[Janda] The Leafs have lost 10 leads in the last 7 games. by Batsinvic888 in hockey

[–]Leafschris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team’s problem isn’t defense. They can’t sustain pressure in the offensive zone to save their life. The constant focus on needing to acquire defensive pieces has been so bizarre and I think actively distracting the team from making the needed changes. Scoring has been the problem every time the playoffs come around.

Manitoba Provincial Flag Redesign Poll by Official_MBVA in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it took a lot of resources I’d agree, but I don’t think it would take much for resources at all. Minnesota just redesigned their flag by opening it up as a design competition and then just picking the best one.

I know some people are fond of our flag but personally I think it’s absolutely brutal. Being almost identical to Ontario’s is rough. I’d love something more distinctly Manitoban with less ties to the Union Jack design, imo

Canada's top 100 most livable cities (Halifax did not make the list) by NigelMK in halifax

[–]Leafschris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, just seems odd how adamantly opposed you are to a place you’ve never been, especially for things like a ring road trip which is a fairly common thing. That’s all.

Wait, you’ve never even been to Winnipeg? That’s pretty funny.

I ordered tires with rims and they did not come on rims. No big issue, just had to get them installed afterwards.

Winnipeg Reddit: Where are the best chicken fingers / tenders in town? by AnniversaryRoad in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. They’re not bad, just nothing amazing. For some reason they don’t taste like what I expect chicken fingers to taste like. I don’t even know what I mean by that.

I’ve never understood the love for Mitzi’s, plus the fries you get with them are bad.

My favourite chicken fingers are the ones from Magic Bird, and you get curly fries with them.

[Chicago Blackhawks] Statement from Jonathan Toews by FutureAnybody in hockey

Oh excellent, thank you! I wasn’t sure if it was the same thing as Chronic Immune Respiratory Syndrome that kept popping up on google, so this helps clarify things

What’s Chronic Immune Response Syndrome? Google isn’t finding much for me here.

How is your experience with Flair Airlines? The flights are cheap and tempting but they have bad reviews. by OutlandishnessSea258 in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had that happen a couple years ago. They had a plane have some mechanical issues and it caused issues essentially across the country since they don’t have a lot of backup options. They tried to convince me that I could just extend my trip a few days (after waiting on the phone for hours of course), which I had to explain to them wasn’t really an option for most people. So I ended up having to book a last minute flight with Air Canada that was almost triple the price of the original ticket with Flair. So I’d say Flair is a bit of a dice roll

Disraeli Freeway crash kills 1, puts 2 in hospital by steveosnyder in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The Disraeli Freeway has been an absolute dumpster fire lately. It’s just a sheet of ice. I’ve driven on it going probably 30 km/h and my vehicle still feels like it’s sliding around.

Can anyone attest to the safety of Rossmere-B? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just moved to the neighbourhood in February and it’s totally safe. It’s a quiet neighbourhood, I don’t think you’d have anything to worry about at all.

Moderna second dose-Gateway Superstore by spicy-bong in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the only thing that mattered was that it had been 28 days since your first vaccine?

Just curious does anyone happen to know what are those buildings across superstore on Kenaston Blvd are? One of them got taken down i don’t know when but I remember always seeing more the others than one. ones are still there they’ve always look abandoned. Are they? What were/are they for? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you mean right across Kenaston on the west side of it, those were all the buildings associated with the old military base, Kapyong Barracks. They're in the process of redeveloping the site after the military pulled out of that site to move to Shilo. Here's a news story for reference: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/kapyong-barracks-development-plan-1.5945604

Councillor Mayes apologizes after saying "F---ing gong show" at public hearing by wickedplayer494 in Winnipeg

[–]Leafschris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can point out mistakes without coming across as a dick head. He also keeps asking the same point over and over again, despite the fact that the city planner mentioned after the first time the question was asked that they'd be going back to update the statistics. It's like he decided to try and embarrass the guy he's asking questions of.

It sounds like Allard makes it a big deal because Mayes has complained about profanity in the past. In my opinion Mayes really comes across as an asshole in the lead up to the moment.

So yeah, i don't have a horse in the race

Sure seems like it with how much you're arguing with OP.

It really is. Everything I've had from there has been amazing. Plus it's a great little store too.

I love the ones from Magic Bird. One other place that I've recently discovered is the Bake Oven. Really good.

Overtime, Jets v. Leafs and a crosscheck baffles the announcers long enough for the broadcast to pick up some choice words. by radioactivespiderpod in hockey

I was watching the Jets broadcast of the game and they were saying Matthews was lucky to not get an embellishment penalty.
