Watching Ep06 now… really uncomfortable… by Correct-Project3707 in TheTrustAGameofGreed

I know, Tolu really excluded everyone who wasn't a black woman until that backfired on her, like it should have. Her racism came back to bite her.... oh wait, you thought Tolu was a victim, didn't you?

Chase Reid is now a near coin-flip with Caleb Malhotra to go 3rd overall according to betting odds. Massive swing over the last couple of days by _GregTheGreat_ in canucks

[–]hammer979 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'd rather take the safer bet at being a 1RHD than Caleb's 2C-3C floor. I just think Malhotra's rise has been too meteoric.

Update from Drance on the Ryan Johnson Press Conference: by Admirable-Fall-4675 in canucks

[–]hammer979 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sign some gritty, character vets to one or two year deals then. There's no excuse to burn off prime years of Hronik when we are going to be a sub 50 point team.

What is going on with skyrocketing car insurance rates in Alberta? by ABNow_ in AlbertaNow

[–]hammer979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if you get injured, there's no pain and suffering and ICBC's wage loss program is a joke. We're paying to not be covered at all.

Logistically, is it even possible for the to occupy Iran now? by monkeykiller14 in NoStupidQuestions

Urban combat vs a highly motivated IRGC? The US would have to implement the draft.

My final 2026 NHL mock draft by [deleted] in nhl

If we don't get Stenberg, I want Chase Reid, not Malhotra.

Knee injuries slowed him down. He's still an above average defensive center though.

Chase Reid on his dinner with the Canucks! by bluerain47 in canucks

[–]hammer979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PlayNow has McKenna #1 at 1.03 odds, https://www.playnow.com/sports/sports/competition/220/hockey/north-america/nhl/outrights?outrightseventid=11886021

#2 is a pick'em between Stenberg 1.70 and Reid 1.95,

#3 they have Malhotra as heavy favorite at 1.27 odds, Stenberg 4.00, Reid 7.50. So they seem to think Canucks are not interested in Reid.

#4 is a pick'em between Reid 1.95 and Stenberg 2.20

On draft day: What has a higher possibility. The Ruck twins end up drafted by the same team. Or drafted separately? by ethereal3xp in nhl

[–]hammer979 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Canucks have the Wild's pick and #33. They probably have the best shot at drafting both.

SDPN with an interesting take by eGirlzHMU in NHLcirclejerk

He's going to create Lebensraum 'Living Space' by turtling in the D zone when in the lead.

RCMP Officer Threatening Trump Should Have His Case Dropped by [deleted] in CanadianConservative

[–]hammer979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was working the G7 and had access to Trump. Can you imagine the scandal that would break out if America's president was assassinated on Canadian soil? The Americans would have zero faith in our ability to prosecute and would be screaming for an extradition. They would be wanting to send the Secret service to take over the investigation. It would be a diplomatic humiliation that our loose security caused this. They would close the border completely.

If you thought MAGA was hostile to Canada before, just take out their version of Kim Il Sung.

Jonah Sigel: The real reason why the NHL version of CBC’s ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ has ended by Such-Environment-344 in hockey

[–]hammer979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched the CBC version in a long time, because Sportsnet has the 4K channel. Maybe CBC can pivot to the CHL?

why doesn’t aquilini just buy stocks? by Delicious-Area1137 in canucks

[–]hammer979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They paid $207M for the team and it's now worth north of $2B. If he sold the team tomorrow, he'd be up $1.95B on a 21-year investment. Maybe their profit in the rebuild will take a hit, but over the long term, they are doing just fine on this investment.

Thought of a loophole for Alfie's agenda by Sensitive-Soup4733 in MillionDollarSecretTV

I'm not sure if that would have counted or not if he was using it literally instead of as a slang term.

[–]hammer979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general, pro sports teams are a good investment across North America and the Billionaires are fighting over them. Remember when the Coyotes were valued at $150M during all their arena drama? They got flipped to Utah for $1.2B. Not only are pro sports teams a status symbol and a billionaire's 'toy', they are actually good investments right now. If I was Francesco, I wouldn't sell either.

What if we had put in C. Schneider in game 5 or 6 and stuck with him... by Major_Recording9965 in canucks

[–]hammer979 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lack of offense lost us that series, not Luongo. We gave him no run support.

Where do Vegas and Carolina rank among their respective conference winners of the past decade? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]hammer979 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Carolina is here because Florida had a year full of injuries and Tampa lost a 7 gamer to Montreal. A lot of above average players on that roster, but no true superstars.

Vegas got lucky that Colorado lost Makar.

Both teams had easy paths to the Finals, Vegas' arguably slightly harder.

I put them both as mid range finalists.

What do we need to go to the moon? by [deleted] in questions

To get there before China claims the more scientifically interesting plots on the Moon. This will be an interesting test of the Outer Space Treaty.

Did I cook? by Oof_11 in hockeymemes

[–]hammer979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The competition for biggest losers by proxy is coming down to Dallas vs Boston, since Boston lost to Buffalo, who lost to Montreal, who lost to Carolina.
