  1. Dotard's tax lawyers seem to know how to work the system. His other lawyers? Must have mentored under Hamilton Burger.
  2. I’d ALMOST rather even see Mike Keenan talk. . . . . . ALMOST.
  3. Same here. Had the misfortune of having to use US medical care once as well. First class service. Zero waiting time. Course before they did anything, they asked for my credit card & slapped several thousand dollars deposit charge on it. I knew I was covered from work (travel insurance), I didn't worry too much (I'd get reinbursed for any charges put on the credit card later). And no, you won't be turfed onto the streets if you couldn't pay. You'd get just re-directed to one of the noticeably lower tier hospitals in the city (to my knowledge). I'm guessing, they'd be on a level significantly worse than any hospital here in Canada. Here's a tip: if travel restrictions ever get lifted *DO NOT EVER* travel outside the country without adequate travel insurance. If in doubt, get supplemental insurance - just in case. VERY easy to accumulate charges in the several thousands of dollars (my ambulance ride alone cost me just under two grand (US$)!).
  4. Yeah I edited my reply. My apologies for jumping to conclusions (as usual ). Peace.
  5. I *think* part of the plan was to have Quinn in some sort of senior advisor capacity with Linden/Benning; unfortunately his illness got progressively worse until he succumbed to it.
  6. We would’ve better off not trading for Gudbranson in the first place. At least a better (granted not great but still far better than Gaudette in that role) 3C at a cheaper cap hit than Pearson.
  7. In a sense, the only GM we’ve ever had that was able to build from nothing was Pat Quinn. And he had to manage in an era where there was no cap *BUT* we didn’t have ownership that had the financial ability to operate like one of the big spenders in the league. Guys like Burke/Nonis and Gillis had the ability in certain stages.
  8. Well you know the Washington Capitals haven't won a Cup since they jettisoned Beagle.
  9. Nah, Bergman is by just a puppet. Jacobs is Thanos. Ron McLean is Harley Quinn.
  10. I don’t especially follow the Bolts that closely but they must be fairly deep to lose a legit 1st line forward (who can play center or wing) like Miller and still win a Cup. Sure at some point you’d think the house of cards will fall...but oh what a ride they had.
  11. True but it looks like theyre competing for the Cup (or at the very least, defending the Cup they just won last season). If you think you have a legit chance to win (in their case, win yet again), screw next year; play for today.
  12. He seemed like the type of coach to hire if the plan was to ice a bunch of prospects not a guy you hire if you’re trying to “compete for the Cup”. You hire a guy with actual NHL experience in coaching imho if that is your goal.
  13. "In 2019, the City of Calgary and CSEC agreed to split the $550 million cost to build the arena on lands to the north of the existing site of the Scotiabank Saddledome" In the province where they felt the need for an even further to the right of center party, you have them agree to provide corporate welfare (split the costs) for a team who's net worth is just under half a billion dollars (source: https://www.forbes.com/teams/calgary-flames/?sh=5f94d4321905). Meanwhile the Canucks play in an arena completely funded privately. In a city full of left wing hippies.
  14. Certainly not with a career minor league coach as the head coach for multiple seasons.
  15. I'm thinking we might need Jeff Brown as insurance on the blueline so I thought it might be better to get Richard Brodeur.
