yeah that gitch shot encapsulated all we need to see when it comes to junk pics.

Hellebuyck definitely shows flashes of greatness. Last night against the Isles he made some jaw-dropping saves. The problem is that he also still lets in too many floaters. I think its a combo of experience and confidence. The Jets need to invest in a goal-tending coach that is going to build on Helle's strengths, and build his confidence.

we're not going to make the playoffs this year. It's over. Too many injuries and not good enough goal-tending. Next year if we can somehow get some help on D (and Myers is healthy) and Little doesn't get hurt on his first shift, Helle continues to develop and we get him the goaltending coach and mentoring he needs to gain some confidence, and Connor and Roslo make the jump and give us some offensive punch, then I think we can push for a wild card. I am hoping that Chevy can work some draft magic and we can grab Cal Foote in the draft, but I know that's not going to happen. And yes, I am an unabashed Kelowna Rockets homer, so yes I am biased.

he played at Colgate? I bet he has nice teeth.

yes at this point you should just present junk and expect it to be punched

I'll ask my relatives. I am also going to ask them how happy they are about the carbon tax. Not sure if the government has thought of farmers and the onerous burden this useless tax puts on them - anyone know?

hope that he invents fast!

if you are ever in Kelowna and need to find charging stations I can let you know of a few. There's a charging station at Mission Hill winery on the West side and a charging station in the parking lot at Home Depot in Kelowna.

I think we are missing out on the real questions we should be asking on Vandervoort. 1. What is his hair like? 2. Is his mom hot? 3. If answer to #2 above is "yes", or even better "oooo baby" then the follow on question is - will she come to training camp in short shorts?

I'm really not loving this trend in social media to create hash tags out of every post. #reallytiredofit #makeitstop

I am looking at buying a new car this year. I usually drive my vehicles for at least 10 years. I am hoping this is the last gas-powered vehicle I ever buy. There are a few electric options now but none really appeal to me. I am hopeful that there will be a lot more options when I go to buy a car again in 2027.

One of the biggest scams pulled by the AGT crowd is getting 97% lie to be accepted as truth. This comment just isn't true. But besides the point about whether man-made climate change is real, there is a whole other argument here as to what should be done about it. Obama may have "lead the charge" but according to the alarmists, all of that money spent has done absolutely nothing. So what should be done? What money should be spent? I suggest those here interested in reading about this subject should read Bjorn Lomborg's stuff. He actually crunched the numbers, and is "leading the charge" in terms of questioning the costs and showing how all of that spending is doing no good. I don't even want to get into the discussion of who is "reputable" etc as it just detracts from the discussion as we argue over what is considered "reputable" and who is not considered "reputable" because they GASP don't parrot the accepted narratives.

Laine should have scored on that play in OT last night where he deked three Predators out of their jock straps. Because he didn't score, Matthews has my vote.

Barbecue is definitely better in Nashville.

basically the world would not be any different right now in terms of climate whether Obama had blown all of that money and made those punitive regulatory changes that cost the American economy trillions of dollars. That's my view.

I am not happy if the EPA is rolled back to stop protecting rivers and eco-systems as that is important stuff, however, I am happy to see the EPA's over-reach on regulating CO2 etc pulled back. The EPA was allowed under Obama to become far too strong for an unelected body. Just getting their power relaxed on various regulations could provide a $1.8 trillion boost to the US economy. https://cei.org/content/federal-regulation-cost-reaches-1885-trillion To me the argument about whether man-made climate change is real is moot and irrelevant. Obama handicapped the US economy and spent mega-billions over 8 years "fighting" it, and apparently didn't really make a dent. Is spending trillions on this "problem" the answer? I don't think so. There have to be better and cheaper ways to deal with this issue, other than funneling billions of dollars into Al Gore and George Soros' pocket.

Mark Cuban was all I needed as proof.

and yet it wasn't just the "white seniors and blue collar" that came out for Trump. It was a broad spectrum of the US electorate. They may "pay" in the end, but they had enough of the status quo. And that's what the DNC needs to accept and figure out how to change about themselves. Or just keep losing.

You are correct. I will support most who are in opposition to the odious regressive left. That I can't deny. And thank you for allowing me that right. I watched the NDP leadership speeches this weekend, and I had to disagree vehemently with pretty much everything the candidates had to say, in spades. If what they believe is "progressive", then count me out. They don't live in the real world.

On this we will agree completely!

LOL - then you must be having amnesia and totally forget the Bill Clinton administration...

Well that's the question now isn't it? I don't think that you can just dismiss this report by the New York Times that easily, though I know a lot of people wish that it could be that easy. My issue with the NYT is that they seem to be jumping on whatever story they can that they can spin to the negative, much like CNN and MSNBC, and in this case, in my view, they got burned. If they knew Trump was being wire-tapped, and reported it, then who was doing it? They must have some proof. I don't think it was Obama, and I think it was really stupid of Trump to say that it was, especially on Twitter. But that being said, NYT should have been more careful in this instance in my opinion, and/or should tell us just who was wire-tapping Trump and his team, and why they were doing it. As the NY Post article states:

Was it illegal when the New York Times reported on January 20th that Trump was being wire-tapped? http://nypost.com/2017/03/08/did-the-new-york-times-already-tell-us-trump-was-wiretapped/

Big difference for me is the carbon tax. I just hate that tax with a giant passion. Mostly because we already are getting totally shafted by it here in BC already. Guess why we are the only province that is running surpluses. And it's not because of spending cut-backs.

Yes it is muddy. It was introduced by a Liberal senator in 2013, and took until March 9th, 2017 to get to a vote. It was supported by all of the Conservatives and the NDP, and only passed because 100 Liberals voted for it too, as Trudeau allowed them to free vote on the issue. But it appears that Trudeau and his cabinet are opposed to this bill, for reasons unknown.
