Their style is a little boring but their games have still been pretty exciting because they are always tight

This isn't true at all

Pour one out for Silver Heights Collegiate, RIP

No. But there are rumors he will be traded or bought out.

My understanding is that Bishop is their only goalie with a NMC and they have 4 others under contract who satisfy the exposure requirement.

Tom Milroy... I think he is on CJOB on Saturday mornings

Ah yes I remember hearing that.

Yes technically the Ogopogo is a BC sea creature. The Manipogo lives in Lake Manitoba. But calling Tristan Okpalaugo "Manipogo" just makes no sense.

No just pointing out liberal hypocrisy

Unlike the Penguins who I'm sure are all 100% healthy....

Thank god we've got a Prime Minister who idolizes totally reasonable leaders like Castro

Rookie camp starts in 13 days!

Honestly I don't find 150k or so to be outrageous for a police officer working long hours. They do put their lives at risk and their performance is constantly under the public's microscope. Not to mention the toll taken on their mental health seeing some of the stuff they see. If I can make 100k+ as a programmer sitting on my ass all day with no OT then really 150k with OT for police work seems kinda reasonable.

Negative 29 days til the first preseason game? What happen?

Really? I'd be downright shocked

Come on there are like 5 of us in the hockey forum

It's difficult to say whether Nashville would have made the playoffs or not without Trotz. All we know is that in 3 years since his departure they've made the playoffs each year and are now further in than they ever got with him there. Can't disagree with your point about Washington though. I've said it before but they'll never win with Ovi as captain.

I'm definitely not saying the value of a degree is zero. Just that it is rapidly falling. You give the example of your company. There are lots of companies that operate similarly. But less companies operate like that now than did a few years ago and far less than 10-20 years ago. In most cases, experience will get you where you want to go and if you can supplement that with short-term targeted education and certification, you can almost certainly rise as high as you like. Of course this is also referring specifically to corporations which are a large portion of employers but only a portion. A smaller business is not going to let the lack of a degree stop their best employee from rising through the ranks. Self-employment also offers an unlimited ceiling and requires no degree. University education in entrepreneurship is so poor it's laughable. Haha. You aren't well-liked. Like I said above, I don't think a degree is worth nothing and I realize that it can still be a path to a lucrative career. But my point is that the options for employment without a degree grow daily and as such the value of an expensive and time-consuming degree drop. If I can achieve similar or better results as someone who spent 4+ years in school, wouldn't you agree that the value of the schooling is questionable? I should qualify all this by saying I do have a degree and it has allowed me to have a great career... yet if I started over, you couldn't convince me to go to university, not a chance.

Great. Enjoy your 45k/year job at the insurance corporation that your 4 years in university got you. The tradespeople who went to school for a year and now have 3 years of experience are making more than you, working side-jobs for cash and have no debt. I accept the value of a university degree for doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Everyone else is wasting their time and money.

How much time does it take to train to the point where you become an actual police officer? Assuming you start right after high school, are you saying that a 20 year old could be a full police officer (not cadet)? Sooner, later? I definitely feel like the cops I know took several years before becoming an officer. How much does a cop make in their first year? Their fifth?

Not sure how the degree comes into it? There are plenty of cops with university degrees and plenty of people in well-paying jobs who do not have degrees. The value of university degrees drops daily.

I'm not sure... maybe? Two or three times and it's a coincidence... ten times and it's a pattern (Trotz's teams have now been bounced in rounds 1 or 2 ten times).

How is this not the case already? Seems very logical and kinda common sense
