  1. The cashier at the grocery store told me my oversized box of chocolates was ridiculous. 
     

    I was offended.

      You should be. There's no such thing as an oversized box of chocolates. :P

  2. i'ld be super suprised if canucks beat winnipeg. might stand a good chance against chicago.

    just give us a good game, boys.

  3. the only team underperforming and looking as depressed as the Canucks are the NYI. Wonder if there could be a deal somewhere there to wake up two struggling teams.

  4. Refreshing CDC in hopes of an announcement of a coaching change.

  5. Is there something wrong with me if I am still excited to watch the next Canucks game? :P

  6. Who are some available GM’s right now?

  7. Canucks' coaches and some players have been boasting about how they're better than the other teams 5 on 5. Does anyone know what stats they're looking at? For the life of me, I'm not seeing this when I watch them. On a stats perspective, I'd like to compare if their view is definitely correct compared to prior years.

  9. I'm buying new computer for school starting January. Any recommendations on a cheap/good value computer? I like Apple, but it's a bit pricey. I'm not really into Windows, but I may go with it if it is cheap, or I may use the computer I have for everything or buy a used Mac.

      @brilacAnother choice is Costco (wait for a deal). The nice thing with Costco is that you can easily return it and they add 1 more year of warranty to the existing 1 year from the manufacturer.

      @brilacFrom what you said above, the first thing you should do is get a backup drive. I made a mistake of postponing it until there was a deal, and 1 day before the deal starts, one hard drive crash later and $1000 in cost to recover all my baby's pics... If you don't have one now, just copy it to Google Drive since that's free. There's a new Wifi standard that's out so you may want to make sure your next computer has that.

      As @King Heffy said, it will all depend on what you'll be using it for. For example, anything Art related, you may want to consider touchscreen, and that will add to the cost. If you will be running a lot of apps locally on your computer as opposed to just using the cloud (e.g., Microsoft 365), then you should value RAM. Consider waiting until Black Friday for some good deals. Go to redflagdeals for deals as well. Microsoft and Dell will give you a discount if you're a student. If you do buy used, then make sure to wipe it clean before using it.

  12. Majority of the Jack Adams Awards winners of the past 15 years are available: Torts, Bob Hartley, Patrick Roy, Paul Maclean, Hitchcock, Bylsma, Boudreau, Julien.

  13. Whats the best steakhouse in Vancouver or your fav steakhouse? Looking for some Wagyu steak. Thanks in advance

  14. I think Aquilini is lucky Seattle isn't doing well either. We'd be seeing a lot of jumping ship if they were.

  16. Uh-oh, McDavid just lost to the lowly Sabres. Fire Tippett time? ;-)

  17. Should we hire Roy as our next coach? Bring back Crawford? Who would you choose if you could have anyone that is available?

  18. Interesting that when Aquilini tweeted "Frustrating night", many people automatically assumed he was frustrated with the team's play. Maybe he's frustrated with the refs or the attendance or...

  19. Maybe it's just me, but as a visible minority, I didn't like hearing those taunts in that diversity ad. Will open up some wounds for some kids.

  20. So I disabled Facebook days ago. I don't feel any more "free" like some people report. I guess I wasn't addicted to it. I haven't felt a need to go back to it. 

  21. if your life story was made into a movie, what would it be called?

  22. Bo Horvat re-signed on September 8th 2017

    Brock Boeser re-signed on September 16th 2019

     

    People need to r-e-l-a-x. 

  23. Just saw a comments on twitter, where someone said JP Barry mentioned Petey is looking for term and 10+M per season.  Am I in the minority that doesn't like those figures?  He's had injury history already, so I seriously question that amount.  Personally, I think a bridge under 8M should be answer, and if there is term, nothing over 9.

  24. Benning has to be the front runner for GM of the year!  He’s having an amazing off season!  Way to go Jimmy!!!  :towel:

    I haven’t been this excited since I scootered by the big sign advertising those blue pills!

      Love your optimism! For me, I'll wait until we get a top RHD, sign Petey and Quinn, get a decent backup goalie.

  25. Seattle wants Holtby with salary retained...

    1. Vinny in Vancouver

      How much salary would need to be retained? I imagine that it would need to be based on how much the cost and rewards of just buying him out - i.e. cost of the buyout and cap space savings?
