I'll bet


How much was your townhouse? Need a neighbour or golf buddy?


- LordHumungous

Compared to BC prices it was inexpensive. 575 USD for a 1900 sq ft place (built in 2005), in a Marwood gated community, with a double car garage that fits a full size truck and my wife’s SUV.

The people we bought it from paid 385 USD five years ago so things have gone way up but we sold both of our properties at the top of the market so I can still afford the occasional hot dog and a couple beers

Crazy cold...and I just checked we are back to +9c on Monday? Bizarre.

Must be minus temps there 6-7 months per year?

I regretfully came home. Searching flights to leave the rain again. It’s brutal here. Enjoy!

It’s the best. And you are so right about the real estate prices. I get two calls a day from random buyers asking if I will sell. I’m up roughly 58% in 4.5 years.

Name someone more uninspiring that Jim Benning in an interview. Good f*cking lord.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why people listen anymore

He did two pressers today and I didn't listen to one of them. I don't know what you expect him to say to make you feel better?

Which game is your W?

I think they beat the Jets and Blue Jackets.

Jets will take them lightly because of how bad they’ve been. Chicago is bad, but they kinda owe us one and they have a new coach, which should really ramp up the “should we fire the coach” debate. Pit is bound to break out and the B’s love beating up on the Canucks (plus I think their last game was a lopsided win for the Canucks). CBJ, just a coin flip.

I have no idea how an owner holds meetings to get to the bottom of what the problems are, and to plan how to overcome them, and then turns an idiot GM loose on the radio/tv with no answers to any of the questions that all those meetings were about.

Also, Luc the bartender is generally a very positive guy on Twitter, so this is big.

I was laughing ( not at Luc) because yesterday the fans were complaining on Twitter that Benning is hiding. So he shows up and now complaints about him saying nothing.

Benning at his finest moments is a terrible interview with his funny monotonous voice , his poor diction and habits , plus his sharp appearance. Why would you want more Benning?


I get the fans frustration but honestly what do you expect him to say ( besides I quit or fire Green) that would make the fans happy.

Habs losing 3-0 after one . They need a center. JTM for Josh Anderson.

I mean, he could have lied to us, and said they have come to the roots of their problems, they are working on them internally, change is coming soon as they sort out the details.

Best thing they can do this year is continue losing draft their center , trade Boeser and Miller for a RHD and a winger.

People want Benning to explain the mess he's created, they don't want more of him. They want him to be held accountable.

Hell there are a pile of fans that have wanted no more Benning for a number of years.
