  1. Since when are dolphins considered whales? 

    From what I've always gathered whales, dolphins, and porpoises fell under the Order Cetacea, but there was always a distinct difference between whales (blue, fin, sperm, right, humpback) and dolphins (orca, bottlenose, etc). 

    Just looked online and now most sources state that they're one in the same. 

     

    What happened? And who the (expletive deleted) changed it?

      @PhillipBlunt International Astronomical Union has three planet criteria:

       

      • The object must be in orbit around the Sun.
      • The object must be massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity. More specifically, its own gravity should pull it into a shape defined by hydrostatic equilibrium.
      • It must have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.

       

      Because Pluto fails the third condition they downgraded it.

       

      I call it a Classic Planet, because it was a Planet up until August 2006. Like Classic Coke!

      I don't get it. Is Boeser a dolphin or a whale?

  2. Who is getting traded next? Hopefully quite a few players.

      If miller and boeser go for youth with upside  potential. That provides me with far more hope than standing pat with the current make up. GCG.

      In addition to moving Boeser or Myers, I'm hoping we can utilize Mikheyev and Pearson by placing them on LTIR. We'd have a little over $10m to take an expiring cap dump from a team looking to upgrade at the deadline. Calgary's sitting just outside WC2, so, say they have interest in a rental like Tarasenko, Kane or Klingberg... what could we get in return for taking on Lucic to give them the space to improve?

  3. Rest in peace, Jeff Beck.

      Whoa.. You're kidding, PB. Was just listening to Blow by Blow about a wk back. Also was watching a Utube documentary on his life, during the holidays.

       

      Man, the big names are really starting to check out, it would appear. Thought some of these 60's legends would live 'til they're 150!

  9. Anyone in the CDC universe know where one can take their Marshall amplifier to get repairs done?
     

    Vancouver seems to have no places to get a guitar amplifier repaired anymore.

      Did a quick google search for you and found this one place called Exile on Main St. that seemed to be good, but I'll give you a link to others and maybe just give them a call and see if they can help.

       

      Just scroll down to see the results in link

      Try Commercial Electronics @ 604-669-5525

      or  The Sound Room @ 604-736-7771

       

      These guys sell and repair, or they used to, home stereo equip.

      Even If they don't do it, they should know who will.

       

      Last idea is contacting Aaron Anderson  @ Sound Hounds in Victoria

      250-595 4434

      https://www.soundhounds.com/pages/contact

       

      He is simply the best tech I've had work on my stuff. From speakers to turntables, building crossovers, and on and on.

  12. I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no, uh, conscience, no understanding and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six year old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply evil

      @SILLY GOOSE Definitely watch the original Halloween made in 1978. It's probably one of the best horror films from a cinematic standpoint. It's a real slowburn when it comes to the scares, but totally worth it.

      This would be a great add.. the Knights laughed at us in the Vegas series and made Roussel look like a clown lol. 

       

      Martin and Big Mac would be a good 1-2 intimidation punch especially when they make an all Canadian division and things get heated. 

       

      now im trying to remember if i was talking $&!# about him during the whole Stecher incident haha.

    Too many players have expressed reservations about it.

      Been saying that for weeks.

       

      Too big a risk right now for the player and their families.... not going to happen. 

    3. kingofsurrey

      kingofsurrey

      NHL won't run next season as TV revenue are not enough without fans in the rinks.... to pay the salaries.

      So next season is toast as well.

       

      Such a screwed up time right now..

    4. SilentSam

      SilentSam

      I think we should remain optimistic for next season,.  Perhaps a shorter version of 62-67 games as in years past.

       

      Percentages on a basis with a sliding scale will keep the game alive and give ground to the norms.

      But the time is now to plan for different scenarios and then pick the best out of the opportunity that we arrive to.

      The PA and NHL should be meeting over this and how revenues and contracts will coordinate with all options of plans.

      Pragmatism should prevail.. this is where good leaders shine,.  And others flail like a fish out of water.
      Hockey is a game of smarts.. let that flow from the ice and into open books to calculate the plays needed to keep this industry alive with everything else.

       

       

  17. Hello CDC guitarists,

     

    Anyone know where one can find a channel footswitch for a Marshall JCM 900? The one that came with the amplifier finally went kaput. Looked at Long and McQuade and Tom Lee. No luck. Jeff Bezos is currently out of stock. 

  18. If Benning stands pat and does nothing today, that's perfectly fine.

    1. goalie13

      I'm even OK if he sells a player, just no buying.

    2. JM_

      he already got the best face off guy in the league for a 1st. The Miller deal looks even better with todays prices. 

       

      One move I'd really like to see is Benn for TOs 2nd rounder. 

    3. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      I would like to see him improve the back end (within reason) 

  19. I certainly hope Benning is going to inquire about Zack Bogosian. He'd be a solid (cheap) option to pick up. He possesses size, mobility, a solid shot, and the propensity for violence at times.

     

    Would be an upgrade on Benn, Stecher, and Fantenberg, especially heading into the playoffs.

      @Tystick He’s a free agent as of tomorrow. Buffalo put him on termination waivers. 

    4. Trebreh

      Trebreh

      If we can trade Benn for a late pick on Monday, he could be an upgrade imo. 

       

      Benn was brought it to be a physical defenceman but he hardly use his size out there. 

       

      Bogosian is bigger, meaner, and a little bit better skater. as long as it's under a mil or under he's worth the pickup as depth.

      Rather see Celine. 

  21. Hopefully Benning is looking hard at acquiring Brenden Dillon. The defense could stand to be a little harder to play against, and Dillon would fill that role nicely.

      J-23

      Could use a tough guy like that, Benning should have resigned Schenn to a 1 year deal rather than signing some other guys :ph34r:. Good 7th dman who can come in and play physical.

       

      Go after Dumba, hasn't been a great season, maybe get him for cheap. Minny would prob want picks and/or prospects tho

    4. luckylager

      luckylager

      Dumba's gonna cost a lot if they're even willing to move him. 

      Guaranteed minny wants a 1st+ prospect + nhler.

       

      Would be like 1st, Madden, Stech IMO, and Stech might not be enough.

      since you left yourself wide open

      a poll is in order

      so who thinks phil

      has become wiser (by less then 1 year by his own admission) according to the following scale of choices:

       

      a)  his wisdom has improved by 9 months

      b)  his wisdom has improved by 6 months

      c)  his wisdom has improved by 3 months

      d) hell no, text book case of stunning regression

       

      i'm leaning towards d) phil

      and i mean that as a compliment

      :bigblush:
