Hellebuyck watch. Edm or Tor ? Or Chicago ?

Currently just on CDC, although I have thought about trying out at those amateur hour pub nights-or did until I gave up alcohol. -

Gurn replied to MaxVerstappen33's topic in General Hockey Discussion
M and M would win. Clark had a bad back and wasn't all that good a skater. And in todays age Gilmour would likely be in jail for the babysitter incident. -
E.P. and Hughes may well leave, no matter what the Nucks do. Hughes might well want to play for an East Coast team, to be closer to his family E.P. may decided that planes rides from New York area to Sweden are so much shorter as to be worth going to a different team. Not a single one of us truly knows. So why let the worry of them leaving, have anything to do with how you build the team.?

People seem to be confusing the idea of 'cap trouble' with not being able to get under the cap. Then saying we have no cap issues because we can get under. It is, of course, possible, and required, to get under the cap. The issue is getting under the cap, and still having a team that can make the playoffs, or even come close.

[Report] Maple Leafs part ways with GM Kyle Dubas

Yet if you compare Dubas led Leafs to the Canucks of the same time frame- Leafs win. And the thread is about Dubas, -
[Report] Maple Leafs part ways with GM Kyle Dubas
Gurn replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Seems people are heaping long term incompetence at the feet of Dubas; however he was named GM On May 11, 2018 4 years as head guy. I'm fine with him stepping away, I'd be fine with the team letting him go. I do note that his team has made the play offs every year with him as boss. Looks better than other teams have done. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Akito Hirose
Gurn replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I just had a peek- and the UK loves them some Chris de Burgh- not like the Germans love David Hasselhoff, but still kind of weird. 3 top 10 singles. #1 in 1975 with "A spaceman came traveling' #1 in 1986 with " Lady in Red" #3 in 1988 with 'Missing you" Albums placement is even more 'wtf" he had albums #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 -
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/want-to-know-how-hamilton-police-used-its-279k-armoured-rescue-vehicle-it-ll-cost-you-over-5k/ar-AA1bncyG?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=6701e44df6cb4fe6a2a746ed3b7c54d7&ei=30 " Hamilton Police Services (HPS) has had a 15,000 pound "armoured rescue vehicle" at its disposal for 10 years. It first hit the streets in June 2013, police said at the time, to evacuate people from extreme situations, protect officers from gunfire, help in off-road situations and move obstacles. The truck, which cost taxpayers $279,180 and stoked debate about if it was really needed at that cost, has also been used at community events. But despite using the custom-built vehicle for almost a decade — and being asked about its use in the past — HPS says it has never created a system to track how often the vehicle was deployed, used, where it was used and why. CBC Hamilton filed a freedom of information request for those details, along with maintenance costs since 2012. "The HPS freedom of information unit said, based on its interim estimate, the vehicle has made at least 1,000 trips, but doesn't have an exact number. And among those trips, it's unclear how many times the truck was actually used. It's also unclear how many times the truck was used in extreme situations versus training, community events or at the gas station for a fill up. HPS said it would take 10,000 minutes of work and cost $5,060 to get details on those 1,000 trips — and the service added the true cost of the request could be much higher given the vehicle has probably been deployed over 1,000 times. CBC Hamilton is appealing the interim decision by HPS through Ontario's privacy commissioner. Policing advocates and researchers say the response from Hamilton police raises questions. "This is all an excuse," John Sewell, a member of the Toronto Police Accountability Coalition and a former mayor of Toronto, said. "Surely they know how often that vehicle has left the garage." The HPS freedom of information unit said the service didn't track the data because it never had such a request before. Back in 2014, CBC Hamilton asked about how many times the truck was used in 2013, but was told HPS didn't have the numbers ready. Glenn De Caire, the police chief back at the time, declined to answer any questions about it on Wednesday. HPS didn't provide an interview and spokesperson Jackie Penman didn't directly answer questions about why the data hasn't been tracked. Penman said the truck is "regularly deployed" and last year, police put roughly 2,000 kilometres on the vehicle. It's unclear exactly what the 2,000 kilometres entails, but Penman notes it includes training. She also said HPS has spent $60,490 on parts and labour on the vehicle, including an engine replacement. Kevin Walby, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Winnipeg, said he thinks HPS would likely have a "simple log" with info on the truck and it shouldn't cost thousands of dollars to get the information. "Every bullet … is numbered, tracked," he said. "I find it pretty hard to believe deployment of this vehicle would not be." Walby said if they haven't made a log of the truck's movement "the only other answer is it's a complete waste of taxpayer dollars and it was just a toy they bought for which there is no use." But Walby thinks that isn't the case because he thinks there is a log of the truck. "If they want us to believe this is the last stack of paper in Canadian policing, I think that tells us something about what Hamilton police think about journalists and the public," he said. Pat Mandy, HPS board chair, said Thursday morning she hasn't heard anything controversial about the truck. "I'm not quite sure why it's coming forward right now … there's lots of special vehicles," she said. Mandy said there are "millions of things we can ask about" and said if there were concerns about the vehicle, the board would ask HPS. "I understand it's very useful for the safety of public and officers," she said. The truck was made by Terradyne Armoured Vehicles, a company based out of Newmarket, Ont. HPS previously used a refurbished 1969 Brinks truck. Hamilton police aren't the only ones with a truck like this. Police in Toronto, London, Peel, Durham, Ottawa and other Canadian cities all have armoured vehicles. Terradyne's website includes the following specs about the truck HPS has: 6.7 L V8 turbo diesel. 300 HP, 660 lb-ft of torque 6-speed automatic 4x4 shift on the fly. 4.88 ratio limited slip differential 40 gallons Tires on the vehicle are rated for speeds of 110 km/h 15,000 pounds

I just see them doing stupid stuff to try and make the play offs. I see a few suggesting trading the 11th over all for cap space- which we do need. Folks will say it takes years to most drafted players into the NHL. So I can foresee a future where Miller has 3 yrs left on his deal, and is producing at a .5 per game clip- but we have no young guy to pick him up, by playing better than the young guy's ELC. Sure- maybe they actually win a cup in the next few years. Only need to add a competent back up goalie have Myers and OEL return to top 4 level d performance- or replace them. have adequate 5/6/7 th d men added size up front- and on d added snarl up front, and on d added quality penalty killers - so E.P. and Hughes can get more 5 on 5 time. develop the 2nd unit power play find a good quality 3rd center decided on a adequate 4rth line center add over all team speed and develop the farm/depth so that they can survive a few injuries. I'm hoping for the best, but not expecting it.

Miller's deal, to me is: a bit too much to a bit too old player for way too long. If we were an actual contending team, or even a 'pretender' team; I'd be inclined to ok with the deal. However the Canucks aren't even an assured wild card team yet. When cooking, ingredients are important, but so is when you put the ingredients into the pot.

[Official] Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball thread
Gurn replied to The Stork's topic in Off-Topic General
I'm getting a bit concerned that Buck Martinez is starting to decline. Couple times today I think he called Aaron, Eric; Year long he seems more prone to just repeat what Dan said, than branching out into his own thoughts. Hoping it is just me, and admittedly I'm dealing with a parent that is starting to slip, so I can be over alert to this.? -

seems like they should walk him every at bat. I'm sure some one has done the math on this? , but I'd be tempted to take the sure thing, than gamble on him hitting a hr(62) or a double (28)
