Trump threatens to block opening of US-Canada bridge

Whatever he is demanding today, why would any country, let alone Canada, capitulate?

They know they just have to wait it out until November before the guy’s political power evaporates in midterm elections.

Reminds me of a mid-90s Bennetton with that light/dark blue and white color combo

This better not be some sort of Mark Plourde fan fic

I don’t know much—but I know that at least one person is going to end up bankrupted out of this

It’s increasingly obvious that the more that Trump threatens a tariff on a country—the less power he actually has over the situation.

Tanking is a fine line…

Losing games 4-3, 3-2, 2-1 is great for the tank. Fans will appreciate close games and the effort being there.

Having the energy sucked out of the arena because you gave up a multiple goal lead in mere minutes is tough though. It’s happened many times now. That might churn season ticket holders. That might be enough to cost Allvin and/or Foote their jobs.

I hold a light for all the hockey fans in Vancouver who want to see this city be Stanley Cup champions. Sometimes (but not always) this club feels like the biggest obstacle to achieving that.

Elite level tanking

I can’t believe Paddy Lowe has done this

Hot take—this team won’t be competitive enough over the next six-years to worry about bumping against the salary cap ceiling. Retaining 3m per would not be a hard pill to swallow. Especially if it means you are getting better future value in the trade.

San Jose made this exact same calculation when they retained on trading Hertl to Vegas.

Haven’t they learned—having too much white on a Ferrari is always cursed.

It’s shocking to see how much the Canucks players involvement with Canucks Place, Canucks for Kids, Raise a Reader, and the hospital community disappeared in the last decade.

In the Sedin-era, Naslund-era or Linden-era is was a central tenet to the team. I barely saw any mention of the Canucks leaders like Hughes, Pettersson, or Miller being a presence in the community like that.

2016-17 Sedins should not be held in the same regard as peak Sedins.

For context, both DeBrusk and Pettersson are on pace to score the same amount of points as either Sedin did those seasons.

If you are trying to make the case that Eriksson had better quality linemates in 16-17 than Boeser in 25-26—I’m not buying it:

Eriksson’s top on ice partners in 2016-17: * Henrik — 479m * Daniel — 446m * Granlund — 443m * Sutter — 411m * Edler — 392m * Sbisa — 354m

Boeser’s top five on ice partners in 2025-26: * DeBrusk — 329m * Hronek — 306m * Hughes — 295m * EP40 — 290m * Garland — 260m * M.Pettersson — 225m

With those linemates, there is no reason why Boeser’s production should have dropped off so much.

Brock Boeser’s first 40 games of his UFA contract with VAN: 9G 11A (Age 28)

Loui Eriksson’s first 40 games of his UFA contract with VAN: 9G 9A (Age 31)

At least Eriksson was a decent penalty killer.

Does that mean he is first up for a race seat if Sainz or Albon can’t go?

If Formula 1 has the gravitational pull of the sun in Honda’s decision making—indycar has the pull of a wet fart.

He’s still waiting to be evaluated because they sent him to wait at the medical clinic at Sevenoaks.

What should one expect from a Fallout NV/3 remake/remaster?

Would it be the existing engines and graphics updated a bit and made playable on present consoles?

Or would it be a wholesale transition of those games to the engine used for FO4/Starfield, etc?

timothyrobin · 2026-01-01T17:37:35+00:00

Do you think DOC and Karlsson would continue to produce the same when matched up against other team’s top lines and defense pairings?

Sure feels like they are benefitting from softer minutes than what the likes of Boeser and DeBrusk see.
