I'm an old fart who lives off grid, loves symphonic metal, rides a motorbike when the Canadian winters allow. Former award-winning journalist, thinking of coming out of retirement and running old-school D&D games again.
Listening to Manny Malhotra, I can't help but think he's six times the coach that Adam Foote is.

I'm gonna make a #canucks game-day bingo card. I think "Demko injured" would be free. Other markers would be when Foote says "Resilient" or "resilience."
Another would be Foote saying "we can't those mistakes."
EP40 falling down, natch.
Other elements?

Listening to Ken Daneyko talk about how he wanted to be around for the New Jersey Devils rebuild and be a leader for the transformation makes me really despise Quinn "Quittin'" Hughes for bailing.

In retrospect, I'm stunned that our Maple Fascist (Pierre Poillievre) (a) recognized what a well-crafted speech was (since he's never demonstrated an ability to do more than utter tired, often false talking point slogans) and (b) made the comment in the first place.
What a tool.
We need better.

Pierre Poillievre is such tool.
"Yeah, it was a nice speech but WE NEED PIPELIIIIIINES."
What a fucking tool. He's a MAGA fuckmuppet.

You know what would be swell? If there were some means in the American Constitution to remove a president who was mentally unfit, and Senate/Congress actually invoked it.

So Adam Foote is upset at the lousy body language of the #canucks veterans. Lordy, we've been seeing it for forty games this year. IT'S HIS JOB TO TACKLE THAT.
Bench some of the veterans. Take away their privileges (no, you don't get to skip the optional skate. Skip it? Fine. You're suspended.)

Holy crap. Just looked at the slow-mo play of the VERY FREAKING OBVIOUS Bills catch that was ruled a turnover, and holy crap, that was bad.
I spent 23 years as a minor league football official.
The NFL fucked up. That was plain wrong.
