Teams record since Eriksson returned?  Team was awful on PK without him, he really does excel at that side of the game.. Not $6M good, but I'll give him the respect he deserves.  Thought he was dangerous a couple times last game, and was good tonight too.

@-AJ- I thought Loui was good too. Myers takes dumb penalties, has the occasional bad turnover, but he adds bite that we sorely need on our roster imo

all of those guys are working hard and paying the price for it. 

Weird choice IMO. Petey was fourth for me this year after Markstrom, Miller, and Hughes (in that order). Not to say he had a bad year, but we had three other outstanding players.

In my mind, Markstrom should finish top 5 in Vezina voting this year.

That is a tough vote, just like how I see the Cyclone Taylor voting going down (whether they have it officially or not).  Each of Miller/ Hughes/ Pete/ Marky bring a needed component but none can do it all without the others either.    

my vote is miller

marky missed too many key games

(not his fault, i agree)

but miller played every game

and had to adjust to a new team.. which he did seamlessly.. mostly because he played his game and others adjusted to him

and i really really like ep.. .but miller did have to take so may face offs (which he did at an elite level) as petey is still lacking in that area

ep40 needed him more then the reverse

Media broken, my man.

@Squamfan you can criticize the practices of different cultures without it being necessarily racist.  People that are offended often conflate the two.  

As the saying goes "Just because you are offended,Doesn't mean you are Right".

Some people aren't satisfied with their lives so they sit in the basement at Moms house and Bitch on "Social Media".or is it "Not so Social Media".

@NewbieCanuckFan 

From a young age John was a tortured insecure lost man who was manipulated by Yoko when he became famous

Not long after they met, Yoko repeatedly used to stalk the gate outside John’s and Cynthia’s Kenwood estate, before eventually being invited in from the rain out of pity by Cynthia and her mother

Just after Johns murder, Yoko sent Julian a cheque for $1 (which he framed)

 He since sued her and got a settlement (Most likely not to bad mouth Yoko to keep receiving)

John Lennon said in his very last radio interview (just hours before he was shot and killed) that like most young men he was more involved with his career than with his child, and he said he regretted not spending enough time with Julian. He also said that he and Julian would have a relationship in the future but sadly they both were deprived of this.

I never lived his life and would not judge him myself

As far as him not being a nice person ?,

You are talking about what John was like when he was a psychologically messed up 21 year old guy, not the pro-feminist, nurturing house husband and father he remarkably became and walked away from the drugs and the music industry to "Watching the Wheels"

John was a man of peace...grown from a boy of violence...he grew and changed and he wanted to see the world do the same

I think he brought a lot of joy to Millions of people , (just in his music  alone), far more than most men have (and continues too) than he ever hurt in his life

How many people that judge him, can say they have reached that many people positively?

No-one is a saint, in death or in life and should refrain from judging someone else, especially if they were not affected - it is not like he was a murderer, he was murdered and used his powerful influence for World Peace, Women being a pro feminist, before it was popular and Minority Rights

I don’t believe John Lennon was some saint, some perfect role model, or the embodiment of peace and love. I believe he was a human with a good heart, but not without his flaws. In his words, he was a “violent man who [had] learned not to be violent”. He had the capacity to recognize and regret his flaws, and change for the better. He wasn’t a “bad” person, or a “good” person - nobody is. It’s far more nuanced than that. His path of change does not erase his violent past with his father etc, but it is still commendable. In my eyes, his reflection on his younger self’s behavior, along with his progress away from that redeems his character. I believe that if he wasn’t killed, he would have continued to prove himself to be a better person.

You might want to see where someone came from, how he rallied for causes, how he changed his life from what he knew as only a child to who he was as he died

With all that John went through and the pressures and how he transformed himself

He changed for the better, 

Why slander his name

I for one am glad there was a John Lennon

.

That is my opinion on speaking ill of this dead man,

Keep yours if you will

Agree. Very dark season, but the acting was great. Laura Linney was exceptional. So far it hasn't been renewed for Season 4. Fingers crossed.

@Curmudgeon If they end it like that, I would be very disappointed. 

I’ve been thinking of starting it so I’ll try and get around to it this weekend. 

sports re runs

so many i have been meaning to watch

Got a lot of archived games lying around on my PC.  Time to dip in.

Tyson Barrie is also a home town boy. @Dazzle

For the right price, I'm all for it.

Just no over-payment please.

2 different players. Each bring something totally different.

Barrie seems a bit redundant with Hughes....

Do you mean Nipsey Russell, the comedian?

Kobe did some bad stuff, but he sure has a lot of people who love him too.  It’s like he’s the OJ Simpson of this generation.  Loved and almost worshipped, but had another side to him that few really knew about.  

Attraction is super important when you first meet someone..... but it will never be enough to keep you invested in the relationship........

Watched a show recently... talked about the rocket needing enough fuel / jet fuel for the take off......

But that won't keep the rocket going just on its own.....  

Or something like that... i was a couple glasses of Shiraz in by that point.....

your mom must be 90. my sister is 88. 

i never grew out of my first childhood. 

Happy Birthday

Since time is on your side........INVEST!!!

Yup, too many sensitive kids ruining everything for everyone.

Me too, what happened to having an intellectual conversation and trying figuring out the best solution to a problem?  It seems like whenever someone is faced with an opposing opinion someone's default response is either "you're cancelled" or "OK Boomer".  Like c'mon man, don't you have some actual opinions, or some sort of substance to add to this issue/conversation?  People need to start becoming more critical and freethinkers then trying to fit in with the popular opinion.  

Good on you, for taking the lead with something so basic but often not done until it's too late.  It's a wonderful thing you've started.

It really shows how, on a larger scale, that stuff spreads.  That, by being kind and sharing love that others are inclined to follow.  Rather than all the negative stuff we tend to absorb on a daily basis.

I love this post.  I have learned to do the same with family ... having both parents with cancer at the same time taught me not to take anything for granted.  

Haha, along those lines my ex is very "straight"...uncomfortably so.  So the first time our daughter's b/f reached in to give him a hug it was sort of a "what are you doing, man??!" moment.  Now they hug every time we're all leaving an event.

Reading this is a great way to start the day, thank you.

  

i have love ones that i wish now that i had said i love you more often when they were alive. it can be tough. telling my son and grandson i love them, when they got older felt awkward and they seemed a little uncomfortable with it. i never say that to friends but if you and them feel comfortable, great.

you are wrong wellwood

that only applies to restricted free agents

how can nucks get credit in expansion for a player they have no control over

an ufa is a player they have no control over

go review the rules

@coastal.view https://www.espn.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/43125/rumblings-las-vegas-will-get-a-head-start-on-free-agency

It says, "Vegas organization will have a 48-hour window ahead of the expansion draft in June to speak with and sign any pending unrestricted or restricted free agents whom the 30 teams left unprotected for the expansion draft." "If any of the 30 teams loses a free agent to Vegas during this 48-hour window, it no longer can lose anyone in the expansion draft. In other words, that free agent lost counts as the one player lost in the expansion draft."

As proof Vegas took Deryk Engelland from Calgary in their expansion draft. He was a pending UFA that summer. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/deryk-engelland Calgary didn't lose anyone else. 

Seattle will have the same rules as Vegas.

i am wrong

not sure though why a team gets credit for a player it has no control over

thanks for the correction

but i believe an unsigned markstrom

does not count as a nuck goalie exposure for expansion purposes

they still have to expose a goalie

so if seattle does not sign an ufa markstrom

who would the nucks expose for that draft?

Bert got the biggest cheer of any player there last night. The standing O could have gone longer had they not cut it off. Gave me goosebumps honestly. So glad fans gave Bert a lot of love given what he went through here. 

Even Leivo goes down before Baertschi IMO, not to mention the other fringe guys

what about lui wwhat has he done

It would be an outrageous decision. Meanwhile Louis does sweet f-all for 6 million per.

Yep.  Being friends just makes things worse.  If you have a lot of mutual friends it's kind of unavoidable but otherwise I wouldn't want any form of contact.

Cut the cord completely.  Just say goodbye, and move on.  It’s going to be super hard, and totally heartbreaking, but it’s for the best.  

Hangout with your friends and family.  Cry on their shoulders if you need to.  But move on.  Your friends and family are supper important to your healing.  

You're a great person, and you are amazing.  Say that to yourself every time you see your face in the mirror.  

“Love Hurts” 

Its tough for me because like there wasn't even a problem in our relationship. Its just the circumstances surrounding it that is resulting in our separation. She just really needs someone who is in Vancouver rn due to some health issues that she is going through. I have no ill will towards her, because the heart needs and wants it wants. Maybe one day in the future we will be in a position where it makes sense.

Best move in Dubas history!?!

Leafs paying a hefty price on everybody

What I don't get is whether all of these moves are freeing up cap space for them for Marner...

Really though the same thing could have happened to Sinclair. It was a well taken PK - it was headed for the side netting which is exactly where you want to put it. The Swedish goalie made a great save.

@naslund.is.king

meh. The women's team has a ton of talent and should be a force for years to come. They brought a young team to the tournament. 

The mens team has a legitimate chance to qualify for the World Cup this cycle. For anyone in CONCACAF not named Mexico, that is as much as you can hope for. Guys like Davies, David, Atiba Hutchinson, Milan Borjan and Arfield are as good as you get in terms of quality in the region (mexico being the exception).

I agree with @ReggieBush on this one.  Sinclair is the leader of the team.  All the other players gain confidence and strength from her presence.  She’s on the field.  There is no conversation.  She walks over, picks up the ball, places it on the spit, and shoots it into the back of the net.  Those other players must have been shocked at Sinclair’s lack of leadership in this circumstance.

I bet our coach was equally shocked that his leader and star player didn’t grab the ball and go take the penalty.  I doubt it even crosses a coach’s mind that their star would defer like that.   

Who's surprised?  Honestly not surprised at all - look at who were dealing with.  

#MircaleOnGrass 

Makes me hope that Canada, UK, or France or any national team destroys the US in a game in the future. Just to see how they would feel. I bet the US media would be freak out.
