have it on the PVR - will watch today. Looking forward to it and like the cast, though Mrs. KBF won't watch it because there's some guy in it from her Outlander show that she hates.

It's all about the flow!!!

Those guys bring the pain.

And if the hockey thing doesn't work out he can always go sell couches for his dad.

LOL - and there's no doubt in my mind that Germans live in Germany.

Laine is looking a bit frustrated out there. Good to see him pop one in the S/O last night.

I haven't noticed as many errors/just plain giving up on the puck in his own zone like in prior years, however I don't like Toby in the playoffs. At least not in the first three rounds where we are going to be grinding it out against teams like Nashville and San Jose. In the finals vs. Pittsburgh or Tampa or Boston, ok, get Toby back in there because now it's about speed and puck handling instead of slamming heads into the boards.

Don't really care what his contract is, as it will probably be in the Swedish Elite league, or somewhere in Europe.

I had high hopes for Foley too but can't complain about what we got.

what the hell?

I am totally ok if Laine doesn't want to block any more shots until playoffs. Just score goals and beat Ovie, don't worry about the ones going the other way.

Maybe PaMa did a Herb Brooks and told Laine that a "bruise on the foot is a helluva long way from the heart"....

Ovie is happy, his goal-scoring crown is safe for one more year.

Not sure why that's necessarily so bad. His family came over here from the Congo with nothing, so he should be looking for the best deal. He doesn't want to sign here, that's his call. I'm not going to hold it against him, just as I won't hold it against Paul Stastny if he doesn't want to sign a deal with us.

Ducks are going to beat Calgary tonight tho.

Thanks for that. Very interesting. I am still leaning toward aliens, but you made me at least re-think my position.

Our sales guy just got back from India on the weekend. He said whenever he told someone he was Canadian they started dancing the Bhangra and laughing. People told him they've never seen such a clown show from a world leader before. He was embarrassed to even tell anyone there he was Canadian.

that two percent cut hacked $14 billion off of federal revenues. That is almost 75% of the Liberal deficit this year (projected - probably only 50% when the real numbers come in).

they gave us a gender-balanced cabinet. A lot of people tell me this is a good thing, for some reason.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's disapproval rating among Canadians has jumped above the 50 per cent mark for the first time since the 2015 election, according to a new poll. The Angus Reid Institute's latest survey, released Monday, found the political flak from Trudeau's recent trip to India and increasing worry over government spending has widened the gap in approval ratings between the Liberals and Andrew Scheer's Conservative Party. The firm now says Tories have a shot at winning a majority government. If an election was held tomorrow, the poll said, 40 per cent of respondents who were decided or leaning voters would back the Tories while 30 per cent would opt for the Liberals. Nineteen per cent said they would vote for Jagmeet Singh's NDP. Villa Torretta See More Sponsored by TRIPADVISOR The poll also found another possible bad omen for the federal Liberals. Fifty-one per cent of respondents — an all-time high — say it's time for a change in government. Though that view is strongest among previous Conservative voters, ARI noted, 23 per cent of respondents who voted for the Liberals in 2015 also agreed with that statement. That shift in the Liberal's base seems to be a key factor in the slip in popularity for Trudeau and the party, the polling firm said. While a majority of the Grit base still approves of the PM, 31 per cent of respondents who voted for the Liberals in 2015 now say they disapprove of the party's leader. The polling firm's results suggest the Liberal Party's voter retention is weaker than the Tories'. Fifty-eight per cent of its past supporters say they would vote for the Grits again, according to the poll, compared to 86 per cent of the Conservative Party's past voters. Fifty-three per cent of respondents who voted for the NDP in 2015 would do the same in the next election. Scheer seen as better leader on economy And as Trudeau's approval ratings take a dip, (some) things are coming up Scheer. The Conservative leader, who was elected to his party's helm last May, is seen as a stronger leader on issues such as crime, relations with the provinces, health care and the economy, the latter being the most important issue in Canada today to 26 per cent of respondents. The government's latest budget, which predicted a deficit of $18.1 billion and offered no date for any return to balance, also contributed to the Liberals' woes. Twenty-nine per cent of ARI's respondents said government spending and deficits were the most pressing issues in Canada. The firm noted that concerns about deficits have increased throughout the government's term.

The only time I have ever voted Liberal was when Paul Martin was leader. He really saved Canada in the 1990's after the Trudeau and Mulroney years of spend spend spend.
