  1. A whole roaster or a whole roster? Some roasted chicken sounds great tonight. Hopefully I do not have to share with the whole team.
  2. Keeping Jake is not worth tanking for. He had to play better, but he won't. That was the rub.
  3. I have two jobs. I am a hospital chaplain at a non-profit hospital and a specialist for a state run youth prison. At the hospital, I recieved my first Pfizer shot ten days ago and have eleven days to go for the second. My job at the state is unionized. Despite having COVID outbreaks in our region, my colleagues have yet to receive their COVID shots. Everyone wants to move on from COVID. We all have served prison time this year. Granted staying at home has helped us to save money.
  4. We have many rookies in the line up. Are we surprised at the results right now?
  5. Short answer is yes. Each team has a supply of professionals available that help players manage money.
  6. Add in there the 5% his agent makes each year and that number adds up. But, his Chapter 7 case may get thrown out and he will be forced into a Chapter 11. Why? He makes too much money to qualify for a Chapter 7 and family members that he cares are not legal dependents. https://upsolve.org/ca/means-test/
  7. Getting my Pfizer vaccine next Wednesday. I am a hospital chaplain and I think it is pretty awesome how the government down here works.
  8. Having the bling is nice. Sends a message. I gave my wife on our wedding day a set that was made in the 1940s. It looked amazing. But for her, she has a lot of pride in my gift to her. We have been married 22 years and sincerely love each other. And that ring on her finger is a symbol of that love.
  9. I am surprised that no one has suggested to line him up against Kassian, Lucic, and Tkachuk every game and hope for some wonderful magic.
  10. I think they could relocate all of the Canadian NHL teams in America, have them play in the same time zone, and in NHL sized arenas, and can hold up to 17,000 fans with favourable COVID laws in place: Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Houston, San Antonio, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Madison.
  11. For the kind of money he wants to be signed for we could sign Chara as he is a defensive defenceman who is unsigned. Granted he plays the left side. However, a safer approach may be Madison Bowey who has better numbers and is four years younger
  12. Do we want a guy who has tallied a total of 31 points, averaged 106 shots, with a 3.3% shooting percentage of plus three over the last three years on this team, and has been paid an average of 3.9-million? Could we get those stats from any rookie and save almost $3-million? This seriously should not be a discussion.
  13. I am 45 and played soccer and hockey into college. While I am active, I feel it everyday and realize I am not as young as I once was. Whether it is the arthritis in my joints, the damage that caused me to have two ankle surgery, to having the shoulders of an 82-year old, I feel it. But I have a lot of respect for these older players. It is not as easy as it seems and you can only take so much toradol.
  14. It would be a great story. For us, what would have it looked like if the Sedins were still playing? Granted they are five years older than Seabrook but they were in tremendous shape and were still very productive.
  15. This is a great post. Some people would rather listen to Google than listen to actual professionals with advanced degrees and are considered subject matter experts. Along my path I earned two master's degree, one doctorate, and now I am completing a second doctorate. I might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but I gave up eating crayons in Kindergarten.
  16. I think they could relocate all of the Canadian NHL teams in America, have them play in the same time zone, and in NHL sized arenas, and can hold up to 17,000 fans with favourable COVID laws in place: Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans and Madison.
  17. Hopefully it is not the size of the board in Jerry's world also known as AT&T Stadium.
  18. Logical. If this is what we got, I am kind of worried. I mean, these rookies will need to play their best hockey ever to keep us competitive every night. I will be happy if they can pull that off, but I don't expect them to actually do it night in night out. What say you?
  19. Do you think that the level of taxation in British Columbia and Canada in general is a problem? What about the cost of the real estate and/or the rental market especially downtown? I agree with you that the KHL becomes an attractive solution for fringe players. But being paid little should be an awesome incentive to work harder and earn more money. That is what happened for Burrows. Of the practices I saw, he was the first on and the last off and actually earned his contracts. He even agreed to take less so he could have a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
