Love listening to Brian Burke. On Bo: I've never really met him - just say hi to him. He was a rival...I didn't like him.....cuz he plays too hard. Never takes a shift off, even in preseason. Then talked about his gaff last night and how sour he was on the bench afterward..."that's what you want to see". (A guy all in like that)

PAGING: SMITHERS JOE...PLEASE GO TO YOUR INBOX. ALSO: HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR CDC FRIEND.

Love that we have guys like SOB, Jovo and Bert on board still weighing in on the team. With that, Bert was on (for BerTuesday..something like that) and stated exactly how I feel about Jake. That they COULD give up on him but he's not the type of guy you want to watch flourish elsewhere. That he has great potential and tools in the toolbox...just has to know how to put it together. Says he loves when he is "on"...driving the net, involved physically, etc. Good enough for Bert? Good enough for me. Because he should know what a potential PF looks like.

I remember going to school with some kids that were skinny and not very aggressive, only to go to my 10 year grad reunion and finding these guys to have grown, added weight and had become men, in attitude and confidence. Somewhere during that 10 span they had grown up......imagine my surprise!
It is a good thing I was a nice guy...…..I lasted the night anyways!
This is why I am afraid of letting Jake go...…..we gotta find a way to give him a couple more years IMO
My bet is he starts to show better this year
The club house has changed, personell

The comments from Laine and the fact that there are reports of a bit of discontent in the Jets' room makes me so happy our guys aren't divas...even if they like Fortnite. Good on paper doesn't always mean it works. I feel our team "works" together. Bo accepts his role when others are out. Petey just wants to be better. Jake is working toward how he can be his best and is working hard to prove that (not talking to the media about how unfair it is). Stech is a beast. Quinn's a treat. Brock wants to be here with his brothers. Etc. That's a team.

Loui E. will be gone soon enough(I know not soon enough for some) ,we still have some pretty young guys trying to fill huge skates.
We will start to take it to the league pretty soon just like when the Sedins were here and a few more players will be older wiser and some will be skilled and speedy and be putting it all out there for our "TEAM".
GO CANUCKS!

I'm glad that we can now put to rest all the smack talk about Brock and Jake. How about we just enjoy some hockey for awhile now. So much to look forward to.
-
I'm on overload...as if it wasn't enough that I have not one but two Canucks games tonight AND they're showing the '94 game against the Flames...but BROCK IS SIGNED. Merry Christmas everyone!
-
This is hilarious...listening to these guys talking about their golf game.
-
Petey (@ Northview) on Brock...been talking to him..."he'll sort it out ... or I'll drive to Minnesota and pick him up". DO IT PETEY!

ya they can paper down gaudette no one can claim him on waivers they can also waive eriksson and schaller biega and motte if need be and im pretty sure no one would grab them if they did sweet them in utica opens open 3.8 plus gaudettes cap hit 900k plus we have a space 4.5 so if u think boeser is getting 10 mill thats only way we cant sign him otherwise hell be here before or after training camp
-
It wouldnt surprise me if you dont see brock in a canuck uni this season.they dont have the room
His agent need to chill.There are new players here now that can fill that void.I am sure Brock knows this.I would fire the agent.he obviously wants to play hockey.Doesnt seem like a smart play in my books.And Im also sure that Travis isnt going to lay back.He and benning have a job to do and if brock cant be part of it then cest la vie.It is what it is.The game goes on without him.And it will.Brock or no brock.You can fiddle the numbers all you want.If he doesnt make camp then others will fill the spot.

After informal skate...EP hung around and is working on his shot/one timer. God, this kid's brilliant.

@SabreFan1 I think Canada is rubbing on ya pretty well.
-
@Dazzle Actually I've cheered for Canada in international sporting events since watching my first Olympics as a kid. I've lived in Buffalo (US/Canada border city) for most of my life.
Once the USA is out of any international event, I then cheer for Canada and then the UK after that.
If all 3 countries are out, then I usually don't care who wins unless it's a women's event. In that case, I cheer for the hottest one. If none of the women are hot then I go back to not caring who wins...
-
It's going to be tough...Bianca's looked tired, but has a fighter spirit and seems to hate to lose. Serena's played lights out all tournament.
I'm just glad they get a rematch after Serena opting out at the Rogers Cup.Either way, win or lose, Bianca can hold her head high. She's made huge strides and is proving she's a champion.
Just love how invested she is ... even when she's down, she's not out. Should be a great match.

A medication that "may cause suicidal thoughts or actions" and "bone loss"? I think that's likely worse than the original pain.

i think if you have taken suicidal actions, telling a doctor is a little late. always hate to take medication hat may cause kidney damage, strokes, blindness, deafness or death. we use to use a floor stripper that claimed that all those things in mice. then it said, it hasn’t been tested on humans. we got that stuff thrown out.

Ugh, the more you do the more that's expected of you. On both of my weeks vacation I've volunteered to go in to do payroll as no one else can/will do it. I'd planned on going in today but a guy was leaving on his vacation last night, so I went in a day early and changed my plans. Had to leave during the Shapavalov match as a result (grr). I arrive to find my desk covered in work waiting for my return (no biggie, happened last time too), but then my boss starts giving me tasks to do before I leave?? Then cops an attitude when I tell him "I'm not here for long". I am taking time off in lieu of the time spent there during my vacation time (saving it for hockey!!) but it still doesn't take away from the fact that ... rather than appreciate the effort, he was taking advantage of it by ignoring the gesture and piling on. Guilting me. I'm getting better at establishing boundaries, however, sigh. I want to be a good, dedicated worker but please...don't interpret that as doormat.
There, I feel better now. -
My vacation week: Day one...took the car in for an 8:30 am appointment - it sat in their parking lot all day and I walked home (10km). No biggie, but not the start I'd hoped for. This morning? 6:30 am the paving crew arrived and fired up their machinery. AFTER me not having a good night's sleep realizing my car was likely unlocked, out on a public street and had stuff in it. Like my brand new Canucks storage cubicle.

8 years ago today we lost a beast of a man in Rick Rypien. He may be gone but he'll never be forgotten.

I'm such a hockey geek...reading this gem right now (given to me by a neighbour).

Happy pride everyone!

Saw this question on Hockey News:
If you could have dinner with any NHLer, past or present, just to hear the stories they have to tell, who would it be? -
Just hanging around, waiting for the TRS thread to be updated with Boeser news. Until then, I'm dead inside.

GINO!

"but the one man he could always count on was Pat Quinn. Early on, Quinn would stop by a couple of times a week to visit, and when Odjick travelled back east to be with his family, his old coach was on the phone, urging him to listen to the doctors and take care of himself because he was getting better.
Stick with the program, Quinn would tell him, his coach till the end.
“He was a special person,” Odjick says. “He not only made me a better hockey player, he made me a better person. He’ll have an impact on me my whole life.”
Once, Quinn went the better part of 10 days without visiting, and Odjick thought he must have been out of town. He later learned Quinn was in the hospital himself, but he never once mentioned his illness to his former player. In fact, he left strict instructions that Odjick wasn’t to be told about his cancer.
“He never mentioned anything about being sick,” Odjick says, shaking his head. “He went so quick. It was a shock.”

WTH happened to Twitter?

Out for my walk at lunch when a bunch of screaming kidiots came running toward me throwing sand at each other as they ran past. Got some in my eye, but I'm not allowed to body slam them so I look for a sign of life with their parents, who are seated on a bench, busily ignoring each other as they check their phones. Hopefully for a parental handbook that tells them they're failing, miserably. I won't blame the kids - it's the sadults who are clueless.
