  1. I'm a university student Panic is my natural state now
  2. TomorrowBet your bottom dollarThat tomorrowWe'll be contendersssss
  3. Nucks are lucky in that they're getting help from around the league. As much as I hate the Oil their winning stymied the Sharks, who've been on a run lately. Flames lost again too. Our division won't keep losing around us forever though.
  4. Easy to cherry pick in retrospect. No, it wasn't a good game but he was also hung out to try.
  5. Has a coach been fired yet this season?

      Has an NHL coach that has coached within the last thirty years been fired this season? 

    3. -Vintage Canuck-
  6. Problem with Greens blender, is unlike AV's, it barely seems to work
  7. If someone rocks Benn, Seguin or Bishop we can at least call that a moral victory. Moral victories, remember those? We might need to start digging them up again at this point.
  8. The numbers don't look good but I wouldn't blame him much tonight I didn't see the first one, the second one was a laser and the last one was on Baer
  9. What's unfortunate is the Stars are actually playing well lately, they're on a roll. I'm so frustrated with our powerplay though, we're struggling to score and it may as well be the shovel burying us. 0/4 and not being able to score 5v3 is garbage.
  10. How the &^@# are we 0/4? Our powerplay is bull$&!#. We'll score 1-3 in a night and then not score again on the powerplay for 4-5 games.
  11. He'll live to the grand old age of 93, have fathered several children and be grandfather to many grandchildren. He'll invest in clean energy and make more money doing that than he ever did playing hockey and spend his golden years maintaining his wildlife conservation efforts and thinking back to all the animals that weren't extinct when he was twenty-three. He'll also have a robotic monkey named Beebo that he takes with him everywhere.
  12. It's &^@#ed, the costs of housing continue to inflate beyond the means of most people. It's a complex issue. Raising the minimum wage doesn't help if the costs of living aren't being regulated as well. When you bump up the wage everything just jumps ever so slightly in response, the illusion of more buying power is mostly an illusion. In a capitalist society small business owners can't compete with billion dollar companies financially and therefore offer fewer jobs as wages increase. People wanna rent out rooms and suites and have someone else pay their mortgage and whatnot, knowing full well that somebody out there will pay what they're asking because of supply and demand. People dismissively invalidate those worker "lesser" jobs telling them to go find something more lucrative as if that's an easy and simple thing to do, life isn't that simple and the pool of people vying for those opportunities is much larger than the number of opportunities. I'm an islander, I'm pushing 30 and I'm back in uni doing what people so flippantly tell people to do, I'm chasing "a better" job. Who knows what the market will be like when I graduate given how people leaving the mainland are driving up the cost of living here. It's beyond frustrating and it's incredibly discouraging. I don't feel entitled to some fancy home but it'd be nice to not be gouged for wanting a roof over my head. I struggle in today's economy and it's not because of a lack of hard work on my end, there are so many people out there in similar situations. It's a contributing factor to childbirth being on the decline the last decade, people can't afford to live let alone raise children.
  13. I still want a trophy for the player who leads the league in assists.
