Not Eastern religions.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism. Beautiful religions and philosophies.

Hinduism literally has a caste system.

Mandatory weekly cock and balls checking should be implemented in order to avoid any more incidents like Joshuas.

Fortunately for the team Im an expert in this field, HIRE ME COWARDS.

Hinduism literally has a caste system.

Indians have an ancient caste system. Its regardless of religion now. The Vedanta yoga philosophy does not.

I felt this deserved its own thread separate from Joshua's contract/play.

All the best on a speedy recovery - scary shit, and a very sincere note to all to be proactive in screening and checking yourself out. Catching it early is a huge key, and it sounds like that was thankfully the case here.

Good choice, this forum tends to bury too much relevant news in player threads in general (w/o thread title updates), IMO.

And either way.... true Hinduists have a very flexible set of beliefs that can be changed to suit changes and developments. It's very fluid.

When missionaries from Britain went there to convert them to Christianity they accepted Jesus into their lives and hung pictures of him near their own gurus but didn't give up their own set up beliefs for it.

Eh

I am going to need all of you to stop talking about religion and get back to talking about transportation

This is pretty much exactly why religion exists.

It isn't, but it certainly gets used that way.

Anyways, back to F'ing Cancer.

 

[ziploc]

Maybe this has been asked and asnwered already, but could Joshua be on LTIR to start the season?

Any religion that relies on dogmas is going to eventually run its course as anything useful for the human experience.

Is it a religion if it does not involve dogmas or just a philosophy?

Slightly off topic...

Buddhism is more a philosophy than a religion in that there is no belief in the supernatural required to practice it.

Hinduism is fluid and open to interpretation but generally God is within. They have deities but they can also be treated as stories and lessons.

Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism have no dogma.

I don’t no why but this makes me picture Joshua riding a bike around with Garland poking his head out of his backpack

Panthers fan coming in peace, had an uncle who had the old TC!

Glad they caught it, it’s one of those cancers we are super good at treating but scary nonetheless. Never want a guy to go through such a thing, it’s something I myself have been stressed about multiple times. (Honestly as dudes who hasn’t)

Godspeed to DJ and always Chex your boys boys.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

f*** Cancer. Hopefully he gets healthy soon. More to live than hockey.

 

[VanJack]

Doesn't look like Joshua will be available for the season opener......creates an opening for somebody. Maybe Sammy Blais gets a shot. He plays the same kind of game, just not early as effectively.

Vancouver Canucks winger Dakota Joshua 'feeling good' after cancer treatment

VANCOUVER — Dakota Joshua still struggles to put into words what it felt like to receive the news. The Vancouver Canucks winger knew something was wrong, but hearing the doctor's diagnosis of testicular cancer was scary.

VANCOUVER — Dakota Joshua still struggles to put into words what it felt like to receive the news.

The Vancouver Canucks winger knew something was wrong, but hearing the doctor's diagnosis of testicular cancer was scary.

"Kind of something you can’t be prepared for. But the support from my family, friends, the fans, the organization — everyone’s been so nice and very caring," Joshua said Friday.

“I’m just very thankful and happy to be standing here today. Very hard to go through, but thankful for how it’s turned out so far.”

Joshua, 28, underwent surgery in early September and has been working his way back to the Canucks' lineup ever since.

After missing training camp and the first few weeks of the regular season, he has rejoined the team for practices and even shed the red non-contact jersey.

“I'm feeling good. I'm getting better every day," he said. "Obviously, it's been a tough road to get back in the mix. But it's going good. And I’m just happy to be back out there and getting after it with the guys.”

The cancer diagnosis followed a career season where Joshua contributed 18 goals and 14 assists across 63 regular-season games. He added four goals and four assists in the playoffs, then signed a four-year, US$13-million contract extension at the end of June.

While no date has been set for when Joshua will return to Vancouver's lineup, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said he's looking forward to the body positioning and wall work the six-foot-three, 206-pound forward brings.

“I think he could add a boost to our team with that, with winning battles and just his presence in front of the net," Tocchet said. "He’s a tough guy to play against. So any time you add a guy like that in the lineup, it's contagious.”

For Joshua, returning isn't just about seeing whether he can play for three periods.
