      According to Darren Dunn, CEO of Assiniboia Downs, Rich Strike’s mom, named Gold Strike, is from Manitoba.

      “The mother of the Kentucky Derby winner was born and bred in Manitoba. She began her racing career at Assiniboia Downs,”

  4. If Lu retires, what are the cap ramifications for us?

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      I would think the best time would be after this season, as we already pay $800K of his salary each year so it would be $2M/season for 3 seasons, after that it is horrific

  5. Of course...scheduling is that the Lions playoff game starts at exactly puck drop  time for the hockey game.  How dumb.  I'll be going back and forth but my loyalty is to this team/game, so mostly hockey it'll be.  WE ARE ALL LION CANUCKS

     

  6. Anyone else feel the earthquake in Victoria?

  7. How does one sleep... when their sleeping pattern is so flip flopped?!  I am so awake at night and tired during the day like right now at 2:15am.

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      I cannot give advice on how to sleep better, however I will give this advice from experience.

      DO NOT TAKE SLEEPING PILLS!!!

      They only work for a short time, then you have to take more and then more and then more...

      Try the age old remedy, warm milk, or sleepy tea.

      De-stress yourself,(easier said than done) People with a clear conscience sleep beautifully.

  11. Can we bring back "Where the Streets Have No Names" for the walk out song for the Canucks again?  Best pump up song for the Canucks.

     

    Also bring back Holiday back as the goal song for all the players, enough of that stupid different songs.

  12. Why are hard boiled eggs really difficult to get the shell off sometimes?  

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      Really farm fresh eggs are hard to get the shell off, It sounds weird, but you don't want really fresh eggs if you are going to hard boil.

  13. It appears that WHL hockey won't be moving to Nanaimo any time soon. Voter turnout was a paltry %36, but it was a landslide "No" vote to the proposed $80 million events center that would have included a new arena.

      Very disappointing for us Mid Island people. Nanaimo Council is the most dysfunctional ever!

  14. Happy International Women's Day to all the women on here! Y'all are awesome, strong, smart, and while I don't know you personally, you still inspire me.

      Women that love hockey are special and deserve bigger diamonds!

  15. asking the tough questions... why do we always have to mount horses from the left side and never from the right? will they fall over if mounted on their right side? 

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      You have to go back to ancient times when horses were used as war mounts. Soldiers carry their swords on the left side (to reach with their right hand) and so they could only mount from the left or they would sit on their sword. Ouch!

  16. So does Miller get credited with a shutout? He never let a goal in.

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      In another twist, the goal also went into the stat line as an empty netter because Miller was already off the ice.

      "It's a weird way to catalogue it," said Miller. "Didn't let one in and don't get the shutout, but to get a win on opening night and help get us started in the right direction, I would have taken anything."

  20. have to put my dog down today, worst day of my life

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      The time has come -- please let me go.

      Take me where my need they'll tend,

      And please stay with me till the end.

      Hold me firm and speak to me,

      Until my eyes no longer see.

      I know in time that you will see

      The kindness that you did for me.

      Although my tail its last has waved,

      From pain and suffering I've been saved.

      Please do not grieve -- it must be you

      Who had this painful thing to do.

      We've been so...

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      If it should be that I grow weak

      And pain should keep me from my sleep,

      Then you must do what must be done,

      For this last battle cannot be won.

      You will be sad, I understand.

      Don't let your grief then stay your hand.

      For this day, more than all the rest,

      Your love for me must stand the test.

      We've had so many happy years.

      What is to come can hold no fears.

      You'd not want me to suffer so;

      The time has come...

    1. Mackcanuck

      Mackcanuck

      Iknow what the league's reaction would be, no fine or suspension for Julien because it's Boston
