Kootenay Gold

Probably just an over site on their part as he cleared waivers today.

I thought there was a definite risk with McEwen. But do not have that same feeling about Delia.

I doubt he will be claimed. He is Abby bound IMO

Now that you posted that just watch Nielsen score tonight lol.

Those are some very interesting choices for the power play units. Probably the last look-see before making more roster cuts. Gives coaches an opportunity to evaluate on any potential call up as needed during the season.

IMO, Karlsson and Lockwood might get a few games while Boeser and Mikheyev recover from injuries but will be sent down after they return. Aman may get a few games based on his performance so far but will also be sent down at some point.

No surprises there.

Grand Funk was awesome. Saw them live in the old Sam Houston Coliseum back in the Spring of 1971 while visiting with my Aunt, Uncle & cousins. Cousins and I had a "smokin" good time lol.

Kirill will be one to watch in the OHL this season.

Perhaps an easier path too if Quinn moves to the right side

His name is a mouthful lol. Hoping to see him in action in these last two games along with Jackson van de leest. Lets see if a 7th rounder and an invitee can impress the management (or not)

A lot depends on each families individual situation. Lots of different factors come into play. Are you renting or do you own a home and if so, are you carrying a mortgage on it? Do you own a vehicle (one or more) and are you making payments on it? These factors weight heavily on how impacted a family might be due to inflation. Certainly the added burden of rising interest rates will impact those who are financing a home, vehicle or both more than those who are not. We are selective in what we buy and have a decent sized garden so food prices are not a big issue though some items in the stores cost far more than what one would think is a reasonable hike due to inflation. My families overall expenses have not increased by 30%, probably closer to 10%, if that. As I mentioned earlier; each family is different. We have no mortgage as we paid cash for our home out of our investment fund; same applies to our vehicle. I am retired and have CPP / OAS and a company pension to live on and that is a big time difference compared to a young couple just starting out in life's journey. My son was just treading water living in Vancouver and left the lower mainland and came back to the Kootenay area. He is renting the downstairs suite and went back to college and got a degree in accounting and is doing very well in the job he is now in.

They have him listed as 6'0 and 200 lbs but regardless of his actual size he played big. He is only 18 so good chance he will fill out a bit more as he gets older.

I thought he had a very good game last night.

Happening all over BC IMO. In our local area of the East Kootenay assessed values of home went up by an average of 21% just last year. We have a housing shortage here but it is mostly from Albertans leaving Calgary and Lethbridge and moving into SE BC.

What a bonehead play by Perfetti with just over 2 minutes to play.

They are doing just the opposite at the moment. Spending like crazy and hiking interest rates to try and slow down the inflation rate. Just read an article where average house prices have dropped by 22% in the bigger markets. Not surprised by that as very few can afford to take out a high priced mortgage now. I'm glad that my home is paid in full and do not have these issues.

Wikipedia has the actual true story of what transpired ...........After the Liberals formed the government, Martin was chosen as minister of finance by Prime Minister Chrétien. At the time, Canada had one of the highest budgetary deficits of the G7 countries. Standard & Poor's had lowered its rating on Canada's foreign-denominated government debt from AAA to AA-plus in 1992, and in 1994, Moody's lowered its rating on Canada's foreign currency debt from Aaa to Aa1, partly due to Canada's growing public debt.[11] In his debut as finance minister, Martin made huge budget cuts that almost ground economic growth to a halt, scaling down government to 1951 levels. In 1994–96, when these cuts were made, economic growth decreased by 3.5 percentage points, according to a study by CIBC-Wood Gundy. The resulting loss in tax revenue almost eliminated the savings made by the cuts and turned the economy away from the public sector toward the private sector. The cuts endangered the provinces' abilities to pay for social programs, health care, and public infrastructure. In response, the Bank of Canada lowered interest rates to avoid contributing to a growing recession, causing a huge spurt of economic growth and resulting increase in government revenue.[12] In 1998, Martin introduced a balanced budget, an event that had occurred only twice in 36 years before 1997.[13] In 2002, Moody's and Standard and Poor's restored Canada's domestic and foreign currency debt ratings to AAA.[11]

Just the right size for AZ to move into

That they do. My niece's son just turned 16 this summer and he is 6'6 and about 220 lbs. He is a Left shot D man and will be playing in the AJHL this fall. He has always been big for his age but this last growth spurt has really messed up his co-ordination. Time will tell if the co-ordination catches up to his body.

I am wondering about Van De Leest; how is his foot speed and mobility? Is it something the Canucks are evaluating or is it the processing of the game? I know next to nothing about this player.

Baby Nucks forward group looks ok but the D is very weak IMO. Silovs here to save the day LOL.

So when are they going to post the young stars Canuck roster?

Sad to say but this might be the best outcome from the tragedy that occurred.
