So what is your suggestion? It’s easy to say it has to be better, but not so easy to do. If the public actually gave a (frank), then long term care wouldn’t have been privatized in the first place. And if the public doesn’t care, politicians sure as hell won’t.

Sad but mostly true.

Resources should be put into care facilities, this lockdown isn't doing anything to help them. Seniors are dying alone and depressed, we can do better to help them live their best lives. Unfortunately, we probably don't care enough, vaccinate the elderly and open this thing up.

Nobody here agreed that barrie was top 4 when I wanted to sign him.... he's a number 6 with pp chops

Tanev is a number 4, like Myers, we got a number 2 to replace him, upgrade!

- Pres.cup


I’m not debating weather Smitty is an upgrade on Tanny. But to say the Canucks “added” a top 4 d while everyone else did nothing is pure nonsense. Also, rumor has it Benning was in on Barrsey until the end, and I gar-un-tee you that had the Canucks signed him he would be considered a top 4 D in here...

Nobody would or had claim Barrie is a top 4 D. Why? He’s done nothing to be one.

I dont keep records, but I do not believe that you have never posted a lineup with Barrie listed on the first or second pairing.

I have before Myers signed but that doesn’t make him a top 4. Myers is easily better.
All it proved was where he would fit on a team not good on D. Listed doesn’t equate to true level. Barrie would be on the bottom pairing on any good D corps. Carolina

The movie The Krays was pretty good.


I'd be skeptical about Netflix claims about true stories. They claimed that Fargo is written exactly how it happened except for the names of some people...yet in a big gun battle, a huge UFO tries to land in the middle of it.

Great movie, Tom Hardy as both crazies.

One actually my question was how many players got over 8 mil

I player got over 8 mil. Laine Tkachuk got 7 plus mil the year before last.i will believe it when I see it.

I am still waiting for the 7.5 deal for Boeser

- VANTEL

6.75 and 7 million on bridge deals. Bridge, meet somewhere in the middle. Unless cap officially goes down, players are going to get the same cap percentage.

This came across my feed this morning. I don't know why the businessman just doesn't sue for slander.

Got to love how the residents that start this aren't willing to back it up.

Well said. Draconian lockdowns aren't the answer. In early spring of 2020 we locked down and did what we were all asked to do. The 'curve flattened' and all seemed good for the summer... especially in the Okanagan where it just seemed like business as usual which was great. Everyone knew flu season in the fall was going to kick this up. And if this 'vaccine' isn't as effective as they think with massive side effects will there be 'lockdowns' every 6 months? Bloody ridiculous. It's not about 'interrupting your life' it's about having a life. So the richest 1% gets to double their income over the past 9 months while the next 50% lose 30% of theirs. And the remaining people who have their life savings invested in their small businesses get fu*cked. Opioid and suicide deaths are rivalling or outnumbering that of 'covid' but no one really talks about that...doesn't fit the narrative I guess. But when China's puppet Biden is in I bet this sh*t magically disappears after the spring...

Before or after he signed his 4 years 6.25 deal that pays him a smaller cap % than his last deal of 5.5?

Speaking of Tom Hardy I finally got around to watching "Bronson" last night and I have to say wasn't overly impressed. Was kind of like a bad Kubrick wannabe film. It had moments but was very under-whelmed...oh well.

Just seen another ranking that again has the Habs finishing ahead of us. Does anyone know who is on the Habs top line yet?

Can't see how it shapes out any different then that if the CDN div is a go. Some have WPG high I just can't see it with that AHL D there. MTL is a bit of an anomaly but really maybe expectations are high there? lol

I have WPG high because of their size , skill , and goal tending. They have a very good forward group.

Very thin beyond the top 6 and the D outside of their top pairing is real bad. We saw signs last year of a slide. But yes they have a Vezina quality goalie which could even things up a bit...but not that much IMO.

Which Canadian Team isn't thin after top 6? Hell the Oilers are thin after their top 2

WPG got a replacement for Little on the 2LC. They .002 behind with that AHL defence last year

Enough scoring up front as long as they stay healthy. Not much different than Tor. Great for regular season, not so good for playoffs.
