Life is tough; sadness is real
Accept blows—learn, don't whine. Those I love have it tougher.
Caustic characters are best dismissed. I must rise above their toxicity, maintain composure, and pursue my peace.

The Vancouver #Canucks and the #BostonBruins are not thinking of swapping Quinn Hughes and Pavel Zacha are they? That would be a major rip-off, I guess they did that in 2011 as well. 😞 In terms of trade, the Bruins got one over the Canucks on June 6, 1986 as well ...

On this day in 1725, the Chameau was lost while travelling from La Rochelle, France to Trois Rivieres, New France. The ship was loaded with gold, silver and copper coins. In the sinking, 200 to 300 people died. The ship was found in 1965 off the coast of Nova Scotia.

Good story. I worked at Myra Falls in 1995/6, went through Powell River on the way to Comox-Courtenay once, final destination being Campbell River. Thought it was a nice town. Smaller places with views & culture 👍 compared to big cities (even with culture/views).

Jerry Potts was a Cree-Scottish bison hunter, horse trader and scout.
He was a force of vengeance on the Canadian Prairies who went John Wick on the whisky traders.
Without him, the North West Mounted Police would have never succeeded.
This is his story.

Hughes, nearing expiry. Could we trade him to NYI along with Chytil and a second round pick for their first overall this year, Dobson, and Horvat or Palmieri or Pageau?
EP40, is an excellent premier centre. He has had a hiccup over the past season and a half. He'll rebound.

Islanders trade package for EP40: first-round pick, defensemen, a centre, & additional pieces. I believe his play will come back - hockey IQ 🆙! Then EP40 & J.T. can continue their silly squabbles on ice more frequently. 🙄
