He is a nice looking defenseman. Last year I was hoping we would get Niemilainen, this year Rasanen will be a nice choice, but on all rankings he is rated as a late 3rd.

Lockwood was a late round pick also but Jim jumped the queue

The bridges and Roads there are all falling apart . They duct tape the bridges so the rocks from overhead don't fall on your car and crush you . So my guess is they don't pay a lot of taxes . Oh and the Quebec government are dumb as nails

A cozy 40+ percent.
But hey, if you make no money, the government actually pays you

Give and take i suppose.
Best Hydro rates in the country.
Best social benefits.

If you have kids, there's no better place to live with our crazy maternity/paternity leave and essentially free day care and post-secondary education.

La Belle (socialist) Province.

Edit: Most importantly however, we have the best looking, most sexually active chicks in N.A (Stay away Dragon)

They have the highest provincial income tax rates in the country, anything over $103,000 is taxed at 25.75%. BC on the other hand is only 14% over 108,000.

There are a few of them in Vancouver ( 2 or 3 ) and one in Victoria. The porchetta is a standard at each place plus each place will have their own signature sandwich and each has a daily special. A limited menu but freaking good!

I went to Pronto awhile back and enjoyed theirs.

Knowing Quebec's history with the Fed, they will likely come out with better terms in the next round of negotiations (specifically, if the Libs are still in power).

Besides, we built your province back in the day, paybacks a b!tch.

Matt Bartowski might play tonight for the Flames.

I personally don't care if we win or lose. Losing is better for the draft pick ,but I find it very hard to cheer against the Canucks.

The point I did want to make is to those that think we are miles behind the Flames.

Both Baertschi and Granlund have more goals than Johnny Hockey who was playing 4 th line last game.

Flames also have grabbed numerous Canucks scraps . Shink Vey Higgins Bartowski Raymond .

I have to say I like our game plan more than theirs at this point.

Yes their forward core is better at this point but that is where it ends,

- VANTEL


Last game Johnny played double shift most of the game after chiasson was ejected ...and there's is no GM in the league including yours that would take either of those over Johnny

And as for the game plan ...your going about it more similar than you realize ...trading picks for fill in players and overpaying free agents until the young core is ready
