  1. So here we go. Boychuk gets to HIDE his cap hit, I'll bet dollars to donuts! I've been predicting this for mos(Hell yrs!). US teams ALWAYS get a pass, one way or the other. #riggeddeckLeague!
  2. White Rock was so beautiful in the 1970's. Paradise lost.
  3. Oh, & btw, any folks out there today, feeling utterly, irrevocably red-pilled by this point? What is there in the general society that one can thoroughly trust, and/or make plans on? Can't see much of anything.
  4. Good questions/thread, JIHN. An interesting scientist I like talks of the 5 stages of grief(environmental context), in homage to Eliz Kubler Ross, & her wonderful 1960's insight: denial, anger, bargaining, depression & acceptance. To these he added: gallow's humour. Finally he added stage 7: F**k it! This was a wonderful intellectual-leap.. & I'd say, in an economic-sense, we're likely meandering into stage 7 decline, & subsequent, wanton destruction! & the mug's query?.. If Big Gov & Megabanks(stock market, etc..) are makin it work in this economic quagmire, why were we ALL dutifully workin/payin taxes for all 'dem decades prior?! It's a F***ing shell game, & elites will surely rig things to keep the 99% hamsters runnin' on the wheel. I haven't read 'Animal Farm' since I was 14 yrs old, but strangely passages come back, & make more & more sense, as the SHTF!
  5. Almost feels like TBay & NYI's are playing a form of chicken with their souped up Ferraris, to see who blinks first. All TBay's pending headaches vs signing Barzal, as they just got Pulock inked. If these were 2 Cdn teams, it'd be an epic head-on, with all value whittled down to crap. League likes that. But with it being 2 key US markets, I bet they both wriggle through some narrow crack, in this cap-wall. If I were the Sens, would offer a Brannstrom pkg for Serg. Include a decent fwd prospect(2 ELC contracts!). How could TBay say no at this point?
  6. Since time is just a straight, uninterrupted line, it's in our nature to go back with second-guessing. What do you do when ones you love, are being hurt/manipulated by other fam members? I struggled with this for decades. There is no simple answer with predicaments like these. It was so frustrating for me to witness/experience, I finally decided to start anew across the pond. I've made many mistakes, but that(in the early, & then, late 90's) was the best choice I ever made.
  7. Kid always looks like he's all-in. Performed well in clutch College tilts. Let's be patient here..o-keydoke?
  8. Used to take friends visiting from Japan to The Tomahawk Barbeque in N Van(Philip Ave?) Think they opened in 1929, or something crazy like that? Pricey..but cool place if you wanna impress a friend(or decent lover!) The Yukon Breaky was epic.
  9. Happy 22nd BDay EP! Hope we get 25 NHL yrs of watchin' your gift!
  10. After parasites devour the host,..move on to the hostess?(Ma Nature ain't amused)
  11. Been dealing with these nasty buggers for 2 decades, whenever camping/hiking. Had one buzz my ear the other day(I was lighting a mosquito coil)..& I thought..."Hmm, why is there a F***ing helicopter flying overhead?...Eegads!! OMG sparrow BEEEE!..(mad dash)
  12. Gotta lotta time for Pamela A, after watching her support Assange so vociferously. Love to have some beers with that lass.
  13. Wide berth around Milwaukee, having watched Laverne & Shirley!
  14. So, promote your nation as the world's greatest democracy..yet seemingly incapable of conducting an honest election? Maybe just me, & I'm seeing this all wrong? But pretty funny, tbh
  15. We do need more grit/size/skill on our wings. JT Miller illustrated how profoundly 1 great addition can boost a lineup. Hoping VP & KL can arrive, as players we've all envisioned. Hoglander too Then there's pressure on Jake & Brock to continually up their game. All of this leads to a bar for W's being raised higher & higher. Factor in the 3 young quality C's we have, & appears we've got a fwd cast shaping up quite nicely. Be interesting to see how lines come together in 2, 3 yrs' time.
  16. RIP to Howie. & gee willikers! On the telestrator kids, he could REALLY shake, rattle & roll.. (hoo hoo hooo)
  17. So filled with connotation, is the colour green.. Green means GO! A green light to join the Green Party? to be young & inexperienced one is perhaps filled with envy Eco-friendly Or, tired from excess(jaded). This political theatre, leaves us all feeling 50 shades of green...
  18. To show off their versatility, let's try EP as #1 D, & QH as the 1st line C. Then after they win the Norris & Hart..switch back.
  19. I appreciate the attempt, JM..but no, I don't trust their intents, processes or conclusions. Haven't for a long time. G Carlin aptly summed up my political outlook, decades back. It's all an effective tool, utilized by big corp/$$$. I've been in the mtns(cycling/camping) a lot this wk, & I didn't even know the election was occurring, until a day or so later! :^) Like advertising, in general..there are things I try(quite hard) to purposefully ignore. Modern society has made this an interestingly difficult endeavour. When US elections pass by without your noticing, that's a positive step!
  20. Just what is the elite's objective here? Is it all an embarrassing sham, to get their exploited nation as utterly split as possible?! They're doin' a swell job, then. This morning a commenter on Zerohedge says: "What's really embarrassing is how the USA sends election-observers to other countries to ensure fair & balanced(sic) elections, & yet here in the mighty US of A, party observers are prohibited from observing!" As their Lamestream media blathers on about the interminable shenanigans, one wonders, is there ANY world example that attempts even 10% of such hypocrisy!?
  21. What NHL deems an important US market, so they'll be allowed to somehow amble around this cap-trap. skin rashes? They'll LTIR for mood swings, if necc...
  22. Pretty good, clear assessment. Glad he didn't hyperventilate about the cap-squeeze, as some fans apparently equate that with a Hindenburg landing. Did he mix OJ & Benn for sides? Be interesting to see who squeezes in on rhd-depth. If Nik can get back, we're golden. We HAVE our 1st this yr!!! That's the biggie, on what our lil' run accomplished. Totally releases the pressure, & makes the Miller deal irrefutable. So why not play the kids? The guys we let go are quality people, & great players. But we added a lot of talent too. NS usually healthier than CT, as well. With the ED approaching(& COVID mayhem) we had to be decisive, & we certainly were. Might be a half-step back, after two big strides forward..so can't complain about that.
