Tonight?

I’m on holidays. 
I’m kinda happy I’m missing a day, thinking it’s already Wednesday and game day. Bittersweet, I guess. 

Guess I need to figure out what to do tonight.

Nothing ruins your Friday more than realizing it's Tuesday.

The argument between the “have fun and get your participation trophy” crowd and the “win and get your trophy” crowd has derailed this thread haha. Hopefully we can get this back on track. Also, participation trophies are garbage. What a terrible thing to teach children. It doesn’t matter how hard you work or what you accomplish. If you just show up people will award you. Jobs, degrees, raises, its all free! This is what’s lead to the entitled snowflakes we have today. Ok end rants. As far as the Canucks go. Huge 4 point game. Must be win. Expecting a good showing from the boys on home ice!

Excellent post imo!!

Toffoli should absolutely be with Pearson and Horvat. Right now that line is pretty ineffective 5 on 5.

 

Loading up one line just makes us easier to defend. Gotta spread out the scoring. Miller and Pettersson are good enough to throw any winger with. Bo and Pearson need help.

Not to mention Virtanen looked great with Miller and Petey.  Seems like a  no brainers to at least test it out.

You ever see a boomer be told they arent allowed to return something?

After that line scored 2 goals against Columbus you are going to split them up? This team is struggling on defense and struggling on offense.. not sure why everyone wants to split the top line just for the sake of splitting.. they are literally the only line that have any even strength goals of late since Boston even if theres a few bad games in between.

I think this is actually pretty good.  Ideally I would switch Toffoli and Virtanen, but otherwise it's as good as we are going to get.  The scary part is the line combos for D which are missing.

I totally agree man. I don't even know why Green doesn't try a line combo that used to work in the past. I understand he wants to try different lines just in case injuries happen now and in the playoffs (when we hopefully get in) but right now, we need to make the playoffs first and should use lines that should guarantee success.

Pretty sure we are fumbling the ball 

or quit playing because they thought they had the game won

[Jaimito]

Since Marky injury Demko is 1-2 on the road. Time to start winning at home

Yes that too

 

Oilers are pulling away

 

now we have to fight for a wildcard and everyone else is winning now 

 

Marky picked a bad time to expose our crap coaching

Is that your “out of ‘papers’ face” too?

[Pete M]

so the last 3 losses Horvat is -7 (Ottawa -3, Toronto -1 and Columbus -3), he needs to be better....a lot better. His  back checking has been brutal.

 

The Captain needs to play sound defense first for this team to have a chance to win.

Honestly, I wish bidets were the social norm in Canada.

When we get the bathroom renovated, I'm totally putting in a bidet and a water fountain, just to &^@# with people.

 

Back on topic -

 

Mary J Blige and half an apple pie.

 

 

Edit - I assumed Riff was talking about rolling papers, not $&!# tickets. Oh well.

I guess I volcano my bong on occasion...

I might end up thinking your bidet WAS a water fountain and try to drink out of it.

Funny you mention that. Boomers raised Gen X and maybe the first wave of millenials.

My folks were boomers and I can honestly say they never had a bull$&!# entitled attitude towards life. Yes  they were full blown hippies, but they sure AF worked their asses off and were as honest as the day is long.

 

They taught us nothing worth having comes easy.

Life is not fair, in fact it's cruel.

If you want something you have to work for it.

Don't speak out of turn.

Respect your elders.

And don't buy $&!# you don't need, because then you'll want to return it and look like a &^@#ing a**hole.

Don't whine.

Wait your turn.

Dont be a dick because there is always someone willing to punch you in the face.

There's always somebody tougher than you, so mind your manners.

 

The biggest problem I have with boomers is they just keep &^@#ing working. Retire already. Give up your cushy old person job so the rest of us can move up.

Boomers also love all the other generations.  They're working cuz they're paying for the care of their elderly parents at the same time as paying for the education of their children.  

Thanks for saying what needs to be said.  Boomers are a tremendous generation of people who care for others and the planet.  Their biggest hope is  that the  generations following learn to care for each other.
