  1. Shoulder looked up to the task there......
  2. I wasn't quoting you - at least I didn't think I was. I could swear I was quoting the King of Curry. Not sure what happened. Pretty funny, however, as I don't think you would have said that. Next I will have you voting for Clinton and Horgan.
  3. Apparently the reports of its death was woefully premature: Ottawa to make this happen - about bloody time Ottawa 'determined' to see Trans Mountain pipeline expanded: minister Broad consultations confirmed Trans Mountain is in public interest: Jim Carr The Canadian Press Posted: Mar 15, 2018 2:33 PM ET Last Updated: Mar 15, 2018 4:05 PM ET Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr has reaffirmed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's position that the Liberal government is determined to ensure the Trans Mountain pipeline is expanded. (CBC) 1262 shares Facebook Twitter Reddit Google Share Email Related Stories Canada's natural resources minister says Ottawa is determined to see the Trans Mountain pipeline expanded, despite an interprovincial dispute on whether the project should go ahead. Jim Carr said the federal government approved the project because broad consultations determined it was in the national interest and will help facilitate a transition to clean energy. "Our plan is to use this time of transition to Canada's advantage by building the infrastructure to get our resources to global markets and using the revenues to invest in clean forms of energy," he said in Vancouver on Thursday. "That's why we've approved pipelines, including the Trans Mountain expansion, and we're determined to see them built." Alberta and B.C. have been locked in a battle over the future of Kinder Morgan Canada's $7.4-billion plan to triple capacity of the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. Canada will do what it must to keep B.C. from blocking Trans Mountain: Carr his week, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley called on the federal government to do whatever it takes to get the pipeline built. "Our government will not hesitate to do whatever is necessary to push the federal government to stand up for Albertans and for all Canadians, because we know that's what the pipeline represents," she said in the legislature. The federal government continues to voice its support for the project and has already stepped in to intervene with the National Energy Board over construction delays, Carr said. He noted that Trans Mountain still faces significant opposition in B.C., where thousands of people recently rallied in protest of the project and where the provincial government has raised concerns about the pipeline's possible environmental and economic impacts. Thousands of people march together during a protest against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Burnaby, B.C., on Saturday. The pipeline is set to increase the capacity of oil products flowing from Alberta to the B.C. coast to 890,000 barrels from 300,000 barrels. (Darryl Dyck/Canadian Press) B.C. has a right to consult with residents about the project, but the federal government has already held broad consultations and determined that expanding the pipeline is in the national interest, Carr said. "We understand that you're not going to have everybody in the country thinking that a major energy project is a good idea, but there's only one government that has the responsibility of determining the national interest and that's the government of Canada. And we have made that decision," he said. B.C. Premier John Horgan has said his government will ask the courts to determine if it has jurisdiction to limit how much diluted bitumen can flow through pipelines in the province. Carr said the federal government is waiting for details of the reference case before determining its next steps.
  4. If the kid wants to play and is medically cleared, let him get his 30th goal.
  5. Per another thread I started. I was suggesting Goldy and another asset (range of concepts) and some thought Tanev going and Sanheim and a mid pick (2nd or 3rd) coming back.
  6. If he was a pitcher, I would have some unease. Perhaps it will help his shooting percentage!
  7. Depends on what it is. I know a lot of people with non-displaced shoulder issues who think they are better after surgery than they ever felt at any point in life. Never with knees. Never with wrists. Sometimes with elbows (TJ) but often with shoulders. At least in people I have worked with and/or spoken to. I think one other poster had some anecdote about a family member in this regard.
  8. Wind - KILLS BIRDS AND BATS AND REQUIRES A LOT OF LAND Run of River - no dam - KILLS FISH, LOTS OF FISH Solar - TAKES UP LOTS OF LAND AND IS QUITE INEFFECTUAL IN MOST OF CANADA Tidal - UNPROVEN AT SCALE AND MOST PEOPLE FIND IT IMPACTS THE AREA AND DEVASTATES SEA LIFE Wave - SAME AS TIDAL BUT HAVING ANOTHER NAME FOR SAME ITEMS THAT MAY GIVE <1% ENERGY NEEDS IS A CUTE TRY Geothermal - HAD PROMISE IN 70'S BUT MOST ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS DISLIKE DUE TO FRACKING REQUIRED AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF CONTAMINATED WATER INVOLVED THAT IS HARD TO DISPOSE OF Bio Mass - WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS? HUMANS USED AS BATTERIES LIKE FROM THE MATRIX?
  9. I thought you in BC mined coal used for making steel and not thermal coal. Why would you want to stop making steel? Even wind turbines need steel for your GREEN stuff.
  10. Well, that would be good to translate to NHL for Canucks as there have been a few Canucks this year in top three (likely) in the "most dangerous player in goal area" too but, unfortunately, I think it was the Canuck goal area in each case.
  11. LOL - you did it without even saying their names yet you still made the point. Well played, well played.
  12. Should I worry, I have agreed with you twice in row.
  13. That length of time sounds like labrum (or other side) surgery which will be a few months of imobility followed by increasing stretching etc. He can cardio away etc and nowadays the fixed shoulder is often as strong or stronger than prior dependent on nature of cumulative damage.
  14. The Canucks are a team going through a transition and no one with a sense of hockey insight has them pegged for more than 80 to 90 points if fully healthy and with this level of injury impact, all bets were off. Short of obvious injuries, no team tells the rest of the league (it is not up to the player) and it has nothing to do with his contract. You seem to think he someone doesn’t all team doctors near him or that he simply missed games earlier by his own choice and told Canucks not to bother examining him. Even in lesser pro leagues and in CHL the teams are 100% aware of the status of their own players. You imply otherwise which is false. Sheep away but fabricating fantasy injury cover ups is akin to some of the crap people were saying about Virtanen.
  15. Wow. Just wow. A lot of you sure like to make things up about professional sports works but clearly have no real idea. Your core assumption that your Canucks are unique in everything from signings to injuries is intriguing as it clearly is not based on facts. Every professional hockey team has injuries and balances how to manage options including things like this that is a very common process and is a blessing they can shut him down versus Leafs with Matthews and his shoulder. Same decision Habs made with SW foot. No matter how badly some of you want to create an image of the Canucks managing things differently, it only works on those who have no clue about the reality of professional sports.
  16. Yes, he hid the injury from the team since November. OMG you are hilarious. Like OK in Edmonton, he played through it because it is optional surgery many players wait until off season but given where the Canucks are a mutual decision to shut it down was made. Having been there myself before, it happens. Have seen it happen many times. Really common. OK in Edmonton is going to get similar but has kept playing. You are relentlessly negative and now you are adding fiction to make your negativity even sound more dour. Do you have any hope or optimism in your life at all?
  17. One of the reasons I think the Canucks should try and get Sanheim while he is in/out of Philly lineup and they are getting thick in terms of D prospects.
  18. Unlikely true at all. Shoulder tweaks are very common and unless another team wanted him just for a run and no interest in re-signing then this would not have been an issue. There are probably three or four guys on every team in any given year that have a shoulder issue that could use a tweak. I remember it being very common. Surgery isn't always required but it is becoming more common to see it happen after players play a lot with the issue (pain). You are "saddled" with a very good Dman at a very good price. It speaks volumes about character that knowing he was injured in November, he comes back and still played very physically. "Loophole" - give me a break. You and fifth line need to follow another sport.
  19. You are an interesting poster. You know hockey is a rough game and players get injured. You know that his shoulder was injured in November and he has played since - clearly not a career item and more like need for a labrum tear fix or similar. Happens ALL THE TIME in pro sports. Many rarely go through a season without an injury. He is a nice Dman to have on your team and the price is decent. He plays a game where injuries can happen and fact that he was using his body a fair bit past month or so tells you the type of player you have - will play through things like a shoulder that needs some surgery. If you want to cheer for a sport where the players never get injured, perhaps table tennis might work for you? I don't know. Perhaps blisters happen or twisted ankles. Not sure.
  20. You, sir, are hilarious. So bringing oil to you from the Middle East is "better for the planet"? You do know that "GREEN ENERGY" can provide less than 30% of Canadian needs today even if we were to go "all in" and essentially triple the cost of that energy? You don't think that may have a little teeny impact on the most vulnerable in our society? You know what that would do to the North - which is predominantly indigenous in many communities? Your snowflake, isolated arguments are just like those in Hollywood make without having a clue on how to make it happen. Yes, the environment is important but you do realize that oil is also a natural product? You are aware that the climate has always been changing and that sun activity is the reason for it? You do also realize that you need public funds for things like GREEN ENERGY (will use your shouting) and other things - where will that revenue come from? I always wonder who votes for certain things and when I see some of this nature of posts, where people who demand a style of living and then turn around and protest the means by which it comes, it makes me shake my head. Good job, you have me dizzy!
