All Jets and Blackhawks together at the beginning of the game and for the anthems

I don't know entirely how accurate this is, was a chart someone put together and from 3 years ago, but would surprise me if we were not at the top or at least above average ... graph was based on Bud Light pricing so you aren't comparing different premium brands.

We are now a week away from the 2018 NHL playoffs starting. Figured the playoffs could use their own thread. For those hoping to get tickets to see the Jets, looks like the secondary market will be out in full force. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-jets-playoff-tickets-1.4604783

Rumours are it will be through Apple Music subscription. Ive said it before, I think most households will pay a monthly fee for one streaming service. Netflix has a huge advantage being first to market. Their original content better be very compelling to convince people to pay another monthly fee.

Ahhh. Thanks. I thought the transmission line to Minnesota was part of Bipole III.

To me, the fact that the Pallister appointed board walked on this speaks volumes. Hydro is bleeding money right now and they need to finish Bipole III. Pure conjecture here, but my guess would be a cost analysis was done on the cost of delays if the MMF starts protesting and stopping the project (lawsuits, setting up road blocks, disrupting construction, etc) vs. paying them the $70 million and clear the path to get to project completion. And the $70 million is cheaper. So if Pallister won't approve the $70 million, nor even meet with the board to discuss other options, that leaves the road to finishing Bipole III impossible to go down and everyone abandons ship because who wants to go down on a sinking vessel.

I call this PR Edit: To be clear, I didn't intend the PR comment to be negative thing. PR is public relations, and he is managing the relationship with the public here.

Questionable tactic for what? Contract negotiations? Negotiations are done, Bombers gave their best offer and were declined. His comment is more for the fans than Muamba IMO. If it was meant solely for Muamba and his agent, Walters wouldn't have said it in an interview. This is a PR move for the fanbase to let them know why we aren't signing him.

Just came across this article and found it pertinent to the discussion about how pension liabilities hurt the conservatives deficits and with the increase in interest rates will help Ottawa balance the budget (or spend more money). http://business.financialpost.com/news/economy/rising-interest-rates-could-allow-liberals-to-post-smaller-deficits-in-2019-pbo

Google is just as bad as Facebook in terms of building up a profile of you. And if the data they have on you were to get out, it would be just as bad. Think about how much you could infer about a person by looking at everything they've ever searched for.

For Hutch or Stastny?

Don't understand why you wouldn't play Hutch yesterday and save Hellebuyck for today.

Privacy laws have evolved so much in the last 10 - 15 years, I don’t think this is something government run lotteries can keep mandating long term. Especially when you see evidence that harm can and does happen to winners If the public trust is really at risk, you hire 3rd party auditors to make sure everything is above board and publish those results. The real problem lotteries have with this is that smiling faces with big cardboard cheques are better for advertising.

They run simulations based on a whole bunch of stats for each match up.. http://moneypuck.com/about.htm

Wheeler is a FA after next year. Buff could turn into a bad contract. $7.6M until 2020/2021 when he will be 35. Also Little making $5.3M until 36.

They were talking about this on 1290 this morning. The mashup is very well done.
