  1. I was just replying to your comment that "contractors can't be fired". Contractors can have their contracts terminated with 2 weeks notice - unless there has been a breach - then the contract can be terminated with no notice. Which is almost the same as an employee being let go (2 weeks notice) or fired (no notice) with just cause (like theft, failing to show up for work). What hasn't been determined is - are Professional Hockey Players contractors insomuch like you and I? They have a "Player's Association" that is like a union. I haven't belonged to a union since I worked (as an employee) for the BC Government for 4 years in the mid 90's. Yes, you are right, players aren't fired, nor have their contracts torn up for say poor performance (some have been bought out). IMHO, Sports players are more like Actors - they aren't "contractors" nor employees - they get paid depending on what is negotiated for their contract. What I am saying is, just because you have a contract does NOT make you a contractor.
  2. Wow....just awful....4 years fighting colon cancer... RIP Mr. Boseman....RIP.
  3. Obviously you have no experience as a contractor. A contractor can be fired in a sense - they can have their contract dismissed due to breach of contract among other things. We also are only paid for hours worked.
  4. Well said and I agree, though, most of the players are also wealthy. Just saying. If I take a day off to protest - I am out a day of pay - no one is going to step up and help me with my bills (and I don't expect that).
  5. You get what you pay for. I work from home on my computer and occasional gaming. Best chair I have ever owned I bought last year - DXRacer. Cost me $399.99 Looks like the price went up: https://www.dxracer.ca/ca/en-ca/product/1/gaming-chairs/racing-series/oh-rv131-nb/
  6. Go Canucks GO! FYI - the Canucks 50/50 raffle for tonight's game a super draw - $500,000 to the winner! https://vancouvercanucksraffle.5050central.com/Home/Index

      Doesn't matter which of them it was, cuz they were parroting the Great Ron McLean.

      Nobody scored one for their dead dad, lets talk about Huggy needing a hug.

       

      OK, show of hands, how many of you complained when McLean got fired 5 years ago... you all suck.

      its your fault.

       

      now back to Travis, I have been on his case from time to time, but this playoff he has been great.

       

      "what, kay? what? I coont ear you cuz I got a infuxxion in my ear."

       

      That question was AlienDeath Stare worthy, but Ol Greener handled it with aplomb

      Pretend you can't hear the question, then answer what ever you want

      2 thumbs up for Green, 3 thumbs down for patterson/Kuzma/McLean

  8. Dewey Decimal. Period.

  9. I see my monthly visit to the Trump thread went as well as i expected.

  10. Motttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. The Jets have always been my 2nd team (as I was born in Winnipeg). I used to pick Mr. Hawerchuk in hockey pools all the time. RIP...
  12. Why do we need to look at another team for failures? Canucks have enough in their own history for that!
  13. Wait - the round robin counts? I thought that was just warm up games for the teams that qualified?
