      My username is a combination of my first name and old nickname from my 

      playing and coaching days (various sports). Dogs and cats are both good pets,

      @naslund.is.king This status update isn't the place to have an in depth discussion on Trump.  That's what the thread is for.  All we'll end up doing is causing the notification bell to pop up when everybody else logs in.

  3. Canucks fired their DJ recently, and their new DJ last night played a remix of the Bruins goal song, as well as the Blackhawks goal song Chelsea Dagger right after the 50/50 was announced. :picard:

      @Baer. Or maybe well adjusted folks get over something that was commonplace nearly a decade ago? Neither the Canucks nor the Blackhawks resemble much of what they were during that period of time. Hawks still have a handful of the same guys, but they are far from the same team.

  4. Would Burrows hoisting the cup with Montreal ease the pain of 2011 at all for you?

      No. I'm still 100% bitter about 2011. Not THAT we lost, but HOW we lost. I'm cheering for Montreal but the sting of 2011 will haunt me forever.

    3. Pears

      That would be one good thing to come out of this season but until we win ourselves, that pain won’t be gone. It’s eased a little sure but it’s still there. 

    4. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      Not Burrows in particular, but rather if the underdog Islanders or Canadiens could pull off upsets that'd be something exciting (it'd wreck my hockey pool for sure, but what the hey, I like a good underdog story OR an exciting final e.g. Vegas/ TB).

      In short I stopped caring :lol:.

      Fair enough. I'm pretty sure their burger patties are pre-cooked and then heated up again to be served, but I could be wrong. I stick to the Southwest Chorizo hash if it's earlier in the day or the candied salmon spinach salad if it's later. I've never gone wrong.

  7. this Canucks season I will wear whatever jersey the Canucks are wearing each game. for example if they are using their road jerseys then I will wear my Canucks road jersey. If they are wearing their new alternate then I will wear my new alternate. I don't regularly wear jerseys while watching the game at home but that will be my promise for this season.

      Having been to Rogers Arena several times over the last three years, the seats really are old and in need of replacing.

      This is great news. The current seats aren't awful, but they aren't the best.

       

      Aquilini and Co continue to spare no expense when it comes to operations. Looking forward to sitting in new, better seating.

      King Heffy

      Matthews makes his linemates better and has a better compete level.  McDavid thinks he's too good to backcheck.

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      Marner might be better player than both.  Drives play.  Goes to dirty areas, plays hard without the puck.  

      Marner 71 points and plus 19

      McDavid 85 points and minus 5

       

      When McDavid decides to play as hard without the puck as he does with it, then he will be the best.  His points for will go down, his plus will go up, and his team will win more than they lose.  

    4. Roberts

      Toronto media probably makes Marner sound/look a lot better than he is

      If Jim had taken Glass like many wanted those same people would today be calling for his head for passing on Petterson. Funny how that works.

      hughs is in school already

      and is likely training and practicing with his team there

      does not make much sense for him to come all the way up here

      for a very minor tourney

      when he has to pay his own way

      and miss out on school and his school team stuff

      Yeah my kidneys failed. I’m working on getting a transplant. Just got to shed a few more lbs. So I have a much better chance of surviving. I have it better than most. I knew so many good people with the same illness pass away, including a former VPD officer. Imagine being a 7 foot tall cop serving your community, losing your legs to flesh eating disease, failing kidneys and then heart failure. All the while the man was still upbeat and positive and running a charity with his loving wife. A brave man and an incredibly strong woman. I don’t mean to go on a rant, but I admired him very much and it’s tragic. He was too good for this world I suppose.
