[Mark Messier is an abomination and his Canuck tenure should be wiped from existence]

Chucklef--- Oilers and Rangers fans who thinks he's only second to Gretzky when it was Sather that surrounded him with players who carried his sorry ass constantly.

[Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you CDC]

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

 

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

 

I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

He supported it for many years but it occured to me as I woke up that, given the new management's controlling behaviour concerning team communications, they might be behind this cancellation. Free opinion, freely given, prevents the branding of the product with their own image. 

The features have always had a style in keeping with a strategy of keeping all things anodyne. I kind of see their point though, given the gratuitous savagery of much of the commentary on the board. Seems we're too immature to handle such freedom.  

 

 

 

Yeah but of all the forums out there this one is the most pro regime, no one is going to want to deal with the banned idiots over on HF or Reddit who are likely Oilers and Flames fans in disguise trashing this team at every chance.

All I want to know is where everyone is going. 

 

My money definitely isn't going to the Canucks any longer except for the occasional game.

Reddit is slightly more palatable than HF, but you still get the same breed of sycophant in both places.

TF is this, have to deal with the HF or Reddit Sycophants? Has April first come early?

Yes, female. Truth be told, I don't remember if she was a cheerleader or not (she certainly could've been). She has a very unique first name.

My sister was a BC Lions cheerleader back in the 90s and she said one of her colleagues won that exact thing on the Price is Right.

My cousin was on it years ago...won a dining room suite.

Sorry if this is a weird question, is your cousin female? Was she a BC Lions Cheerleader?

[Bob Barker passes away]

One of my lighter "regrets" in life was never going on the Price is Right while he was the host, growing up with him in the 80s and 90s was awesome. Especially sick days or pro-d-days, in the mid-late 80s, we had all morning covered. Cartoons until 9, then Sesame Street, then TPIR, then Canadian Sesame Street.

I don't think this is the one but if I remember right for the official 1994 team photo they cut out a picture of Jeff Brown's face with an exacto knife and stuck it on top of one of the dudes in the actual picture.

Haha, I had that poster, I always wondered why his face looked so weird compared to the others.

I hope so, Nucks always have a problem with spending way too much on FA's every year.

We need depth though, not big tickets, fixing the PK/defense should be perfectly reasonable to do via free agency.

Why is that a thing though? There are tons of other mediums to get info out there.

I think when the Kings won their cup in 2012 Bettman got cheered (or at least didn't get booed)

Yeah because suddenly the refereeing in the playoffs was conditions favourable for Kings style hockey. 

[Can we start a go fund me for Bedard to go to the NCAA?]

I know this sounds like a joke and I get that, but seriously, he won't go to the NCAA because of the risk against both present earnings and potential future earnings, but if we got say a go fund me that raised 10 million wouldn't that be worth it?

 

Just to f-ing shove it in the murder capital's faces would be worth it enough.

Can’t cheer for the Kings. They have been trying to take the fun out of the game for over a decade. 
Will cheer for fun over boring all day. 

They wanted this garbage when we were the best team in the league, their fans can wallow in it AFAIC

Brutal.  
Why is this on the government alone?  
The Catholic Church should be paying at least half of this.  
 

Also, as someone who is fully against our government and the Catholic Church, why the duck are my tax dollars going towards this?    

Im horrified by the history of the church and Canadian government and have never supported either.   
 

I want no part of this, including my already incredibly high taxes.  

This is kind of the funny bit, living in Europe I've had a discussion with some of my Scottish and Irish friends when they talked about "English Colonialism" and Residential schools. I pointed out to them that every one of Canada's founding fathers was either Irish or Scottish Catholic, the look of dumb on their faces was unsurprising.

 

I know that's really simplifying a larger issue, but I think it needed to be pointed out at the time.

Ok apparently it's top 5, don't understand why though since the Broncos are 6th leaguewide, anyone care to explain?

As a teacher,  im very conflicted.  On one hand, the ability for students to generate an essay they didn't write, that is not detectable with plagiarism programs is really unsettling.  I can't imagine how university profs are going to handle this.

 

On the other hand, I think I can really use it in the classroom as a teaching tool.  Structurally, they are pretty solid essays and for the young students I teach, who are just learning how to write an academic essay, it's a great modelling tool.  

 

It's f***ing crazy anyway you look at it 

 

Sorry but isn't essay writing already outdated? I remember when I was in highschool over 20 years ago, "Write a 2000 word essay on a [insert subject here] " and the subject was always completely uninteresting. I don't know how school is now but back then it was heavily favoured to bookworms, I was never a bookworm.

Young men must have their fun. I am not going to judge them. Most boomers reading this never had N rules and it specifically said moderate levels of alcohol. So in their time, the driver did nothing illegal on that front. 

 

But I will fault the parents if they allowed their kid to buy a car like that and took no high performance driver training. Everyone thinks they know how to drive. Or ride. I dont have a son, but if I did, I'd stick him in a racing school for awhile before he bought a hot car. I own a 2005 Corvette.

Most boomers reading this? I'm 41 and I had N rules. What do you think is CDCs average age group?

 

Completely irresponsible and definitely illegal. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't N drivers allowed to only have one non family member as a passenger as well?
