      i say, why put off till tomorrow, what you can put off indefinetly? 

  2. I've recently developed a very strong affinity for the bands Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco. I cannot stop singing and buying their songs. This is very embarrassing to me.
  3. When a goalie gets pulled (either injury or poor play) how is it determined which goalie wins or loses the game? Is it whichever goalie is last in the net when the game ended? Is it based upon the number of minutes each one played? Aren't there some games where neither goalie is credited with the win/loss? ETA: I realized I phrased this kind of strangely. Imagine Jacob Markström started a game but got pulled and replaced by Nilsson. I'm asking how is it determined whether it was Marky or Nilly that won/loss that game for stat purposes.
  4. I just have a perpetual rain cloud hovering over my head each day.
  5. Ok so the San Jose Sharks just sent me a bag full of tshirts, replica jerseys and hats and I have no idea why. I never ordered this, the package just appeared :huh:

      I bet some friend or colleague(s) are trolling you. 

       

      I'm totally going to do that. I've got a few targets in mind.

      there are many parks and covered sidewalk areas

      all you need is a good tent

      or even a tarp it seems :bigblush:

      then you can live rent free

      Change of scenery is always a good thing, if it comes to living, new job or even meeting new friends.  

       

      Don't be afraid of expensive cities because chances are that you'll be able to make more money in those cities as well.  If you were to come to Vancouver, your job prospects would be pretty stellar.  

       

      What cities are you considering or do you just mainly want to get out of the one that you're in right now?

    4. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      I have been looking at Vegas (I actually really liked the suburbs just outside the city when I was there) or San Jose. San Jo is only ~2h from where I'm at now, so not a huge jump. My biggest fear with that region is the price.

  10. I just cracked a touch screen device for the first time in my life. I'm devastated.

      @Drive-By Body Pierce Yes it still works. My biggest issue is the little chips of glass that fall out of I swipe :-(

  11. I figured. Leads to my next question, why do some skaters use black tape? Doesn't that make it hard for them to see? Are the tape textures different?
  12. Do goalies ever use black tape on their sticks?
  13. I hate how crappy feelings can just sort of hit you. You can be going about your business doing relatively ok, then suddenly remember a comment someone made or an experience you had and it just ruins your mood. Sometimes it feels like every day is a struggle.
  14. Do you let your pets sleep on or in the bed with you? Why or why not?

      yes, 1) because we love them, and 2) cleanliness is a mythical cultural concept, if you got dogs, you dirty.

      I'm on salary, too, but my boss is usually pretty good at giving us a day off here and there to make up for the extra hours worked. 

  16. Anyone else see the Vanbase memorabilia pack on sale? I wonder if the blue Millionaires V will be the next third jersey.

      is there anywhere too get the black oldschool skate jerseys or hoodies?

      tbh I dont know - I've only used the vanbase site and the team store

      I was really confused since I'd never seen the blue V before. I wondered if they we hinting at something. 

  17. As I contemplate my singledom and anticipate reentering the dating scene I realize how important it is to me that my next bf be on the higher end of my "league". I want someone in a higher socioeconomic class, someone college educated (at least a Bachelor's, but preferably an advanced degree). I want to marry up. There's a part of me that feels like I should feel bad for wanting these things, but honestly at the end of the day I dont.
  18. I am genuinely surprised at how many people seem to like Antoine Roussel and feel he is an asset to this team.

      Two rulebooks means he'll draw the short straw. His antics would be just FINE if it were while playing for a US team

      This is a fanbase that has loved players like Lapierre, Burrows, Torres, Kesler, and Ruutuu. Those guys were far worse that Roussel.

    4. -AJ-

      I didn't like him to start, then started to like him, but am not a fan of his recent antics. He draws penalties which is great, but he's taking way too many minors right now as well. He reminds me of a young Burrows. Burrows had 179 PIM early on in his career during one season and had to teach himself not to take pointless penalties. Roussel hasn't learned that yet it seems. I'd love it if he and Burrows could have a chat about the role of agitator in the NHL.

  19. I am completely numb to Canucks losses and losing streaks.

      the losing can become a mental issue for the players though

      they are young

      and might not be tough enough to endure chronic losing

      that is my only concern really

      oilers have not recovered

      and sabres had to move out players to reorganize their locker room

      due to their lengthy time of losing

      i'd like the canucks to avoid that problem

      and lose less

      Silver linings... It's not as much fun right now, but in the long run, this is a good thing.

       

      We have some nice young players/prospects, but we need more. We need not just enough to build a future team, but extras to have trade chips when the time comes. Holding on to veterans like Edler and MDZ at the trade deadline in order to chase a playoff spot will be an opportunity missed. Getting a higher pick at the draft will only help - and finally winning the lottery would be a coup.

       

      Also, if you are truly surprised that players like Edler, Sutter, and Tanev have been injured, then that is shame on you. They are older, injury-prone players, and every year that is certainly not something that will improve. This latest round should once and for all prove that it's time to cut bait with some of these guys, even if they don't carry the value they once did.

       

      Another possible plus here is Boeser being slowed down by injury a bit now should make his next contract more affordable. Saving $$$ on him long-term could really help when we're ready to contend.

      The 80's and early 90's were harder to take in all honesty.

      Writing was on the wall when half the damn team went on IR by early Nov.

       

      &^@#ing so tired of these guys being injured all the time. Year after year this team just can't stay healthy.

      Winnipeg for example - 5 player games lost to injury. 5. I'm jealous over that stat.

       

  20. VERY important question: Which jersey should I wear to Friday's game? EP40 in white or Daniel's Millionaires? I haven't worn either to a game yet.

      Well if you're way up there, the maroon will disappear into the shadows.

       

      Wear white so we can cheer for you! (That, and the mil jerseys are cursed. Cursed I tells you!)

  21. Do the Canucks still sponsor a California road trip to bring BC fans to the games?

     

    Anyone going to next Friday's game in SJ?

  22. The fires here in NorCal are so bad that my workplace has been closed the last 3 days due to smoke/poor air quality. We're roughly 60 miles away, for reference.

      @Green Building Good God.  What happened to you people's sense of humour?  I've trolled much harder than this and gotten zero whining about it in the past.

      They ended up closing mt workplace for the duration of this week as well :-( We're expecting some rains starting Wednesday that should help with the flames, but the depleted landscape may give rise to mudslides and flooding.

      All joking aside, that sucks.  Two weeks of no work or pay...  I'm sure you work with people who live paycheque to paycheque.  This is going to hurt them bad.
