NHL'er Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Was it a Ritz or a saltine?? Quote Yes, it was a cracker, but Brent Sopel is not saying if it was a Ritz or a saltine. Sopel knows the circumstances of his back injury drew some chuckles earlier this week, but said Thursday that for him it was no laughing matter. Sopel missed Wednesday night's series opener with Dallas after suffering back spasms at home when he bent down to pick up a cracker dropped by his daughter.

Won't say it will affect OJ long term, but will say i was very vocal about wanting to trade edler after the same surgery. Hoping to see OJ at camp completely healthy but backs are very VERY tricky things Just read what I wrote...never write anything via phone. Had meant to say exact same nature of injury. Not exact same. My bad. My name is Warhippy, and I like to fearmonger 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has played and payed taxes in the US there is this weird myth that zero State tax means zero tax. Effective local and state tax in Nevada on median incomes is 7.4% and in California it is 8.8%.....Federal taxes same. Difference is overstated (or simply misunderstood) by most. From what I can see, for a single NHL player making $1M/yr, in California he would take home $544k, while in Nevada he would take home $637k.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/olli-juolevi-ready-canucks-camp-despite-back-surgery/ according to benning he should be training at full pace by August, which gives him 30 days, better then nothing.

Canuck Surfer Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 10 hours ago, tas said: the Canucks have been completely open in situations like that in the past. why lie this time? I think @DeNiro was probably closest. When he mentioned the timetable related to when the player authorised it, based on best feedback he had. It is true you try and rehabilitate some injuries, see how they respond. In a different world? I was always curious the year Kesler waited till deep into the off season to have surgery with a 4 or 5 month recovery. It was the same season AV sorta called him out? Suggested his injuries were no excuse for playoff performance. Even then, I speculated he wanted out when it was just a rumour, not common knowledge. Then, like now, I suppose I should not speculate? But in any case, it just goes to show how much say the player has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch ! Talk about total crapolla. Our Rugby friend from CDC was there. His post didn't jump out like it would on CDC as it wasn't the 'most negative' by a country mile. I think that's why he likes CDC so much. His negativity draws attention on CDC. On HF, he's just another Sean the Sheep. Kudos to the CDC moderators for keeping the Artys of the world elsewhere.

Someone brought up the fact that his back may have been sore and I simply said, "sure it could have been....I don't know". That concerns you that I didn't know? He didn't look like he had a sore back to me this past season but if someone else knows more about it, some implied they did, I was not able to refute them and stated as such. Again, that concerns you? To you Noah or the current Canuck's 7th is worth more than OJ. To me, that is not the case. Still not the case. You could break his leg too and give him the measles and it would still not be the case. OJ is a special talent that I project to have an outstanding career. Noah has some holes in his game that concern me in areas that OJ does not. The 7th could be a crapshoot as it is an unknown at this point. You don't agree with my perspective. That is fine. Your opinion is NOT a fact. You are NOT your city. Again, I will ask you - have you even watched this kid play or do you get your "insights" from other people who don't watch him either? Cheers from someone else who follows the Canucks! 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News flash, hockey is a tough game. Take a look at ANY professional hockey team and how many players play a full season and/or have a procedure or three after a season is done. More players than not have injuries during a year of some sort and more players than not have "issues" to repair (including just giving things rest/time to heal) than players that don't. Your team had a statistically high number of injuries the past two years (so did Anaheim for what it's worth) but those do even out over time. Again, professional hockey is a tough game - even the pre-professional game can be tough too as CHL kids often show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to pick on one of the Negative Ninjas/ tough guys/ never ending blah, blah guys. It would open an ugly can of worms that would go on forever. Really shouldn't have picked on anyone. Vain attempt at humour. Would love it if CDC had a list of banned posters. Edited June 12, 2018 by SingleThorn spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
