Pretty sure it was only two rounds back then.Toronto has never won a third round series when they won their last cup the 3rd round was the final round. Crazy! People had not landed on the moon yet!
Pretty sure it was a slip of the finger...Pretty sure it was only two rounds back then.
Maybe their finger slipped twice in a row, but it was still only two rounds back then.Pretty sure it was a slip of the finger...
Twice in a row ??? Re-read the post.Maybe their finger slipped twice in a row, but it was still only two rounds back then.
WPG yes, Edmonton too, but there are a TON of ON and BC people moving to Edmonton. I swear every other license plater is from there. They might have made fun of Edmonton, but noew they are flocking here because they can never afford to buy even a townhouse in their dreams. Edmonton is going to go up like CGY already has. Already have CGY people flocking up here.Winnipeg, EDM, sure.
Vancouver and Toronto regularly get into the the "Top 10 Most Expensive Cities In The World to Live In".
I'm kinda curious how Marner would fare in the Calder Cup playoffsYes, send Matthews and the Leafs to the AHL.
A 700k house in Edmonton probably costs about 2 million in a lot of BC. Close to that. Toronto too.That’s not a uniquely Canadian thing despite what some people on the right believe.
No worries. I didn't mean it as a condescending correction or anything.Sorry my bad
I read it fine the first time. I'm not sure what re-reading it will do, but ok. The poster I replied to doesn't seem to be taking offense to what I said. I'm not sure why you are.Twice in a row ??? Re-read the post.
I don’t see how a player (like Skinner) choosing to ultimately sign in Edmonton after they were 2 goals from the Stanley Cup and having the best player in the world on their roster should be considered a negative reflection on the places he chose not to sign. That’s not how it works.
Someone here said Henrique took 500k less than Toronto offered to stay in Edmonton. First of all, never heard anything regarding Toronto & Henrique - sounds make up. But even if it’s true, should it be surprising a player wanted to stay in a situation that was good for them?
I’m not saying I don’t believe you. I’m just saying it’s not unique to Canada. Edmonton has a lot of undesirability that would lead its housing market to be lower than say Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto. It’s not a Canada only thing.A 700k house in Edmonton probably costs about 2 million in a lot of BC. Close to that. Toronto too.
If you think this is true, then you have not been comparing prices. As someone who does quite a bit of cross-border shopping, I can tell you that is not at all the case. There are some things that are certainly cheaper (produce, dairy, eggs) but there are others that are substantially more expensive (processed foods, dry goods, soda, etc.).This would be true if Canadian products were priced at the same number as American products. 1 million doesn’t get you the same size house in Toronto that 1 million gets you in Carolina or Texas, it’s not close even if you add a 30% bonus onto the Toronto budget. Pick any grocery store product and it’s probably more than 30% more expensive in Toronto than most American cities.
Cup or bust
