Wouldn't matter what it says now anyways...much like the rule that changed to screw us over on the Luongo deal, I'm positive that whatever rule exists today will be twisted so that the Canucks get screwed come the Expansion Draft...

Watched a Simple Favor last night...wicked funny! Both Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick gave their best performances to date...both very funny ladies...neither would be considered for an award but still, really recommended!

The Millennial Attitude...not all Millennials have it, and some GEN X'ers do...so I'm not generalizing this attitude as being all Millennials...it's the attitude that bugs me (not my problem, not my responsibility, not my fault and worst of all...unjustifiably proud). I once had a guy blow through a yield sign and almost plow into the side of me. He pulled into a business a block away so I pulled in as well and advised him (nicely) that he missed a yield sign back there and almost hit me. His answer: "well, I'm not from around here". No apology, no thanks for letting him know...nothing...just it wasn't my fault 'cause I'm not from here...what a friggin' douche attitude. Had another guy pull in front of me (I am driving a Class 8 vac truck...very heavy and hard to stop). He cut me off then slammed on the brakes in front of me to make a left turn. I dynamited my brakes to avoid killing the guy (I would have driven right over him). I tapped the horn to let him know that what he did was incredibly stupid...and I got the finger for my efforts to save his life. The problem with the attitude is that it is destroying the civility of life. What happens is we who would otherwise be kind and courteous begin to lose that...what you're left with is the whole world ticked off at each other instead of respecting each other...and trying to justify it.

Humboldt Broncos Involved in Bus Crash
ABNuck replied to RUPERTKBD's topic in General Hockey Discussion
This is the main story image on NHL.com...story headlines "NHL community reacts to fatal bus crash involving Humboldt Broncos": Either this is a horrific oversight (ie/ the TML don't represent the entire NHL regardless of what NHL.com thinks) or it is the most shameless advertising ploy in the history of modern man. I hope it's the former... -

Cardinals (NFL) franchise is now pro sport's "Kings of Komedy"...67 years and counting -
[Official] Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball thread
ABNuck replied to The Stork's topic in Off-Topic General
So the Vancouver Canucks just moved up one spot on the pro franchise futility list. 46 years and counting... -
As a fan I have found that to be true in just about every season...I don't believe there's another NFL team out there that loses more games by a FG or less or in the late 4Q as the Chargers...it's tough to watch (and even tougher to be a fan...but hey, the Charger Girls! Am I right?)

Can anyone explain to me please WTF is going on in San Diego? Only the Falcons have scored more TDs this year (we're tied with the Steelers) and yet we're 1-4. Is it because we're giving up too many? We're +10 PF/PA so I just can't figure it out. Crap luck I guess.

OK one more fave (Jeff Healey cover - Stealers Wheel - "Stuck in the Middle with you"...nobody slides the geetar like JH!) This one goes out to Bo Horvat...how he must feel when they put Vrbata on his line. https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KIo9TrEwdXmHYAiwIsnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBzM2wzMzdjBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMjI-?p=Jeff+healey+stuck+In+the+Middle+with+you+official&vid=c2e475caf341548316f6f06670ac1b8a&turl=http%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.Va9f10f32aeb0acfefb45378dca7f3e67%26pid%3D15.1%26h%3D180%26w%3D426%26c%3D7%26rs%3D1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DpkQLb3NHvCA&tit=JEFF+HEALEY+BAND+-STUCK+IN+THE+MIDDLE+WITH+YOU+%28STEREO%29&c=21&h=180&w=426&l=247&sigr=11bg3j8no&sigt=11nojqnug&sigi=131dlvr6b&age=1296554009&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av&fr=yhs-mozilla-002&hsimp=yhs-002&hspart=mozilla&tt=b

Nah, standard 10 player pool with 13 man playing roster + 11 on the bench. We have 5 keepers from year to year. I inherited the team with Megatron, Charles and Gronk. I traded for Brady this year (easy trade 'cause my opponent gave up him), and I got Beckham Jr. by trading Hill and Olsen (steep price that left me without a legit RB2 and TE2, but I drafted Randle and I can use a WR in my TE2 slot so I got Tate - he'll outscore any TE not named Gronkowski anyways). Brady and Gronk got me 62pts last night...I'm lovin' it.

I for one am glad the whole Pats media circus is done. Now let's play ball. I'm a Chargers fan, been one for decades now...but in my football pool I don't have any Bolts players. I've got my Pats and Seagulls to carry me (Brady, Gronk, Seahawks D, LB and kicker). Added to that I've got Megatron, Jamaal Charles, Beckham Jr and I think I'm looking pretty strong this year. Oh... and GO CHARGERS GO!!!

2nd line in 3 years: VIRTANEN-HORVAT-BOESER Now we're talkin'...

Just a quick question...and I apologize if this has been answered already: If the standing were to remain roughly the same as now at season's end (1. CGY / 2. EDM / 3. SSK / 4. BC / 5. WPG / 6. HAM) would BC get the first week bye as the top team in the East?

I actually had a gut feeling about last nights game and picked up Douglas right before kickoff (he was slated to be Ryan's #1 target during the game). So with so many fantasy points thrown around you'd think I'd come up big? Nope...Douglas scores me 7 points...that's it...7. What was the final score ? Like 108 to 10 or something? C'mon Ryan help a brother out...toss a few more ball to your wideouts!

A wife finally nags her husband enough for him to join her at the mixed couples golf night at their home course. Things start out well but by the back nine the husband has grown weary of his wife's complete lack of golf skills. Finally on the 16th, as she sets up ahead of her husband on the reds, his patience had reached its limit. Not wanting to wait for her to shank another ball into landscape oblivion, he tees up on the blues and strokes a line drive. To his horror the ball fades hard in a line drive right into the back of his wife's head. She is pronounced dead on the scene. A week later the county coroner summons the husband and his physician to the morgue to discuss his findings. He declares "without a doubt the cause of death was the golf ball which entered the back of her skull and drove 3" into her brain. But oddly enough that wasn't the strangest thing we discovered. We also found another golf ball lodged 6" deep up her rectum." The husband boldly pronounced "not to worry, that was just my mulligan."

John and Peter were driving truck one day when they happened upon a sheep with its head stuck in the fence. John slams on the brakes, hops out and yells "I'm going to get me some of that action". Peter jumps out running after John and asks "can I get some of that action too?" "Sure!" replies John. Peter then queries "Do I have to put my head in the fence too?" True story...

@ Motzaburger: You can't cyberbully your (by the way THIS is the proper use of the pronoun "your") way into being right...you can certainly delude yourself into being right. Central Scouting / ANY team's scouting lists, rankings etc have PROVEN to be inaccurate over the years...not opined, but proven. Ask a dozen of your friends to make a list of the 10 BEST NHL hockey players of all time, and you will get a dozen different lists. That's AFTER they've played in the NHL...with many stats etc to back up their claim. So how do you expect anyone to be able to make an accurate ranking of players who have yet to play one shift in the NHL? And another point: they're making a ranking of players based on what? Who's the best goalscorer? Who's the best checker? Who's the best playmaker...or goaltender? You can't compare players like that. Aaron Ekblad appears to be the BPA at #1...but what if Florida has no use for him? Rankings kinda don't mean a thing...and again, year after year Scouting services have proved their uselessness by being wrong about how a future player will turn out.

Trade #6 and a prospect for a scorer. It always amazes me how many Canucks fans in one moment demand instant results (Stanley Cup now now now) but in the next moment trade NHL ready players for prospects that won't provide results for 3-5 years. It's like CDC has ADD. You know which teams are stacked with high end prospect talents? HINT: Take a look at the draft order from today.
