  1. I knew Virtanen got suspended so looked it up. That was the 2015/16 season. Gudbranson was the most recent in 2017-2018.
  2. It gets worse, the ancient Romans didn't even have something to represent it. White culture back then went as far to deny its very existence!
  3. Lol, my wife just noticed the advertisements on the boards and asked where the game was. Heh, there is no doubt what country viewership drives the ad revenue at the WJC.
  4. Lemon is a great track. Not a typical U2 track so doesn't get the love it deserves.
  5. If anyone was hoping to trade Brandon Sutter for anything significant, the value that Frolik returned should put a wet blanket on those expectations.
  6. Yeah, those 50% will just pass it off because the pacific is the "worst division in the NHL". If the Canucks went 16-0 in the playoffs I'm sure some would still find fault.
  7. I would like to see a switch to the 3 point regulation win, then 2 and 1 for ot win/ot loss The record book is already compromised with the loser point anyway, so might as well make all games worth the same amount of points.
  8. I think you nailed it actually. Main difference between the 20s and now is the globalization of markets, the incredibly vast expansion of credit/debt, and digitizing money/markets. We can move money into the next bubble with blinding speed. It'll be interesting to see how long this shell game can last. A lot of economist are baffled too.
  9. I think societal values on gambling have changed. To me it's a harbinger of a society desperately trying to get rich the easiest way they can. Personally, I do not bet more than I'm willing to spend on a nights worth of entertainment (ie a night at the movies). Did the online poker thing for about a year (actually made about $500 playing small stakes), but cut that off as I found it made me irritable when I lost. I'm in a hockey pool every year with a group of friends but the entry fee for that is a paltry $40. Well worth the entertainment I get for cheering on the guys on my team. I would never bet on a single game or any of those prop bets. To me, the entertainment value is not worth the price of losing. Set foot in a casino once when I had a couple hours to kill, saw a Texas Hold'em/Black jack style game but noticed the minimum price per hand was like $10 so turned around and walked out. Never set foot in a casino again figuring $20 wouldn't last long and that's all I'm willing to lose at a casino.
  10. Me too. In our defense, we're not exactly experiencing "seize the day" kinda weather right now. Very meh
  11. We won't see him back in the NHL is my guess #RobidasIlsand2.0 #noescapeforcanucksever
  12. We saw with the Vegas expansion draft teams doing more harm than good trying to make side deals to protect other players. Best not to overthink the expansion draft, the Canucks are going to lose a player no matter what. Why make that multiple players/assets? Seattle is not going to take a deal that would result in them getting worse value.
  13. I'll take you what, that's some Dave Pratt math right there
  14. Rather Loui be the 14th forward than someone who has more developing to do. But yeah, imo he's 15th in pecking order for forwards. IF there is ever 100% health, he could face waivers. Highly unlikely that'll happen though.
  15. Edler is the voodoo doll of this team. When Edler is at the top of his game, the team is at the top of its game. When Edler is injured or playing just so-so, the team struggles.
  16. Lol, I know, December 2018 called, they want their rumours back.
  17. I know Bo Horvat's +/- is bad but I wonder how much of that is scewed by all the empty net goals he's been on for.
  18. How about Auilini troll Tom Gaglardi again and hire Montgomery?
  19. Chris Tanev slides into 83rd in all-time Canuck scoring with his assist tonight. 82. Sven Baertschi LW 225 58 52 110 83. Chris Tanev D 479 21 86 107 84. Mikael Samuelsson RW 155 49 57 106
  20. I don't know why and I don't know how but I'm gonna go and blame this one on Rougned Odor.
