Can you please explain the above sentence then because right now...

Just a correction. He did not medal at the Pan Am Games I can't even find anything that says he qualified). He did compete at the Pan Am Greco-Roman Championships which is a much different and smaller event , but he never medalled. In 97 he finished 5th, and he competed again in 98 but finished no higher than 4th (I can only find the medals winners for this year). There were no championships in 1999 due to the Pan Am games in Winnipeg, and if he competed in 2000, then he did not medal again in this year.

I was surprised to see that Price has now dropped 6 straight starts against Edmonton.

The kids are putting up a good fight against a hot Canadiens team. Win or lose, coming back from a 3-0 deficit is very impressive. Good to see both Nurse and Draisaitl playing with the big boys.

Thorburn had 8 fights last year which is about par for him (he's averaged 9 fights a year during his career) so I'm not sure where that came from. He fought at least once a month last year until the last 6 weeks of the season.

The Jays offered him a 4 year deal so clearly his fate wasnt sealed by not making the world series. He chose to leave... And if the reports, about getting chewed out in your 1st and only meeting with your new boss, are true, then I would be reluctant to come back too.

Do you count "beat the traffic" as a song or would that be a chant?

Yeah I read some of the comments and, if true, then it's pretty easy to see why he's not coming back.

Surprising news, given the success they had this season, but Anthopoulos is out as Jays GM. http://www.tsn.ca/anthopoulos-leaves-jays-after-rejecting-4-year-extension-1.384678

"It doesn't surprise me. It's not bad or good. He had some bottled-up emotions, apparently, it seems like. So maybe just getting them off his chest might be healthy for him. At the same time, we're not going to be concerning ourselves about that, really. We're concentrating on what we have in this dressing room and going forward that's our focus." Okay, maybe I oversold Thorburns comments, my bad. The Free Press has edited their article since this morning but originally the article had Thorburn mentioning how close he was with "Kaner" but the team moved on almost immediately after the trade.

I believe I know who J5V is now...

Thorburn would be the other option to go with Kane but they were pretty close while he was here so I doubt that would happen.

The Conservatives went after Trudeau for his renos too, donations or not. They said it was " a lavish use of public money". Mulroney had a hot tub installed, which was paid for by donations so it's not much different. It's unfortunate that opposition parties (left or right) try to score political points off of this kind of thing though. God forbid, something happens like an electrical fire burning the place down because the PM was too worried about the backlash.

The pitcher himself can't have an illegal substance on him but positional players can. Pine Tar & rosin are allowed to be used, by anyone except the pitcher, to help grip the ball. FWIW, the Mets do not have an issue with this.

Bucknor is starting. Thats weakness. Getting a legit canadian safety back could allieviate that problem. maybe thats what we are angling for.. We know Bucknor was exposed a lot this season. Waggoner and Newman or Morgan i assume are all potential Safety prospects while Jones I think is a Bucknor 2.0 I'd like to see an all Import secondary. None of the guys you listed (though still unproven) give me anything to hope for, except maybe Waggoner. I hope we sign another CND onlinemen this off season (don't know who is available) and hopefully a solid Dlinemen - Steele anyone? I know he wants to play here. We just need to get it done! Must not want to play here that bad since he signed an extension that'll keep him in Edmonton through 2017 about a week & a half ago.

I'm good with Netflix having it in Canada. I travel quite a bit for my side job so this means that I'll be able to watch it repeatedly when I'm on the road!

Burt ward is the name of the actor that played robin/**** Grayson.

To me, this sums up the final years of the Harper Government. Say what you like about his early years, but toward the end...this was his legacy, and it doesn't seem surprising. And that's the thanks these former MPs get from Harper? That's bad. Might be that a few of these ex-MP's might actually throw off the muzzle and speak their minds on the election results and the direction the party is headed. Harper is a control freak beyond compare and he probably doesn't want dissenting viewpoints voiced less the party divides back into it's original fragments of PC's and Reformers. Why he would even give a **** at this point is anyone's guess as he has basically left the party bereft of any legitimate successors. Stephen Fletcher was pretty outspoken about the campaign strategy after the election. I'm guessing he's not the only one.

Rogers refused to switch the field from baseball to football, even though there was enough time.

I'm ok with it today just because this will be me tomorrow...

Official stats say it went to Westerman. http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/12979

Find me the Wiserhood slow clap gif! This man speaks truths...

Jacquie proved you wrong with her link, unless you have some evidence to the contrary.

The frequent use of omnibus bills (there have been 8 or 9 since 2011?) was probably my biggest issue with the Harper government, especially since he was so against them as a member of the opposition. I very much dislike huge bills that use, in his words, the "kitchen sink approach" to combine completely unrelated issues together.
