So, we've got a motion that we do the goalies. Anyone else want to jump in on that?

 

[jigglysquishy]

If we start positional this year and run a schedule it could look like

24-25 - defense
25-26 - goalies
26-27 - centres
27-28 - wingers
28-29 - top 100

It would be the 10th Anniversary of the 18-19 top 100.

 

[Professor What]

How much should we extend the lists? I'm thinking top 50 for the goalies and top 80 for the others?

I like this a lot. My only suggestion would be to swap D and G, but it’s not something I’m going to get particularly hung up on. I’d gladly do either at this point.

I’d love to see us eventually build to top-100s across the board, but I recognize that’s a lot of work. Starting at 50/80 makes a lot of sense.

Well, if we want to cut out a step of getting the goalies to 100, we could go 60. That would probably be two more steps to get to 100, while if we go to 50, it's probably three steps.

Well guys, I've had a heart attack this Wednesday. Writing now from the hospital while recovering from open-heart surgery. Ended up with double bypass because the main artery supplying blood within the heart was 99% clogged. Everything else clear, my weight/BMI has been good lately (193cm/95kg) since I had a personal coach, had regular exercise, non-smoker, no drugs, my eating was ok and my drinking habits better than in last 25 years...

You just can't beat shitty genetics (mom has ischemic heart disease, dad had two heart attacks and has stents, both grandpas died of heart attack - at 75 and late 50s, and the one great-grandpa we know the cause of death of dropped of a heart attack in his early 40s - all had looked healthy before as well).

Yay to a painful recovery, but frankly I'm glad to be alive, we caught it just in time to not damage the heart.

Damn man, glad to hear you’re doing well all considered. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Scary stuff. Take care and please keep us posted.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Wow glad to hear you’re doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

Obviously very glad to hear you're still with us! We just never know what the next moment in time will bring us.

Wishing you as good of a recovery as humanely possible.

Damn, man, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better soon and you get the best recovery possible. Looking on the bright side of this tragedy, glad you're still with us. I'm at a loss of words.

 

[jigglysquishy]

That's brutal. I'm sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear about your health problems, good to hear that you're recovering.
Wish you be well as soon as possible

Bell peppers.
The #1 source of vitamin c (not ascorbic acid the pill form derivative).

It, collard greens, red wine and nuts have changed my life.

No sugar, oil, salt (SOS).

(Yet tons of turmeric, ginger, garlic, black pepper)

I feel healthier at 55 than i did at 45.
Without a lick of exercise. Other than walking a lot and avoiding all chairs (better to stand or lie down than to sit - for blood circulation).

I was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia, , and told i had to take meds for the rest of my life and i said f that, did scientific studies research, and changed the game. The doc i have now says the other doc must have made a mistake (lol).

I've heard this song a thousand times, easily, over the decades, but it still hits fresh.... so many more fav songs have fallen by the wayside.

 

[VanIslander]

Like 'What a Wonderful World', one can't get enough.

In hockey terms, as a Canucks fan, this never gets old:

If this doesn't rock you then you are dead inside - or, i simply don't get you.

When you get dirt kicked at you, do you walk away or lean in? . .. I think this is what hockey is all about. And always.

I've always thought this is the perfect pop song

Do we have a moment... where is Ryan Reynolds.

 

[VanIslander]

Agreed.

Howe should be there…. But I’m not sure if he should replace McDavid or Lemieux.

Bourque vs Harvey is a coin toss.

Price is the only one that sticks out badly.

 

[VanIslander]

Howe should be there…. But I’m not sure if he should replace McDavid or Lemieux.

So,... you think McD MAY HAVE already surpassed Lemieux?

I think he is on the path but not yet at Granny's house.

 

[Dreakmur]

I think he is on the path but not yet at Granny's house.

Haven't looked at it carefully, but his inclusion doesn't invalidate the list like Price's does. McDavid is at worst the #5 Canadian forward, right? Howe and Crosby are the two who could (or maybe should) be counted ahead of him.

Is Price even in the top-10?
