I agree. We had only been married a few months when we made the move and we knew a couple of people in Edm so that’s all the choice was really based on. Both cities have lots to offer with nice areas and green spaces around the river valleys but Calgary being so close to the mountains is very appealing…

Speaking as ‘Vancouverites’ who moved to Edmonton, acquired careers & bought our first home, paid off the mortgage and saved money, moved back to the FV, bought and paid off our home here…welcome to our little club of losers. Enjoy your adventure!

Maybe but let’s not pretend that entering into an illegal 50/50 partnership with an active duty cop to set up a gambling & money laundering ring doesn’t say a lot about a person’s ethics and morals. He paid his dues so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s grown. I was never aware of his social media stuff so we’ll see how he conducts himself as a member of the organization as opposed to when he was in the media looking for clicks. Still open-minded and hopeful but I don’t have a good feeling about this.

Did Tocchet delete his twitter account? I keep getting ‘this account doesn’t exist.’

Don’t worry Heff, some of us remember your bet last year with a poster that you couldn’t keep calm for two weeks, loser donating to Canuck Place. You won, while said poster got himself banned and reneged.

Heff I don’t disagree with you about Tocchet except that as Canuck fan from day one I will be damned if I let these goobers drive me away.

Apologies for the poor audio.

Could even make money off it. “This re-tool has been sponsored by Pfizer”

Here’s two that could be Hamhuisian. Devon Toews UFA after one more season. Shea Theodore after two more.

I think he’ll be true to his word and sign here. I don’t know that Bukala has any inside info either but it was the first time I’ve heard someone other than @Alflives put it out there so I thought it only fair to point out. I guess we’ll know soon enough. If I remember correctly Allvin went down and had a meeting with him recently so I’m sure that AM being an honourable guy would have told him if his intentions have changed. If so he’s definitely sugar sweet…

I am pretty firmly on the side that says he will sign in Vancouver but Jason Bukala, former director of amateur scouting for the Florida Panthers, was on the Drance and Dodd show on Thursday and said that he does not think McDonough will sign here. So you’re not all alone on your island Alf.

Trumpets blow. (at hockey games)

Feel sorry for the receptionist who answers the phone here.

Painful watching Bruce treated this way and seeing him struggling as he’s tries to answer questions. More than a little ironic that tonight the team celebrates Hockey Talks. Men’s mental health awareness is very important to the club but apparently Bruce’s…well, not so much.

Don’t mess with Vancouver seagulls.

In the end there can be only only one.

Same conversation is happening on the Flyers boards, not unique to Canada.

I had to think about this a bit before responding because I agree that I prefer people to be honest about their views. Knowing that you’ve been injured is a good reason but by itself it means nothing. By being open about it gives others a chance to discuss it so that perhaps the person interviewing you doesn’t throw the the next person’s resume into the shredder because of race, gender or sexuality. Like here in this thread. Maybe Provorov becomes enlightened, like Torts. Although I found his statement about “taking a moment before the anthem to reflect on racial injustice” kind of hilarious and self-serving.

Hmmmm…. John Tortorella on not standing for the anthem - “If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game,” John Tortorella on Provorov - “was true to himself and to his religion.” “It’s one thing I respect about Provy, he’s always true to himself,” Tortorella said.
