He'll be a mid-season pick up somewhere

There goes my best source of songs for history class. Back to you tube...

Could be interesting...

Hogs or Porkchops

Speaking of crotchety old dudes, where's ISO been? ISO's fine - just taking an MBB break.

I thought the slash was deliberate, two-handed just for good measure

If you really read the thread you know the answer. The narrative of "oh he was just running away" isn't accurate. Add in the warrants, the assault, the struggle over the stun gun....the bigger picture isn't as near and tidy as originally thought. In a perfect world the cop would not have shot the guy. The victims actions lead to the shooting. The cop made the choice to shoot. Honestly the worst thing the cop did was plant the stun gun. That's going to be the hint hole in any Defense even if he's innocent. And again by the law this ain't mirder. I was reading opinion. I'm still reading opinion.

I've been reading this thread, reading other articles, and scratching my head for the past few days. Running away from Police is a strange decision to make - sometimes people make strange decisions. Does that mean they should be shot? I dare say not. I get that some of you are arguing semantics and commenting on the rights of Police Officers in general - but why defend a cop who shot and killed an unarmed, fleeing suspect?

9 - 9 and playoffs...minimum

The last few playoffs have shown that goal-tending is not the be all and end all that it used to be. Good goal-tending helps, but teams of this era seem to generate more quality scoring chances. The days where the likes of Broduer and Hasek can control a series are over.

lol at not thinking Pavelec is a huge weak link on the Jets. Aside from 3-4 recent games, Pavs lets in a softie just about every game. It's amazing what the "recency factor" does to people's mindsets.lol

Because then the play by play people would try to pronounce it.

I was referring to that specific play. Stopping any kind of breakaway is usually a lucky guess by the goalie.

The technique is you cover the side of the net where the shooter is coming from. Bottom line is Pavelec and Byfuglien both suck. I hope they're both gone by next season.

Awesome clip - future is bright for the Bombers' OL.

Thing is on the game winner, it wasn't a breakaway. Byfuglien had him defended coming from one side. Pavelec didn't protect the area of the front side of the net that he needed to. I don't usually weigh in on these debates, but Buff clearly did not have him defended.

This post should be stickied as a reminder every day until the deal gets done. I'm bumping this post - simple negotiation tactics folks. I wish people involved in pro-sports wouldn't negotiate through the media.

How does anyone get off blaming the team that had a 2 - 0 halfway through the second? My point is it's a 'the chicken or the egg' argument. I'm not knocking Hutch. But sometimes a tired team needs the goalie to bail them out. Playing back to back road games all the way out on the West coast, coupled with the injury situation - to me it was obvious they would need some extra help from the goaltender. The way Pavs has been playing of late, I think he would've helped them weather the storm during that slump in the second. Just my 0.02

Interesting - you don't see Crawford steal too many games.

Another very viable solution would be to plant more trees. Young, growing trees actually consume more carbon dioxide than old trees. Also, some of the wood stoves being manufactured these days are incredibly efficient. I have seen a wood stove that was heating a several large houses via hot water heating pipes. It only needed to be filled once every 24 hours and it had a recombustion chamber that was so efficient you couldn't see any smoke unless you looked very closely.

Just to add to the problem: 1. Teaching on a reserve up North is referred to as paying your dues in the teaching profession. The good teachers who prove themselves will be hired in Southern Manitoba. Fly in Sunday night, fly home Friday afternoon, and don't stay there for more years than you have to. 2. Brandon University has been running a Teacher Training program for Aboriginals since 1972. But this program has produced very few teachers. In fact, those who graduate are usually middle-aged and have only a few years of teaching left. Guess what the younger people do if they earn a degree? Leave the reserve. Who is supposed to step up and lead them? That's literally a billion dollar question at this point.

How is locking a thread always some peoples' default position? Sometimes it's best not to block opinions and just let people learn from each other.

The land bridge is still a theory. A good theory, but a theory nevertheless.

It's more the oil than the potash. Sask has been mining potash for half a century.

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. The best solution is for white people to stop believing that they have a clue how to fix the problem. That's how we got into this mess in the first place Largest untapped work force in the country, 2 million first nation grads by 2020, assimilation has happened. The days of hunting & fishing for a living are over. The reserves will dry up because the young won't stay. People have had that theory about quite a number of unique cultures. The belief that economic reality will some how erase cultural identity is flawed. Old John A. Macdonald had a similar theory about our First Nations - history has proven him wrong.
