I saw that on the news...beat Spain in a comeback win. Awesome!!

When I was a young man, this sport was dominated by Americans, but it’s grown a lot not just here but across the globe. It sure makes international tournaments much more interesting. I hope women’s hockey can grow that much too. 

Sign Kassian to a PTO.

My neighborhood is either having an event this weekend or next weekend. I cannot remember, but I will check later today. And there's MLB All Star Week. Public transportation is free one or two of those days! 

I have to check out SeaFair in Seattle one of these days.

Oh yeah, SeaFair!  

Thanks!

Only about 2 days for me, and i only lost it when i got the O.G variant. I know some people it took nearly a week tho.

@Ghostsof1915 I tested positive over the past weekend 
@Citizen Erased yeah I was really fatigued too, slept two full days then got better thankfully.
@Eddie ah I see; do you know how did they/ you recover it?  Food tastes so bland this week and I love food so really hoping it's not permanent.  

VanSuya in East Vancouver is really good. It's probably the best Jollof Rice I've had in Vancouver.

But will it put you in the mood for this?

@Neil HD I SURE HOPE SOOOO!!

Regardless, I doubt we would qualify him anyway. 

The latter.  The QO is due early July - it's just to retain a players rights and doesn't guarantee that he signs a contract or makes the roster.  He's going abroad so he'll probably just pass on signing a deal.  Vancouver retained Tryamkin's rights by qualifying him when he decided to leave - had no incidence on their cap situation.  

Devils, Hail Satan

I want to add, having his brother, and maybe brothers, name on the cup is hella good motivation for Quinn

Canucks, of course! Getting a nice haul from the Islanders, getting a Top 6 winger with speed and size in Kravtsov, and a very promising C prospect in Raty. Beauvillier meshes so well with Petey and Kuzmenko. They pulled in another 3rd and two 4ths, and got a 25-year old Top 4 RD with a bomb for a shot. 

Probably Nashville

Honorable runners up are Boston, Ottawa, and Jersey

Same.

Only a LOSER wouldn’t agree. 

I have crossed mountains and seas

also through the sea of people

i used to have it all

In a blink of an eye, it's like smoke

I was lost and disappointed and lost all direction

Until you see that ordinary is the only answer

Miller

Miller, easy, if given the choice. Bo wasn't captain material. He is Hanks illegitimate son.

But I would trade them both if possible. LAST YEAR!

Neither at this point

same as I do when there are games. 
 

Trolling has lost all meaning to me.

Starting a Vermiculture. 

His existence as a Canuck.

Bubble Bo.

His 2-goal game vs St. Louis in the 2020 playoffs. Both goals were beauties.

Some times players see the play better than us. The puck deflected quite far ahead of him, and as a player he knows how fast the puck can transition up the ice with passes, so he knew instinctively he would never catch up and he doesn't skate like an idiot for it. 

Gonna get flamed for defending this lol. But just trying to be objective lol... 

Fair enough, though it's not a good look when it's clearly not your first time, you're going to be the priciest guy on the team cap hit wise, and other stars like Petey don't stop skating in the same situation.  If he's a leader he ought to put his money where his mouth is (act pissed, then play pissed and determined).

5 players demand trades and the team plays even worse under this locker room cancer.  The casino downtown makes some more money.

There’s always been heart and fight in this team. That’s why they claw back and never give up. That’s not the problem. They are second in the league in comeback wins.

Definitely Squid Game, because Alice in Borderlands has a horrificevent happening in the world outside the game

I guess so, so you'd outright playing for your life (with the potential for money) than fighting as a second chance of survival?   @Neil HD

@Bob.Loblaw agreed lol, just a way to give Canada some shine 

@Bob.Loblaw pretty close, I was thinking of this classic (until 2:14)

Wasn't too impressed with the pairings last night.  Guess Bruce wanted a look.  I'd try Burroughs at RD with QH.  If the OEL  Hughes isn't going to be a thing, likely have to bring back OEL  Myers pairing.

Burroughs was okay and Myers kind of let him down yesterday.  

Poolman was very solid last night.  His best pre-season game so far by a mile, which isn't saying too much.  He skated well, made some nice defensive plays and joined the rush a few times.  I can think of one mistake that he made in the first period, otherwise he was strong. 

D was excellent.  Coilers only managed 20 shots.

Thanks guys, good to hear that it's only a couple minutes to set the roster and add/ drop players.  @Master Mind @Devron thanks guys for the suggestions to join something on here, but I think I'll start with this one to see how it goes (haven't done one for more than 10 years now).

Also, any input on daily vs weekly leagues? 

If you're unsure about time commitments, start with weekly. Then if you find that you'd like to check in more often, maybe do daily the following season

I also think that family history plays a big part. One of my colleagues has aging parents with Scottish lineage so she places huge value on the Monarchy and Scottish tradition, plays in pipe band and even went to London this year to pipe for the Queen's Jubilee.  She's really devastated. The fact that it's a reminder of her own parents mortality is also a factor I'm sure.

I was 10 when Elvis died. I couldn't figure out the devastation among people. But a few years later when John Lennon was murdered that cut deep because I loved his music. You don't have to personally know someone to have empathy. The Queen was one of those institutions that despite the topsy-turvy world, it was unchanging. If something happened tomorrow to Elon Musk. I wouldn't care. Because I assume the company might be shocked and his fanboys might go into mourning. But the companies would carry on. But I don't criticize others for feeling compassion and sympathy. Hell I burst into tears when I saw a baby cub who survived a forest fire, with his paws all singed. (That I chalked up to months of Covid stuff, and I needed an emotional release.)

North Korea punishes it's citizens if they don't mourn loudly enough if a prominent figure dies

@VancouverHabitant, sunnies are sunglasses.  I have more than a few pairs. 

I have a heatpump fortunately, and work in air conditioned space.. but i feel for those without the luxury.. damn

Sweating...lots and lots of sweating.

I bet Vintage knows. I bet he can also see the future 

if we could land Marchment I'd be happy. We need bigger bodies up front. Would love to see a Marchment-Bo-Podz try out. 

Colin White might be a good bargain bet if we can get him <1.5. Lindblom maybe, with the Swedish mafia connections could be a nice bargain too. 

@Devron he's working on getting the drafts for the signing threads lined up as we speak
