  1. Capitols Panthers game is very fast paced. Really fast. It chippy too. Both teams seem to be able to get the puck out their own end with one quick pass. no ten minutes of floundering around like jets. Do the jets "watch tape" of themselves?
  2. On the other hand much serious stuff went on back in the day that is no longer accepted. Also. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/28/ukraine-war-russia-resources-energy-oil-gas-commodities-agriculture/ "But the far bigger prize eyed by Russia may be Ukraine’s extraordinary resource riches, including some of the largest energy, mineral, and agricultural assets in the world., Russia’s announced war aim of conquering Ukraine’s eastern regions and southern shores is hardly coincidental. These regions—including Ukraine’s section of the Black Sea, now mainly controlled by Russia—account for about half of Ukraine’s conventional oil, 72 percent of its natural gas, and almost its entire coal production and reserves. The bulk of Ukraine’s critical minerals, especially the rare earth metals that are now in high demand, are likewise found in Donetsk and other parts of Ukraine either occupied or threatened by Russia. A number of crucial agricultural crops feeding global markets—including wheat, corn, barley, and sunflower oil—are harvested in eastern and southeastern Ukraine.
  3. Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the White House following the death of George Floyd: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?" https://www.axios.com/mark-esper-book-trump-protesters-24e93272-2af5-423d-be3b-164daab7b43d.html Book vetted by Pentagon.
  4. Lol "the vision" for the team. Corporate gobbledy gab. " hard talk" ? "Tomorrow" ? lot of self importance there. After a losing season where the team stunk for entire periods. Including Outshot by large numbers. at a time when a decent effort would have probably meant they make the playoffs. They just didnt play. he's supposed to be a leader of a group that out and out quit playing too often. that carolina hurricanes game. Wow. Whole facking thing in the jets end. Lame. Imagine what woukd happen to a Blue Bomber player who publicly said he was going to have a "hard talk" with Kyle Walters. 😂 for me... that is not ok. compare this guy, to Adam Bighill. Collaros. I didnt watch that many games, maybe 20..... seemed to me he didnt play defence very well, but did connor, wheeler, ehlers play defence much? Dont think so. defencemen didnt get much help from the forwards on this team. nobody knows why, but it is either 1. they are not told to backcheck, or 2. They are told to backcheck, and ignore the coach.
  5. Agree about the wild fans..... minneapolis sports teams .... uninspiring, but very solid fans ok so will watch that series. also, mcdavid .....
  6. Which would be best series to watch? I do not care about any of these teams. carolina seemed like they played a good game. Maybe that one.
  7. Calder cup schedule for playoffs explained https://thewincolumn.ca/2022/04/28/breaking-down-how-the-ahls-2022-calder-cup-playoffs-work/
  8. https://illegalcurve.com/manitoba-moose-will-face-the-milwaukee-admirals-in-the-central-division-semifinals/ Coincidentally these two teams met the most this season playing a total of 12 times. The season series went like this: Moose are 7-4-1-0 Admirals are 5-5-2-0 The dates of the game are as follows: Game 1: May 6th Game 2: May 7th Game 3: May 11th Game 4: May 13th* Game 5: May 15th* *Last two are if necessary This is the best opponent for the Moose to start the playoffs as they played the Admirals very well this season. Also with their parent club (Nashville) in the NHL playoffs some of their guys will be up as black aces which right now includes goalie Connor Ingram who is up top for an injured Juuse Saros.
  9. Guess deutsche bank learned a lot from their last fine. If this bank was a person, it would be in jail. "German authorities have raided Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in Frankfurt over suspected money laundering at the country’s largest lender." guardian.
  10. The hand maid's tail. Coming true.
  11. There is a lot of smiting in old testament. " I told him, if you're going to the red sea, make sure you have your life jacket handy, but would he listen?" ..... Mrs. Pharaoh.
  12. Leading republican candidate for senate, georgia, herschell walker. "Dry mist" instant covid remover.
  13. Nothing goes together quite like "christian, constitution, and taxpayer"
  14. Source? report i posted says otherwise. you can calculate emissions s: "the mountain pine beetle outbreak that destroyed over 18 million hectares of B.C. forests and continues to spread into Alberta." canada isnt even on track to make its own weak targets. trudeau just approved new oil field off east coast. horgan full steam ahead with lng. canadians have very high personal emissions. Instead of more oil drilling, where is our offshore wind project? There are none. cheapest energy is solar and winD. By far. We are building nuclear, and carbon capture. nobody else following that path. Nobody. we are laggards.
  15. Where is 65 % figure from? also.... I dont think your number includes impact of fossil produced here, and used elsewhere. also, forests are in the process of comverting from carbon sink, to co2 source, due to,forest fires, already 71 burning in B.C. . Canada's forests actually emit more carbon than they absorb — despite what you've heard on Facebook Our managed forest land hasn't been a net carbon sink since 2001 Robson Fletcher · CBC News · Posted: Feb 12, 2019 2:00 AM MT | Last Updated: February 12, 2019 Canada's forests may be pretty, but they've actually been a net contributor to our greenhouse gas emissions since 2002. (Robson Fletcher/CBC) "You might have heard that Canada's forests are an immense carbon sink, sucking up all sorts of CO2 — more than we produce — so we don't have to worry about our greenhouse gas emissions. This claim has been circulated on social media and repeated by pundits and politicians. This would be convenient for our country, if it were real. Hitting our emissions-reduction targets would be a breeze. But, like most things that sound too good to be true, this one is false. That's because trees don't just absorb carbon when they grow, they emit it when they die and decompose, or burn. When you add up both the absorption and emission, Canada's forests haven't been a net carbon sink since 2001. Due largely to forest fires and insect infestations, the trees have actually added to our country's greenhouse gas emissions for each of the past 15 years on record." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/canada-forests-carbon-sink-or-source-1.5011490 take a look at the amount of pine forest killed in B.C. By pine bark beetle, now rotting and giving off CO2. It is bigger than Vancouver island in area.
  16. These are good changes. two qb? that alone is great. Dinwiddie, khari , buck, will use that. LaPo? two roughing calls means ejection is a very good rule.
  17. Pionk joined the group of Jets admitting the team overall played poorly this season. wonder who else will? not really big news, but good to have the wall of silence broken.
  18. Great big sea: "I want to be Consequence free I want to be Where nothing needs to matter I want to be Consequence free Just sing Nananananananana Oh, nananananananana"
  19. Not all of them. Elon Musk's mother: Maye Haldeman was born on April 19, 1948 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, although I think she escaped early. Drew Desjarlais...... hope he makes the Pats..... what An experience for him.
  20. There are some interesting recent examples of this..... one I followed "On January 2, 2016, an armed group of far-right extremists[26] seized and occupied the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon,[27] and continued to occupy it until law enforcementmade a final arrest on February 11, 2016.[28] Their leader was Ammon Bundy, who participated in the 2014 Bundy standoff at his father's Nevada ranch. Other members of the group were loosely affiliated with non-governmental militias and the sovereign citizen movement." Ammon was acquitted . Amazing. also the bundy standoff was astounding. No charges. Participants were aiming guns at law enforcement. No consequences. Mr. nice guy Obama presiding that is noticed by the rest of the crackpots. another..... gretchen witmer plotters acquitted the other day.
  21. Must see
  22. did the cfl pass on espn for some unknown network at one point? Getting espn involved would help. that outfit knows how to make something out of nothing, and how to get people's attention. Even if it's just by being really annoying. example..... "the decision" Le Bron James. They talked this up day and night, for months. And it worked. maybe if tsn had a clownish guy wearing crazy clothing, saying outrageous things with complete certainty. seems to be appealing for a lot of people.
  23. Are you ever the on air person? I would listen if yeah.
  24. Thanks.... So far nobody has actually said what the problem is. I dont think they will, if anyone even knows. It would be Pretty unusual for anyone working for pro sports team to actually say what they think. theres no upside for the individual and lots of down.
