Last summer I traveled to the US in mid-July with my passport expiring the first week of August. All they did was send me over to another desk to have it personally reviewed and handwritten in my passport when I intended to return to Canada.

Usually it will be up to some fool border guard to determine whether you can enter,if he or she has had a bad day ,who knows.

I have heard of people being refused flights because their passport was not up to date,over booking excuse mostly.Be careful down there.

I’ve heard of people being denied if it’s less than 4 months from expiration date. 

Like others have said your kinda putting your fate in some ones else’s hands if the say no it’s no.

:^/

I want those sunglasses! 

Wouldn't that be special?

GO JETS!   that is until the canucks rise up , then you can crash and burn  

My wife is a die hard Jets fan and they've put together a really exciting season. I will definitely be cheering for them during the playoffs. 

I actually don't think much of the Jets as I kind of always like having our AHL affiliate there to be honest.

If the Leipsic - Horvat - Boeser line fits we have potential to have a crazy top 2 lines

Leipsic - Horvat - Boeser

Tkachuk/Zadina/Dahlen - Pettersson - Lind

Gadjovich-Gaudette-Virt would be a nightmare of a 3rd line too.

boeser definitely has to play with the best set up man on the team

i think that will be pertersson .. so he has to play on that line

no disrespect to bo

but bo's vision and distribution skills still need seasoning

Guaranteed we'll wind up here again. May's well go 1948!

McDavid, Matthews and Eichel are probably the only players in the past few drafts I would take over Boeser. Maybe Draisaitl... The only reasons I say is cause they play center. Also Boeser > Laine

i really think a baseball approach needs to be take initially to assessing nhl players

some start out very nicely ala brock

then the league adjusts and they look less nice

some of the better players adjust and again establish their very nice look

some do not do as well after their initial burst

brock has some 50 games under his belt

his goal scoring has slowed noticeably

let's revisit this at season's end

or perhaps next year at this time

i mean .. look at bo last year

very fine start to his season

very unproductive finish

the better teams get serious in the 2nd half

and key on all the better players

I’m on board with @Baer.  I’d take Matthews and McDavid then Brock would be really close with Eichel.  It depends on salary too.  McDavid’s Cap hit lowers (to me) his value to a team’s potential to win.  Eichel at 10 mil is a lot.  If Matthews comes in at McDavid numbers that’s a negative for him too.  We will see where Brock comes in dollar wise.  Paying too much for one guy, can really damage a team’s winning.  

A bit outta left field, Apollo... 

So I'll counter in absurdity-

Let Aqua sell the land but only if he builds one of those Supersonic train lines from Vancouver to the Canucks brand new 26000 seat arena in Victoria, which he will pay to build. The train line will be named "Griffiths Line". We'll call the arena the Aqua Centre, because why the hell not.

Boeser stays a Canuck but we trade Virtanen for 3 first round picks, 2400 hotdogs and a 450 hectolitres of Lucky Lager.

Hit me up with 2 of those hotdogs, stat. 

Done. I'll even throw on 3 jugs of Lucky. But you gotta chug em

I can't find the original; this is as close as I got: 

@-AJ- Man... it was 5 years ago?! Time sure flies. 

I'm pretty sure Ewoks are tougher and can play better than Roy. 

@Tortorella's Rant PREACH! 
@Aladeen Hahaha love it! Cup! CUP! CUP!!! 
Man, it would be an amazing cinderalla story... Sedins in what could be their final years... lead a group of young men to glory!

Had a strange dream earlier this week that the Sedins finally won a cup...with the Carolina Hurricanes. 

I just want Vanek to be in that 30ish goal category so Benning can flip him for a 1st round pick at the trade deadline. 

Tanev was not tripped, he lost an edge and went down.  It happens

Apollo, you're the parent whose kids can do no wrong. You have demonstrated a pattern of irrationality in the last few years and have gone to enormous lengths to blindly defended certain players/ the team as a whole on numerous occasions. It's impossible to take you seriously. It's great you're an optimist and loyal fan, but when you post tired and outlandish statements constantly (such as the one you started with here) you're going to get called out from time to time. I will always stand by the canucks win or lose, but we haven't been that likable a team this year. Our PP has been dreadful since the 2011 playoffs, and no coach/player seems to have done anything to fix it. We still come at teams with the same 'all eggs in one basket' strategy. Our problems aren't the refs, our problems have been the same as they've always been. Not scoring more goals than we let in. Choking under pressure...etc

The nhl has brain washed you well.
