No microbrew! And no antiquing!

HA!I appreciate anyone who puts training camp reports up, but you sir, give the impression that this is SRS BSNS and get uppity when someone else gets more credit than you do. Definitely comes across as attention and approval seeking. For me it's all about giving credit where credit is due. That's how I am at work and it's very much appreciated by my subordinates, colleagues and my supervisors. It's not about seeking approval or attention. Different environment here I guess...which is seeking approval... how you not grasping that? Credit where credit is due is not the same as seeking approval. If he was posting solely for stature or perceived stature amongst over posters or to be accepted as part of a group then perhaps you could say he was seeking approval. But giving credit is different. Giving him credit for his had work writing and posting his reports of tc etc is different. He puts in a lot of effort to share with other people and does it for the community and not for himself. I for one would be sad to lose out on these reports because all chest pumping that goes on here a lot of the time. Appreciate the fact that gbill, mike and other contribute to this group in ways that other members like myself can't and let it go. anyways.. back today lurking... It's a ******* internet message board, if you need credit for anything you are seeking approval plain and simple. Some people around these parts definitely get off on trying to be seen as important. It's akin to having a conversation in a group and asking everyone for credit for a comment that you made. You see how shallow and ridiculous it is? It is an Internet forum, but you are pretty active on here which suggests that you find the core group of posters as friends and take pleasure in being here and discussing whatever topic is up for debate. You are getting something out of this and aren't here just because. You, I would argue, get off on arguing whatever it is you are for or against, and I've seen you flip flop just to argue against someone else. But none of this changes that seeking approval and seeking credit are two different things. If you can't see that then that's unfortunate for as I'm guessing you tend to get locked into one world view and have a hard time adjusting that as new info come up. That's cool, but it doesn't make you right. Seeking approval from you peers is not the same thing as seeking credit for your contribution. One is seeking validation from a group of your self worth. the other is seeking realization for the work you have done Now I remember why I hated the one sociology class I took in university so much.

I expect if the Canucks are losing tonight they will goon it up. That team just sucks.

I was doing the same thing. "What a maroon" in a Bugs Bunny voice.

well, at least take the non-optional Teasers coupons...... (*checks to see if Teasers is still a thing*) I was just back in St. Boniface on Friday, and ahem...might have seen that it is still a going concern....

Can I come fan you and feed you berries while you watch or did Dave already call dibs? I think 17 will be ok with that, but better not even think of calling dibs on the neck and shoulder massages.

Who were these two posters in a row? Because I wasn't one of them. Actually you were the second one. It was a joke - hence the

Who were these two posters in a row? Because I wasn't one of them.

I'll pay extra to ensure it is someone other than gbill Hear hear!

Good point. Three young Jets playing in this series, will have to go and try and hustle a free ticket to one of the games... Looks like Petan's winger is a guy named Bjorkstrand from Denmark. It appears that Danish minor hockey is starting to improve immensely.

Only 148 days until training camp opens - have to stay in shape!

I am hoping Hutch grabs the starting goalie position in camp next year and doesn't let it go all season. Time to ride the Hutch train.

another reason Perrault is not a Duck is because they wanted to get bigger. And boy did they.

The Western Hockey League announced today that Kelowna Rockets defenceman Josh Morrissey is the Denny’s WHL Player of the Week for the week ending April 19th, 2015. Morrissey collected five points (2g-3a) in one game after returning from injury to help the Kelowna Rockets pick up a win in their Round 2 match-up against the Victoria Royals. On Friday, April 17th against the Royals, Morrissey recorded five points (2g-3a) to lead the Rockets to a 7-3 victory in Game 5 and earn first star honours. The win clinched the series for the Rockets and allowed the Club to advance to the 2015 Western Conference Final. The Calgary, AB native gathered 38 points (13g-25a) while playing in 47 games this season for the Prince Albert Raiders and Kelowna Rockets.

Petan is coming to town, my town. He's here getting ready to lose to the Rockets tomorrow.

Saddest stat of the whole series - Jets have only trailed Anaheim for 13 minutes in the entire series. 13 minutes = 3 losses.

Stoll was dating Erin Andrews? Man that guy sure likes to date the famous celebs. Didn't he leave Rachel Hunter at the alter and start dating Wayne Gretzky's daughter soon after? Man that guy just sounds like an uber-******....

LOL

I know Kassian sucks and can't skate but he should be out there as the Flames are just rag-dolling the Canucks.

Once it's on social media then it must be true.

Nice goal by Petan there. He scored a few like that in the World Juniors too - putting it in a place the goalie doesn't expect, shooting from extreme angles. He's going to be a good one.

I hope he is brushing up on his Russian.

It's a non-issue. It's being handled internally. Next question!

I have high hopes for Game 4 - Buff has it all under control... http://www.tsn.ca/video/byfuglien-channels-his-inner-marshawn-lynch-1.262880
