  1. As someone pointed out about a certain male appendage, "It's not the size of the sword, it's the flurry of the onslaught! "
  2. "Once a King, always a King, but once a K(night) is enough!" Don't really what this has to do with price of rice in China, but it is the only quote I know that has the word "Knight" in it!
  3. According to the law of "trending to the mean" it is our turn to get the bounces.
  4. Well spotted. But let's think outside the box (or the trapezoid). The net might be empty, but Vegas had maybe NOT pulled their goal tender. Send in your scenarios for this to occur.
  5. I can't believe how well Vegas uses their sticks, not for anything illegal, but for knocking down passes, getting the puck of off the opposition's stick, coming from behind and disrupting things, etc...
  6. Doesn't Leivo bring the same, or better, game to the ice that Rouselle does. Except, not give up so many stupid penalties?
  7. Should us "elders" say that the Opiod crisis only affects people under 40, so that we should not help them, or care for them?
  8. Remember, in the regular season , if the Canucks play a back-to-back game on the road, they are not playing the same team. So they have to travel over night and maybe play a rested team that is at home. If they had a tough game, that may have gone into overtime in their first game, the team they play against on the second game won't have had that. So, one thing about these play-offs back to back, is that it is even for both teams.
  9. One thing that a lot of Canadians might not know is that, in the USA, the school funding is done district by district. So, if your district is in a poor area, then you may get less money per student (sometimes by far), than the white richer district only a few blocks or miles away. In BC, we try to even it out a bit more, so the level of teaching, curriculum, and equipment is more even.
  10. That's what they do in rugby. Then they another ref on the video decisions.
  11. It is okay now. Official Friday afternoon drinking time is Pi O'Clock (3.14 PM). Crack 'er open!
  12. I worked for 13 years in a school that was all self-paced, in all courses for all students. We had up to to 1400 students taking 8 courses each all self-paced. It worked! But it took about 3 or 4 years to get to where we wanted to be. There was very little online courses. Most courses were reading to get the information. I did 110 Math videos under "minkusbc" to help out, but primarily it was reading with lectures involved as well. It is possible. But it will not happen easily right away. So much depends on how self-motivated the learner is.
  13. Watching this team reminds me of that great line from the movie, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". They kept looking back at the posse chasing them and saying "Who are those guys anyway?". I thought those guys were out of it last night when they were down 3-1. Almost turned it off, but like the posse, they just kept coming and coming.
  14. We should also put Boeser on the power play along the left boards, mirror image to Petey on the right boards. Horvat and Miller moving in and out in high slot and down low. Where has Boeser's great slap shot gone?
  15. Hey, think positive, as in, "I'm positive the ref is going to screw with us again!"
  16. Off the back boards, into the top of the net, slapped out of the air 18 inches above the ice, into the corner pocket!
  17. Not sure who Auger is, but the picture shows the recovery of the body of Agurs on Feb 1, 1927 after a snowslide wiped out his cabin back of Grouse Mountain. My Dad, who was 17 at the time, sits in the middle front.
  18. It has always bothered me when refs "put the whistle away", especially on a blatant foul. I remember a World Cup Rugby Final that went into a ten minute overtime. Both teams scored on a penalty kick (then one won it with a drop goal). But they still did call penalties in the overtime of a World Cup game, they didn't put their whistles away!
