Ya but our 2020 3rd rounder is a total bust

Maybe he meant minutes?

I took my son to the game in Detroit last week. Paid $35 US each for 9th row

I used to spend my summers out west nd filled my trunk with Kokanee before driving back to Ont

Nice... i just visited at the end of Aug for the first time in 26 yrs. Was way too long. Need to go back to see a home game.

How odd is this.... every fwd is +1 at this point of the game.

I just don't understand putting Petey and Brock on the opposites sides, taking away both of their one-timers

Little salty over the Calder i guess. Classless move though.

Great behind the scenes piece. BERT !

He did... with about half a dozen less drop passes than he's had tonight.

Weird odds... i just flew Windsor to TO and sat next to Pat Verbeek who's now asst GM in Detroit. I told him how much we appreciated Biega's efforts over the years and his response was "well we need him more than you do now".

I didnt see anywhere that said he didnt pass the physical. Green set a specific individual goal for JV which he fell short of (big difference). My work has 100% target levels and 150% bonus target level... passing the physical would be the first and Green's goal for him would be beyond that.

I grew up in Windsor and still catch every game they play in Detroit, so I'll be there! There are always lots of Canuck fans/jerseys there btw

Must be true... i bought my first car in Alberta when i was 15 and drove it back to SW Ont the next year (needed to be 16 here). i kept my AB insurance throughout university cause it was so much cheaper. Still have my WHITE AB plates.

Ha, yes i've heard that before. My daugher was initially in Langley at the start of the summer but had to find a new place when some pipes burst. Her choices were Surrey or Burnaby (where she is now).

Funny story... i'd fly out and spend my summers in Alberta with my dad and work delivering new cars all over. His #1 piece of advice was to avoid any pickups with guys in the back cause they'd throw empties at nice cars. Sure enough....

Hey thanks Deb... yes I'll be in the US first actually, visiting my brother in Seattle for a few days. I should've thought of it sooner but I'll grab a ticket and catch the Lions game on the 24th. Never been able to see them (or the Canucks) play a home game. Def will be hitting Granville, but when i'm downtown that wknd it'll be all walking or Uber.

Looks like I'll be spending a couple of days in Tofino as well... learning how to surf apparently First time on the island for me.

Really appreciate all the suggestions guys... knew i could count on you !

yep, read a bit about that spot. where i grew up (windsor) is the tijuana of the north after all.

Excellent. yes i'm hoping a rogers tour will run into some players. where i live in SW ont is where Todd Warriner is from, so i've met him a few times. Bo's hometown is 1/2 hour away but haven't lucked into running into him. Definitely going to find some live music, as i go to concerts all the time in either TO or Detroit. I found a cruise up indian arm which looked good, but might want to go ocean side instead.

Ramen for sure ! My daughter loves them so we get them when we can.

Ha... except probably driving the US way since my brother is in Seattle. I let my other daughter drive out there with her (with dad's credit card of course) so she wasn't alone, and they had a great time together. Now it's my turn . We've spent a lot of time driving together since I've always coached their travel ball and ringette teams. We'll be singing most of the way for sure. Thanks!

Great, thanks! Ya i thought about the grind. If we get up there to zip-line then probably will.

So despite being born in North Van (a long time ago) and being a Canuck fan in Ontario forever, I haven't been back to BC in 26 years ! But since one of my daughters is wrapping up a work term there this month, I'll be flying there in couple weeks for a visit and to keep her company on the drive back to Ontario. I'm there between Aug 21 - 28, and will have the 23/24 wknd to myself while she's on the island with friends, and was wondering if any of you could suggest anything of: Canuck-related events going on ? (might do the Rogers tour and definitely hitting the store there) best restaurants / sports pubs / clubs local beers / foods (had amazing oysters and beer on Granville Island the last time i was there) activities/tours to check out (was thinking about zip-lining and a boat tour) Even things to avoid helps Thanks in advance.
