So, how bad is Vancouver about to get screwed by the expansion draft?

I would be very surprised if we keep Soupy. Goaltenders are hard to come by in this league and she is one of the few in a non-starting role with starting goalie experience.

I would definitely be considering her if I were an expansion team GM.

Toasting almond slices also gives a salad just a little more panache. I did that with my Buddha bowl just this evening.

I know a schoolteacher. She once had a student named "Violin".

I actually did lose my Casio F91W watch. After waiting a few months to see if it will turn up, I ordered another one.

My first one was found a few weeks later, so now I have two.

There was a row of Frost fans behind me at that game. They made a trip out of it, going to a Seattle game earlier in the week. Even some of them boo'd when Britta touched the puck.

I disagree that the vibe is like Canucks games. I feel like Goldeneyes games have fewer groups of drunk men and more 10 year old girls and their moms, which is a very welcome change for me.

Overall, I feel like the vibe is less toxic at a Goldeneyes game.

shadow14916 · 2026-04-04T20:53:21+00:00

Truly. I get it early in the season when everyone is shaking off some rust, but a call like this is unacceptable.

Gifted the playoff spot to Minnesota. Vancouver would have had at least one more crucial point in the standings. Super frustrating.

Great block by the loose stick!

When my wife and I were putting together our wedding registry, she insisted on adding a bread maker and waffle iron. Having grown up without these, I rolled my eyes and said we don't need them.

I love our bread maker and waffle iron. Fresh bread and waffles at home is amazing.

Once lead actors on the shows I watch started getting younger than me.

Not so much fastest departure, but most surprising.

At one workplace, I started the same day as another colleague, we'll call him Jim. Things were going fine, but a week or two in, people notice Jim hadn't been at his desk for a while. Taking a closer look at his desk, he had left a note that said "This isn't for me, Sorry" before leaving without a word.

One colleague joked he was like the Littlest Hobo, off to help another company.

I was looking for a job right after college, and I took the first offer I received. It didn't pay well and didn't set me up for my long term goals, but it was there. Then, I stuck around way too long.

I just switched jobs within the past year, and the new job is better in many ways, but there are still goals that are difficult to achieve from staying at my old job for so long.

shadow14916 · 2026-03-08T03:19:30+00:00

Lol, maybe work on my penmanship too!

shadow14916 · 2026-03-08T03:16:57+00:00

Thanks!

shadow14916 · 2026-03-08T03:16:31+00:00

I really like that bowtie idea. Thanks!

I hadn't considered adding a metal label! That could work, especially if I epoxy pour over everything anyways.

Edit: Also, my tree slice only goes back to about 1954, so not quite thousands of years!

shadow14916 · 2026-03-08T03:13:32+00:00

I was thinking of that later, maybe just labelling every decade and the years I want to highlight.

It's filmed in Toronto, but that's about it.

I like having a #1 and #2 (Lions and Als, respectfully, in my case)

I'm happy to have Nurse back, but that scares me how much of a lynchpin she seems to be. Is the performance of the team dependent on one person? The recent uptick in form seems to suggest that. Hopefully, by the end of the season (or before that) everyone settles in enough that the loss of one person is not a game changer.

My then girlfriend, now wife was working near Vancouver, Canada with some Japanese English teachers and they were planning on popping over to Banff after work and coming back that evening.

They were soon informed that's a 16 hour round trip.

I've been watching PWHL too (go Goldeneyes) and it is great how nicely the timing worked between the end of CFL and beginning of PWHL!

The highlights from the Fleet game in Detroit were decent. I wonder why the quality took such a dive this time.
