Interesting article on where Laine ranks among some of the premier goal scorers this far into his career. https://www.tsn.ca/laine-on-track-to-become-nhl-s-next-premier-sniper-1.956848

Longhorn = Migs = banned .... again. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

A lot of news nowadays is about sensational headlines, #fakenews, mass shootings, sexual misconduct, and a lot of things that tend to have a negative spin. Main stream news anyway ... sports news is more about well sports news. I find it refreshing when we get the odd feel good story thrown in. As you suggest, I think this type of stuff happens more often than not, but what is wrong with celebrating that? Celebrating simple humanity should happen more often than it does to remind everyone that in general, there are more "good" people out there than scumbags.

No. Imagine a company operating in Canada wanting to have a rule where X % of its work force has to be people from US. Immigration would never allow that kind of protectionism for foreign workers.

I've just cleaned up this thread for the 2nd time. Please try to post on the World Juniors topic. Any issues you may have with another poster, take it to PMs.

Reminder of O'Shea's HOF career. http://www.cfhof.ca/members/mike-oshea/

The other link was what was linked to on this page as of this morning https://www.bluebombers.com/football-operations/ They must have fixed it after Doug's article came out.

For those who can't read behind the pay wall, Doug points out that the coaching page for Richie Hall and Marty Costello now point to "Page Not Found" errors, while all other links for coaches are working, wondering if this implies the two coaches have been let go. https://www.bluebombers.com/richie-hall/ He then goes on to suggest that O'Shea should be the next Defensive Coordinator even though he has never been a DC before....

Just my 2 cents on this. The warning was to everyone when with the thread I linked to when I mentioned the posts being deleted. As to people giving as good as they are getting, for the most part we have let that go, but there is a trend happening on the board of people seeing this sort of thing in one place and taking it and proliferating it everywhere to the point where it was happening in almost every thread whether people wanted to give and get or not. So, unfortunately, there will be a bit of a correction for a time where we are going to be more strict until people can get back into a pattern of discussing the topic at hand without the cheap shots and insults that are in no way needed to have a discussion. It has also been my experience based on feedback that when a discussion has degenerated into two people "giving and getting", the only people who really care to read all that noise is the two people involved. For everyone else it is noise and turns them away from the discussion. So if it is really that important to people to "give and get", and feel like an internet hero to out insult someone, take it to PMs.
