I.Am.Ironman

So you are human?!

Based on my research the cooked bone is more harmful than raw bone because raw bone is softer and easier for the stomach acid to break down. Cooked bone also fractures into sharper pieces. But like you say I imagine the stomach acid can still break some of it down to the point where the pieces are less sharp/harmful.

Well, it looks like we are in the clear. It has been a very normal day in all aspects. She went for a run and shows no signs of a blocked or distressed digestive tract. Certainly a relief and was a learning experience.

Still so far so good. We will see how the BMs go today but there has been zero sign of anything abnormal.

I gave her some scraps of meat off the bone. I was holding the bone thinking she would nibble at the meat scraps. But the silly dog chomped the end of the bone right off. I didn't think she'd be able to bite through it. For now she seems 100% normal so hopefully just a false alarm.

If I'm Toronto management I try to trade AM at the draft. I believe both he and Marner have NMCs that kick in July 1. One has to assume that he won't re-sign. The decision is for them to either make one last run next year or get some assets for him now before his NMC kicks in. It's too tough a sell to trade him at the TDL from a PR perspective and they are unlikely to get high picks from a contender. The most value would be extracted at the draft imo.

It's certainly a convenient result but I doubt it's rigged. It's overseen by Ernst and Young. The crime is that Chicago even has a high pick. But you guys/gals are dreaming if you think Bedard isn't reporting...He's gone.

I don't know why but I laughed at someone who is allergic to mushrooms being given the mushroom burger. You obviously sent it back?

you'd be overpaying

@chon derry you're right but butterbean would still leave gaps in a hockey net. The degree of obesity needed to take up the whole net is obscene.

That person would lack the cardio required to make the repeated small movements required to cover the small gaps in the net. They also couldn't stay up on skates for long enough, so no playing the puck etc. Anyone big enough to actually fill the net would be too medically unstable to play. I'm sure there are minimum fitness requirement for insurance and liability purposes.

But.. I am Ironman?

Probably around 1.75 or so? They are paid in USD so they can take home 1M CAD somewhat easily. A lot of these guys have corporations so they can control how much taxable income they get paid per year. I presume that even after retirement, their corp can continue to pay them salary.

No. That's too much and for too long for what he brings. Love Schenn, but he isn't someone you overpay at this stage in his career; he will be 34 next season. I would go 1 year deals from here on out.

This is precisely why it was wise to be the first mover. If we would have waited until TDL to try to squeeze the best deal (maybe) the Isles would no longer be in the mix. Hopefully Bo can lead them to 13th!

1st? No. 2nd? It depends on the assets.

Trudeau was tagged a few times in rd one but his strategy paid off and he took over in the next 2 rounds.

It makes the most sense to just ride out the Myers deal. We need someone to play RHD anyways. We don't have 6 defencemen better than him anyway.

It was brutal. 2011 vibes. Life hurts as a Bengals and Canucks fan.

Most would want their top 3 pick to have an NHL impact within 2-3 years. D+3 is a long time and a big risk for a team to take on with a high pick. All that matters to the Canucks is who is projected to be available at #5

Congrats. Regulatory exams are a grind

@sonoman I searched for the thread for that exact reason. I want to talk about *him* throwing ketchup against the wall!

Likely cost us a cup imo

Quail's Gate Winery is a premier dining experience. I haven't eaten at Mission Hill but apparently that is good as well.

Wouldn't you want a pre-workout 'jolt'?
