  1. GDT should be up shortly guys. 

  2. St. Louis scored 4 unanswered goals on the Avs.  Does that mean Colorado sucks?

      @debluvscanucksColorado is actually a great example of how we need to be patient with a rebuilding team. In 2016, they had a very talented but young core of Duchene, MacKinnon, Landeskog, Rantanen, Barrie, Varlamov and still finished with a very disappointing record. It takes a while for the young guys to grow and figure out how to be dominant shift after shift. But you just knew that they were going to get there. That's how I see it with our young guys who are already the core.

      I actually think they're great @vinny.   Pointing out the hypocrisy here and how good young teams still have those games.

      Nah, they don't suck, they're just bummed out they whiffed on the Taylor Hall Sweepstakes::D

  3. Was on my way to an appt. with a specialist today when an elderly woman was entering the hospital on her own (there was a seniors exercise group in session...could see through the window by the entrance she was heading to.  She was frail but had no support (cane/walker) and as she got near the curb, went to step up and her shoe came off.  She then lost her balance and fell face first onto the sidewalk ... didn't get to brace herself at all!  I heard the thud of the impact as her head took the brunt.  It was horrible.  It was a secluded entrance but there was another woman just getting out of her car so I waved her over to stay with the woman as I ran in to the hospital to get help.  It was gut wrenching.  I won't soon forget the image of her hitting the ground or just lying there in a crumpled, motionless heap.  Luckily, she was at the right place for this to happen, as 3 paramedics were quickly by her side.  But my God, her head/face were a mess.  I sure hope she's ok...just can't shake the worry.

      Cycling(out of Osaka, few yrs back) saw an elderly homeless fellow fall to ground, & go into convulsions. I guess it never leaves Deb..can't shake these images.

       

      In the end, for all of us..eventually our number comes up. But we're building societies with shyte priorities, which make common empathy appear some outdated relic of the past.

       

      As things get harder, the(in general, of course) hand will be forced. It's only then all folks will remember compassion.

  5. What even is this?  No game until Saturday??  Guess the league figured we'd need recovery time after the Burr game.

      Btw, took a sched-glance, & I think(for once) they've spaced the games quite nicely for us, last few mos. of season.

       

      Very few bxb's

  6. I really just want to hang out here all day and talk about Burrows with you guys.  Work?  Do we really need it?

      one thing i loved about burr’s game with the sedins, is he always knew when to be available to help with their cycle game and when to get in front of the net to screen or tip shots. sounds small but was very important to the sedin’s game. 

    3. DADDYROCK

      DADDYROCK

      Every team needs those heart and soul guys,it is what makes sports so great.

      Mr.Burrows was not he most talented player to ever wear a Canucks uniform,but the whole city loved his work ethic and his determination.

      Also scoring the huge goals didn't hurt his persona.

      @smithers joe     We got it!!!  Well, it's in the works...but offer's been accepted, down payment sent, etc., etc.  Woo!!  Biking to work this spring/summer.  I will be much happier.

  7. Trying to temper things, because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.  But my boss just put in an offer to buy a new office.  Six minute drive from my house (which means I'll bike in the summer).  Gorgeous office with 3 beautiful bathrooms (vs the one we share now...that doubles as our "kitchen sink").  A HUGE full kitchen...guy lived/worked at the office.  All SS and cherry/granite in the loaded kitchen.  Fireplace.  Hardwood floors.  (He has a huge wall mounted TV, pinball and pool table in there...wish those could stay).  Gorgeous SW facing building with skylights (one right over the reception desk that would be mine).  Rather than an ugly industrial area, there are two massive shopping areas up the road with a number of restaurants/amenities.  STOKED.  Come on now, get'er done.  Movin' on up time.

  8. Go Bluebombers!!

      Both ex-Lions with a great start to the game.  Hard to root against them.

      wally did a lot for the lions when he was in charge

      he cut ties with players who had serious careers but were reaching their twilight

      he mostly was right

      not with andrew harris though

      still shake my head when i think about it

      local running back who had so much quality

      and so many good years left

  11. Cheering for the Bombers...Adam Bighill's been tweeting back to me and I am officially his number one fan now - GO BIGGIE!  Plus, Andrew Harris.  I Do like Dave Dickinson, but that's all I got, Calgary.

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      I miss Bighill.  Heart and soul of the defense.

  12. GDT anyone?  First one up stays.

  13. Congrats to Brock on his hat trick.  Tears of joy that Dad's getting to cheer him on and is likely his very good luck charm.

  14. Super scary...Tyler Seguin's house post tornado (it was empty at the time as he's just moved out)

      That's got to be a poorly built home, Tornado wasn't even that strong.  I guess all those windows shattered which allowed all that wind to lift up the ceiling.

  15. When you were invited to the Lions' game but couldn't go and your friend sends a picture from the seats...behind Gino.  Damn.

      I'm expecting losses. Can't remember a morning game I ever liked watching, although that happened more often in the Sedin Era.

    Got this card last week... treasure it.  Two years ago today he left us.  Still gutted over it.

     

     

  18. Canucks have outscored their opponents 16-5 at home so far.

      3-0 at home so far. Awesome start to Bo's reign as captain.

    2. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      It was 15-5. The shootout winner doesn't count but it was still a damn impressive homestand. 

    3. #Canucks

      #Canucks

      15-5, 16-5 who cares we are 3-0 at home. Our team is exciting and I’m glad our team has a bright future.

  19. Well it was fun while it lasted...Mike Reilly out with a broken rib.  

  20. I have to get out of the Bertuzzi thread...my BP's going up.  

    I will never change my stance or my mind.

      It's all good....I don't expect everyone to share my opinion.   It's why we have discussion...to share ideas.  Cheers.

  21. I think it's time for another 90 mile walk to escape the panic.

  22. Penalty shot for throwing a broken stick.  Tie game!

      If you're watching the same game as I am, it's tied!  Oh wait, now it's not!!

      Lines should be, by the time Roussel gets back:

       

      Leivo/Baer - Gaudette - Virtanen/Leivo/Roussel

      Sutter - Beagle - Roussel/Virtanen/Leivo

    3. milk and honey

      milk and honey

      loving the leivo-gaudette-virtanen line

       

      that 4th line is killer to. all 3guys are good defensively and best suited to sutter atm imo.
