  1. Weird not having FA Frenzy/ Canada Day celly's today

  2. Gotta admit, starting to miss the summer activities (fireworks, night market, outdoor fests) that I had taken for granted.  Hope things are better for everyone!

      I hope so too.  I have been at home since March, and have always looked forward to Summer.

      Yup missing the bonfires and late night shenanigans with my friends.  One of my last summers to do this until we go our separate ways.

      thankfully

      the recent weather

      has made it feel like we are still in early spring

      and summer seems a month or 2 away still

      so gotta hang in there for a bit till summer arrives this year

      i'm thinking it's gonna be late

  3. Did not expect a big business like Starbucks to side so decisively against BLM... prepare for a PR nightmare

      The only food I'd get at Tims is bagels, tim bits, and farmers wraps.

      So because the employees still have to adhere to a dress code people think Starbucks is anti BLM?  Mmmmk.

      Starbucks company is coming up with their own BLC uniform crests thingys. for their employees.

      They want common uniform.  Fake news.

  4. Anyone on here with personal side hustle success stories?  Serious replies only, would like to chat with you.

      what is a side hustle? is it anything like riding side saddle?

      I don't know about side hustle; but buying rental properties and having multiple tenets is a good form of side income. 

  5. Curious, how have people been dating post-Covid?

      @smithers joe haha it does take awhile to become a diamond in the rough ;)

      @Pears same boat as you, and I wonder if that's because of both the high supply and demand with everyone largely stuck at home.

      @Phil_314 Most happened before the pandemic started and the most recent one, even though she’s a great person gave a rather questionable reason.

      I agree with Joe. Even at 53, I feel like all I'm doing is carbon dating.

  7. Anyone have experience sliding in DM's?  If you're the slider but (besides your profile picture) your account is set to private (on IG), anyone have experience in nonchalantly raising the other person's interest through your chat?  (And yes I'm straight up asking, give flak if you'd like but also credit for being ballsy enough to shoot my shot)

      @Cramarossa Is it weird if you sort of know the guy?  Right now it feels like people are conditioning guys to not approach girls and what not, because we come off as creeps.

    3. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      @BoKnows For me it would depend on how I knew him. If he was a real friend then ironically it would make me uneasy...like was he pretending to be my friend this whole time when really what he wanted was to holler at me? A friend of a friend or an acquaintance is a good middle ground- someone I know but not so close that I'd question their intentions. Stranger is tough because it seems too risky.

       

      Also, my personal feelings have changed as I've aged. I'm 30 now, and with hindsight can see that some guys I blew off as creeps in the past were probably well-meaning, just awkward or inexperienced. By that same token though my BS detector has been refined so I feel more confident in my own ability to weed out the bad apples. Also, after being burned plenty of times myself I have more of an appreciation for someone shooting their shot; now I know how hard that is to do without getting demoralized.

      @Cramarossa regarding @BoKnows question, I would've thought that it's perceived as more weird if the guy and girl didn't know each other, due to potential thirst (not counting dating apps)?  I mean it makes sense that lurking creepers posing as friends would be off-putting, to put it mildly, but I guess in this day and age the whole organic "meet your s.o. through friends circle" narrative is only a thing of legends and fairy tales?  Also it would be uneasy if he suddenly felt different towards you (changing from friends to interest)?  Guess the friend-zone is alive and well

      It's like you don't expect the boy actor from Home Alone to be as old as he is...?

      Rather have toffoli, especially with our Center depth....

       

      we must retain him it’s crucial 

    2. JM_

      JM_

      yeah maybe. Its a pretty sharp drop off in the last 1/2 of the 1st. I don't think anyone can say Jim traded a "1st rounder" but sure two 2nds and a 4th for Toffoli? thats quite fair if we retain hm.

  17. If you could be quarantined with any public figure (i.e. someone with some name recognition [e.g. athlete/ actor/ singer/ celeb], and regular quarantine rules regarding distance apply), who would it be and why?

      Myles Kennedy, Slash, Nikki Sixx, Sebastian Bach, Billy Idol, and Billy Joel would be interesting too.

      Prob a prime Norah Jones(provided she brought along her piano, & wore something lacy). Nice sultry voice for lullabies.

      Marky for sure, TSN prob just picked a name out of a hat.

    3. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      Yeah tough to argue against the other 3 (Marky, Miller, Hughes) in front of him.  Might've been recency bias for us though, in that the newer high-achievers are more noticeable?  

      Also @Alflives wonder if the Eastern focus is all on prohibitive Calder favorite Makar so they don't notice the American stud on our blueline?

    4. Coconuts

  20. Trudeau speaking re: additional measures.  Might want to hear this

  21. POLL: who would you want to see as the starter, Domingue or Demko?  (I feel like it shouldn't be Thatcher right away, he's looked unstable and there's probably some nerves going on)

    Interested to hear your thoughts

      Demko. Period. If he wants to play he gets to play. Dominque is the backup, that’s why he was brought here.

    3. DADDYROCK

      DADDYROCK

      It doesn't really matter who it is with defense like that they are getting lit up.

      Without our goalies absolutely standing on their heads with defense like that they are buggered.

      A perfect example was Ayers coming in and because of adequate defense he won.

      I don't know if you have heard this but,DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    4. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      Demko might be the future.  Give him the keys to the car.  Other guy is just a placeholder that can be easily replaced.

  22. J.T. Miller's draft comparable was... Mason Raymond... how about that?!

      Mason, Ballard, and a first anyone lol?

       

      To think that Mason Raymond, Cody Hodgson or Ryan Kesler could have been potential captains on the Canucks had their careers worked out here. 

    3. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      I think people forget Raymond had a pretty serious injury as a Canuck.  We should be so lucky if Loui E is even half as good.   

    4. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      @-AJ- you raise a good point, he was a 50 point guy in his prime, but in hindsight their playing styles couldn't be more polar opposites.  J.T. is like a top-notch waiter, getting all the tips around the net and crease and delivering some shots of his own on the PP, whereas Raymond was as perimeter of a guy as you could get.  (could be hindsight bias on my part?  Hardly remember a time where MayRay went to the net like Miller does, probably due to how light of a build he had).

  23. Boeser made the cut on TSN Top 50 players, ranking at #48. 

    Now is the sound that I hear the raising of pitchforks and the gathering of a mob ready to drive him out of town?

      Boeser is under rated by some posters in here.  We have been spoiled by EPs and Hughes' immediate success, but in the whole history of this team we have drafted very few players that have produced like BB at his age.
