  1. The best was when Benning finally stocked up on picks in 2019 and then went ahead and took 6 wingers and 0 defenceman. We need to hope our management can make a D.Toews like deal and find a team who are in as tough spot like the Islanders were.
  2. Like the Cowessess cemetery graves, the Lower Kootenay unmarked graves are within an existing cemetery — and again the cemetery was used by the broader community. Former chief Sophie Pierre told Global News “there’s no discovery, we knew it was there, it’s a graveyard.” “The fact there are graves inside a graveyard shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.” The history of this cemetery is complex. Records show it was established in 1865 — 50 years before the residential school opened. In 1874, the cemetery began servicing the only local hospital in the Cranbrook region. The Lower Kootenay Band was clear about these points in their original news release, noting that the graves were originally marked. “Graves were traditionally marked with wooden crosses and this practice continues to this day in many Indigenous communities across Canada. Wooden crosses can deteriorate over time due to erosion or fire which can result in an unmarked grave.” “These factors, among others, make it extremely difficult to establish whether or not these unmarked graves contain the remains of children "Thousands dead in unmarked graves from Canadian residential schools" ????? "1500 bodies found in 7 schools" ???? Actually, not a single body has been uncovered, discovered, unearthed, excavated, DNA tested ETC. Am I the only one who thinks it's wild that we've been told that thousands of children have been "FOUND" buried in unmarked graves, yet there actually hasn't been a single piece of evidence to confirm this? And no I am not saying indigenous children were not abused, killed, tortured etc.. so let's please not turn this into that. I am simply talking about truth and facts. The anthropologists themselves will tell you that none of this can be confirmed without excavation. They use ground penetrating radar which detects irregularities in the soil... irregularities can also be detected from things such as root formations, minerals and rocks. On Thursday, Sarah Beaulieu, who performed the search just days before the preliminary results were made public, said nothing has changed substantively since her initial findings. She did, however, reduce the number of probable gravesites from 215 to 200, taking into account previous excavation work that had been done in the area that could have influenced the results. She also stressed her findings can’t be confirmed unless excavations are done at the scene. “Which is why we need to pull back a little bit and say that they are ‘probable burials,’ they are ‘targets of interest,’ for sure,” said Dr. Beaulieu, who has about a decade of experience searching for historic grave sites, including working with the RCMP and other First Nations communities. She said the sites “have multiple signatures that present like burials,” but that “we do need to say that they are probable, until one excavates.” The poster I quoted above brought up unmarked graves near Cranbook. The media was all over that one as well, 183 "Children found dead" When is reality it turns out that this was an old burial ground which was once marked and which contains the resting place for many people of different ages, most of who were buried before the residential schools had even opened We have been told that thousands of children's bodies have been discovered, yet not one finding has been confirmed.
  3. All this talk about him not "wanting it". The kid just isn't any good. I've never seen such a bad player be given so many opportunities. Crazy
  4. I am definitely much less optimistic and excited now compared to a week ago. It's very unfortunate
  5. Dermott is playing for his NHL life right now and we got him for a 3rd round pick, Myers literally scored just 1 goal last year... sorry but nothing you say ever makes any sense. You need to realize you're talking to a group of Canucks die hards who know everything there is to know about this team and it's players
  6. Hold my beer. Signing Virtanen and Holtby instead, then losing Tanev
  7. Rathbone was awesome last night. Lots of mistakes, missed shots, missed opportunities etc but he was electric in a sloppy kind of way which is good considering it was the first preseason game and most guys out there didn't know what the hell was going on. I have high hopes for this kid. Jett Woo on the other hand, absolute bust.
  8. Love me some Bo but wow he is the most overrated player around here. If Bo is a top C on any team it's a team that finishes last in the standings, which is what we have been doing with Bo for years now. During a good year he can get you 60 points, he's not in any selke conversations as his defense game is still suspect in a lot of cases. No we do not have three top line centers, if we do then something is terribly wrong. Three first line centers, an elite defenseman(apparently two seeing as how everybody here loves OEL so much for some reason) and an elite goalie and we still missed the playoffs?
  9. 1040 had decent reception, not to mention I preferred the personalities from that station anyways. 650 reception is horrible and only works well enough in about 40% of my surrounding area (also on the island)
  10. Just add me to that underground off-topic group you guys have. I'm sure differing views are much welcomed and appreciated there lol
  11. He's mixed race, his father grew up in the exact same area that Ghandi did. Nonetheless, Kinglsey got his academy award taken away and yeah they probably should of found a pure Indian
  12. Yo dude...turn off "The View" and go outside The Little Mermaid will be a flop just like all the other woke garbage Hollywood puts out but good for them. Nobody cares if she's black or white, purple, gold or pink, in the original story she was white, people want original. Stop trying to divide with your virtue signaling
