  1. No. Neely went on for 10 more yrs with 3- 50+ goal seasons in his last yr he had 26 G. Equaling BPs best season with the nux. As well BP fizzled within 5 yrs
  2. The production line. Plus he got the players union started.
  3. Or the tootoo incedent which ended up being investigated albeit nothing happened other than willie desjardens telling him to tone it down. Tootoo wanted to end the incedent on the ice at the time and burrows refused and ended up going with Dorsett.(chicken $hit) And it’s not like burrows never made accusations himself about being treated unfairly. Loved the guy but he crossed the line a few times.
  4. The golden jet was good but always second fiddle to gordie.
  5. This issue should somehow be addressed but the bigger issues with society whether it’s USA or Canada or anywhere factoring all the rest of the issues in no particular Order because there’s a blind eye to it all. addiction and all it’s sub categories ( stigmatized,homelessness ,exclusion ,health cost etc) racism, police violence on and on an on. This issue well important falls to # 3 or 4 for me.
  6. They’ve all got a drinking problem….
  7. 25 yrs ago this twerp wouldn’t even thought about saying what ever he said simply because he would have lost his ability to eat corn on the cob. Just Another big tough guy in the modern day NHL
  8. Being the analytic person that I am. I tried to recall my feelings about my first encounter with racism and the questions I was left with. My encounters were when I was young. After it happened I thought well how can I change that.? I couldn’t have. There was nothing I could do. So I thought about a hypothetical situation where a homophobe was approached by a gay person. The gay person says to the protester , ok I give up I’ll join your ranks. What would the homophobes response be? I’m pretty sure the block headed individual wouldn’t change his stance. Or offer up foregiveness he’ll always be what he is. reaching out to certain segments of society isn’t going tip the needle. In fact it might perpetuate more hatred from the fringe. Opposition to racism ,sexism, homophobia isn’t going to go away. The parallels between racism and homophobia are similar. And my personal observations of the one (racism) has improved … somewhat. But there’s still a very long way to go. For all of it.
  9. Rudolphs? He must be Ronalds Kenins cousin.
  10. I live in a small town on the north coast. I also know a few gay people of both sex’s there’s also a few trans gender , that I don’t know. The one particular gay person I grew up with , I also played minor hockey with. I have no problem with his/ their choice and what goes on in their bedroom and respect that in the same way as the young couple next doors right to privacy. None of my business. Do I understand the attraction, no. But but I respect it. Also in this same small community these individuals do stand out. And there is some distain or opposition but it’s low key for fear of reprisal and mostly from religious elders. Our pride parade is incorporated with the annual seafest weekend celebration/parade. We also have the pride foot bridge in the waterfront tourist shopping area.prince rupert started the rainbow theme around 15 years ago and it’s spread all the way to Prince George. Being half native in a community that’s very culturally diverse. And very tolerant I’m just proud to be Canadian as I think compared to looking at the states and the maga portion of the Republican Party we as a country are way ahead of the rhetoric down there. We live in a polarized world. Much more than ever. There’s room for everybody.
  11. The question would be best posed to an older more experience gay or trans person. In the past they had to live in the shadows. And the movement is about coming out. In a figurative sense. A movement towards “we are who we are” and that society accept the fact without pushing shame. Whilst at the same time having pride in who you are ( colour, race, sexuality, religion etc) and society to moving towards acceptance without repercussions . PRIDE. If it works for one it should work for all.
  12. Just in case you don’t get theirs you can have mine
  13. There was an accusation of misdiagnosis. While he was here. I don’t know if later it was clarified. But his dad was making waves. I actually thought before all that. He had some upside potential.
  14. Do u remember hodgsons back issues? And how his dad did the Eric lindros dad thing his accusation was canucks medical staff misdiagnosed him. Sound familiar? Thought about that when the Pearson thing surfaced. Yes boho hired a female power skater in ont.
  15. You might hate my comparison only. Because he wasn’t very well received. Cody hodgson……..somewhat…..ish.
  16. Sorry having a police moment. I’ll get over it.
  17. If there’s a hole in the line up and with possibly more going down wouldn’t players fr. The big club fill the gaps?
