  1. Some nice comments from Craig in the Podz at the end of this video.. hockey is back! another quote I found to put a smile on ya; Button on the Russian article criticizing Podkolzin 2 weeks ago: "Its lots of people that want to weigh in about Vasily Podkolzin, and again: experts without expertise. Let me just tell you this about the KHL. You know, the KHL is a slower, less intense league. Players like Vasili Podkolzin? The older players don't like 'em. You know why? Because they wanna play hard, and they wanna compete, and they wanna play at a high intensity and a high pace. They don't want - that's not how it's played in the KHL; it's played slow, and a lower intensity. The players want it nice and easy. That's why all these higher scoring players, that've been in the KHL for all these years? You know, NHL teams forever and a day keep bringing 'em over. They're no good! Because they can't compete and they can't play at the pace. And so Vasili Podkolzin, who (the critic say) doesn't have all that flash and dash? Go ahead. You know what? Be critics and everything, tell Rick (Dhaliwal) they can phone me. I'll stand up to them and tell 'em they don't know what they're talking about. This kid is going to contribute to the Vancouver Canucks and help them win. You've heard me say it, he's like Jere Lehtinen to me. all the good players wanna play with Vasili Podkolzin. Players that don't wanna really compete, don't wanna dig in, don't wanna play fast, they're the ones that's like, 'come on kid, just back off a little bit, give me a break.' If he can't play I'm just getting out of the business." Button's take in his channel:
  2. What a fluff headline, what is he supposed to say ? I highly doubt they come home before 2021 I sure hope this is not soon forgotten in our future interactions with them.
  3. Well he does live in Ontario iirc.... always knew he was a snake
  4. I am okay with the union environment... not many places offer a pension plan anymore like the MPP
  5. Funny I was just reading the CUPE oath the other day as I am a new full-time member and the first thing I noticed was how it only mentioned brother & sisters I assume every union, including the NHLPA, has something similiar. I can't freaking wait for the season to start before you know it there will be a CDC game watching event at the Rog Sportsbar
  6. some fun matches to look forward to.. Man City looks to have the only 'easy' draw Neymar vs Messi
  7. I feel a bit bad for saying it, but hang em up Ferland and save your health while you can. Or there could be plans for LE and SB too if we send them to the minors not sure if we save enough. Adding a veteran depth for reinforcement on defense will be huge
  8. okay this is pretty funny, what a brilliant way to break up with someone
  9. One of the most hypocritical headlines I have ever seen China urges U.S. to stop abusing state power to crack down on foreign firms (msn.com) China urges U.S. to stop abusing state power to crack down on foreign firms
  10. The extreme ends demand attention... case in point harrassing / forcing Holtby's wife off twitter (if true) so the reasonable people have to attempt to respond so that sanity can prevail For example CTV is saying he was being criticized... criticized by whom ? most people will just see the headline and assume he was in the wrong, but he shouldn't have had to apologize for anything really. social media is a cess pool and the mainstream media seems to play off of it.
  11. Ah yes I almost forgot about that.... still awaiting the new SFU team name.. A Scottish clan (from Gaelic clann, literally 'children', more broadly 'kindred') is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members, and in modern times have an official structure recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. The "Clan" name, shortened from the original "Clansmen," was intended as a nod to the Scottish heritage of fur trader and explorer Simon Fraser, for whom the university is named. The title has often been misinterpreted as a reference to the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan. "For student athletes and fans, you should be able to represent your school with pride and honour," Othniel Spence, a former captain of the men's basketball team, previously told CBC News. "Instead, the emotions that come [from] the name is more of shame and embarrassment." Even though the SFU team name was Clan, Spence said, many American athletes and fans heard Klan.
  12. Thanks tips.... haha seemed relevant to a few posts here. I am still hopeful for a Jan 13th start! Pfizer Canada head says governments, not NHL, top priority for coronavirus vaccines (msn.com) Pfizer Canada head says governments, not NHL, top priority for coronavirus vaccines
  13. fight of the year candidate.... reminds me of joanna vs weili
  14. social media is such a clown show. I heard there was some controversy about it but didn't look at the mask until just now. its seems fine. the outrage culture is really too much these days and it's sad how jerky the mob mentality on social media can be. i am sure holtby will do the classy move now and do some sort of a collaboration but its all so forced
  15. The elbows were vicious. properly used the can be the most dangerous weapon out there. he was dazed for a while after the fight. Holland just called out Khamzat too haha good move
  16. ... WOW on that last fight.... Holland is for real
  17. Time for JDS to hang em up. Happy for Cub though. I thought he was going to lose for sure and then he turned it up and knocked out Pineda.. great fight for a 37 year old off acl surgery
  18. Taxes will have to go up, from my view, there is no other way to climb out of the massive deficits. Middle class and up will be paying more for sure, how much more and in what form is to be determined... money doesn't grow on trees. A looming Debt crisis is real.
  19. I totally forgot about the Seattle Kraken ! Patches is good but the price probably too high no thanks.
  20. It is based on income level so the people that don't qualify, based on 2019 income levles, are well over the threshold of likely needing additional support (ie: over 87K for individual of 175K for family) I think this is more a blanket support measure rather than targeting specific groups. everyone is hurting.
  21. B.C. Education Minister asks teachers to trust province’s COVID-19 response - The Globe and Mail B.C. Education Minister asks teachers to trust province’s COVID-19 response Maybe the Christmas break will give those that are responsible for the school plan to reconfigure something that appeases the public... I am determine to stay optimistic about 2021
  22. The virus is certainly real... it's origin is the conspiracy. Still pisses me off how little accountability is being forced upon China for this mess.
  23. Some of the thought might have to do with the fact that the wealthiest people only got wealthier throughout 2020 but of course correlation does not equal causation
  24. Good thing he is locked into his contract
  25. Who cares if he has "wasted millions" - that is his problem - he brings good value to the team for what his contract is worth and that is all we can ask for. I am not going to fantasize over if he was worth a $5M per season contract. My only gripe on JV is his engagement and consistency. hopefully he is rounding the bend and increases his value.
