    Post secondary school shouldn't be free as then it would have no value. But it shouldn't cost $25-100,000 a year either. In 2012, when my son was playing qb at a Junior College in Northern California, he got a letter from the University Of Oregon inviting him to try out as a walk on at qb. The letter was from then HC Chip Kelly saying my son was one of a hundred players recognized across the US as candidates to play at OSU & how some of them ended up with full time scholarships. After a few minutes & the excitement wore off in our family, I needed to come up with $30,000 US to pay his first year tuition. As a Canadian, my son didn't qualify for any scholarships from Alberta or from Oregon. He was SOL. I didn't have that kind of money, unfortunately. Ended up going to SFU. where he got his degree. 

    I think free post secondary would only apply to community colleges and trade schools.

    I just dont get why they want to push this narrative that they havent been tested.  That's idiocy.

    He's showing he's a tough guy. He's not afraid of the virus. If they actually do the smart thing and get tested, he'll have given in to the msm's propaganda.

    @blue85gold didn't clear it up. Science cleared it up. A while ago. The only study that linked the two has been withdrawn and was discredited. The author admitted to falsifying the data. 

    Lol, I wasn't being serious. I assumed the sarcasm would be evident, as none of my prior 3,800 posts have shown me to be a conspiracy theorist.

    I've never understood the apparent love by some for Chris Cuthbert. He's simply not the worst of a bad lot. I was through with Cuthbert when he cried out "Oh No!" when Milt scored the miracle TD against the Shmoes. Nothing he's said since has given me pause to change my mind. 

    Pretty sure it was Suitor that said that.

    Free Agent Centers
     

    Nick Backstrom - 32, $6.7 million

    Eric Huala - 29. $2.75 million

    Derick Brassard - 32, $1.2 million

    Joe Thornton - 40

    Yup, pretty thin.  Pageau was the guy.

    I'm not sure about Pageau. He's having a career season in a contract year. He's going to get a big contract this summer, and I'm not sure he'll live up to it.

    Didn't we beat St. Louis twice in row this year?  Anything can happen in the playoffs versus regular season. See Tampa Bay Lightening circa 2019.

    On paper you are absolutely right, this season looks like a wash but I haven't given up hope for this year yet, very very close but not yet.

     

    Getting the first wild card spot and playing in the Pacific would be the ideal situation.

    Well  him and Beaulieu were awful in that first period but after that... he did have a nice game

     

    Beaulieu was awful, I don't think Demelo deserves that description. I thought he did a respectable job covering up for his partner.

    The first period was bad hockey. Looked like a kids game.

    Scuttlebutt is he’s a legit top 4 d man. RHD.  He’s apparently quite good.  

    Think I’d have preferred Dillon from San Jose for his size.  DD is only 6’1 190 lbs. 

    He's not very big, but is decent defensively. The fancy stat guys like him. He'll for sure be in our top four.
