Afraid

is there anyone left out there ?  seems like a lot of them are here in rupert fishing, camping    .spreading their alberta bugs.

$&!# weather so people don't go out to clubs. I know I would rather stay in my hotel room if its raining/stormy

lol, one degree hotter than Van and it's not going to rain for the next 3 weeks straight 

If you're getting responses from people like Squamfan, you'll see a very biased opinion.

Juolevi isn't lighting the world on fire yet but he's FAR from a bust. We have yet to see him play so no one can say if he's good enough or not.

People sour on him as if the Juice ain't worth the squeeze.

Just neeeds a fresh opportunity in the hot summer, is all...

He's got the potential to be an AHL superstar.

did you use to live at the north or south poles? 

Essentially what I got and love! It will be free shipping and lifetime warranty...

And these...

Both are expensive to begin with, but if you are serious, you won't be disappointed.

If you are just looking for a small bar and plates. I would suggest garage sales or kijiji or something similar. Many people impulse buy, use it 2 or 3 times, have it sit awkwardly somewhere while being difficult to move and then just want to offload them asap.

until they pull their groins and can't pull into Stacey for 4-6 weeks

An honest, well-run league

@-AJ-  I wasn't saying Bo isn't a second line center ,but if   you wanted more production from the bottom 6  wouldn,t Bo being on a third line do that?   besides that you can never have enough centers or dmen  on a elite/ playoff team .Most of the Stanley cup teams have 3 good centers , a PP quarterback , and a shut down d man . Almost no teams have a 1-2 punch like pitts ?   I hate to break to you , we have Mc david and Draistial in our division ,  so ya I think we need a 2nd line center 

Bo having to shut down the league’s best lines takes away from his offensive. 

Aweseome Post. 

Lost my dad  / best friend last year and i think of him almost every day........  Pictures / memories just pop into my mind at any random time.....        Yup - happy fathers day to all the dads out there.  Hug your kids... time goes way too fast....

He was amazing in a small role in Henry V. 

@Ghostsof1915 I am going to have to watch this.

you are wishing him a good sleep last night ?

was he having problems with sleeping ?

Yes of course, thats what Friday's are for...

Well, so are Saturdays..... actually...

Vodka and then switched to Shiraz so far for me tonight......

yesssssss!!!!

Guy hasn't played a real game in like 6+ months.  Going to be a while before he can get back into shape.

canucks will need to go far

to reach the hub location

where they will do their play in round to see if they get into the playoffs

i hope they stay healthy in a a less covid-19 savvy jurisdiction

not sure why the team really would want to leave bc

where our medical leaders

have made this the safest jurisdiction in north america

they should insist the league choose the safest places to re-open

not the undisciplined ones where there will be health risks

the nhl has the opportunity to show really leadership on this virus issue

but they really do not have the stones

and prefer the easier money approach

The kind of humour we all love and need.

d4n's posts reek of ignorance and white privilege. I gave up trying to talk sense into these types a while back. I don't have the energy, nor the will to argue with Trumpkins

^ PS I am not white; I am Sikh and I have had to deal with my own share of racist attacks. 

But what I am saying is advocating rights for one group of people while completely ignoring everyone itself is selfish and discriminatory. 

What I don't understand is why people aren't advocating for better police training..

End of agreement. 

The all-lives matter bit just minimizes the issue of racial inequality, and there's clearly an issue with that down in the US and even in Canada. It's pretty obvious some lives aren't valued the same as others. Dismissing race as unimportant because it's a social construct is also naive, because despite being a construct it has historically had significant impact upon society's around the world and continues to do so.

The same could be said of gender, gender and sex are different things. Sex refers to biological differences between males and females, such as genitals and genetic differences. Gender on the other hand is a social construct and is less easily defined. If you argue that all genders matter a lot of people are going to respond with bigotry though. 

Also, using wikipedia as a source is pretty weak. Yes, whites make up a large chunk of the US prison system but they also make up a significantly larger chunk of the actual US population. It's much more nuanced than simply saying whites end up in prison more. 

The US has the largest prison population in the world. This number will vary but this source is pretty recent. As of May 2019 the US imprisoned 655 people per 100,000. I'll even use a US source. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2019-05-13/10-countries-with-the-highest-incarceration-rates?fbclid=IwAR3mBzGtmZAb9kLqj9qpAsyymecuDV3pAZPtFdh7eccbaGQ-GSUjYkrDEws

A quick google search tells me that as of May 2019 the US had a population of roughly 328 million people. 655 imprisoned per 100,000 in a population of 328M makes for quite the prison population. Again, those numbers have likely changed. 

Now here's the thing, minorities in the US make up a disproportionate chunk of inmates in and attached to the prison system based on how much of the American population they actually make up. I've even got a source for it with it's sources listed that involved actual research, unlike a wiki article anyone can edit. https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/color-of-justice-racial-and-ethnic-disparity-in-state-prisons/?fbclid=IwAR3yQgTBo4ZE5KW0XXG0yltZFd6C8ZzwbffOtcjqllOxPF7yTr3BrmZ35gE

The number has probably changed slightly, but as of 2016 1 in 55 U.S. adults (nearly 2 percent) was on probation or parole. That's a huge number. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-briefs/2018/09/probation-and-parole-systems-marked-by-high-stakes-missed-opportunities?fbclid=IwAR1qdHy8ZtfjqK7e6yzeBmJXDM_htiAUALh3gdC4bVQ3xtqAKtWwqL1tPnA

Why does that matter? Disenfranchisement, in this case it's the removal of one's right to vote. Being a convicted felon seriously impacts one's ability to vote, and how it impacts one's ability to vote and for how long varies from state to state and the legalities likely shift from time to time thanks to a number of reasons (who's in power in a state at any given time, public opinion, legal challenges, ect). https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-voting-rights.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1qdHy8ZtfjqK7e6yzeBmJXDM_htiAUALh3gdC4bVQ3xtqAKtWwqL1tPnA

Now, let's be real here, the US has historically been $&!#ty to minorities and those in power don't like giving up that power. In the US those in power can use the system in place to directly impact voting totals and who can and cannot vote. If you don't think those in power aren't also aware that they can directly impact the minority vote by charging them with felonies for reasons both legitimate and not I don't know what to tell ya.

Minorities in the US don't just have to contend with racism and all it entails, but with a system that can actively be utilized to suppress their vote. So come closer to election time, if you read that minorities in the US aren't voting it's not just because they're not interested (some won't be, a lot of people choose not to vote for various reasons) but likely because many of them simply aren't legally able to.

or visa versa.

But if we win it's all good. 

Wearing a mask at the winning riot kills 2 birds w/one stone

Rioting after a Canuck win. You better believe that's a paddlin'

@Chicken. I never knew that..which I probably should because literally live 2 mins from there..You learn something new everyday...stupid corporations, stealing my childhood!

@Heretic  I played most of my minor hockey there. Still drop by sometimes for stick and puck and drinking a few pints @ 'The Thirsty Penguin'.

Yep, we got the B-8, numerous other practice facilities around downtown, games could be held at Rogers Arena, Pacific Colosseum, UBC, hotel accommodation everywhere, and we're not getting demolished by the virus. (vs other provinces, states) How is Vancouver not the perfect hub city?

@Chickenspear

Don't forget the Agrodome! Hastings minor hockey baby!

Wouldn't mind wearing it around Calgary last year after they exposed the Flamers for the joke that they are.

If we beat Minni in the proposed play-ins, we would play the Avs in the first round. Hopefully the Canucks could play around with the Avs like your dog will play with the shirt.

dude thats not where drumsticks are supposed to be used for 

@Phil_314 Some indian tandoori wings bro..I can finally say, Like Ice Cube...'today was a good day'.. #nomoreburn!

@nux4lyfe Haha I have not heard anyone call tandoori wings spicy before (then again my palate's probably all effed up seeing how I used to like spice and probably at least some of that still lingers)
