How Ethan Bear’s growing family is finding strength after tragedy – Sportsnet.ca

www.sportsnet.ca

There was a lot of negative comments about Bear for taking a game off over his dog dying but I think most people that are pet owners get it. They might not be human but they're still members of the family.

I've had my dog for 14 years. She's been with me thru the start of my career, buying my first house (which I designed with her in mind) and multiple failed plus my current relationship. It's going to be devastating when she finally goes.

Nashville has a brutal schedule the rest of the way with 4 B2Bs and only one extra day off. They needed to be holding down a playoff spot by now and they blew it by not beating Chicago, Arizona and Vancouver.

The Preds' "easy" games from here on out are against St. Louis, Calgary and Buffalo. The rest are against playoff teams: 2 against Winnipeg, 4 against top-5 teams, another 9 against other playoff teams.

Even if Winnipeg shits the bed and goes 5-7-1 with their softer schedule and only gets to 90 points, Nashville would still need to go .500 to get to 91 points (Winnipeg has 4 more regulation wins). Even that's gonna be a serious challenge with Nashville's schedule.

Calgary meanwhile has 7 games left against bottom feeder teams, 1x Winnipeg, 1x Nashville, 1x Dallas, 2x LA, 1x Vegas. Presumably they should be a greater threat to Winnipeg with that schedule, but how do you presume anything with that team with the way they've played this year.

I am with you there. Happened to me in fall. Dog wasn't quite ten. Still feel lost without it, even though I have two more dogs now.

Ullmark just did the same thing and no one gave him any shit over it.

Pets very much are a part of the family and need to be recognized as such, especially with all the mental health issues. They are just as much of a comfort as they are a companion.

Our pup is gonna be 1 next month but as @BlackMcDog said, you still miss the ones you had before.

It’s always nice when the channel I pay for is blacked out due to broadcast regulations.

And they wonder why people look for streams?

Weird OOT scoreboard tonight so far.

3 games and all ended 5-2.

Shots were 38-22, 34-24 and 34-22

The losers were the ones that had shots in the mid to upper 30’s. It’s like typical Flames games I guess.

Looks like Quick was exposed last night. Big time.

He had one of the worst save percentages in the league with the Kings, who are a better defensive team than Vegas, I just don't see him turning his game around with Vegas.

Oh I wish I hadn't gotten into Jesse's grill...

The next kiprusoff

The next kiprusoff

I think Markstrom gets asked to waive his clause and is dealt in the offseason and they'll run Vladar/Wolf next season.

Wolf-boy might be good enough to save that sad sack team, unfortunately

Would be nice to draft a goalie like that.

Hoping for a three point game in Nashville.

Winnipeg will likely crash and the predators will be just bad enough to let Calgary sneak up between both of them

Jets losing again, yikes.

I don't care who wins this one, just as long as it's a 3 point game.

We’re not far enough ahead to wish for 3 point games.

I'm not too worried about it, especially if they beat Seattle in regulation today. They can't cross over divisions (that'll be Gary's next dreamscape) so a three point game makes things tougher for the Flames.

This is my thought

 

[The Moose]

Avs getting hot at the right time. I think they'll win the Central and perhaps be once again the team to beat in the West.

duul

Its a long season when you have to bus everywhere. The last 20 games are grueling.

And your wish is granted
