  1. So, the Italians barely squeaking by Spain makes them the favourite? Go England GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Quite simple really - the cap is the same for all teams - no one wants our players cause they are low achievers (as my grade 10 French teacher used to say). IE, not much bang for the buck. Since the Sedins retired, we have had only 1 player get a NHL Award, Petterson with the Calder. We have never won the Vezina nor Norris.
  3. Am I the only one that sees the futility in such a question? How can you compare divisions when they never played against each other? Might as well ask which is the strongest team: Elks Blu Jays Bucs Canucks Makes no sense and is completely useless. Who was stronger - Lance or Neil Armstrong?
  4. The fat lady is singing En Francais!

      Do you think they will let me set up a camp chair in the dairy section at the grocery store?  I would be happy to give product advice in exchange for use of the space.

  7. Right...I didn't see the game last night, but the one before reminded me of the 2011 SCF, Vegas literally punching Habs players and no penalty called.
  8. I'm a huge Floyd fan, but their signature album is without a doubt, Dark Side Of The Moon. I don't know if I really have a favourite album, I like all of them. I have some favourite tracks, and mood also plays a factor to what I listen to. Echoes is probably my favourite if I was to choose one. Shine On You Crazy Diamond, then Dogs, then Time, Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Sheep, Not Now John, Astronomy Domine.
  9. 2 Year Plan for The Canucks Year 1: Win the Stanley Cup Year 2: Win the Stanley Cup Any questions?
  10. Good for Waters! Pink Floyd song writer Roger Waters slammed Mark Zuckerberg during a press conference recently, announcing that the Facebook owner had offered a “huge, huge amount of money” to use the iconic song Another Brick In The Wall Part II in an advert for Instagram. Speaking at an event to raise awareness about imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Waters noted the deep deep irony of Facebook wanting to buy and use a song that rails against ‘thought control’ and mindless conformity. Waters described the development as part of Zuckerberg’s “insidious movement… to take over absolutely everything.” Waters read out Facebook’s request, which noted “We want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.” “And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” Waters urged, adding “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.’” “So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘f**k you! No f**king way!’,” Waters boomed to rapturous applause. “I will not be a party to this bullsh-t, Zuckerberg,” Waters added. He then asked “How did this little pr**k, who started off going, ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a four out of five. She’s ugly, we’ll give her a one’… How the f**k did he get any power in anything?” “And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world,” Waters emphasised. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-roger-waters-tells-little-prick-zuckerberg-fk-following-request-use-iconic-pink

      It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

       

  13. 2 of Toffoli's 4 playoff goals so far are Game Winning ones and leads his team in points - gee, wasn't he a Canuck?  Why oh why did we let him slip away?

      @Heretic As bad as that trade was, and it was bad, we still got at least two full solid seasons out of Pederson.  Toffoli was a pointless rental in the end.

      Well there was Gudbranson.:P  Course everyone makes mistakes.  Key is acknowledging them and correcting them (Pearson for that pile of garbage)

  14. I hope Button is wrong, Hughes going to the Kings @ 8th. https://www.tsn.ca/michigan-mock-button-has-power-to-sabres-beniers-to-seattle-johnson-a-canuck-1.1648638 Be great if we get him.
  15. You're right, goes against why they changed it in the first place.
