  1. Random question:

    Gas or Electric snowblower?

    I'm getting one soon, but which one?  4-5 car driveway size. Live in the interior of BC.

      Alway choose gas. It’s not even close. This is a snow blower! Just say no to electric. 

    3. canuck73_3

      canuck73_3

      with your location and size of lot I would lean gas myself

      This morning I ordered the Greenworks Electric 2 stage snowblower from Costco - it's cheaper there than from Greenworks own website on sale lol.

      I already have their mower so I have a few batteries and have been very satisfied with that unit - hopefully the snow machine will work as well.  Either way, being from Costco, if it doesn't perform, it'll go back and I'll get a gas powered unit. 

  2. How are people feeling about the recent Bill Peters hiring in the WHL?

      If he is truly remorseful and has learned from his past behaviour, I am okay with it. I’m all for second chances, within reason of course. 

    2. Ghostsof1915

      As long as he loses every game, and is fired at the end of the season.

      I'm good. :lol:

    3. Citizen Erased

      Citizen Erased

      If he loses every game, I doubt that he would make it to the end of the season.

  3. Are we all ready for the steady stream of fabrications regarding every player/pick/prospect on the team leading up to next month's draft?

  4. Never in my life have I been this happy to be wrong about a playoff series!  Enjoy your records Bos....they're MEANINGLESS now....

  5. Yes!!!! Nashville Victory!

      The sad thing is that this will likely result with Sutter being fired.

  6. These NESN Bruins announcers are SO awful...this TB/Bos game is only watchable w/o audio sadly.

      Amazes me they both still have jobs after fat shaming Pat Maroon a couple months ago.

      Old Bruins play by play goof Jack Edwards:  I'm not a fan of Cooke's antics *AFTER* he left the Canucks but to compare him to Sirhan Sirhan?  Jeez:

      I really want to watch this Bos/Car game in a few minutes but I don't think I can handle those NESN commentators....sad....

  7. 7-2-1 in the last 10 with one of the easiest remaining schedules in the entire league.  I'm afraid we've seen this scenario before....

      Maybe, with guys all playing the right way within a proper structure, we are a good team?  We have Demko back, who can carry the club when struggling. Petey, Hughes, Miller are elite difference makers.

      Our annual season run to secure a crappier draft pick is like screwing timmy the mailroom clerk in hopes of getting a raise.  we're literally screwing ourselves to the middle.

  8. You don't see teams scoring double digits very often these days....

  9. Lazar for 4th - this must be the 'major surgery' JR alluded to....

      management shouldn't make trades just for the sake of making trades though

  10. CBJ vs. AZ, what result is better for our tank?...... ...I'm guessing AZ win in OT, or...?  

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Alternating OT wins and losses for both. Better for the Tank if both get points.

    2. AlwaysACanuckFan

      AlwaysACanuckFan

      Arizona in ot but I think CBJ wins this instead 

  11. I knew the HNIC panel would support the TO trade, but this is ridiculous.  It's comical to watch.   

    1. Pears

      Pears

      Foaming at the mouth over it like they didn’t do the same with Giordano and Foligno the previous two years.

      either the Canuck media is crap cuz they are negative,

      or the Leaf media is crap because they are positive

      you guys live a tough life

       

      what are you doing watching a Leafs game anyway?

      torturing yourselves?

    3. Dazzle

      ROR is a great player.

  12. If we won #2 OA in the draft - would people consider that a win or a loss? 

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      1st overall or bust.

    2. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      Still a win -- Fantilli and Carlsson (and to a lesser extent Michkov given his contract) are supposed to be special too.  
      I doubt the Sabres were too disappointed in 2015 when they got Eichel instead of McDavid (I mean there's still a gap, but Eichel in that instance was still elite, so I think it'd be the same for whichever of the other kids we would get at #2).  

  13. Hope you're proud of yourself JR, that was one of the most classless debacles in franchise history.   Sad part, the books not closed on this wasted season.

      Good point, I think we should all be somewhat concerned.  Other than signing Kuz, can anyone list a meaningful move this management has made?

  14. Lots of injuries to key guys on contending teams right now.

    Got to think a GM might want to get a jump on the trade market and get things rolling.....

    1. Dazzle

      @Fanuck I'm not laughing at you, FYI. I have zero confidence that this management group knows what it's doing. They are doctors claiming that we need major surgery, but they have so far, identified the wrong parts to do surgery on. It's pretty damning too that as "surgeons" that they had, at the beginning of the season, opted to invest in the wrong equipment for this team.

    2. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I hear you Dazzle, I was only half-heartedly thinking it might be our own GM who was involved in getting the trade-ball rolling so to speak.  I'm giving this management group even odds as to whether they do something big, or absolutely nothing meaningful - sad as that is. 

    3. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      I think you are assuming our management group knows what it's doing. I'm not sure about that. 

  15. So your franchise is floundering in mediocrity and your move is to hire a convicted criminal with a losing record?

  16. What are people's thoughts on RHD Sandin-Pellikka? 

     

    We're currently sitting in a draft position at just about his predicted final ranking?  Or Willander - he's ranked lower but fills organizational need.

      He is small, and looked pretty bad in World Juniors imo, but to be fair so did the entire Sweden team. 

       

      Bedard, Fanta, Carlsson, Michkov, Smith, Benson, Yager, Barlow, Gauthier, Sale, Dvorsky are all better picks imo as of now.

       

      Rather push for Strbak, Reinbacher, Dragicivek in late 1sts and 2nd rounds for RHD's.

      He's on my Do Not Draft list due to his play in his own zone.  We don't need another defenceman who can't play defence.

  17. Super elated after watching team Canada, then turned to Bill's gm....

      Hope that young man makes a full recovery.  It was a very weird play in that the hit in NFL standards didn't seem all that bad.  NFL made the right decision unlike the night owen hart was dropped from the ceiling to his death and Vince Mcmahon kept the show running.

  18. I can't follow a sport that is fundamentally based in no small part on which players can 'dive' and 'fake' better than the other team's. 

    1. Caboose

      So no hockey for you? Or basketball? Or Olympic diving?

      you're dreaming if you don't think hockey players sell tripping/holding/hooking calls... 

    3. logic

      logic

      I am also guessing you have never been clipped in the heel, or shin with metal studs while running full speed lol is there simulation? of course, but a lot of the times you dive or keep your momentum going rather than stopping awkwardly and increasing risk of injury

  19. Have to admit, this did surprise me:

    While it might surprise some, the most dangerous line in the NHL this season has been the Ilya Mikheyev-Elias Pettersson-Andrei Kuzmenko trio. The trio is averaging 2.13 goals per 20 minutes of ice time, the best of all 49 lines with at least 100 minutes played at five-on-five.

      That line has a good mix of two way play, offensive creation, and European flair to it.

  20. Why do Veterans wait in the cold for 'dignitaries' to arrive during Remembrance Day ceremonies?  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Should be the other way around. Bottom line it's support to your fellow soldiers. A sacrifice of a cold morning to support the fallen is worth it.

      Confederate General Johnson & Union General Sherman had numerous battles in the field during the American civil war yet Johnson stood hatless (it was a bitter cold day) in the funeral procession for Sherman.  His friends pleaded with him to wear a hat but he wouldn't have anything of it.  He said:  "if the positions were reversed, Sherman would not wear a hat either".  Johnson would catch a cold & later pneumonia (and died soon after).

      Absolutely asinine that 80, 90 year old veterans are waiting around in the cold in wheelchairs while Trudeau's wife and teenage son arrive in a limo, go through some motions and then leave in a limo.  

  21. Down to 3 winless teams in the league.  All 3 play on Thursday - some team will still be winless on Friday.

  23. Do you block recent profile visitors from being seen on your settings?  If so, why? 

  24. Ever come across symptoms for a terrible medical condition - then realize you seemingly have all of them?

      Thanks Vinny, appreciate the perspective. 

       

      I understand where the jokes are coming from,  but I can assure people I'm not the worrying type whatsoever.   I so rarely see the Dr that my family Dr actually dropped me as a patient (but I convinced him to see me again).  Bottom line my Dr said I definitely did the right thing in making an appointment- we're doing a battery of testing to, as you said Vinny, rule things out....

      as a 84 going on 97 year old, i have copd, diabetes, enlarged aorta, fatty liver, unhealthy kidneys, plus i had a 5 bi-pass surgery in 2017. putting that along side arthritis in 5 areas of my spine several cancers that weren't fatal, makes me a walking time bomb. at my age i don't care. good luck to you as you seek help.
