  1. I get that from a general humanity pov. But I've learned over the years that sometimes there are folks that just can't be helped.
  2. After the 3rd or 4th attempt I don't care anymore. He doesn't seem to want it, so why should I want it for him?
  3. ouch that's kind of cruel giving out the locker info.
  4. why is it a shame? he's had multiple chances to make a career happen before this latest debacle.
  5. just shows how close to the line these guys are on losing their careers, one wrong crash into the net and you can't really get back to what you were.
  6. its his D+6 year correct? maybe he is ready.
  7. I wonder if the NHL has any kind of mechanism for dealing with this kind of thing? from their statement it does kind of sound like they are treating it like a family issue and are waiting to see what happens. Not sure how this can't be a distraction for the team moving forward tho. Reporters are calling for the NHL to investigate... but what would they do that the court hasn't done? not sure its realistic to expect the NHL to investigate bad parents? https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/nhl-must-do-more-than-monitor-child-abuse-allegations-against-canucks-owner-francesco-aquilini/
  8. short shows can be really good sometimes. Saw Ray Charles do about a 70 min set that was just great. Same thing with James Brown, in Downtown Disney of all places.
  9. Serevalli isn't a fan of the Mikheyev deal, so maybe that played into it a bit. Our local media goofs taking things and overblowing them is par for the course.
  10. he's barely 18, can we resist putting the heavy pressure on until say 19?
  11. had the unfortunate opportunity to see INXS once, lamest show I ever saw.
  12. we don't know what their home life was like, to be able to make any comment like this one way or the other. Of course its possible she's part of the problem, or maybe its all him. We just don't know and likely never will.
  13. I'm guessing there has to be a story here.
  14. I get the anger part for sure, I don't think its going help tho. I do think moving and looking for some higher earning or lower cost of ownership opportunities might be worth exploring. You never know what might happen. Even somewhere like Seattle e.g., might be a good option for a few years to continue to build up the nest egg. I have a daughter that's 23, so I still see all the problems you're facing staring her in the face too, so we're not free of it either since we do want to help her deal with this. Right now it will likely be us footing a big part of the bill once she's ready to own, but that's something we're able and willing to do without changing how we like to live too much, most of what we like to do is free or cheap outdoor stuff. On the what to do part - something I just don't understand is why this isn't a bigger voting issue. Why are we wasting time fighting over things like Site C or what Christy did, e.g., when housing is clearly the biggest issue facing people under 40? Millenials are now the biggest voting group, you guys can push the agenda if someone or some group can get this front and centre in each election moving forward. I do think its an issue we can solve through things like rent controls, more development of rental homes, co-op ides, etc. but none of this ever seems to get to the top of the agenda. Boomers aren't going to help, they'll nimby most ideas imo.
  15. that's a good point, didn't realize that until you posted it, but that is a big hole in the show. Its OK I guess, I would have hoped for something a bit more innovative but I guess its just another meh spinoff in the grand tradition of spinoffs. I hope they raise the bar for the Jon Snow version.
  16. not me, I like the idea of having a large group of guys capable of being on the PK. Makes the inevitable injuries less impactful.
  17. how about we keep this over in the thread dedicated to the topic?
