  1. Mueller was exceptionally fair to trump. One could argue he was too fair in giving trump the benefit of the doubt where a civilian would not be. But you can argue the office of president deserves that benefit. And you can argue that you have to be pretty darn sure in a case like this. But mueller was also very clear in obstruction. I do love the white nationalist talking point that if he obstructed something that wasn’t a crime then obstruction also isn’t a crime. Lol sure.
  2. I don’t think challenges to penalties should be allowed. But I do wonder if the control centre can’t weigh in in real time.
  3. Interesting notes. Quarterly revenue down triggering a 13% drop in wwe share price. But they are still on pace for record revenue this year with the new tv deals. Vince blames the decline in ratings and attendance on having top stars out. Uh huh. He claims everyone is back and they made new stars and have additional writers so everything is great. They refused to admit they are going back to Saudi Arabia (June). In terms of declining ratings there has been speculating the Saudi shows turned people off more than expected. No real proof but ratings declined at a far greater clip after the Saudi shows than before. Plus I believe they had a ton of network cancellations after the Saudi shows. Dustin requested his release in January. Vince was against it but hunter talked him into it. It was granted with a 90 day non compete which just expired. Harper’s request for a release was denied. Furthermore they added 8 months to his deal due to his injury (which is ridiculous). He’s locked up til around wm next year. Sasha has tried to quit. But if she sits out wwe can freeze her contract forever. Which, again, is absurd. Wwe pulled taker and angle from the star cast convention. Basically they were so mad they offered them new contracts but made them breach their agreement to do the convention. HBK was going to do it but declined before signing a deal. Cody was in town filming at Kenny’s place.
  4. I don’t think Stastny did anything. The cross check....you could go either way on it being a minor or no call. But Stastny just got tangled up with him. Probably no call at all has the player not landed on his head
  5. CM Punk made a wrestling appearance. Did a run in on an Indy show on Wisconsin. Covered completely, it was unadvertised and unacknowledged. Hit a terrible GTS. There is video Apparently he did the same thing a couple years ago on a show in Chicago. Hilarious. Dude could be making a fortune in wrestling. Also he placed third in a men’s BJJ contest. Out of three.
  6. That video of wheeler and scheif looks to me like two guys who’d rather be doing anything but a public post mortem of a disappointing season
  7. The one thing most people don’t think of is that content providers can’t just pull their stuff from Netflix because they have agreements to share revenue with creators etc. Makes it very complicated.
  8. Nice seeing caps eliminated.
  9. The dossier created by a non partisan expert, the result of research commissioned by the republicans. Provided to the FBI before the election due to Steele’s concern her trump/Russia.
  10. Maybe one day wwe will draw like that lol
  11. We know patio season in Winnipeg is a sacred thing and we're never content to do anything in an ordinary way - this is an outdoor area for dining and socializing like none other in the city, plus The Common is expanding outside in time for this summer. What's great about it? The entire upper Plaza area, including the Canopy, will be licensed - you'll be able to grab a drink inside or outside and wander both spaces freely. The full Common menu, the same twenty beers and wines will be available at a uniquely designed bar just off The Forks Market atrium. All beers and wines are curated quarterly by a Canadian sommelier. 250 communal seats will welcome visitors to sit and enjoy the view while enjoying their beer, wine or food from The Forks. As with inside, the design and quality of materials is high. Just like the rest of The Forks Market seating, guests can simply sit and enjoy the view. A purchase is not required to enjoy the space. Lighting, firepits and music will round out the vibe for an exceptional experience. Construction is happening now, and will be completed in time for many beverages, food and experiences to happen this summer - we can't wait for you to #MeetMeAtTheForks this summer!
  12. Interesting read
  13. I think goalie means we would have got that at the deadline so we’ll get more in the summer. Which is true but my point is trouba will have to be a partner in this because no one is making a major trade for a player who has basically said through his actions that he intends to pick where he goes.
  14. Maybe. But if I’m a team and I see trouba playing hard Ball with a really good team, I’m not trading a lot blindly. I want to know he’s going to sign with me. What stops him from being acquired, going to arbitration, becoming a UFA in a year and going anywhere he wants? At the deadline a team would have given that for a chance to win the cup. In the summer? They want assurances.
  15. Yeah that’s more complicated but a better deal. Jets will have a lot of teams interested it to an extent it has to be a team trouba is working to sign a deal.
  16. It’s actually not bad. Especially if we’re assuming trouba wants to leave. So we don’t have leverage. Could add some pieces and get a bit more from buffalo but it’s pretty close. Risto has cost certainty for four more years but is then Ufa. Trouba will sign a seal somewhere but it will be for more. Otherwise he’s a UFA in a year if he goes arbitration
  17. Lol well Toronto knows where it’s weak. I’m not sure Edmonton does.
  18. He’s an RFA and they are up against it.
  19. Jets should go after Karlsson (the Vegas one).
  20. As I recall Luke’s twin was meant to be someone else who wouldn’t enter the story until return of the Jedi so he may have intended a love triangle but it doesn’t really seem that way from watching the films. I suppose the one exception would be luke using the force to reach Leia at the end of empire. But it seems more clear she and han were the intended love story. Ofcourse there was no guarantee of a second film after Hope. So it’s quite different from TFA where the trilogy was guaranteed to be made and sequels were set up. JJ wrote story treatments for 8&9 but rian disregarded them.
  21. What!? Lol Sharks scores 4 goals on a 5 minute pp they didn’t deserve. vegas lost. But that game was over until that bad call.
  22. I know people who hate Vegas because the nhl gave them a great team (yeah yeah). Well the refs robbed them tonight. That was an awful call.
  23. Well there goes my other team. Officially no reason to watch the playoffs now that jets, pens and Vegas out. Oh and seeing the leafs lose is like wining the cup
