NHL Draft to remain in June (Proposed)
Canuck Surfer replied to aGENT's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Why is trading Stecher obvious? -

We can already see the 21 % here in this thread. My ''liberty'' is at risk if I cant have the gun I want. As many guns as I want? Comparison that suggests the PM's knowledge of guns and what should be banned is akin to forcing people to drink from the wrong kind of beer can? LMAO. And absolutely tragically so! A gun registry is intrusive... Gun owners like such rules just like dogs like going to the vet.

Did I ask you to give up any liberty? That gun owners are inherently criminal. Neither, I did suggest the circumstance of people wanting no accountability in owning a gun? Is cause for concern. Pervaisive with those who abuse guns. Registration is just a means of tracking. Controlling some. I have met many who abuse a drivers license? And that liberty is taken away. Why are guns any different?

It may (not) shock you to know that many people do not see that as reasonable? And not just because guys really do deserve to have six ways to shoot a duck. Disagree. If a gun owner were truly a law abiding citizen? There would be substantially less objection to having their guns recorded / tracked as they are. And please explain why Australia proves your case? I live here now. One of ours went over and wracked up dozens of bodies in Christchurch. So while we are drawing parallels? Look at the US. Plenty of whacko factions. In every direction imaginable. Right wing, left wing, hispanic, KKK, Mafia, dudes in the hood. Who argue they need guns for their own protection. They dont trust the law, feel entitled to take the law into their own hands. ''I need a gun because I dont trust the cops.'' ''Because they don't have the right to search warrant mah shed on mah property?'' I have witnessed the same attitude in numerous places in Canada. Then they start drinking, snortin. See who can shoot an apple from a tree. Get all worked up, raise hell! Seen that abuse with my own eyes. And I'm going to say it, its just my opinion though. Within that stereotype, partners go missing. Daughter or son ends up on the street in the big city. Someone else feels they are a target. Its cyclical almost. Guns just escalate the intimidation if you are being naive. Violence if your being realistic. It should not. But it does end up there because guys have guns. This guy sounds like that. A little more sophisticated maybe. Fixated on cops. Burned a shed on his property, full of stuff owned by his neighbor. Neighbor too scared to confront or report that he had taken their dispute into his own hands. Had jealous rage confrontations & altercations. Himself would complain to authorities about locals he had issues with. Felt they did not side with him. All of these sorts of reports have started to surface. And now he has certainly gone off the deep end. To me it is disappointing, maybe unfortunate is a better word, that a guy with a track record of intimidation. Was not at least penciled in as a potential problem. And as he is / was becoming flagged? I think its perfectly rationale that the RCMP would feel it necessary to understand what weapons a potential offender has. I do agree serial criminals take the effort to have weapons that are harder to trace. But I also have seen way too much abuse to believe guns should not be registered. Way too much.

I enjoyed Winston Surfshirt BTW. On the off chance restrictions are lifted? They are supposed to play in Torquay near Geelong on the far side of town. I have a buddy who lives there. Could be a get out of the house moment.

[Report] Andrei Markov announces retirement
Canuck Surfer replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Rumours I read suggested he only wanted to sign with the Habs? But also only sign with the Habs if they paid him $4 or $5mill plus. Also also that he wanted to sign in the KHL so he could play in the Olympics. So Bergevin let him go to the KHL. Ce's la Wodka -
^^ Winston Surfsh!t! I'll listen to that in one sec. Just cuz. Had a good laugh just reading the title. Chris Rea has long, long, been one of my fave's. Road to hell perhaps his most well known. Espresso Logic less so but amazing...

The way he pirated trades; I always assumed he had no teeth!

Thanks @kilgore I agree. A lot of decisions, which may be unpopular have to be made. And a GMs most important critic is always his owner. I have no doubt, like any business, the owner expects an annual & 5 year plan. Then progress on both. Personally, I was very critical of JB at his 1 and 2 year anniversary stages. I felt we did not win, when we had our window because we only had 1 year with a top shelf D core. And as described earlier. JBs 2knd year he decimated our D. Hi 1st year he added Miller & Vrbata, did not improve the Defence. Tactically, not that I have supported every move. I became much more at ease when he started investing in our D. Lottery picks Gudbrandson, Juolevi, Hughes. More recently with Meier. Not that the decisions were perfect. In hindsight, maybe I would not have supported Juolevi or Guddy. But you cannot hit home runs without investing. And investing in all positions. I would not have traded for Miller. Nor Tofolli. Miller looks great in spite of my opinion. I support Benning as a whole. I like where we are going.
