  1. Can you back that up with facts or are you just "taking poetic licence" again?
  2. Commercials that tick me off. all over Team1040 radio every commercial break they play debt consolidation (good idea) but also "we can reduce your debt by up to 60-80%". Spreading the idea that it is ok to run up a $100,000 debt because it will be reduced to 20 grand. I'm like wth am I doing wrong by having savings and no debt, when I can just borrow money and then not pay it all back. And then who pays for that debt that the originator doesn't? All of us, as the prices of everything goes up to compensate for those who screw up their financials.
  3. We now return this thread to it's regularly schedule topic: Jake Virtanen. How many beer should I have in my fridge for tomorrow's game?
  4. If 95% of coaches were hot heads, does it not stand to reason that most teams that won the cup had a hot headed coach?
  5. You said there was no child abuse back then, I am saying there was child abuse back then that had nothing to do with schools.
  6. So it is hypocrisy to heat a house, but try to reduce carbon., does that mean because every one dies they are hypocrites for not killing themselves?
  7. You said there was no such thing as child abuse back then and I called B.S.; disciplining a child is not child abuse.
  8. Yes, funny that people say the team needs to be better 5 on 5, yet the team seems to play well enough to draw a whole lot of penalties.
  9. So Jake is sitting at his dentists office and his phone starts going nuts with folk calling to say "What's up"?
  10. Maybe the Jays try a sequel " The Return Of Superman" ?
  11. Meanwhile in New Orleans https://ca.news.yahoo.com/11-injured-2-critical-condition-164508041.html " A total of 11 people were injured early Sunday morning following a shooting that took place near New Orleans’ French Quarter. According to the New Orleans Police Department, officers began hearing reports of gunfire around 3:21 a.m. local time. “Upon arrival to the scene, officers discovered multiple individuals had been struck by gunfire,” police said in a statement, adding that no officers were wounded. “Ten of the 11 total victims, two of which were reported to be in critical condition, were transported to local medical facilities for treatment,” police said, adding that “one victim was a walk-in at a local hospital.” No further information regarding the identity or status of the victims has been released at this time. A motive for the shooting is also unknown.
  12. He's 22 not 32. say we can't sign him to what Brock is currently signed for? Say alien space bats come down and give me super powers. Will I choose to fight evil or merely try out for a hockey team?
  13. Ron Francis speaks to the issue: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/francis-says-he-told-canes-brass-about-abuse-allegations-toward-peters/ar-BBXzTRC?ocid=spartandhp " It appears that someone might not be telling the truth. Ron Francis said Saturday that during his tenure as Carolina Hurricanes general manager, he was made aware of physical incidents involving two players and then-Hurricanes coach Bill Peters. Francis says he took immediate action and briefed ownership. However, three days ago, former Carolina principal owner Peter Karmanos denied knowledge of the event and said he would've fired Peters "in a nanosecond" if he'd been told about the abuse. On Tuesday, ex-Hurricanes defenseman Michal Jordan accused Peters of physical abuse, saying the coach kicked him while on the bench during a game and punched another player in the head. A day earlier, former NHLer Akim Aliu tweeted that Peters directed racial slurs toward him a decade ago while with the Rockford IceHogs, the Chicago Blackhawks' AHL affiliate. Peters coached the Hurricanes for four seasons before taking the head coaching job with the Calgary Flames prior to the 2018-19 season. He penned an apology letter to Flames GM Brad Treliving on Wednesday where he admitted using a racial slur, but he did not address the physical abuse allegations. Peters resigned as Calgary's bench boss on Friday. Francis served as Carolina's general manager for four years before he was let go in April 2018. He was hired as GM of the upcoming Seattle NHL team this summer. Karmanos is still a minority owner of the Hurricanes, but he was the majority owner from 1994 to 2018 before selling controlling interest of the club to Tom Dundon."
  14. Yes, but it is also a perception business. Trading players who are going through a rough time, and yet still able to produce almost a point a game, is not likely to win you any bonus points with other players. Setting that all aside why trade him? The guy is producing at a high rate, on a good contract, and is likely to get better as he ages. Point a game or better players are still rare in this league and at his money even rarer.
  15. 22 year old, just under a point a game player, while dealing with a father that is apparently dying slowly. No minders saying trade him. Some people have no class or empathy or logic even.
  16. So how many of the around 700 nhl players have 10 goals this year?
  17. Thank you for the link. " Only thing lawyers do is go after people's money. " So wrong.
