Military takes control of Myanmar
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to King Heffy's topic in Off-Topic General
Maybe after another 20 years of house arrest she will rehabilitate her public image and win another peace prize -
Which GoT House would George R R Martin put them in?
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to Googlie's topic in Off-Topic General
Well that info about Fire and Blood is an interesting tidbit for me to think about. I still think Martin missed the train hard by not writing faster like... JK Rowling. D&D wouldn't have had to wing the last seasons. He could've turned the whole thing into something huge like Star Wars (or Harry Potter). It'll never be as big as it was during the show's run. Shame. -

Game of Thrones completely died after that horrendous finale. Not sure why you're trying to bring it back from the dead. -
This is an interesting take on a slow, ongoing trend in the NHL. The league has definitely got faster and has also been getting younger. I can only assume this pandemic will accelerate that process. I think when you have three kids and are confined to your home, priorities can start shifting away from professional hockey.

Ohh, These Conveniently Timed Injuries...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Are we gonna pretend that there haven't been fifteen threads where we want Ferland and our boi Loui to go on LTIR -
I don't know if this is a bigger dig at golf, women, or Michelle Wie. In either case, Wie has been a career disappointment. Injuries and general inability sent her career into a spiral. But she was young, pretty, American, and had a good drive. I don't get why you're using her as an example. Yes you can golf at a high level into your 50s, but the sport sure takes a toll on the body. You cannot make the argument for poker as it requires zero physical ability or hand-eye coordination. You would have to make the case that chess is also a sport. For me sports must simply require physical ability to the point where it can cause a strain on the body, as well as mental competition. Curling qualifies. Golf qualifies. E-sports makes it. Darts and pool do not. Chess and poker certainly do not.

I heard about the abuse thing with Zverev. And Tsitsipas did hit his dad during the ATP Cup. Mom was there too and ripped him a new one. Almost funny to watch. Anyways it's crazy how Medvedev ran over the world numbers 1, 2, and 3. Classic Thiem overcooking his shots.
-
Are you watching the same Medvedev? He is as much of a hothead as Zverev and Tsitsipas. Kind of has this jerk attitude like young Djokovic where he kinda relishes the hatred and plays the heel. Shapovalov is a player I actually dislike a lot because of his attitude. He is just like the rest of them. He needs to fix his temper if he wants to succeed and become a legit star. Young tennis is full of immature jerks right now and I hope some of them are able to mature. Thiem is 27. Older than what you'd think. Crazy that he only won his first slam this year.

I am super-sold on Dominic Thiem. That open-body backhand is crazy to watch. I didn't know you could so much pace on a one-hander while off-balance. Luckily Vancouver has had dry Saturdays so I've been trying it out myself. Really fun stuff.

The Official European Football (Soccer) Thread
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to Scottish⑦Canuck's topic in Off-Topic General
You are trying to fight a monster far older than President Trump. You are trying to fight FIFA. There is a completely different level of corruption and politics in soccer. Name a sport where the governing body has more control than FIFA. -
Adam Gaudette’s role as a Vancouver Canuck
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to Patel Bure's topic in Canucks Talk
Wanted some way to confirm this but it seems they only kept track of this starting 2008, the year Linden retired. -
Don't know of many question marks making the all-star team. What on earth are you talking about...

[Signing] Red Wings sign Troy Stecher
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
A big IF on Pietrangelo, of course, but if we get him, he can still only play 20-23 minutes per game. But it also we means we are downgrading our offense. We lose Toffoli, a legitimate top-six forward. My mistake about Boeser, but we still need at least $10 million next offseason to re-sign Pettersson and Hughes. Troy Stecher is literally twice as valuable as Fantenberg. He was a very good bottom pairing D-man for us and a decent middle pair guy too. We might get a spare RD off the FA market, but it's becoming more clear to us that Benning will have to count on some rookies to make the big jump. -
[Signing] Red Wings sign Troy Stecher
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Because of the dead cap space in our bottom six, the team doesn't have enough money to make upgrades across the board. Benning can chase after Pietrangelo but we will run out of money and lose Toffoli. If we re-sign Toffoli, we will run out of room to sign free agents and be forced to gamble with our Comet d-men. And if we try to make a trade, we will have to give up significant assets to acquire a top-4 RD. Either way, we will also have a cap situation next year when we have to re-sign #6, #40 and #43. This year showed what the Canucks are capable of, but we need more to become a legitimate contender. Stecher was worth every penny he earned here. He was a valuable to the team and was on a pretty cheap contract too. Because of our cap deadweight, he is worth more to us than normal. This headache could've been prevented if we brought back Stecher for something like a 3 year, $6M contract. Now we've got multiple holes and not enough fingers to plug all of them. -
[Signing] Red Wings sign Troy Stecher
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We don't have money to make those types of upgrades. If we want to re-sign Toffoli we run out of cap room quickly. Troy Stecher is a fine NHL defenseman and we know he can be trusted on the ice. At the price he signed for, it makes no sense how we lost him. If you as a GM on any team can sign a reliable bottom-pairing d-man with a right-handed shot for less than 2 million... wouldn't you take it? If Stecher plays as well as he did, this is going to be a great deal for Detroit and a stupid loss for Vancouver. -
[Signing] Capitals sign Justin Schultz

That's because you didn't have Tyler Motte's work ethic -
[Signing] Capitals sign Justin Schultz
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is the value of right-handed NHL defensemen. Do you want your kids to become NHL players? Put them on right D. -
There is a Canadian playing tomorrow. Her name is Leylah Fernandez. Some teenage hotshot about to face the #7 seed.
