elizium Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Deer are a fucking nuisance around here. Always bounding out of nowhere. When I was a teenager, a buddy of mine decapitated one when he hit it with his Firebird (remember teenagers). No major damage to the car, but the earliest appointment he could get with Manitoba Public Insurance for inspection was 3 or 4 days after the fact. He was told not to wash his car before the appointment, so he had to drive around for half a week with deer blood and bile smeared all over the front.

odessasteps Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was working in my job for about 2 weeks when a deer hit me on my way home at 0630. We see dozens of them almost every day at work. Always got to keep your head on a swivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So'z, I went through the HFboards thread on the Canucks' summer summit where season ticket holders are invited to ask the management questions. Benning was booed, there were some Lack chants, he admitted teams called for Ryan Miller (LOL), defended moving Lack's superior save percentage because Miller had a better win percentage (LOL), defended the Prust move because we lost to Calgary due to a lack of emotion (LOL), and he and Trevor Linden defended promoting John Weisbrod by saying he was behind the drafting of Gaudreau and Monahan (one of whom was drafted 2 days prior to his tenure in Calgary and the other he wouldn't even have been able to draft if the O'Reilly offer sheet -> waivers thing would've came about). Solid stuff. I literally think any Canuck fan with a modicum of understanding how advanced stats work could do a better job than these people. Winning percentage? Emotion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Anaheim signs Ryan Kesler to an outrageous extension. Six year, 6.875 aav, he'll be 38 at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 He was breaking down in his last few years in Vancouver. That has massive black hole potential. No movement for five years and then a limited no trade in the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The JULTZ re-signs for 1 year $3.9 million avoiding arbitration. I'm not happy about it. I'm not mad about it. It's just business I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No Seattle bid apparently. Might just be QC and LV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVanderlay Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No Seattle bid apparently. Might just be QC and LV. Apparently the whole "$500 million expansion fee" completely blindsided all three Seattle-area bidders and none of them had any idea how they would raise half a billion dollars by 2017 for the team when they're having trouble trying to raise the money for the arena itself.

Half of that is even absurd. Seattle doesn't really have to worry about that though since if they really get an arena and want a team they will get a relocated team.

sabremike Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Problem is that I really think time has passed Lou by. Last several years in NJ have been ugly and there's a reason he was pushed aside.

sabremike Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Which, despite the few kinks, worked out pretty darn well, sooooo?Don't know if I agree with that, but we'll just agree to disagree. I was at the Devils prospects game on Saturday and Lou was there taking pictures with people and signing autographs. Amazing that 5 days later he's gone. Devil fans I've spoke to are glad he's gone because the feeling was that he cast a shadow over the organization and now Shero can be 100% be in command. There really is a strong feeling there that Lou had lost it. Maybe he has a second wind in him but my gut just says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
