Pettersson uncertain about future with Canucks ( article)
zapperman replied to cuporbust's topic in Canucks Talk
I am so tired of the NHL dog days of summer where media and fans make stories out of nothing. Bo - signed Sept 8 (or so) 2017 Brock - signed Sept 16 2019 EP40 - has obviously been coached by his agent on what hot button words/ phrases to avoid. There is nothing in his interview that is inflammatory. As much as we would love him state how much he loves it here and how he never wants to leave Vancouver, his agent would be maybe just a little annoyed. I’m sure he will be saying those things next month. I must be getting old/ impatient with media and their stories, as well as shocked at what some fans read into it. Could also be my mood at reading some of the really dumb/ uninformed opinions people have about Vaccination. At least there’s hope that at least 70% of the population has some common sense. -
I’m responding to this post but really it is in response to all the posts with this narrative. I think what many with this thought process truly fail to comprehend is, try telling a group of 20 or so professionals to just “wait one more year” in a career that spans 5-10 years. Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to wait and waste a year as a player. All else aside, we are a much better team than we were 2 hours ago. I think the players will appreciate that. I like this house cleaning trade a lot and am stoked already. And who knows what else is going to transpire. Things are looking great

“Fraser Blue”? I have a feeling these designers don’t cross the Port Mann much. “Mocha Mavericks” would fit a little better. In any case, being in the Wack I am excited to get out to many of their games this year. Love this relocation.

I’m really starting to get an unhealthy hatred of McDavid. Nothing to do with how good he is. Just how he plays dirty and gets away with it. And knows no one will really challenge him because of who he is. And refs let it happen. I’m not religious but am praying he gets several punches to the face by one of our guys. I will buy that players jersey.

This is one of the best posts I have read recently. Sonofa… I am still chuckling about it. Made my day.

Same boat. Unlike others mine was pretty smooth. Registered April 6, got my text this morning (8:20) that I could book. Went online and there were tons of spots available today. Got it at 12:15. Pfizer. I’m 53.

[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers l May 3, 7 p.m. l SNP
zapperman replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
As great as McD is, I am extremely tired of watching how much $&!# he gets away with. Sure wish we had someone that would step into him. -
Lots of good reasons to sign him if we can. Other than what’s already been stated: Anchoring - sign him, the gesture gives him an NHL paycheque and is a solid move to anchor him with the org Planning - in this cap world there are a ton of things to weigh. Seeing how he looks and may fit in the group will play a huge part in what we do in the offseason for trades, signings. Gotta know what we have before we commit for the future. - Fan engagement/ excitement. We all want to see him. We pay the bills. Nothing like being excited for the next season. That said I have a feeling we won’t be able to due to the worlds. I am hoping Russia passes on him.

Jesus Nucks. All I can say is I can relate. And I know the distraction part. As a huge Canucks fan and eternal optimist what I can say that isn’t deep, but something that maybe brings something to you and your mom - we are 10 points back on the oilers. We play them 5 more times. There is always hope. There is always something to look forward to. There is always something more meaningful. Live for the day. All the best to you.

Yep. And, going on IR in this case is retroactive and is a paper exercise/ requirement. Has to be on for a minimum of 7 days. You wouldn’t want to put him on Day 1 in case he was ready to return Day 5 because he wouldn’t t be able to. Happens all the time. Sure will be nice to get him back though. Hopefully Motte is in soon. Really miss his passion, energy and hitting.

Investing in the stock market - Discussion
zapperman replied to AV's Coin's topic in Off-Topic General
I do but am very new to the game. I have 3 accounts there - a questwealth RRSP, a margin account and a TFSA. I am getting a pretty big merger payout in USD so needed the margin account as my holding area to convert funds with norberts, then to transfer to my limits to the TFSA and RRSP accounts. Will be a couple months yet so just trying to soak up some of the excellent info in this thread in the meantime. Looking forward to (hopefully) watching it grow. Can’t say too much about the platform yet. The mobile site/ app can be a little slow but I really have nothing to compare it to. -
NHL season to start Jan. 13 with 56-game season
zapperman replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Going crazy ... I hear ya. I’m already there and unfortunately only had enough for a one way ticket... Can’t wait for some hockey again and am counting down the days until the Juniors. Sure hope they can pull it off with no major issues.
