You lot aren't talking about the report that Sean Avery is meeting with James Dolan and could be named GM? OMFG, if there is anything I want more to happen in my life, this would be in the top 3.

I thought that was a joke.

I thought that was a joke.

Was it? They were pretty damn serious on the SC podcast.

 

[Murzu]

2 assists so far tonight puts him 1 point back of Cale and 2.5 games in hand

Or did you mean Minny ? haha

Makar will win the Norris.

No idea I saw something on Facebook.just assumed.it.was and didn't read.it.or.rake.it seriously. if it was on SC then it.must be real haha.

Makar will win the Norris.

As of now definitely not. Makar has to pick it up. Hughes is outscoring him and has the better advanced stats too.

Canada Is Poor | National Review

Ten years ago, commentators were telling Americans their northern neighbor was a middle-class success story. Now, every province has lower median earnings than every state.

www.nationalreview.com

"A new report from the Fraser Institute, a Canadian free-market think tank, looks at income instead of output, and its findings are even worse for Canada. In a ranking of the 50 U.S. states and ten Canadian provinces by median earnings per person, all ten provinces line up at the bottom, occupying spots 51–60. Every U.S. state has higher median earnings per person than Alberta, the richest Canadian province."

I hate to add onto this comment due to the thread this is located in, but this needs to be said. The Fraser Institute in a right wing funded think tank that tries to pass as a bi-partisan think tank. They have been known to add in or subtract statistics into their "studies" in order to make the position they are trying to push seem validated. (ie. One of the biggest is that Canadians pay 50% of their earned income in taxes, was found out that they were calculating in the taxes that corporations pay into their equations)

Stars and Wild both lost last night so naturally Avs will blow it tonight.

Stars and Wild both lost last night so naturally Avs will blow it tonight.

Jets, Stars, and Wild all lost in regulation, and Canucks lost in OT.

But Avs have to start winning themselves because they currently are 10th in points percentage, trailing Calgary and Utah as well.

Canada is a shit hole right now. The richest province in Canada is poorer than the poorest state in the US. We suck.

You need to travel the world if you think Canada is a shit hole...

Its like saying Gold is worthless because Diamonds are worth more...

And I'm not even agreeing or disagreeing with any attempt at comparing Canada with the US. I think its entirely beside the point.

I have traveled the world. Obviously I'm exaggerating. Yes it's not Somalia but of the "1st world countries" it's way at the back of the line.

Little India is what it is becoming

Surprising that Carolina is 4th overall in attendance ahead of Toronto who are 5th. That would be a great place to live and play
