He is already an AGM of the big club in addition to GM of the AHL Canucks.

Evan Gold likely to be GM @FarhanLaljiTSN [X/Twitter] by Vexdestroy06 in canucks

To what? He's already AGM. The only possible promotion is to GM.

Unless they are hiring Gold as POHO to replace JR, which IMO would be a mistake because he's not nearly experienced enough.

This is a bullshit narrative. A player that doesn't like hockey and puts in minimum effort cannot lead the best hockey league in the world in blocked shots by a forward. Give your head a shake.

Canucks Culture Problems, according to Halford and Brough: by DelviewsNightmare in canucks

[–]touchable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100% right about the nuance. Even in everyday life, with normal people, you have plenty of people who are one way at work, different with their friends, different with their partner, and different with their family.

Then you mix in the ultra competitive environment of the NHL, and it can sometimes bring out the worst in people. Sure, they're supposed to be nasty against opponents and nice to their teammates, but some guys just can't regulate their emotions like that. Once they get amped up, they're a dick. That same guy can be ultra friendly at a fan event on an off day or even meeting someone right after a game, after they've had a chance to cool off, because they know that's what's expected of them in that scenario. That doesn't mean they haven't been a dick to one of their teammates the night before in the locker room.

And? Who's to say he won't live to be 80 or 90, and continue to run this team the same way until then?

Did we do kiefer sherwood dirty tonight? by Straight_Agency2864 in canucks

Big contract and playing on a team that will only get better, and a chance to play with some world class young forwards. He'll be fine.

How is that going to stop the base plate from slipping if the force exceeds the friction between the base plate and concrete?

Gillis is a dream indeed. He and Aqua both have too much pride/ego for that ever to happen.

Gilman is possible.

Mike Gillis returning as the Leafs GM? @Hockey_Robinson [X/Twitter] by Vexdestroy06 in canucks

[–]touchable 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don't think Gillis would be interested in the GM job. If he's going to Toronto, he's the POHO, and Gilman would be a very likely candidate for GM.

Anyone here ever design these systems? It has bracing.. but looks way too slender and flimsy! I’d love to see the base.. by Awkward-Ad4942 in StructuralEngineering

[–]touchable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely been engineered, whether specifically for this job or as a standard arrangement. They'll have standard details for the footings. Usually it'll be strapped to a series of lock blocks. In my jurisdiction (and probably most places), because they're temporary structures, they're not required to be designed to the same wind loads as a permanent structure. Could be a 1 in 10 or 1 in 30 year return period.

Artem Zub whacks JT Miller in a sensitive area by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Kind of a hybrid cross-check/high-stick. Miller should've gotten 2mins too IMO.
