    Well, I'm certainly not the only one here who name calls. When Skunk makes a statement that makes little or no sense & continues to do so then should I or anyone else just say, "Thanks for your input?"

    Make your argument for the contrary in a civil meaningful way. If can’t accept that agree to disagree.

    i present as an example the recent Premiers Conference. The Prime Minister of  Quebec doesn’t agree that an oil pipeline through his province would be good for all of Canada. Manitoba Premier Pallister didn’t resort to calling him a moron, idiot or any of the other things he simply stated “We agrees to disagree on that one.”

    That about how it should work, like debating for drinks. Start a discussion and the first person that swears buys the next round. 

    Think of it as if your boss has a real “good “ idea (at least in his mind). Do you raise your hand in the meeting and say You’re an.idiot, your idea is stupid. It is okay to think that but if you want to keep your job you find another softer more gentle way of getting your message across. 

    Tone can add a lot to the validity of your message.

    I believe he simply clicked the link here and just let it open without clicking the categories

    Does defending Skunkie’s stance make you feel ... I don’t know? “Icky” ?

    I agree with you and was going to take up the cause but I didn’t an extra beverage first and by then had seen you were on it. 

    @speedflex27 you lose any and all credibility when you have to resort to name calling. There really is no need to that.

    Laing was giving some of the guys trouble, but that's how you get better; by facing strong opposition. Was it Speller who replaced Hardrick? If so, good job.

    Speller went in initially and took that procedure penalty right away. Didn’t get off to a good start but having never played the position thought it was better than what B.C. has...

    Any updates on Neuf?

    I’m of the opinion that Neuf is fine and being hid there for injury insurance reasons. 

    I would be very surprised is Hardrick doesn’t practice this week and play against OTT. Maybe gets a maintenance day or 2 but he plays. As a matter of fact, if Hardrick doesn’t  play next Friday I’ll buy a round for the first 6 people to call me out on this prediction. 

    He’s fine. Did you guys not see him coaching the rest of the game? Man I want to hear his locker room talk before a game.

    It seems to me that there has been a lot more squabbling in this forum than usual lately and I have not enjoyed reading the postings as much as usual as a result. Has it seemed that way to others?

    I’ll wear that one. After years of mostly lurking I got fed up with a couple of things said and called them out. I’m sorry...

    I’d say I’ll shut up and go back to lurking to protect feelings but my give a F meter is broken and I can’t say I won’t call out a moronic statement when I see it. 

    That and we seem content with the organization and haven’t figured out who the collective scapegoat is yet this year so no one to turn on but each other...

    Fair enough!! I can get behind this.... I don't think I actually KNOW a single American person. 

    You should, most of them are more like us that you would imagine. As to them not knowing anything about us? Why would they? They are 100x our population. We know about them because we don't have enough of an economy to fully satisfy our need for entertainment.

    I talk / work with American people everyday and even though some of them are gun toting rednecks I would welcome them at my home anytime.

    Please remember that the most media only really features the extremes of the issue left or right. Somewhere in the middle is everyone else and you don't get to hear their voice often. I can remember being in our US office before the Trump election visiting with a couple staff. Diametrically opposed one a Republican and one a Democrat. The one thing the could both agree on was that America was F'ed if those are the best 2 people they could find willing to run their country.

    Your bitterness and anger towards non-English speaking countries has absolutely nothing to do with Americans calling our game "quirky". Ffs, our game existed first!!

    my point is, we were here first....so if anyone's "quirky", it's the Americans....**** them.

    Very VERY much so....it's in their DNA.

    Bi-polar much? 

    I may not post here much but read most everything posted. I used to respect much of what you posted and considered it carefully. 

    Your attitude to America / Americans in this issue is over the top ridiculous. Get a grip / beer or whatever you need to get back to reality. Canada as a whole needs the USA without them our economy would not support a league at all. Be glad they are interested in our league and just accept the $$ they way the teams do the players.

    Was disappointed in the Interlake flag. Too many glaring omissions such as Peguis (the largest community in the Interlake) and Fisher Branch, Fisher River. I did order a Northern Manitoba flag for my cottage up North. Wife won't let me get one for the house though...."tacky" she said....grrrrrr

    I would like one but no way in hell am I admitting that the area I live in is technically part of Transcona...
