cornell music.  

As an aside, I credit Anthony Bourdain with inspiring my trip to Vietnam. Damn, do I ever miss Parts Unknown. Such a terrific show.

I know that feels.

Creative accounting....it's only stealing if you get caught.

Language is fascinating. Does thought mirror language or does language mirror thought?

You must work with me because I'm waiting for the day where my co workers aren't being incompetent buffoons

I'm looking forward to the day where my job doesn't make me feel like a buffoon #bigfishsmallpond

Takes about 2 months.

Pizza

Beer

Do it!

I'm pretty sure you can get a tax reduction on your first pizza there, now that lucky mentions it.

you better keep your pants, just in case you have to move back home.   

and then blows by in the next 72 hours

-AJ- was the real life inspiration for the main lead in the "Drew Carey Show":

im the same lmao. when you know youre sick and need to call in sick you play scenarios in your head like, ok im not going to let boss intimidate me and go in, and then boss talks you in to going in anyways and youre like oh come on XD

@-AJ-Don't let fear control your life 

AJ, I hear ya. Sometimes it's our own work ethic, sometimes it's the pressure to impress your boss. But health comes first. Last year I went to work with a fever because someone on my team was on vacation and I needed to be at the office. Got on the train feeling crappy and within 2 stops next thing I remember was looking up at people. I basically blacked out. Was escorted off the train and went back home.  

Here's the thing. The business will still be there running with or without you so take care of yourself first.

@Baer.

It's also worth noting that Boeser's numbers are in three less games and he has more assists...Kovalchuk had 98 points and 52 goals twice. #100pointsforBoeser

A neat comparable, but don't neglect the fact that Kovalchuk was about 2 years younger his rookie season

When I moved out for the first time it didn't hit me till bed time.  I wouldn't describe it as fear, but it was surreal nonetheless.  

Are you living with anyone else?  That can help with feeling bored, human contact is nice.  Good luck and enjoy it!

Congrats on the move out!

Thanks everyone! I'll be living on my own in Langley, about a 30 minute drive from home, so not too far away. Work will be much closer, which will be super nice.

I'm in, lets do it!

Did you try this?   Always seems to work for me:

I thought Rob Zepp lit up a cigarette everytime first?

Me?  I wash my hands right afterwards (there's a reason why my nickname is Solo).

Same here, I have insomnia so I often struggle to sleep. I envy those who can just nap or fall asleep whenever.

how old is stealth? if he is 20, then cdc is 20 years old.

"how old is stealth? if he is 20, then cdc is 20 years old." - I'm guessing Joe Smithers has underwear older than that (I know I do).

I just realized this is year 10 for me o.o

But probably not in all-time dives? 

Hang on tight buddy! That feeling of relief after will be great

Ahhhh I remember my good old University days.  No four hour exam but three two hour exams in 24 hours.  Stayed awake (was like a walking zombie) for several days studying for exams by drinking vast quantities of "Jolt Cola" .  Fell asleep for umpteen hours after finishing the last exam.....

It's over! It went alright. Glad to get it done. Thanks for the support, guys.

Definitely PDT in the summer, PST in the winter.

So no calls at 1:42 AM EDT? 

So I can sleep in. excellent :D
