  1. Yeah, there's another 4+ minutes of my life that just goes by in a mist. Pick it, pluck it or tap it. Misa can do all of them as needed, and sometimes all of them within the same song. regards, G.
  2. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/rangers-vs-giants/2021/05/10/634153#game_state=live,game_tab=,game=634153 regards, G.
  3. So, you're making enough for everyone here...? regards, G.
  4. I suspect that there would be some NHL players who wouldn't might doing it, but there's a wrong type of glass getting in the way of drinking. regards, G.
  5. The Canucks are just putting him a position to succeed, right? regards, G.
  6. While looking up different influences of the various band members I found this group, which is a Saiki influence (not what I would have expected): regards, D.
  7. Something which I neglected to ask: any Who song in particular? regards, G.
  8. I have to admit that I was never a big Who listener, even back in the day. "Thrill" was written, composed and co-arranged by Kentaro Akutsu. He is (I believe) the greatest non-band member contributor to Band Maid's song list (see below). A while back I went looking for any information on who might have influenced him in his song creation, and didn't find anything (however you can find out his blood type very readily... wtf Japan?). The thing that most of these songs have in common (other than the people) seems to be that, as time goes on they aren't performed in concert all that often, nor is there a MV for them (other than Thrill), which is a shame as there are some pretty good tunes in there, BAND-MAID® ( Gump Records ) Be OK Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® " MAID IN JAPAN " 2014 Evergreen Kentaro Akutsu Masahiko Fukui Masahiko Fukui BAND-MAID® KEY Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® Bye My Tears Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® Knockin'on your heart Kentaro Akutsu Masahiko Fukui Masahiko Fukui BAND-MAID® Big Dad G-YUNcoSANDY Kentaro Akutsu Masahiko Fukui Masahiko Fukui BAND-MAID® Before dawn Kentaro Akutsu Masahiko Fukui Masahiko Fukui BAND-MAID® FORWARD Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® Matador of love and passion Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® " Matador of love and passion " 2014 thrill Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® Summer Drive Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu Kentaro Akutsu BAND-MAID® Shake That !!

This also doesn't seem to get a lot of play (Miku lead vocals, but not great sound): The bass line/solo in Thrill is my favourite part of this song, well admittedly, anything Misa does is my favourite part of any BM song... there, I said! I have a favourite band member... although Akane is pretty damn good, and I also hold Kanami in very high regard. It's not the most amazing bass part in any song ever, but it's just right for what is needed (something which is pretty common with Band Maid tunes whether it's drums, guitar, bass or vocals). As noted on the above song list, Band Maid were involved in the arrangement for these songs, so Misa would have had a lot of say regarding the bass parts. Her influences are groups like Smashing Pumpkins, and I never got a connection between them and the Who. regards, G.
  9. A live version of "Thrill" (by Band Maid) from their February on-line concert. Biggest difference between when this song was first released and now? Miku is actually playing the guitar she is holding, rather than her just holding a guitar in the original release. 2014 version. I'm not a huge fan of this particular song, but it's not bad. regards, G.
  10. Pilots. I like the dual meaning for the term "pilot". It may be associated with the airport, but it also has a nautical meaning so there is a sea and sky connection. regards, G.
  11. I cannot lie, the first thing that entered my brain was, "I thought Liinseman had retired..." regards, G.
  12. Yeah, a whipping, and then hanging... and then they'll go to work on you! regards, G.
  13. As has already been asked here (but it bears repeating), who suggested that Gaudette was worth a 2nd? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't recall anyone mentioning a "credible" source for Gaudette's value being that high. Another thing that comes to mind as I've been scrolling through this thread, is how it jogs the memory of another (former) Canucks pick/prospect from many years ago. There was such a whoop and a holler about how "Cody" (we were all on a first name basis with Cody...) was being failed by the team and "not being given a chance to succeed". When he was traded to Buffalo, screams of bad asset management could be heard. Initially, when Hodgson did well, fingers were pointed and people here were saying that his numbers (while playing with Vanek and Pominville), proved that he was a better player than the Canucks were saying. After a year and a half, Hodgson found himself without his wingers, and his numbers dropped, and then it was Buffalo's turn to be the team which failed Hodgson and not put him in a position to succeed. So, are Gaudette's current results (1g/3a/4pts/-1) an example of a player making the most of his opportunities with his new team, or is he just playing with a bit more drive and that energy will wear down as the games go by, is he just on a hot streak, or is it that he is just being carried by his new line mates? I don't see him being given a huge amount of ice time in Chicago compared to here (for the most part kind of similar to here - 11ish minutes). And when some of the guys on the injury list come back (later this year of next), who sees Gaudette playing ahead of some of them. My suspicion is that Gaudette will once again find himself somewhere in the bottom-6. regards, G.
  14. Hughes does very well, assuming that the puck doesn't cross over to the Canucks' side of the ice. I do expect that he will get "better", but better takes time. regards, G.
  15. Why not get involved in a 3-way...? I suspect that Ekman-Larsson would not want to come to the Canucks rather than go to a contending team (or whatever team he would like to be a part of). Arizona moves some of Ekman-Larsson's cap (25 - 50%) and get something from the third team (pick/prospect/player). The third team gets Ekman-Larsson and some of his cap, and the Canucks get a pick/prospect for keeping the remainder of Ekman-Larsson's cap (and maybe hand over a lower pick). Depending on just how much the Canucks keep would determine the value of the pick/prospect they get. I wouldn't mind Soderstrom from Arizona so I anticipate a high retention of Ekman-Larsson's cap by the Canucks. regards, G.
  16. So, they get themselves in cap trouble and bail themselves out by giving up assets? GMs around here are threatened with burning at the stake for that kind of activity, but it's okay if TB does it? How is that being exceptional at getting value? I looked at the trade history which I added to my original post, and outside of giving up picks and value in players, I'm not sure I'm seeing what you are seeing. Look at the Feb 2020 sequence where TB acquires Greco for Martel (both minimal cap contracts), and a few days later they move Greco and a 1st(!) to SJ for Goodrow and a 3rd. Where is the value for TB, or is Goodrow better than I recall? Bedtime. Thanks for chatting. regards, G.
  17. I've looked at TB's trade history (up until Feb. 2020 as the site I'm looking at hasn't been updated and I'm too lazy to go look elsewhere) and aside from one definite home run (Sergachev for Drouin), and a couple of borderline wins for TB with the Rangers and the Canucks (both of which involved Miller, but both were cap related type of dump trades), I can't say that I see any huge wins for TB in getting exceptional value via trades (that's a long sentence). Maybe they have gotten an extra 6th round pick (great if they actually pay off in a decent prospect or can be used to fill out a trade later on), or maybe the guy they picked up was a borderline third liner (mostly 4th liner) but the guy they moved out was just a 4th liner. http://www.nhltradetracker.com/user/trade_list_by_team/Tampa_Bay_Lightning/1 (see below) I think the Canucks' trade history during Benning's time has been pretty good, maybe not as great as some might hope and perhaps with reason(s). Signing UFAs might be an area of contention where there is room for discussion. All in all, I see more in the way of major wins, few "losses" of any significance, and a number of small results, none of which would shake the foundations of the franchise. Wins: * The Toffoli deal was pretty good, up until the cap/re-signing thing got in the way, but the deal was good (and the cap/re-signing is a completely different issue from the value of the trade). * Acquiring Miller was an outstanding move. * Pearson for Gudbranson was a very good deal. * Schenn (and a 7th) for Del Zotto was a win. * Jokinen and Motte for Vanek was a win. * Granlund for Shinkaruk was a win. * Sutter (and pick) for Bonino etc was a borderline win, but only due to injury issues for Sutter. * Bieksa for a 2nd was a win (considering...) * Lack for a 3rd and a 7th was a win. * Kesler (etc) for all the Canucks got for him was a win (considering...) * Getting Dorsett for a 3rd was a win (another injury affected result). * Getting a 2nd for Garrison (etc) was a win. Losses/draws: * Vey turned out poorly, in part due to circumstances IRL. * Getting Baertschi for a 2nd didn't turn out as well as hoped in part due to injury issues. * Kassian/Prust was not as hoped, but Kassian had to moved and it took a pick and agreeing to take on Prust in order to get it done. * Gudbranson/McCann, I was okay with the deal but perhaps something better could have come from it. regards, G.

  18. Who are Miller and Booser(?) who have assists tonight? I almost didn't notice them in among all of the regular scorers... regards, G.
