  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    Got my second dose of Pfizer today, thus far no side effects!

    It was great when I went to the grocery store.
    Instead of scanning my savings card, they just scanned my forehead and all the information was there.

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

    First dose in the books, felt like I’d been waiting forever for this day to come..

     

    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.

  5. 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.

    Just got here, my mom passed earlier today and I decided I could use the distraction of checking in

    please tell me they’re winning ?? 

    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.

    Literally happens all the time on every team. Teams tend to try and not leak too much information on injuries.

    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.

    Any one here use Questrade? 

    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.

    I'm damn stoked.  Won't complain about any of it.....hockey will be back and it's just in time to save me from going crazy.

    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.
