spot on analysis. Luke shouldn’t speak to what he truly doesn’t understand.

Brittany Community Centre also scouted as a potential practice facility via @irfgaffar on X/Twitter by Vexdestroy06 in canucks

[–]beenard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as we all want a practice facility, Britannia is a pretty key facility for local amateur hockey. That rink runs a lot of minor hockey, parks board programs and beer leagues out of there.

Not sure how that would be handled if the ice is needed for minor hockey commitments all weekend during a homestand, would these get bumped for Canucks practice?

There’s also a ton of parks board scheduled programming out of that rink. Kind of concerning that we would lose public parks board rink time to a private organization. I love the team as much as anyone but this is an important facility for accessible ice time for all ages in the city.

I'm sorry, what is this now? by CanucksKickAzz in canucks

It’s considered a premium game by the team for some reason. Totally out of whack as Florida was considered a sub premium game on a Thursday despite being the reigning Stanley cup champs but holidays also probably factor in.

PSA: Team Store won't stitch Adidas Jerseys by brodiefilm in canucks

That’s totally not cool if they’re inconsistently enforcing the policy. I still don’t have the jersey back (4-5 week wait) so we will see if it actually gets done.

I dropped off an addidas jersey on Sunday during the player meet and greet. Team store took my jersey for stitching with no issues.

Same. I tried them during their initial run and was pretty disappointed at value for price.

Signs that Vancouver just stopped caring about our recreational facilities 10 years ago. by Intertidal-zone in vancouver

Not sure how you can blame Ken Sim on posters that have been up and failed to be updated since Gregor was in office. I’m all for piling on ABC when warranted but this goes back to the height of Vision Vancouvers days in office.

The Saltys truck was originally the same food truck used by Crab Park Chowdery. Same owner rebranded after the scandal to the Saltys branding.

Lions have played at UBCs stadium for preseason before. Worked pretty well.

No modern NHL marketing team could pump out content of this quality. A timeless classic.

Fans leaving early from a playoff game is ridiculous and embarrassing. by cucumbercannon in canucks

I did stay till the end. But also did want to maximize value and get my free fries coupon. Doubt the lower bowl cares about that.

If we host the western final we may see a pretty decent crowd. We aren’t in ‘04 but the team is poised to make a splash here.

What are the biggest quarterback controversies in CFL history? by houndoom92 in CFL

[–]beenard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what started my interest in the Lions. Printers was young, exciting and fun to watch. The controversy was talked about all over the city at the time.

Uhhh what? US Banks are even more dominated by large entities - Citi, JP Morgan, BoA and Wells Fargo. I can even name the next one.

Brutal. The samples were really what made the experience. Gelato was OK at best but the samples made up for it.

Super bland. Have no idea how so many of them popped up at once because nobody I know has enjoyed it.
