did i offend your senses?

look at this way.... one small family of 5 always votes what to have for dinner and it always is between meatloaf and mac and cheese... the vote always ends up 3/2 for a few weeks in a row for meatloaf. then one week the mac and cheese crowd complain that they will make their own food and eat on their own terms... not wanting to seperate the family the leaders decide to make mac n cheese this week. but sure enough next week meatloaf wins again, the mac and cheese crowd complains but the leaders remind them they had mac and cheese last week, and they have meatloaf... next week same vote result but this time mac and cheese crowd promises they will make their own food if its not fair.. the leaders think and and come up with a third option (one every person likes but is not their favorite)and agree to never have the same meal two weeks in a row... but overwhelmingly from then on out mac and cheese is hardly ever chosen,, the mac and cheese crowd complains... and the leaders says they will have more mac and cheese in the future on special occasions... but mac and cheese is hardly had for dinner from this point on....

I disagree... i am agreeing with you.... you just don't understand how its not malicious... infact if you took office and tried to correct said "atrocities" you would quickly be thrown out of power because democracy rules... easterners don't care that if we funded these western projects Canada would be better off twenty years down the road... they would rather have short immediate gains that benefit them now... and it makes total sense too, because they can hedge those short gains into more bigger gains down the road. These gains would be much more beneficial than the small incremental gains they "might" receive twenty years down the road. and as i said if we controlled the population it would be the opposite, there is no malicious actions here.. its the fact that if the feds promote and fund eastern projects they will be very popular, and if they dont they are out of a job. im sorry your upset you were born with a slight disadvantage... but no amount of complaining will change the effect of how democracy works
-
yes and its because of democracy.... federal government will always be biased towards provinces because of population density.... but do not make it out to be this malicious thing where PT is out to get us... you cannot appease everyone when your in federal government... might as well please the majority... no?
-
western alienation give me a break... if we had 60% of the population living in our province we would get the same treatment... its called democracy and the majority rules

other than buying one. this is all i could find... YMMV these posts are 7 and 9 years old and i cannot verify them. there's a parking garage below the bridge by costsco where all the players go through sometimes they'll stop but most times they'll just drive by. thats your best shot at autographs. I got hanks auto by doing that danny got out the car and walked away I know that Higgins used to walk to the arena but I think I heard about him moving somewhere else. and... The players typically drive into the underground parking via an entrance between Rogers Arena & BC Place. (I forget the gate) Have what you want signed (jersey or photo) clearly visible. That way, if they see you have his jersey, he is more likely to stop to sign. After the game is usually easier to catch them. Morning skates/team meetings make it tough to gauge when the players will arrive at Rogers Arena. If you cant get an answer you might try on reddit to ask a question.... you could always ask some staff if they have any tips... if you have lower bowl seats you could try making a sign asking for a autograph(i have seen that bribing the players works to get sticks and pucks... maybe you could buy their autograph with promises to donate to a local charity or something... but remember to bring your own marker...

we should jump on a second and a prospect IMO. maybe Podz and Hogz figure it out, maybe they dont. but if they don't we are not going to be competing for anything other than last wild card spot for the next few years. The PP is going to suffer without Bo and ideally we would want to trade boeser or garland. That means we are going to have to restructure our whole Powerplay and we are going to have a gaping hole on the second line if podz or hogz doesnt step up. so assuming pearson and poolman are done and one of garland and boeser are traded that means we have between 19.5-21 million in cap. pray miller regains his form as a center, sign a quality top 9 center to replace bo, sign a top 4 RD. and then after that we have maybe 10 million in cap to try build a functioning powerplay, penalty kill and cohesive team by either replacing or re-signing Schenn,Bear,dermott, boeser/garland and 2 depth players... thats 10 million for 6 players, i do not see us improving very much if at all with that much cap. if i tried to allocate the money I would let dermott walk and likely schenn will cash in and be out priced out of a contract with us... Bear might want a raise and could force our hand.... 10 million for a top 9 center and a top 4 RD bear is reasonable and signs a 2x2 we find a steal of a deal on a bottom 4 tweener LD at 2.5 million who is solid on the pk. we sign a serviceable 4c at 1.5 million who can kill pks and win draws and we have 4 million left for 3 plugs or maybe squeeze another mill out of this pool into one of the above pools. so with this roster that means our PP will look like Miller,hughes,petey,kuz, garland/boeser pp2 will be OEL mikheyev,dries, top 9 center and myers????? our pk will be much improved im thinking pk 1 top 9 center,mikheyev, new LD tweener top 4, myers pk 2 miller, new 4c OEL/Hughes , new RD top 4 likely our pk will improve but i still think it will be in the bottom half of the league and our pp will suffer to a middle of the pack without Podz and hogz stepping up.... and bubble demko returns maybe we fight for last wild card spot. hooray mediocrity, we did it reddit! even if podz and hogz do step up and get 30g and 70p between them... whats that worth 1 position maybe 2 ? and of course we BUY a rental and attempt the cinderella story and we start the next season with this years draft pick and Klim, lettermaki, karlsson, aman can overperform and EP2.0 gets promoted to the ahl.... Maybe im wrong and we end up trading boeser and garland this year... if that happens ill call this signing a major success... but if we dont its likely another year of perpetual mediocrity -

well thats just silly of course they can always run 13f and 8d if they can run 14f and 7 d. teams have many replacement level players signed at the league minimum. i bet you cant even come up with a good reason why one way is more optimal than the other strategically. I can give a good reason to run 14forwards though... forwards are more likely to be injured because of the ratio of 2:1 12 forwards and 6 dman... turns out having 14 forwards and 7 dman keeps that ratio, perfectly intact. the only real reason i can think of is that you would want it the other ways is becuase the 8dman is much more likely to play before the 15th forward. so in turn the beginning of the season is the only time they get the chance to get them time practicing with the big club. but after the first forward injury you can no longer afford that mentoring and the inevitable true perfect ratio of 14f and 7 dman is restored. -

the more i look at it, the more i realize we are doomed next year.... 10 million cap to replace boeser, myers, bear, schenn and horvat -

yeah... we would do just as bad.... and then probably would make even worse decisions and be fired the day after trade deadline -

its not that we think we can do better than them, its that we think any other professional can do better than them... there may be a few lost souls who think they could do a better job... I would point out who they were, but thats a rat move. keep repeating your message and they will surely correct you given enough time. funnily enough though i dont think its the regular armchair posters who are the self proclaimed enlightened ones... they just want a good conversation and hope to find people with like minds to discuss potential trades -

my guess is a whack of canadian teams sprinkled in with bottom feeders and teams that are aging out and trending down. -

well... its not off to a good start.... so far for next year we will be the same team minus bo and not have saved a dang penny on the cap. -

it didnt have to happen like that, though. they could have found a way to keep miller,bo,ep40,hughes and demko and traded away the chaff. maybe im over reacting... i like the contract, i like the player... but dang..... we are going to to get so much worse next year -

you want to bet? If this means we are trading bo and keeping an overstuffed cupboard of wingers, this is a terrible signing. -
Provorov declines pre-game pride night skate
Bad_BOI_pete replied to Slegr's topic in General Hockey Discussion
LOL... he mentioned religion... in his statement...... if you...... don't see that as relevant..... then you are lying to yourself... how convenient to just pick and choose what you want to see as truth, in fact you have many times concocted a grandiose plan for Provorov many times in this thread off baseless assumptions.... I can only imagine how quick you would be corrected if you had a coworker who you invited to your pride event and they declined and gave the exact same answer as provorov. then you went to HR and complained saying that the man is "intolerant" a "bigot" and your opinion has the mindset of someone who would instigate violence towards the LGBTQ community... after you used those words against him then complained to your boss for his bigotry you would very likely get suspended/fired if your co-worker explained the truth and not some made up cockamamie grandiose vision based off the words. "I respect everybody, and i respect everybody's choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion" No one has the right to force beliefs onto anyone unless they are governed laws... Freedom of opinion and expression is a universal freedom, if provorov chooses to express his support with words that is his freedom to do so.. no where in the UN basic rights does it say we have the basic right of mandatory parades of celebration. But it does say we have the right of freedom of discrimination, thought and religion.... and in canada and the united states, no person or organization can be forced to act against their conscience, religion or beliefs regarding marriage. this is a written law. You most certainly have the right to think all kinds of nasty things, and certainly you are allowed to express your feelings towards these subjects.... But no one has the freedom of subject of law. so say what you want about Provorov, call him a Bigot, that would perpetuate and condone violence. But know this you are discriminating against this man without proof of any basic human right or law in north america. You are treating this man with disregard of his basic human rights, without proof of any lawful or negligent behaviour. You are at fault, until the laws change. you may not like it, and you may not agree with it and you can whine and complain until your face goes red. but guess what like i said before whining and complaining shaming and discriminating is a counter productive measure.... You want to support and promote pride? go write down some encouraging words on why people of LGBTQ community are good wholesome people and encourage your friends and family to do the same then try to spread your message. promoting pride by sabotaging religion is some ass backwards nonsense... when you and a coworker are competing for a promotion do you out work them or sabotage them? In hockey, do you win by outworking your opponent or by slashing them across the knees? Do you forget the whole pumping my tires Luongo fiasco? Does the parent grow stronger bonds with other parents by yelling at their kids in public? anyways if you still think you are doing the right thing after reading this, i cannot help you anymore. maybe you should pitch in with other haters and purchase a community pillory for maximum shaming
