I might be missing the #Canucks game but I saw two dudes hula hooping while playing violin.

I'm fancy like that.

I'm at UBC for a show tonight but will try to peek at my phone to keep up with the #Canucks.

I'm not an expert but we've had this LG for 8 or 9 years and it's been rock solid. It does all the stuff we need and hasn't broken down.

After the terrible start to the year by our D, we fall back into it at the last minute.

Good game #Riders.

It looks like Bluesky doesn't handle YouTube preview timestamps properly so you'll have to follow this link.

It's interesting to see the #Canucks powerplay from 43 years ago. They finished off with a beautiful cross-ice backdoor pass from Ivan Hlinka to Lars Molin!

Here's a lower angle shot where Brodeur doesn't look so tiny!

With the low def and washed out colours of TV in that era the #Canucks Flying V jersey really pops.

Richard Brodeur looks tiny in front of the net.

He's listed at 5'7" so some of that's probably an optical illusion from the lens since his shoulders should be over the 4" crossbar.

The Smythe division was pretty tight at this time in 1982!

From here that looks like a weak call.

Marugame understands kintsugi, and by extension, the Vancouver #Canucks.

I've got my Comets jersey here to support the AHL players!

I wasn't a fan of the Sprite ones, but I really like the originals. They looked sharp in-game.

Put me in coach. I'll probably last half a shift and be taken off on a stretcher but it'd be worth it.

Rule 53.7 covers the penalty shot situation Shorty mentioned.

Actually, I think the stick throw falls under NHL Rule 53.2 rather than 10.3.

Throwing the Stick in 10.3 Ian about a stick thrown from the bench.

Throwing the stick is a rare one.

Desperately trying to figure out anything about MacEachern. Google thinks he still plays for #LetsGoBlues.

I would have caught the whole lap but I stopped to see Vlad hit.

I only caught the very end of Willander's rookie lap.

My Henrik jersey didn't work against Montreal and my Boeser jersey has always been bad luck. Should I try the Comets tonight?

Imagine paying $15,000+ and then leaving "early".
October 28, 2025 at 6:36 AM
I was going to ask if trying to score there was the 'advanced stats' right thing to do despite it seeming stupid to me, a casual.

Bsky says no.
