  1. And it happens again: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-mp-caesar-chavannes-caucus-1.5064544 Dropping like flies.
  2. Nice to have a healthy Morrow back on the roster. Beaulieu's been a workhorse, so some rest can't hurt. Kinda surprised Hellebuyck is getting the start tonight. Interesting strategy but Brossoit had a great game the last time the Jets were in Vegas.
  3. Yeah, all the irrational, emotionally-charged comments from you in this thread clearly demonstrate you didn't care. So, is it favour vets or overplay them...? You're not even making sense. And if pretty much every coach does it, why even mention it? You call others sheep and accuse them of having their panties in a bunch over a pretty inconsequential roster decision, but you've been flying off the handle since the decision was made yesterday, pompously crapping on anyone who's disagreed with your opinions. I think it's pretty clear who's wearing the bunched up panties as far as Jets fans go on this forum.
  4. ***citation missing*** Present some actual evidence and maybe you'd have a case. In the meantime, chill out and get over Hendricks getting one game.
  5. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-globe-editorial-the-right-move-to-fix-the-border-but-what-took-so/ Another obviously transparent political move, to be sure. But what changes are made to the SCTA will be something to watch in the coming months, IMO.
  6. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimdobson/2019/03/16/flat-earth-supporters-now-plan-an-antarctica-expedition-to-the-edge-of-the-world/#165228405916 This is going to be hilarious.
  7. And to clarify, I was referring to the forum's armchair hockey expert when I made the assbleed remark, not you. I wonder if the back of his Jets jersey reads "Chicken Little"... And FWIW, Maurice's comments for playing Hendricks last night were pretty clear and objective, and not at all from a position of blind loyalty or a love for vets: Seems like it was the right decision against a bottom-feeder.
  8. Oh, right... Based on the false narrative Maurice has a crush on his veteran players. My bad.
  9. Well, the Jets won. I guess all that assbleed over a minor change to the 4th line was for naught. It amazes how a player getting scratched for a single game somehow qualifies as him wasting away in the press box.
  10. And now Wernick is out: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wernick-election-panel-snc-1.5060834
  11. Love that Nevis is back. That D-line is going to be insanely fun to watch. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/03/16/special-place-special-city-nevis-re-signs-winnipeg/
  12. I guess I'm curious as to what makes him any sort of scientific expert on the matter to quote him in this thread, especially when his track record on said matter is detestable at best. https://bbickmore.wordpress.com/lord-moncktons-rap-sheet/
  13. What are his lordship's credentials? Oh, yeah... He's got a Master of Arts in Classics and a journalism diploma.
  14. We can definitely be smug in a very brash way when our teams win. I really couldn't care less who the opponent is; I just haven't liked the previous two games against the Flames this season. And points are at a premium now, along with that top spot in the division.
  15. Excellent song choice! Not gonna lie: I'm nervous for this game.
  16. It looks like there's stability in much of Canada. That's good news but I think it's reasonable to assert the future remains uncertain. And the lack of data for the rest of the Arctic only muddies the waters further. Of course there are more bears now when compared to the previous 50 years. Populations were decimated by hunting/trapping prior to 1973 when regulations were put in place (http://pbsg.npolar.no/en/agreements/agreement1973.html) to ensure conservation of the species. The population has stabilized thanks to those regulations. However, that doesn't mean they're not a vulnerable species* or that a changing climate in the Arctic isn't a real thing. The coverage area and density of sea ice has declined over the last few decades, so animals in the region will be affected as those changes persist. That is particularly important for a species like the polar bear that relies heavily on sea ice for hunting/feeding. (https://arcticwwf.org/places/last-ice-area/) It seems awfully disingenuous to use stabilized polar bear populations to refute climate change. Populations have stabilized because they're no longer being recklessly hunted on a large scale. You wouldn't look at bison populations today and apply such similarly shaky logic. Like the polar bear, they've recovered impressively thanks to conservation efforts after being nearly hunted to extinction. * the polar bear's conservation status remains vulnerable (https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/22823/14871490)
  17. A mostly solid game but - most of all - a much needed victory. Scheifele really bounced back after a rough stretch and I thought Hellebuyck played better after a shaky game on Tuesday vs. the Sharks.
  18. Trump's face in that pic with the bikers... Priceless.
  19. Lemieux also has a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Jets clearly lost the trade.
  20. I thought his first five games here were pretty good, particularly in the faceoff dot. His last two games have been very forgettable, though. Then again, I think the entire team wants to erase last night's mostly pitiful effort.
  21. This has the overpowering stench of cover-up all over it. Where's the transparency this gov't claimed it would have? Where's the accountability to the public? Utterly disgraceful.
  22. Based off last night's game...?
  23. That line was simply brutal last night. The third period was all kinds of ugly. 4 SOG... Pathetic. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20182019&game=21077&view=limited
  24. What an absolute heartbreaker.
