Kes and Burr cut down on their chirping and we got to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Where did we get when they were mouthing off?
Leave the poor guy alone. He's not Wayne Gretzky. He tries his hardest. The Sedins are the Art Ross trophy winners. If you're expecting more in the playoffs, it should be from them.
He did his part.
When Vancouver Canucks players chirp, we are classified as dirty/classless/diving by the entire media/nhl. When other teams chirp (boston) they are angels. There is a double-standard in this league and the Canucks get the raw end. The refs really don't like us to succeed. I seriously believe a few of them hold a grudge against Burrows/canucks after he called out Auger. If we had done all of the skate hacking/punching that Boston did to us in the finals after whistles, we'd have a huge amount of penalties. Yes, it was not a level playing field.

Edmonton's going to be savage to play against in the upcoming years. Give them 3-5 seasons, and they will be a threat.
I'm actually pulling for Edmonton and the Islanders to become a threat. It's been too long for the two historic organizations with the last great dynasty teams at the bottom of the standings. I'm pulling for Tavares and Hall to save their respective franchises.
At the moment, I just see Tavares as a more talented, mature and complete player, which is why I think the Islanders will become a good team. Hall needs a legit #1 center to be the great player he's projected to be - maybe RNH can fill those shoes.
ONE THING that NYI has that EDM does not - depth at defence. NYI has developed a serious core of defenders that could potentially be very good players - they already have Mark Streit to begin with, and now Hamonic and De Haan. Hamonic and De Haan could be deadly in a couple years, while EDM does not have that organizational depth at the backend.
Chicago had Keith and Seabrook. Pittsburgh had Gonchar and Letang. Edmonton better realize that they need defense to start winning. NYI has the right idea - they have two very promising young defensemen. Edmonton is close, but they still need to seriously work on their defense IMO before they are to be taken seriously any time soon.
In 5 seasons, I doubt the Oilers hang on to some of their very good prospects.

6.6 'NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN' (within the last hour)
http://earthquake.us.../usc0005vv7.php
The Ring of Fire is pissed.
-
Richmond? Ouch.
What's Richmond?
-
Probably on the Island.
parts of the lower mainland should be included in that too. some of those old buildings will fold faster than the atlanta thrashers. downtown van is going to be hellish.
-
They've been saying that ever since the San Fransisco quake of '89. And I'm sure long before that one as well. It could happen, it may never happen in our lifetimes.
Very, very high chance that it will happen in the next 200 years. I'm super dramatic so I buy into this whole 4 corners earthquake thinger. It's coming!!
-
OK, so that was for last year, ending in September, so this year we could start anytime between now and the end of November, which makes those quakes up the coast last night a little more interesting, as the timing is just about right.
sorry, i found the blog from this year. http://www.pnsn.org/WEBICORDER/DEEPTREM/summer2011.html

Is this the ETS blog you were talking about??
yeah, that looks about right.
-
Are you sure that wasn't August of last year??
There has now been a 7.3 near Fiji.
data from the fiji quake: http://earthquake.us.../usc0005vcv.php
What the F is going on?
Some fearmongering earthquake music:
-
Tremor swarms occur about every 14 months along the cascadia fault, the last one ended in September of last year, the next is due soon. Scientists believe that these swarms may be the catalyst that sets off the big one, as in a swarm begins and then it all lets go. So, if it's going to be this year, it could be anytime now and those quakes running right up the coast of North America could be precurser quakes, hard to say.
The ETS (episodic tremor and slip)? Is that what you're talking about? Some earthquake blogger said it may have started sooner than normal (august). I remember posting it somewhere a few weeks ago, but i don't know how much credibility that person warrants. Still interesting.

Foreshadowing to a bigger one or easing off pressure? Who knows?!
-
I am in Nanaimo so I am hoping that Newcastle, Protection and Gabriola Islands help soften the blow of a possible tsunami. I always thought, though, that because the strait isn't open ocean like the other recent devastating tsunami's, we wouldn't see the same impact here on the east side of the island. That is kinda what I always thought but have absolutely zero evidence or proof to back that theory up.
At any rate, the minute I feel that "big one", I will immediately B-line for Mount Benson(drive, run, crawl, whatever). That is my safety plan...just hope I'm not dead or trapped under some debris.
landslide?
-
If you haven't yet, watch this program, it is the latest scientific data regarding was has happened over and over in the past and what is about to happen very soon. Scientists are right back to the drawing board and their jaws are in their laps over this new information.
I have these signs in my town on the island.
I remember someone posting a tsunami hazard map for british columbia, but i can't find where it is.

Contrary to popular belief, foreshocks are usually relative to the size of the earthquake. The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake had a 7.3 forshock in 2002. Also, the most destructive types of Earthquakes are megathrust (like the one in Japan this year) which is what the big one will be. It depends on where you live really, Richmond should be worried about drowning, Vancouver should be worried about crumbling and the valley should be worried about suffocating from Mt. Baker erupting.
We should all be given mandatory jetpacks. Seriously, if this was harry potter, we'd just be able to hop on our brooms and escape.
-
Does anyone have any information on British Columbia's Building Codes in regard to earthquakes? Any links would be appreciated. For buildings now being built, what earthquake magnitude are they designed to withstand? Are they forcing them to build to a magnitude of a megaquake 9+'ish?
For older buildings, what that are they generally designed to withstand? I'm mainly interested in hospitals, bridges, highrises.
-
I believe that this is the show that has the mud core data, very new information.

thanks for the video.

I was thinking about it. Wouldn't the recent 6.4 and the countless aftershocks release a lot of the pressure off the plates, meaning the big one would be held back even longer.
Or what if the big one doesn't even hit Vancouver but maybe more north or south from Vancouver.
That's what some people seem to say, but you never know. Back in july 2004, northern vancouver island had two earthquakes 4 days apart with an almost identical epicentre. The first was a smaller 5.8 and the 2nd was a bigger 6.1. The 2nd waspretty scary. Felt like thunder from below in the middle of the night. Who knows. I'll be wearing my helmet full-time for the next week and staying out of highrises.
-
No idea about New West. I checked usgs earthquake site, but i didn't see anything posted yet.
There was a 4.2 at 2:37 am north of vancouver island though.
Could the Big One be coming soon?
I'll give it a couple of days. -
-
COME AT ME, BRO!
This you?
If you were standing there and it came at you, you'd be tsunami'd. -
DON'T! You'll only encourage it!
Agreed. I'm quite happy with a 'lame' earthquake because the Big One will be catastrophic.

I'm hearing reports that R.Luongo.1 may not have made it.
In the even that this would happen, he told me to tell the CDC mods to have his account banned. Please respect his wishes. Thank you.
