The last straw for me was buying straw mulch for my asparagus patch. That straw blew all over the place, and started growing like weeds where no weeds are supposed to be. The only things that liked it were the rats; they made tunnels through it and just had a great time licking each other's noses. I love the Canucks and look forward to every minute of every game. GO CANUCKS GO! BONUS:

When the Nux come out a-blazin', they can score on any team. Stay outta the box but hit to hurt, and keep it clean. Short shifts, high tempo, shoot, shoot, shoot! First mfn cheap shot = whole team response: Everybody take a number:

'Bout time you got up. You missed practice.

Looks more like Travis Hamonic.

He's a pretty tough kid and I want to see what precipitated it.

I think he did the slashING.

Does anybody have anything on Bear's slash after the end of the game? Shorty mentioned it but there was no clip and they cut right to the panel.

Does anybody have anything on Bear's slash after the Montreal game ended? Shorty mentioned it as it happened, but they didn't show a clip, and cut to something else.

I've been thinking (not a good sign) that JR & Co are like a 3-Choice Modification on the old Carrot & Stick Method: JR is The Stick. BB is The Carrot. PA is The Glue Guy who holds it all together. Ok, no more thinking, I get it.

From flohockey.tv: NHL College Free Agents: Jake Livingstone Leads List Of Top Available UFAs As NHL teams continue to pursue undrafted NCAA free agents, FloHockey looks at some of the top available for 2022-23. Oct 7, 2022 by Chris Peters Each season, NHL teams send pro scouts to college arenas across the country to see if they can find an undrafted player that will help their team. The pursuit of these free agents has only intensified over the last several years, with some teams dedicating scouts specifically to the evaluation and recruitment of these undrafted players. It shows how far teams are willing to go for just the smallest edge because most of these players are not going to be much more than depth and others may never play in the NHL at all. Sometimes, however, teams will land an impact player that significantly helps their team at a fairly low cost. The reason teams pursue college free agents in particular is because they’re often, older but not too old, and more physically advanced than their younger peers. There are fewer surprises that way. Most college free agents are close to finished products, what you see is what you get. Some have that little bit more upside to reach before fulfilling their potential and those tend to be the players that provide the most value. Think of guys like Chris and Brandon Tanev, both of whom were undrafted, signed as free agents and found ways to play significant roles for their respective NHL teams. Get players like that and you may as well have won the lottery, because the cost of acquisition was incredibly low. College free agents can only sign entry-level deals in the NHL. That keeps their cap hits low and teams don’t have to spend as much if they’re sent to the minors which is where most college UFAs will start. Last year’s class of college UFAs saw a number of players make instant impacts for their NHL teams. Players like Ben Meyers (Colorado Avalanche) and Marc McLaughlin (Boston Bruins) managed to score goals late in the season with their NHL clubs and could see NHL time this season as well. The 2022-23 college free agent class does not, at this point at least, look like it will be as impactful as last year’s. That said, a lot can change over the course of the season and this list could look a lot different in the spring. Here’s a look at 10 college free agents of note heading into the season. Jake Livingstone, D, Minnesota State (Age 23) A 6-foot-3, right-shot defenseman who produces points and can defend at a high level, Livingstone fits the profile of the kind of player that is most often highly-coveted by NHL teams in the college free agent market. He has the size, he has the ability, but there’s also a bit of a track record going back to junior hockey. In his last season with the Langley Rivermen, he had 49 points in 52 games. His production grew each year and that’s been the case in college as well. After putting up 14 points as a freshman, Livingstone had 31 points last season as the Mavericks made it all the way to the national championship game. He plays major minutes, gets into any situation and has the physical tools that allow him to excel at the collegiate level. NHL teams have shown interest in Livingstone going back to his freshman season and some thought he might sign after last season. Choosing to go back to school and get another year was likely the wise choice as he appears to be at the top of the free agent class this season. There will be a lot of NHL scouts at Minnesota State games this season as a result. Oct 8 2022 Minnesota vs Minnesota State

Bah! And, waa waa waa Drance!

I know what you mean by, 'almost scared', as all little D have to play that way or they will not last in the league. The better they are at avoiding that injuring hit, the better their careers will be. Jack and Quinn get out of the way most of the time; but also, therein lies the problem, only 'most of the time'. Big guys get hurt too, and cannot get out of the way as easily, but like Schenn, they do not need another teammate to protect them. I like jack a lot but believe you can only have so many very small guys on the team, especially on D. With Quinn already #1 Left D, and if we ever ice a full slate of D, we may have to carry a 7th D if Jack is to be in the lineup. With our depth at forward, I think we should be carrying 7 D anyway. If anyone is not going well, or injured, or in the box, we'd still have 3 pairings.

Like so many problems of this nature, there are multiple victims. In the case of the perpetrator, he is obviously at least mentally challenged, and probably should undergo medical care while incarcerated. Personally, I believe people who act out in these horrific manners should be incarcerated, most likely in hospitals, and not released until it can be established that they are no longer any risk at all to the rest of society. For example, I am against releasing diagnosed dangerous offenders until there is some evidence on the other side of the scales that 'proves' they will not reoffend. As this standard should be very high imo, very few would ever be released back to do more harm. This would also provide some relief and security for their victims, that these perpetrators would not be 'knocking on their door' or worse. This would also somewhat appease the 'angry dads' and others who are forced by our systems of justice to withhold their own forms of 'frontier justice'. We never forget and we never get over it; but it would be better if we knew they were still locked up.

Too fat for roofing.

Yeah, it was Wugly. (+2 Vancouver.)

Again, you missed the point, as in "Whoosh" it went right over your head. I wasn't talking about the team at all, just your constant put downs. I am out. Enjoy the game. Cheers.

Whoosh! It is painfully obvious that you are painfully oblivious to your painfully obnoxious put downs. You contribute great content imo, and are correct in so much of what you post, then you ruin it by putting other posters down. Cheers aGent; hope you enjoy the game tonight; Go Canucks Go! (How much is a win today going to improve the mood around here?) DROP THE PUCK ALREADY!

Yeah, sorry about that; just can't quit it.

Anybody not bowing down to the Great aGent is not paying attention; thanks for that.

Brad Marchand, Model of Morality! What a joke. Go lick a nose.

Wow! Super-frustrated CDC today. Write it off, put on your big boy boots people. All that wasted vitriol; what a laugh. Get ready for the next game. At least we got another point; a lot of other teams lost too, some in regulation. Get on the plane boys. Go Canucks Go!
