Farewell to everybody! For me it's time to move on not only from this forum but also from the Canucks. Best advice I can share: IMAGINE with all your mind BELIEVE with all your heart ACHIEVE with all your might Having said that I wish everyone a fulfilled life and success. Take care.

This was the traditional way to get the munich beer to the october-festival. Loads of beer barrels stapled on a waggon drawn by at least six horses. The image shows the most popular Hofbräu - Beer with the majestic crown as symbol for the brewery. Each of the six munich brewerys has its own symbol and waggon. These waggons with the horses are the main attraction for the tourists at the festival. The tourists are so excited to take photos of these waggons and horses. With over 5 million liter of beer consumed at the festival this way to get beer to the festival is no longer suitable. Instead they use beer pipelines under the ground to supply the tents with fresh beer.

well more openness about the technical struggles is not going to resolve the technical issues. I guess Stealth needs a little more time to set up the technical infrastructure for the new forum to make it work properly in the end. So a little more patience would be helpful.

some more beer for @73 Percent

Yeah it's way easier to block users on twitter that continue to criticize the front office and the owner. Wonderful world in Canada. Freedom of speech is going to get fully extinguished and someday you wake up as a Canadian feeling you live in a communist country like russia. Great. Just keep going. There are lots of videos on youtube from people that lived in Canada many years and decided to leave the country.

Seriously? If ownership or the front office isn't mature enough to deal with justified ! criticsm on this forum they should all resign immediately. I have said it over the last couple of month several times: the only way out of this mess is to sell the team. Aquillini has proven that he is not able to run an NHL franchise and the front office has lost all of its credibility within a span of a few months after they were hired. How Rutherford an Allvin handled the Boudreau situation was beyond ridiculous. I toally understand that lots of Canuck fans turned away from this franchise and spend their time more wisely.

It's more than disappointing that none of the moderators are in a postion to comment on the reason for the shut-down. I don't get why it shouldn't be possible to provide some transparency. The statement that they want to focus on other social media channels sounds like more of an excuse. Having said this, I always were very pleased with the functionality of this forum. I mean all the features that this forum had to offer made it fun to be here. Will certainly miss the opportunity to talk about hockey on a forum like this. Have tried other forums like the RedWings forum, but these aren't as sophisticated as CDC. I've been becoming more of a basketball fan lately, so I will try to sign up on a NBA teams forum.

Don't get this discussion about the hits on the ice. What does really matter in the end for a captain? First and foremost it's the ability the demonstrate leadership not only on the ice but also off the ice. I remember very well when the Canucks experienced a terrible start of the season with 8 or 10 games lost on a road trip in Canada and the States and Burrows speech in New York was the turning point. It's the ability to deliver a great speech when the things go south. Only time will tell if Quinn does have those kind of leadership qualities in him. I agree that choosing Quinn over Petey is the right move. As much I like Petey's game on the ice I question his language skills. Pretty sure that he can't express his thoughts in a way to his teammates that would make him a great leader.

awesome video about Tim Stützle working out together with Moritz Seider in Mannheim, Germany. Both are working hard in the gym followed by practice session on the ice with lots of passing, stick-handling and shooting. Once they finished their skating they went to a restaurant to have lunch. Stützle wrapped up the day playing golf on the range which looks pretty ugly compared to the top-notch driving ranges in the Canada.

Do you think Stützle should undergo a social media sensitivity training? I mean the court decided that Jordan B. Peterson has to undergo a social media sensitivity training because of his remarks he made on social media. He's really upset because he still thinks that freedom of speech is a universal principle in Canada.

Has to do with the culture and the ability to express thoughts in a foreign language for Stützle. Main difference is for sure that Canadians are used to express their opinion in a more polite and friendly way aiming to not offend others. Secondly the english language is a foreign language for Stützle and therefore he tries to explain his opinion with the vocabulary he knows which is not very sophisticated most of the time. That's perfectly fine when you take into account that he's a young man that has been living in north america only for two years. I really think that we have something in common with the Americans who are also quite frank and straightforward in expressing their opinions and thoughts.

Germany wins it against the United States with 113-111. I knew from the beginning that the German Team had a decent chance to win this game. Headcoach Herbert is truly a mastermind and the team has proven that it can execute a gameplan flawlessly. Key was the winning mentality and the pure determination to win it against the mighty team USA.

that's an excellent analogy. He was 0/9 in the first half and had a terrible day. I really do believe that Germany has a decent chance to win the game against the United States, because this German team has a great mentality, he necessary depth for such a tournament and of course an outstanding coach in Herbert. Guys like Schröder or Franz Wagner are both NBA players and have the necessary experience when it comes to crunch time to make plays and get points. They need to bring their A-Game to beat the United States, tough.
