I am not sure winter tires will stop semis from trying to make a U Turn on Broadway and Oak

Yeah, that’s my thought. No point in risking the deductible. The cost of insurance in this province makes driving in snow too risky. Too many idiots out there

They haven’t won much in ten or so games. The west is too tight. Gallant had them punching above their weight imo, but deboers is a great coach too.

Usually you try to take a step up not down. Deboer deserved being fired performance wise. Usually you don't hire from the basement dweller that just fired him. Just look at LA for example

People in southern BC are pathetic at driving the majority of the time. When it snows holy (frank)

I would agree with you but when I drive out of province (especially in Nova Scotia) I go crazy. Everyone’s so timid and cautious and slow everywhere else. I’ve become used to Vancouver driving.

I was even frustrated while driving in Cali and was getting a bit aggressive until my wife reminded me that Americans don’t flip the bird when pissed off... they pull the trigger.

Good. Hope Vegas falls into shambles. I don’t think I could take them winning a cup before Vancouver.

Yes...and the shambliest of shambles this side of shambleville.

I'm going to start keeping a tally of how many days in a row you bring up: politics, millenials, climate change

It feels like we're already at a streak of a week or 2

Vegas has been a bubble team all year. Deboers record in San Jose was pretty outstanding as well, similar to Gallant. Im surprised but Vegas hasn’t been the same dominant team this year, that’s for sure.

Dammit, I keep calling McPhee Poile. I need to get my head out of my arse.

Yeah, they got spoiled right off the bat. Seattle is in for the same treatment though.

Not sure they can do much to protect what they have. Maybe there will be more trade movement among teams leading up to it, but in my opinion the expansion draft rules are skewed for the same kind of result. Arguably a deeper talent pool to choose from this time as well.

Vegas may fall after this, which makes more room at the top for the canucks
It may mean us making the playoffs because of gallants firing

agreed, the expansion team has a lot of leverage against teams that have too many core players to protect.

Thanks. I don't mind being corrected, the sooner the better. I knew this but my brain was processing it wrong.

I know McPhee is the PHO there now. Ultimately, with Gallant being his guy, this move had to go through him.

Me, making Venison Sausage for the first time. Not much of a story aside from the endless "Sausage Party" jokes we made leading up to, and during. Not to mention squeezing the air through the natural (intestine) casing. Hilarious fun over a few beers and some greenery.

Chose it because I thought the "Sausage Party" motif was pretty fitting for joining this group.

The GMs made some really dumb choices such as Tallon Rutherford Kekäläinen

That’s funny. So you, Dragon, and myself are the only posters with avatar pictures of themselves.

I agree, but at the time nobody could know how those choices would turn out. They were protecting what they thought were better players. Same rules apply still, guaranteed there will be more GM's kicking themselves in a couple of years.
