  1. The realm of trade proposals is a dark and forsaken place.

      You're spot on ! Don't mind them tho'. They have a place. That place is the 'Armchair GM' section. Too many appear in 'Canucks Talk' !

      Oilers are just that bad ! Nothing deliberate. Buffalo is absolutely doing a managed dive ( again x 3+ ) and NYRs might be doing the same !

  3. So I am torn - don't want the Leafs winning a playoff series but at the same time don't want the Bruins to either - what do I do??????

      If TML wins, we won't get to enjoy the whinging and whining. We also have to endure Craig Simpson's TML bias for round two. I, too, loathe the Bruins, but TML must go down !!!!!!

  4. How hard is riding a motorcycle or scooter? If someone can ride a bicycle how much more training do they need for a motorcycle or scooter?

      Biggest bicycle habit you have to put aside is that on a motorcycle, your front brake is your main stopper ( about +/-80% ). Slamming on just your back brake causes major fish tailing ! Be very careful of braking once leaning into a corner. Get used to making 'eye contact' with car drivers. Always assume they don't notice you. Always, when behind a vehicle, make sure you can see the driver's side exterior mirror. The centre of any lane has the most oil. Ride slightly to the left of centre. Always be aware of side roads ! I could go on. As someone who has been over cars, under cars, embedded in the side of cars, I speak from experience.

       

      They say you have to fall off a horse 7 times before you can claim to be an experienced rider. M/Cs are a bit like that.

  6. Anybody else think NHL.COM sucks? It takes forever to load scores, box scores, stats, and the phone app is even worse.

      Yahoo.com sorts players by TOI which I like. They also include player #s, which NHL.com does, but many don't. ESPN did this last year, but not this year. I like to have a running box score when watching. Yahoo suits me best, but last year's ESPN was better !
