  1. What happened to Pascal Laberge? His production has fallen right off since his draft year. I thought he looked awesome at the Top Prospects game in his draft year. 

     

    Maybe @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Or @theminister can chime in?

      Yup, all that.

       

      For a kid whose chief calling card has always been speed and energy, that's going to put you back.

       

      I know that Chris Pryor still thinks the world of the kid so they'll be patient with him.

      I've got a signed Tanev, never been worn (still has tags), that I'd be willing to sell for a modest price, if that suits your fancy. One hundred percent legit, straight from the team, and can prove it.

      Don't piss on the cat. They need to lick it off. They're harder to hose off than dogs. They don't care for it much.

      Sometimes that's just laziness or apathy. It can happen sober just fine.

      Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,
      David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,
      And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
      There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the turning of the wrist,
      Socrates himself was permanently pissed...
      John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was
      particularly ill,
      Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,
      Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle,
      Hobbes was fond of his dram,
      And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am."
      Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;

  14. I'm glad I learned about parallelograms in school instead of how to do taxes. It's really come in handy this parallelogram season.

      Thanks. 

       

      I think we still live in an antiquated mindset with regards to education, that your high school will be your only set for a large part of the population before you go get a job for life. That doesn't happen anymore. 

       

      Our current market in Canada has 80% of people pursuing secondary education at some point and often later in life, as well as multiple different times. People now are more likely to have 3-4 distinct career changed throughout life, and we have no idea what age this generation of school aged children will live to our retire at. The basic fundamentals have changed IMO. 

       

      Yes to literacy, basic maths, science and history. That should remain. But what we need to add is a contextual and applied approach to the execution in f that knowledge. 

       

      Literacy? Also read legal docs, resumes, the Charter, as well as Shakespeare. Maths? Also do taxes, budgets, and accounting. Science? Do local biology, nutrition, intense first aid, household chemistry. History? Make it living...it needs to be hands on. 

       

      And bs it should all be done every year and re-inforced. All other job skills can be learned after adulthood and chosen by the individual.

      Other things you become a full fledged adult without being mandatorily taught in schools:

       

      -The law

      -Your rights

      -CPR/first aid

      -Nutrition

      -How money works

      -How to make/build a resume

      -How to budget

      -How to survive in your local environment for three days without help

      -Plant ID

       

      Honestly, schools don't teach the basics of life and falsely assume that will be taught by outside influences. They're mistaken, and IMHO the complete focus on education should be changed from creating workers to creating citizens.

    After 13 years of being on different forums on the internet, this is the first time I have ever felt the need to use the ignore function. 

     

    After 7 years here I can honestly say this is the most annoying troll that CDC has ever had. It's not just trolling but it's the spaming of every single thread on this forum.

     

    Now I just wish people would stop quoting this poster.

      TZ, I've ponied around he idea of having a suggested ignore list in my sig but wondered if that was too counter-troll. It's up my alley though.

      Blocked him a long time ago. I really wish the Mods would get wise to his act. It's clearly only for the effect of riling up the less stable or naive segments of the fan base. He's the type that stirs up a witch hunt for the mob and then laughs about it at the pub.

      It slides each lottery spot depending on who wins each round, a team above or below them in the standings.

  20. I need a refresher. So basically OUR 2nd round pick was packaged into the Sutter trade correct? And the 2nd round pick we received from ANA we still have?

  21. It's really weird seeing so many Drouin posts and status updates because my last name is Drouin.

      At least your namesake can play hockey. 

      Of all the Scotts in this world...he's the only one in the NHL.
