  1. Is this on a manifesto somewhere? I can’t say I’ve ever interpreted the LGBTQ community’s message this way. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water here.
  2. The fact that it's a political debate just illustrates where the LGBTQ community really stands within our society and the importance of having pride events.
  3. Not all opinions are equal in value or equally deserving of protection. Some opinions, like believing LGBTQ+ folks are not deserving of the same rights as straight/cis-het folks, are just wrong. These opinions should be treated as such and ultimately dismissed.
  4. The guy wasn't much of a player but definitely one of the more unique characters I've seen in my time as a Canuck fan
  5. Bieksa told a story on Spittin’ Chiclets about how Hordichuk used to meet random people on the streets of Vancouver and offer to give them a tour, including stops by the homes of Canucks, in exchange for cash. He’d actually come by and knock on the door, trying to introduce his teammates to these random people. One day Roberto got a little pissed off about it (I think he’d been woken from a nap). Hordichuk’s response was something like “it’s tough living on league minimum”
  6. This is the key here. I can only assume that Mercer would literally run through the boards for a loose puck, as it’s the Newfie way.
  7. I think most people here understand that the actual offer New Jersey would make in this hypothetical is likely different than what Quinn’s worth. It’s hard to imagine a player of his age, position, and caliber being traded while locked up longer term on a very efficient AAV. Considering those factors, if I were GMPA it’s going to take Nemec, Mercer, Holtz, and an unprotected first rounder before I consider the trade. I still think it’s arguably not enough for Quinn and I’m fairly confident New Jersey wouldn’t want to pay this much. They can both be true.
  8. You'd think he'd learn a little humility after what's gone on with his North American career over the last couple years. What a clown. Good riddance.
  9. I think Hordy's guided tours business has slowed right down since Luongo sold his place. He's 36, to be fair.
  10. Did he say he was going to step away from CDC or am I misremembering that? I seem to remember him saying he was finding himself spending too much time on here and/or getting a little more argumentative than he'd like.
  11. They burn a year off to get closer to free agency but they also get their entire signing bonus rather than a prorated amount like their salary. I know there’s always been some wink, wink, nudge, nudge with the NCAA (to an extent) and now they’ve got their NIL deals (not that it really matters with hockey) but I imagine a six digit number in the bank account looks pretty dam good to a kid fresh out of college.
  12. Some of the first to come to mind have already been mentioned here (making the team, getting the C, goal against STL in the bubble, etc) but there's one that always comes to mind for me. I'll always remember the 2015 playoff series against Calgary where the team got outplayed for the most part but Bo was great. That was his coming out party and the first time I thought they might really have themselves a player in Bo. The other one that stands out for me is that first time we saw Bo be fast. Anyone else remember that? I think it might've been against the Sharks. He carried the puck down the wing and just burned the D man wide before beating the goalie. I remember I had to rewind to watch it a couple more times. I couldn't believe it was Bo doing that.
  13. I can't believe nobody's mentioned Romo's man crush on Josh Allen. He can't help but talk about how incredible he thinks Allen is, even when he's not playing well, "It was an absolutely perfect ball. Maybe overthrown just a little." when the replay shows it was clearly overthrown. Stuff like that. I find Allen a phenomenal and unique talent, but Romo hugs nuts like no other.
  14. He had already cleared waivers when they acquired him. Waivers became necessary again after he stayed on the NHL roster for 30 days.
  15. I saw @thedestroyerofworlds point out the bit about the danger of the job but I thought I’d also point out that they’re really not underpaid. They’re paid quite well as a matter of fact. Virtually all first class VPD constables are making at least $120k per year, many of which are making >$150K and many more are making >$175K with the overtime they get. And the overtime is gravy- it’s working Canucks games, not the Rodney King riots. This is for a group of people that by any large don’t have the skills or education to land a job other than policing that would pay them anywhere close to what they get as cops.
  16. I don’t think he’d “quit” on the players like that but I wouldn’t blame him.
  17. Bruce speaking in the past tense saying “gonna miss it” sucks to hear.
  18. Proud of our fanbase for the “Bruce there it is” chants tonight
  19. Yeah there's some OK matchups (LAC/JAC, TB/DAL has potential, BAL/CIN probably would've been decent with a healthy Lamar) but they're definitely not as good as the pre-expansion format.
  20. I think it also has to do with the NFL expanding the number of Wild Card teams. I could be wrong on that though.
  21. From what I’ve read Thompson still has minor league options while Fernandez doesn’t. Hopefully Fernandez can end up reassigned to Buffalo. That velocity is tantalizing.
  22. After watching the Jays these last couple years I’d never argue against trying to improve the bullpen.
