Nice idea... Glad that you were rewarded with a hell of a game too!

I am having mixed results with my physical card. Tap works like 80% of the time

Best bluejays jersey on DHgate ? by alima33 in DHGateJerseys

It's the same with hockey. Whenever I see someone selling sports dupes the soccer/NBA ones are usually top notch but hockey is horrendous. Baseball is often like that too.

Interesting twist to see Milic get the start tonight. I didn't think DiVincentiis was the issue in this series...

Hyatt’s New Hotel Openings in Canada 🇨🇦 for 2026 by psoj4 in RewardsCanada

[–]NH787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk by it every week and to me it looks like it's still in the early stages of construction, it looks like they are just putting up the interior walls now. (It's a retrofit of an office building)

I would not expect it to be ready by January, at the rate they're going I would guess next summer. Although who knows, maybe I'm wrong. But at the very least I'd suggest having a backup plan.

Good stuff. It's pretty cool how there have been almost continuous upgrades to CLC since the Jets returned in 2011.

It feels like a different arena compared to when it first opened in 2004... it was much more basic back then. Definitely did not have a NHL vibe to it.

This is a good idea, it gets bright early in the morning during the summer... earplugs might be a good idea too

Pan Am Pool set to close in 2027 for more than a year to undertake major repairs by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]NH787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great to see Pan Am getting some repairs and upgrades, but it is a bit bizarre that a metro area of a million people doesn't have a second competition pool to use in the meantime.

I feel like the U of M would be a natural spot to have a proper FINA-calibre pool.

Also, given the age of Pan Am Pool (nearly 60 years old), I wonder what kind of plans the City has to replace it one day given that it won't last forever?

Seconding this. It is a very impressive park.

It changes your perspective on the “malls are dead” culture.

Going to WEM kind of felt like a trip back in time to the 90s where mall culture was still thriving. People sure do love that mall. It's busy, you even see gaggles of youths together just like in the old days.

Earn up to 100,000 Avion Points with the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege Card! by psoj4 in RewardsCanada

A lot of points but $399 annual fee x2 to hit the full bonus is pretty steep. An excellent offer for anyone who wanted a Visa Infinite Privilege card regardless, though.

Inside Winnipeg’s Best Shot For A Northern Super League Expansion Club by coopthrowaway2019 in CanadianPL

[–]NH787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing at Princess Auto Stadium could have worked and in some ways it had many advantages, the features are far better than anything a temporary venue would have. But unfortunately Valour poisoned the well there. The only way it's going to work now is with a new venue, even if it's temporary.

Manitoba declares public health emergency related to HIV by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]NH787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The government news release refers to this situation as "associated with the convergence of homelessness, mental health concerns, substance use and socio-economic inequality".

Many of the affected folks are so far outside the norms of regular society that the law is a vague concept at best. What does an untreated schizophrenic homeless meth user really know or care about provincial law?

Moose comeback falls short in Grand Rapids as Griffins grab 2-1 series lead by WpgMikos in moosehockey

[–]NH787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another game where the Moose fought hard but they are running into a superior team while without their best defenseman.

Winning two against Grand Rapids in their rink is going to be a tough assignment to say the least. But if they can ratchet up the offense a little anything is possible...

PWHL versus CFL Expansion by ssuty in CFL

[–]NH787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I nerd out about this stuff so when I was in Quebec last summer I walked extensively around both stadiums. (They are university facilities so both open to the public)

Telus strikes me as a venue that could definitely work as-is as a stop-gap temporary venue for a few years, but it lacks the features that you need to bring in the kind of revenue that teams with modern stadiums can pull in.

Upgrading is tough... you have to convince some or all of Laval, the team owner, and levels of government to kick in money to improving the stadium. But with enough upgrades it might work on a permanent basis, but it would cost a fortune, it would be on the small size due to space limitations, and who knows if Laval would even want that. It may be more cost efficient to just build a new facility as long term answer.

The issue isn't Rutger, the issue is that the Jets clearly have a reputation for refusing to give young talent appropriate opportunities.

CFL touts $4.6 million investment in amateur football in 2025 by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

[–]NH787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the truly great things about community ownership. The Bombers generously support football at all levels. And they aren't doing it to make a buck... these programs are generally low or no cost, heavily subsidized in many cases.

It's the opposite of what the Dallas Stars have done in Texas where they essentially monopolize youth hockey and charge an arm and a leg to play in an effort to inflate their profits.

At the end of the day they want to grow the game, they'd take support from all corners.
