Jayson Megna would mesh well with McDavid too.

@ReggieBush Pulijarvi is in the minors - if he was 'ready' for a top 6 role he'd be in the NHL that is FACT - your comment is absurd - you say he is ready for  top 6 but then say well there are other players ahead of him - i cant believe you cant even see the ridiculousness in that comment

Is it really though? EDM has a plethora of top 6 wingers (Eberle, Maroon, Lucic, Leon, Pouliot).

I've hit the bottom of the pizza barrel.  Recently I've been known to adopt any dried out ugly overlooked warmer slice from Fresh Slice when I'm in a rush.  Horrible, until I dump the (super low fat/healthy?) creamy garlic sauce that's been placed in the direct sun in a metal tub of melted ice all over it and I can no longer distinguish what toppings are even on it.  Skip the toppings and give me crust with salmonella sauce on it as a matter of fact.  I have no shame or standards...last time, the dispenser was plugged but I still got some out of there and ate it.  I am a disgrace to fine dining humanity.  

I think I need a Steveston Pizza intervention....

pineapple on pizza is fine

just not every time

i think these boards

need a section with permanent threads

on pizza pie

it always attracts such a massive response

such a tragedy so much time and space is wasted on trump instead

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!!!

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.....

Thank god, Jay-Z don't associate with this guy no more.

Kanye was rocking it like 10 years ago, now he the biggest clown out here.

obviously there is some vagueness here

and we are assumed to fill in the missing thoughts to reach that he is saying

slavery was a choice "by those enslaved"

cuz it clearly was a choice made by the people choosing to enslave them

but for his statement to make any sense, it also must presume that the people were in fact free at the time they chose slavery

(how the heck was that possible historically)

just a weird non-sensical statement

Hey look @J-23sees a picture of a rapper and he defaults to ghetto speak!

@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

@johngould21 thats how him and I met I started posting music on his 'what are you listening to thread' , he seen where I was from , he rattled off a few names , I did the same ,we realized we had more than few mutual friends , i've also spent a few days with smithers joe last year in terrace when he had eye surgery , shakeys name was john , you could tell by talking with him he was a man that knew a lot of people , we did have a plan to get together but my trip south was a little late.  

@chon derrytime always gets in the way of everything it seems. Cheers!

@chon derry Thanks for the update.

Thanks @chon derry..I'll now sleep better

thats ok @Nuxfanabroad it takes me all day to do what I used to be able to do all day...…...

benning will stay.... im 95% sure

jb will have a legacy here no matter what

his drafting and recent acquisition of talented young players through trade will have long lasting effect

he likely drafted our future goalie

our future offense will be a credit to him

he is quite light on what he has done for the defense core..

i think that is what might get him in hot water

an unbalanced rebuild cannot work

look at the oiler dilemma

the d needed to be drafted and developed with demko

drafting now and developing means another 3 years of average hockey

or there will be some significant players on offense traded to get the necessary dmen

and that will make many on cdc quite unhappy

cuz you have to give up top line talent to get high end d talent (d just seem to be worth more overall)

the other 5% will make me cry

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...

I bet they woulda loved it. Hearing great things about your kid never comes too early.

Same with beer on a plane. It's never too early

Bo was on my flight to Toronto met him at the airport

That's cool, Bo looks a lot like his pops.

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?

honestly dont think it'd be smart to take on EK, were still a bit too go to be contenders also with all the young guns pay raises.

We're not a fringe playoff team right now, he's not gonna put us over the hump. Only blue chip I'd consider moving is Juolevi, our first would likely have to be involved and it'd be lottery protected. And that'd only be palatable with an extension in place.

It depends on what GM Francesco Aquilini wants. And he may want to put bums in seats and screw the future.

As for why in the hell Karlsson would want to go to a non-playoff team when he's stated he wants to go to a team where he has a shot at the Cup...well why would GM Aquaman let that detail get in the way?

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.

I'd rather have the Canucks trio. 100%. Toronto ain't getting any love from me.

Don't buy this media/league construct.."Oooh, you were SO close!" lol..like a hs girl pr*ck teaser, back when one's an insanely horned-up teen!

You win or you don't..they can **** off with their trolling narratives.

@DontMessMe That's what Phil Kessel says on the daily. 

It definitely sucks, but I'm also tired of FIFA using the prestige of the World Cup as leverage to lobby for practically anything they want. No event should be important enough to give a supposedly non-profit sports governing body that kind of power.

If you don't care about FIFA corruption, that's fine, but I expect the organization responsible for acting in the best interests of the world's most popular sport to be held to a higher standard. If it takes a few cities saying no to hosting, so be it.

@ReggieBush

We can't know that Vancouver would've gotten a QF. It's a joint bid with the US and Mexico. With that many larger cities and bigger soccer hubs than Vancouver even if we got 3 games, they're probably prelims or early rounds. Canada would get 10 games in this arrangement to be split among Van, Edm, Tor, and Mon, if we'd said yes. I'd imagine Toronto would get a QF and that would probably be the only QF played in Canada.

Besides, if the North American bid loses to Morroco, can't they bid again for 2030 and maybe BC will say 'yes' then. 

@Where's Wellwood We would have got a QF. We have the best stadium of the 3, it was practically a given

Agreed on Freddie Mercury but I'd take Ella Fitzgerald over Whitney.

i wasn't around in the 30's and 40's but i'ld have to say mario lanxa and kathryn grayson.

Vitas

Liked Ronaldo when he was with my favorite club United but ever since he left for Madrid, I'm starting to not like him as much as before but I love him still as a player. Really want him to come back to United one day. With Ramos, there was really no need for the act. They were in control of the match anyways

@JV77

@ReggieBush Ronaldo may dive but he didn't date no Kardashian 

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....

Nah, it was just one of those weird things you'd only see in a Yankees-Red Sox series. I enjoy watching them play each other, but don't necessarily like either of them.

My comment was more of the "I wonder what category that falls under?" variety.

Go Red Sox  

Go Yankees!!!! 

I just placed my order as well. 1 Hawaiian with feta and 1 extra pep and cheese. Habanero sauce is in the fridge.

While all of you ordered some trash pizza, i made a beautiful capicolo pizza with mushrooms, artichoke, olives and a little provolone. Get outta here with your pineapple on pizza

Everybody who likes Mushrooms on pizza is dead to me.

I could see them wanting something around Virtanen or Stecher I don't think the Canucks would do that. I think they are more interested in Evander Kane.

Heard an expert on the radio, forgot the guy's name, saying Kreider is one of those players valued a lot more by fans outside of the city he plays in than at home.  He's overrated.  I like the Baer + a second offer proposed by @Odd.  Any more is an overpayment for an overrated player.

These Evander Kane rumors have got to stop. How many science experiments do we need ??

Don't like him whatsoever. I dislike him quite a bit actually... but no doubt he'll be in the hall of fame. Too many accomplishments and he's still only 29.

Hossa's skin allergy has spread to Toews' hands. Sleeps with his hockey gloves on to stop scratchin'..tragic tale, they may have to dump his cap(Eegads no!)

I'd say he probably will get there. Enough Cups and great defensive play long with good offensive production.

let's see who has played more playoff games after this season is done ?\

@-AJ- But #1's play every playoff game

@ReggieBush Ah yes, my mistake there, I misread. Still, that's more of a measure of team success than individual player success I suppose. There were a couple of years when I'd argue Schneider was a top 5 goaltender in the league.
