In other news.....I hear that Tucker Carlson is thinking about changing his name to Walter Cronkite.....

Just read a report that said JJ Watt is done for the season. (Shoulder surgery) https://www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/article/report-j-j-watt-likely-miss-rest-season-shoulder-surgery/ That's a blow to the Cards' defense. I'm guessing Aaron Rodgers is a happy man after seeing that....

Had a look at the upcoming schedule for all of the team in the hunt and there doesn't really seem to be a clear front runner. The Caps have LAFC and Seattle coming up, which is a tough final two matches, especially having to travel to LA.... I think we can probably expect RSL to leap frog Vancouver with their game in hand, as they host the 'Quakes who are pretty much out of it. However, it gets much tougher after that. First they host the Timbers and then finish away to Sporting KC. Minnesota also has a tough finishing schedule as they're home to Sporting and then away to the Galaxy LAFC finishes up their schedule with an away game in Colorado, after hosting the 'Caps on Tuesday. LA Galaxy also have a tough couple of games. First they visit the Sounders, before hosting what will likely be a desperate Minnesota side. All of that considered, I'd say the Whitecaps probably need a result in LA. At least a draw......

[PGT] Minnesota Wild at Vancouver Canucks | Oct. 26, 2021
RUPERTKBD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I didn't bother reading all 28pages of comments, but I can guess what the gist of them is....I thought I'd weigh in with my 2 cents.... For me, the Canucks just seem a bit...off. Passes just out of reach, or in the skates instead of on the tape.....snipers not burying A-1 chances, like we have seen them do in the past....special teams that just seem to lack communication and cohesion....and how many times did we see guys fall down for no apparent reason last night? It seems to me that for the most part, the effort is there, but the results just are not. I'm probably just repeating what many have said already, but the struggles of Petey, Boeser and Miller are really what is making the difference right now. The only game that the Canucks have scored above average goals was a game where Carter Hart couldn't stop a beach ball. other than that, as a team, they're struggling to put the puck in the net. This early in the season, I'm not going to panic, nor am I going to call for the coach's ouster, but the top guns (other than Bo) really need to get going. I'm happy with what I've seen from Demko, Horvat, Garland, OEL and to a lesser extent, Rathbone and Burroughs. Everyone else has more to give and the Canucks need more out of them.... -
Very intriguing... Interesting that they use a Boron Isotope....since Boron is what they use to control Nuclear reactions currently. Makes sense.

[GDT] Around the NHL | October (24-30) 2021
RUPERTKBD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
I would hope that most hockey fans would be above taunting an opposing player over the death of a friend.....but I suppose I have to bear in mind that this "fan" is from Texas.... https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/report-blue-jackets-attempting-identify-fan-taunted-merzlikins/ More in the link.... -
Fffftttt....what do they know....

3 billion light years away tells me that they were trying to get in touch.... Gotta say, from the initial description, I thought of a Pulsar right away.

@Pears 'Grats brother. That is a huge statement win against a really tough opponent. ...and just FTR, I'd like to say that Bye Weeks suck.....

Canucks Flying Skate Jersey Could be Making a Comeback
RUPERTKBD replied to Me_'s topic in Canucks Talk
TBH AJ, from day 1, I've never looked at a Canucks logo and said "that's the one". While the "Orca" logo doesn't excite me, it's at least somewhat representative of the team's locale. For me, a piece of hockey equipment like a stick or a skate, is just a bit too generic. I also prefer the Blue and Green color scheme over the Black, red and gold. -
Can't believe I missed that....(tuned in at the 95 minute mark) Huge win. Especially on the road against the Timbers....too bad LAFC and San Jose also won, but you can only control what your team does.... RSL has a game in hand on the 'Caps, so I'll be hoping to hear about a Chicago upset, before we take the pitch against the 'Quakes....

COP26- Nations trying to water down climate report ahead of summit
RUPERTKBD replied to UKNuck96's topic in Off-Topic General
Yeah, not surprising that big fossil fuel exporters (and importers) would be pushing back on this....it's much the same attitude we see from provinces and states in NA that do the same. No one wants to lose their cash cow.... Personally, I think it's time we as a planet get over Chernobyl and make Nuclear a much bigger part of our energy production.... -
Agreed. I'm pretty pissed off at him about all the rain we've been having this fall too.....

If they keep playing like they did in Buffalo, 100% will be a pipe dream....

Slowly coming out of a 2 year pandemic...global supply lines disrupted....taxpayer funded relief to millions.... The real surprise would be if inflation was not at an 18 year high....

[GDT] Vancouver Canucks @ Buffalo Sabres | Oct. 19th, 2021 | SNP, 4:00PM PT
RUPERTKBD replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Yep. A bit lucky there....of course, the Sabres were lucky that Jack's stick broke there.... BTW: Smart play by Podz to let that puck go by just after stepping onto the ice. Could have been a Too Many Men call otherwise.... -

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Detroit Red Wings | Oct. 16, 2021
RUPERTKBD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Reading comprehension? You say in one post that you don't think that the reffing was that poor and in another, you're saying that you think we lost because a potential 5 on 3 call wasn't made? "Poor, but relative in terms of poor?" What does that even mean? And again: A spearing call on OEL would also have "made a difference"....
