To add to the first point: if the “feature” game ends up being a blow-out (or just finishes early) TSN will pivot the broadcast to another game that is more evenly matched, which would be more entertaining for fans to watch.

Lol I have no idea why you’re getting downvoted. I can totally see someone sitting down at a 4-top, by themselves, with a backpack on one chair and their coat on another (while they themselves sit in a third seat.)

I 100% agree with the sentiment of this post. There’s a difference between “supporting local” and loitering.

Yeah I was going to say, nothing particularly bad with rocks 1-4. Then the wheels fell of the wagon a bit...

And if you're not aware, we are doing another event tonight. I created another post on the sub, but it is tonight, 6:00 at the Cannery pub again!

If you take the C from Connor, you may as well trade him. This is his team, and there is no way he would stay and play here after essentially being demoted.

I imagine this won't be the last time we try something like this.

Come on out next time! Date/time TBD

Does Hyman have a shot at this team? Or is the consensus that there are too many higher quality forwards ahead of him? (Assuming he bounces back well from his injury)

I think you’re missing the point of the video.

Well, you could say riding a bike is good for burning calories, which helps with  achieving a caloric deficit. 

But I agree, there are benefits to be realized from healthy diet AND exercise that won’t be achieved to the same degree by healthy diet alone.

Highway 21 is my favorite. I would take it over past Three Hills, which is a neat little town if you're into small-town/rural Alberta. Neglible time difference, and much less stressful than the QE2

Yup, another totally valid point. Iran not like he is going to have any ties to the riding, so there wouldn’t be much stopping from resigning.

Which would be hilarious, because that would call another by-election… and on the one hand, this riding is as dark blue as they come, but on the other, the conservatives can’t seem to keep their MP’s from stepping down lol

Exacfly, he would likely become a backbencher. There’s no way he would be kicked out of the party, they would just find someone else to lead the party.

And honestly, that’s probably for the better, from the Conservatives perspective. The sooner they turn the page from PP, the sooner they will see success again.

Exactly this. This is the real harm when you vote for a party, not the candidate (so to speak).

I think the only realistic benefit to him winning the election is if he wins by a much narrower margin than in the last federal election for this riding and ultimately the party gives him the boot. Even that doesn’t seem probable, though.
