I'm actually Cookie from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

eww wats wrong with u people gross 

@Spoderman

nope 

first day with my new fingers.lol

that is crazy travella ! talk about dodging the bullet !

I wouldn't have blown it up in 2011 or after 2012, but after the year of the Torts.... ya

@Bur14Kes17 Edler is a different person with different values. What Garrison and Bieksa did has no effect on Edler. With the benefit of hindsight, I'd have started the rebuild after 2013 though after 2014 is more realistic. we got Boeser after the 2015 season so even the good finish that season didn't rob us of a good player.

Worse than Keenan and Messier? Are you deranged?

And what about all the folks who agree with him? Because trust me, there's a lot of us.

Hillbilly american mentality at it's best.

I like Don 

from a time bygone

though he's never liked cellys 

from Jagers salute 

to duck duck goose 

Without him coaches corner is moot.

heres a few random shots on some of my adventures 

You may want to consider increasing your ISO in most of those cases and upping your shutter speed, the apparent blur is normally caused by unsteady motion when capturing the image or by improper manual focus.  even in some cases an auto focus which is slower than your clicking the shutter.

The DoF or depth of field in some of them shows that you're using an auto program on your camera, if it comes with settings on the dial reading 

A

S

P

M

They stand for 

A:  Aperture

P: Priority

S: Shutter

M: Manual

Aperture controls the amount of depth of field, and is beneficial in a lot of cases where the camera will read for you.  Shutter is all but useless as conditions change literally by the fractions of a second, P is priority mode giving your camera complete control similar to Auto function but without flash and M manual allows you to control both aperture and shutter speed and is all I use.  

The beauty about this day and age is that digital allowsd you to make thousands of mistakes free of charge on an SD card so shoot practice shoot some more, it becomes second nature in a week or two.

The trick is to keep shooting everything and learn that camera inside and out.

 ya ive been shooting a bunch more with the manual focus on and it in m mode   how high a iso should i shoot in 600 800 2000 4000  400 wont it be super grainy if i go over 1000 iso

asia is beautiful 

havent been to surrey since i was like 18 im 39  my buddy used to live on 64th and 128th so id go visit him retarded would try fight me for no reason   id just avoid trouble scariest places ive been was capitol of nicaragarua  called managua and  teguagalpa in honduras  there were gun battles at night  i was in hotel scared for my life  that place was scary  puts surrey on its ass 

very cool.  My pics are only of the scariest trip I took - I did the elicite drug route from Abbotsford to Surrey.   Not pretty, but I did see a lot of "mules" carrying cargo. 

You can do better than that, slappy. I get it though, you're sensitive and I pushed your little buttons. 

I'm dead inside so if you found a button, let my mother know. 

You still can do better than that. Or maybe this is your zenith. Only you and your empty soul know for sure. 

I'm likely to be in the minority here, but I don't really have an issue with what the police did. Did they go overboard? Maybe. But people have to stop acting like idiots, imo.

From what I read there were way too many people on the skating rink. An officer came up and asked the people to leave as they were in violation of public health codes. Seems like people basically ignored him, so he called for backup to enforce the bylaw.

I may have read the article wrong, but seems like all the officers were wanting is for people to disperse when the guy got in their faces. This may be simplistic, but if he had just left then we wouldn't be talking about this at all.

Not sure why people are surprised at the outcome. I'm also not victim shaming. Just suggesting this could have been avoided had the guy simply left as he was instructed to do.

hmm, don't think you can go that far with it Jazz. There are good police. The problem is you don't know which one you're getting. If you argue with a cop like this kid did, you're taking an unnecessary risk. 

Jimmy, the good police are the ones who aren’t policing. They’re involved in the community, and they’re connecting people. Policing is inherently restrictive and they have license to act as they please. They have a monopoly on violence, represent the state, often don’t live in the districts they patrol, and are traumatizing for many racialized people to even have in the vicinity, which leads to a lot of violent interactions.

erikssons contract is untradeable  and  has a ntc 

@Green Building

I woulda fired his sorry ass after the draft.

Landy- on the block, not traded

Ducheesey-... 

What's going on, Joe?

Seriously. Remember when Nonis traded for Luongo and was temporarily Jesus? I do. And he was. Sakic hasn't done anything but sit on his beans for years. 

Remember when no GMs respected Feaster/Weisbroad and they kept Cammellari (Cause Burke) didn’t like the offers. 

Now theirs no respect for Benning/Weisbroad..think it’s time to fire Weisbroad.

the fact that you feel so strongly against the deal and team direction only reinforces my belief that it was a good deal and that the team is definitely moving n the right direction.  I can set my clock by how many times are so completely wrong in a day

@HI5 I think you may be on to something, because generally speaking its the AGM who does most of the preliminary talks and fielding of inquiries by other AGMs around the league.

I'm wondering if Weisbrod puts a lot of people off, which has his AGM counter parts speaking up to their respective GMs who decide to cut bait and move on.

Exactly. He's such a baby tbh.

a golfing baby just like the maple laughs 

I'm glad Vegas is out but you are nuts if you think that deserved 5 minutes or even anything at all. That is not even a severe enough crosscheck for 2 minutes in playoff hockey.

  ya he plays  25 mins a night we have no one to replace edlers minutes if hes traded we wont lose 9 in a row wed lose like 30 in a row.  If im benning i ship out hansen, sutter, sbisa, miller and tanev 

 frees 20.5 mill in cap  get picks, a sniper for tanman, and few younger pieces.

 baertchi horvat eriksson

sedin sedin rodin

burrows granny virtanen

gaunce chaput skille

dorsett

 edler stecher

hutton guddy 

pedan tryamkin 

biega 

fire the coach start with clean slate  resign bo, guddy, hutt, granny, gaunce, rodin, tryamkin, pedan, 

let biega or dorsett get grabbed at expansion 

  all though pieces moved at deadline should  get us a bunch of assets moving forward let benning fibd a few more draft gems with extra draft picks a bunch of teams would massive over pay for tanev if they are going for cup run  hansen has a ton of value as well 

ship out hansen, sutter and tanev ?  Baaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa  

Thanks for the '+' travella... I'm sure I will get you back at some point.

...but I gotta go with Mr.-Double-D here.

zucker and pearson are almost identical in stats this yr and over their careers   only dif tanner having a better yr and makes 1.75 mill less  soo ya not sure hes worth a first 

Zucker has scored 20goals in 5/6 full NHL seasons, he's had a 30 goal year, plus he is signed for 4 more years, plus he was traded at the deadline where prices are disproportionately high. This was Pearson's 2nd 20 goal season of his career and only has 1 year left on his deal. If Pearson scored 25 goals in 2020/2021 and was signed for 4 more years and/or we traded him at the deadline (wouldn't happen bc we would want him for playoffs), as was the case with zucker, then maybe. But as it stands, you will be hard pressed to find a GM willing paying a 1st round pick for 1 year of Tanner Pearson, imo.

If his play keeps up at this year's level (which, if he stays with Horvat next year I wouldn't be surprised if it did), then I could very much see him being in demand IF  we end up selling on him next year (which could happen if any of Lafreniere/ Hoglander/ Ferland are knocking on the door for a permanent top-6 role).

According to their website, they have 16 forwards and 6 defense. I think it wouldn't take an overpayment.

Package him in a blockbuster for Landeskog or in a smaller deal for Kane. 

kanes a cancer and landeskog will cost us virtanen plus so no thanks 

Softies living in the past wouldn't last a day inthe NHL.

Edit- of course J beat me to it...

Linden.

I want Ohlund back

i want peter striko and bert back baby lol

 if we get one of these guys we should be very happy bryam, hughes, kakko, cozens, broberg.  If im benning i ask edler  to go on cup run at deadline  get us some draft picks for tanev edler and sutter  nilsson delzotto plus clears 19 mill more in cap   which can go to resigning boeser and petersson when their elc expire 

Some people seem to think that JB could just drop 1-3 of our dmen and instantly replace them with above average players. I'm sure the fact he hasn't is not for lack of trying, rather that it's easier said than done.  

This is why I'm happy with the Juolevi and Hughes picks, we can't rely on trades or FA's to improve our blueline,  thesedays, it's got to be built through the draft.

At this upcoming draft here in town we should once again try for high end D talent unless a real bona fide sniper is available.

Draft the defensive talent to help us be contenders because defense wins championships.

A bit of luck at the draft would really help speed up the rebuild, because with the "lotto draft" it all about "LUCK"

Btw your face somewhat reminds me a cross between Prust and Shawn Matthias.

I was thinking Prust too!! Like a ginger Prusty!

after my heart operation, they said i could expect to live another 10 to 12 years.

Your doctors' bedside manner sucks.   It's better than hearing something like you'll croak soon, but putting an expiration date on you is definitely not cool.

clarke and schmidt are rd available early this year.

gimme owen powers if were missing playoffs.

Tryamkin isn't coming back. 

Owen Power can play right-side which I think would be a huge asset to our team. 

Hughes-Power 

Juolevi-Schmidt

Rathbone-Myers

All of a sudden we've got a great young D. Benning knows how to address the problems with this team. 

EDM would still probably match, and i hate the idea of offer sheets because we dont know if draisatl would even amount to what he's doing in EDM right now. the only offer sheet that i really know where team A tried to eff team B was the kesler one and that worked out great for us, to match it

It would cost us 4 1st round draft picks, thats why. With that we can get a LD for free over the next 4 drafts. 

Let the Oilers keep their assets and put our faith in JB that he'll build a better team then the Oilers. 

@HerrDrFunk That's my preference too, just a solid vet to back up Markstrom. 

 brock and demko are untouchables to   

a vet backup a 1.5 mill would be reasonable 

@goalie13

Loui got 4 million in bonus for this coming season on July 15th.  

I'll be surprised if they waive Loui tbh. And if they do it probably won't be any time soon. If they can fit him into the lineup they'll probably bite the bullet and utilize him defensively. He's still one of our better players in that regard. Loui probably fits in on a two way third line. 

His contract is a poison pill in regards to his production vs cost but while "little things" has become a bit of a joke he's far from useless. For some folks there seems to be a misconception that he is. Is he value for what he's making? No, he's not. But he still brings value as a player. If he was making what Jake is people wouldn't fuss. 

Actually, scratch that. Some people would. 

It's wonderful to be able to do these things, and then again the first forest fire can have your dreams and  finances crushed.

Not trying to be a downer just trying to give some reasonable advice.

The people of California want to move out into the lust forested areas to build million dollar mansions and don;t realize those fires are brutal and non forgiving.

 fires thats what insurance is for plus u plan on using a bunch of stonework on cabin cant really burn stone  im not to worried about  forest fires i lived near christina lake in 2003  when kelowna burnt down you could see trees exploding.  when i build cabin il clear bunch of trees out so its protected im really not to worried

its gunna dip 5-10% at the most but thats going to be neighbourhood to neighbourhood not everything gunna correct( condos probably get cheaper).  Real estate correction already happened last 2 years, and it was brutal. This coming recession isn't real estate based.  If Your in the main cities , a lot of the jobs are going to be coming from real estate. The prices are going to stay the same in south coast. in the kootenays prices should go down but a lot of oilheads move out there. They're gunna be flocking here, alberta going to be a welfare state for 5 years at least.  so i don't know about 15-20% correction. it all depends on inventory, are there a lot of acridges out there available in that range?  just keep making low ball offers, shoot ur shot til something sticks take it as a sign its meant to be. otherwise your gunna pay 80 grand anyway. it could go up too

Anyone know the deadline for Hughes to make that decision?

Pearson (U of Michigan coach Mel Pearson) says by the end of next week is when he thinks Hughes will make a decision.

May be longer, JB is on holidays until the week after no?

why don't we just move the team to quebec and we'll never be disappointed again. we can just pick the team most likely to win the cup and cheer for them. 

Smithers Joe.

Wisdom of Solomon. 

i jumped on caps last yr always wanted ovi to get a cup soo its like first time a team i wanted one  it was amazing heres hoping canucks do it  in next century. 

You're pumping Gaudette's tires an awful lot. I like what he brings but he's got a ways to go. That and you wanna ship out two surefire top four guys and do what? You realize any D of similar caliber we try to bring in is gonna want more money than either of em right?

There's a reason that you almost never see players that are traded at the deadline resign with the team that moved them.

I'm all for moving Sutter and giving Gaudette a shot though. With Beagle as a veteran center to help him along, he should be fine, and Sutter might give us a pretty nice return.
