You would have to get a good vet goalie back id think. And hed have to be Ok with being a back up. And kinda cheap. I dont see The Jets going into next year with Hutch and Hellebuyck.

Myers is a real good hockey player.

yay

Things run deep There will and are natives to lead the natives but your right its going to take along time and for a few reasons. A whole way of thinking has to be changed. The mentality of who they are has to change. And not just by natives but buy everyone else also. The gangster and or drunk bum on the street thinking its always some Indian has to go away. Im not saying its not always right... jus saying its a stigma that needs to be gone. Another thing is... Its impossible for natives to go about change alone. Its going to take some help and the second they ask for that hand or help its going to be said.... Oh the Indians want more help... give them something to shut them up and untill someone steps up n says no it will go on. Cruel cycle

Natives..... Not Indians. TY

Good post and again i agree but somewhat disagree. The natives know full well who is doing the abusing for the most part.... but they also really have no way of policing themselves. This is why im saying its the thinking of the natives that has to change. They need to take control of this. The problem is they dont know how. The thinking has been so screwed up for so long even the natives just say... oh well its just another native girl the white man will figure it out for us and when they dont... well the easiest way to get the white man to help is to start putting the blame on them. White man been abusing us for so long its them that are doing the abusing and killing.

I agree. I dont think the reserve has to go tho. The thinking and understanding of it just needs to be changed. The thought of this is what we have because the white guy gave it to us and we can only have whats given needs to change. The idea of thinking we are down here and the only way up is what the white man gives us is a huge problem because to many times what happens is that teaching and thought process leads into taking advantage of it rather then saying thank you but ill go get things on my own. Its not just natives that would think this way either its anyone.... Any people that are given things for so long will just start to think this way and pass it on..... Why work or try to better things if everything is given to us anyway. If you give a squirrel nuts long enuff its going to stop going out to get them and teach its young that nuts are free and there is no need to go find them.... be happy with the nuts you have.... no need to go find bigger and better nuts. Eventually you just end up with a bunch of lazy squirrels that want more and more free nuts. Another poster said this and i agree 100%.... no white man is ever ever ever going to fix this now.... the natives have to do it themselves with the white mans help. And when i say help i dont mean giving them things and or making it easy. Id love to see the day a white leader holds the hand of a native leader and says we are equal lets walk through life together. And actually means it.

I can agree and somewhat disagree with some of what your saying. Good post tho for sure. One thing ill point out from a personal view point that may explain some things maybe most folks dont really understand about natives that is changing somewhat but still has along way to go..... Most natives grow up and are followers and not tought to be leaders and this is a problem in todays and yesterdays native culture. The leaders are the leaders and the rest are followers... been that way for a very long time. Its no fault of theirs its just the way it is and always has been. Its one of the things thats a HUGE difference between say natives and other people that come to Canada or north america to better their lives or might just want change. The younger generation of natives growing up need to learn that the world is there for the taking and they dont need to follow. They can grow up and do and be whatever they want just like anyone else. Them protests that were held on street corners were crap and not lead by the actual leaders... they were lead by the rah rah im an native and this is my right and blah blah blah. Blocking traffic and stopping people from getting home and pissing them off was never the intention but once the rah rah type go hold of it it turned into a **** show doing nothing but pissing people off rather then bringing attention to the actual reason for the protest. Like i said... the younger generation need to be tought and learn they can lead and not just follow whats being told to them. The white man aint there to keep you down. Grow up and be proud your native and your culture... You have the same rights as anyone else.... the world is there for the taking and instead of waiting for things to be given to you.... just go get it.

Meaning what exactly? Sry i dont mean your family. You said the natives came from Asia. May i ask why you never had a convo with your grandma?

So they didnt come here and force others to live like them. Correct?

You know what,I'll take a stand and say residential schools were a not terrible idea that was just handled really poorly. Should a just assimilated everyone from the start then there'd be a lot less problems with reserves Clearly, you're not too familiar with the stated aim of the Residential Schools either. Their primary purpose was to eradicate First Nations culture, to get rid of "indians" once and for all. Explain to me how that can ever be "not a terrible idea"?Because assimilation is not a bad thing. Could have had just a whole bunch of Canadians rather than the government protected racism that currently exists. Signing treaties hundreds of years ago was an easy solution at the time but they have long lasting negative effects that manifest themselves in this day and age Seems to me the best thing would be for people to stop being pieces of **** and treating people differently based on cultural background. Assimilation is just the people at the top saying "you should all be like me". It's like Nazi-ism lite. no assimilation isn't a one way street, it goes two ways. Stop separating people into different groups and we can just all be Canadian and treat everyone equally. Treaties however just make sure racism and different groups being treated differently continues to exist. You are trying to grossly oversimplify the situation. You can't say "just stop separating people into groups" when people naturally self-identify already. Furthermore, the treaties were a legal document. This wasn't a bill of sale for a used BBQ written on a napkin -- it was legal title to land we now live on, land that is now Canada. The government has a moral obligation as society built upon laws to uphold the treaties; or at least the spirit behind them. No I'm not over simplifying. This is how the problem gets solved. I know full well what the treaties that were signed were and what the intent was. The problem is that they are legal documents that are guaranteed by the constitution of this country, and that's a huge problem and the #1 reason why most of these problems exist. When they were signed it was seen as the easy solution, put the natives out of the way and throw them a few trinkets every now and then and let them live their traditional lifestyle. Problem is that in todays society it is a terrible solution and completely unworkable. The best solution IS to stop treating them differently and make them all Canadian and treat everyone equally. When you have such a skewed number of impoverished people on reserves it is safe to say that the system is broken, but where's the push to change a broken system? You even bring it up and you're labelled a racist. Too much blame gets thrown at the feet of the government of Canada and they're expected to fix it, but they can't fix it unilaterally, self determination and all that, so basically it's just "give us more money because residential schools! abuse! ugly history! white guilt!" It's those treaties that are holding things back. LOL Well that doesnt seem right. The natives are native to this land.... that about as Canadian as you can get. Do i have this right? The white man comes here and brings their traditions and pretty much just throws the natives and their traditions away and now you want to make them Canadian? Odd but alrighty then. You know that Canada embraces people from different cultural backgrounds right? And encourages them to maintain those traditions right? Every country everywhere has been conquered by someone. You can either sit around wishing it weren't so or just move on and live in the world as it exists today. There is room for everyone to be Canadian and still celebrate their history and traditions. yup i know that. but you said " make them Canadian " That to me sounds like you want the natives to loose their traditions and embrace those of the white man.

I'm a huge fan of Indian Food!! I'm not a fan of people who are racists, but to hate on a word is kind of weird? LOL Not a fan of using the word to describe natives. Sry i worded that wrong.

Not a fan of the word Indian.

I doubt we move Pav. Unless we get a proven vet for cheap. Cant see us going into next year with Hutch and Helle or Comrie

I gotta think that because hes living in Saskatoon is enough reason as to why.

Myers n Stafford seem to get it... Maybe the others need more time.

Like the play of both Myers and Staff.... Lowery is awesome. Good 2 points.

Michael Hutchinson Starts in goal. Ladd-Lowry-Frolik Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler Tlusty-Slater-Stempniak Thorburn-O'Dell-Peluso Enstrom-Myers Stuart-Trouba Pardy-Harrison Go get em boys

Non play off teams trading aint a bad idea. If all non playoff teams are about equal in getting the first pick overall.

Ok well i found out a bit of info that may of may not be what your asking about.... So it seems there are 2 different kinds of game... Im assuming its a bit like the CFL and the NFL type thing... rules are a bit diff. Rugby union and rugby league Rugby league is a faster game and more exciting to watch as the union league is the traditional game. The best rugby in the world is played in the UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand. The 6 Nations is being played right now it includes England, Wales.Scotland.France Italy.Ireland Its played in the traditional rules so its the slower type game. Like i said dude im not sure what you would like to know... Hope this helps a bit and if you want to know anything just ask and ill pass on the questions.

I have good friends that live in Liverpool England.... they are HUGE into it. Give me a few hrs and ill get you a bunch of info.

I aint trading Trouba, Scheif, Hutch, Lowery... forsure

Rest easy Mr Spock LLAP

Step one should be building our depth. And keeping it. Developing it. Do we want to make the playoffs? Yup. Do we have to? Nope We loose a few and we are quick to want changes.... We soon forget how well we did without our top 4 D.
