Reality Check: they were expecting fifty thousand to show up en masse at his arraignment. Twelve people showed.

presser I really liked:
"We didn't make the play offs last year, some things weren't clicking.."
Could have just as easily said "They didn't..." but, said WE. Taking ownership on a team he wasn't even on. Well done.
Acquisitions who played their best hockey in Van. My short list:
JT Miller.
Derek Dorsett.
Christian Ehrhoff.
I would say Markstrom but he may have gotten better since.
Even a casual hockey watcher like my wife saw the poignance and wry wit in the broadcasts. She sat in on other games and was like. “Who’s talking? These people are awful. I like the regular guy(s)”.
She thought Cheech & Shorty worked all the games.
Ciao, old friend. You were…
I know you guys probably don’t give a shit but for me just driving by Rogers …like seeing it in person, it’s like seeing the Statue of Liberty or something for the first time (or something you’ve seen on TV a million times.) It’s amazing. Hell of a game tonight.
Teams that it would’ve made sense for me to root for: I now live in Dallas but I was born in Los Angeles but lived in Arizona for 40 years. My mother grew up in St. Louis and Columbus both. Dad is in Tampa. Brother is on Long Island. Yet… I root for Vancouver
#Canucks
I’ve travelled.. a good bit. Iceland, Scotland, Denmark, Peru, a few islands.
Never been more excited to go anywhere than Vancouver BC.
7 days and counting.

I volunteered in New Orleans for three years after Katrina and saw this dilemma. Multiple homeowners had both federal flood and private water damage insurance.
In short, due to rising water marks on the drywall AND holes in the roof, BOTH insurance agencies loopholed their way…

Uh, try miles and miles of barbed wire fence along a natural barrier of the Rio Grande with a packed border fifty cars deep under two separate nationalities worth of State Police and Immigration Police… but, you were saying?
When Boeser is traded- I’ll miss him more than Bo, who had better production undoubtedly. That prom video moved me in a way few things do. Not only one of the classiest guys in the league, but one of the classiest guys on the planet.

Rough summer guys.
The building I office in had a fire, and the sprinklers pretty much destroyed everything. The concussion clinic I opened in January is now closed.
Mom is dying, The weather has been nothing short of extreme.
But, I still have sobriety, and my new pals on…
@Ty22Best
I wonder Ty, if that IS the new play, right out of the DJT Playbook: tell a lie, then while their sorting it, tell six more. As they are sifting through those, tell 3 more. If you keep them confused long enough, still ultimately, just decide to believe what they want. The weird…
Instead of being at the Kraken game tomorrow night, I’ll be with my mother who is dying, in Arizona. I found a guy on FB I gifted them to who just adopted through foster care. The kid had a rough go, but I hope he has the best time of his life tomorrow.

Just was placed on notice last night, mom went on hospice and is expected to leave us any day now.
Spent time in meditation to be thankful for all she once was, and all she tried to be.

@been_herde
You seem lovely. I know I would talk to you, but maybe try not to judge and definitely don’t take it personal.
I work in mental health, and even people who appear to be very clean, cut and straight shooters really struggle with all kinds of things.
Thank you, thank you to all my

For all the online-blood shed we give, this community rallies around people like none other.

Sure.
I built a model about seven years ago, with all the numbers available to me at that time: revenue/jersey P/O ticket sales, viewing numbers, etc. It was extremely involved, and fairly accurate.
Conclusion: everytime one of the NHL’s money teams (NYR, Toronto, Boston,…
Much more fun than Monday, and still in on the tank. And my pedi-cab driver/rider home was like a disco on three wheels.
I love you, Vancouver. See you guys next time. You all have been great hosts, so much wonderful conversation this week.
This is super special to me, and some of my ♥️ for this team; I love the density of culture, and have I’ve seen all those cultures honored as reflected by the clubs values. For all that is wrong this is one thing we we do right. You would NEVER see that in FL/BOS/COL.

As someone who volunteered in medium and maximum security penitentiaries for 7 years running program, probably not. But what WILL happen (which is what happens to people who can't handle themselves) is he'll get put on "Pay to Stay" program. Basically extortion and a heavy tax…
Times like these- albeit extremely rare- I wished I lived in Van.
I’d be hi-fiving every Uber driver, chatting up every barista, every jogger wearing a Canucks hat.
I mean, it’s OK, my hockey-talk is relegated to Twitter, and a handful of hockey friends spread across the…

It touched my cheek and whispered:

twitter make it to Dallas, look me up, and I’ll return the favor. Y’all have been great hosts.
My whole 20th year of sobriety has been a walk of (what seemed like) a forced humility.
Truth be known, at this time last year, I thought pretty well of myself, my wits, and my life resume.
Anymore, I’m just a dude with some struggles, a lot of gratitude just who butters his…

disappointments in my tenure. For me personally, the biggest let downs that is. Some, are LTIR* related and not-personal to said player… but still disappointing in how things worked out:
1. David Booth

3. Jordan Subban (bust)
4. Trymkin…

Hey Josie, the day my ex spouse was killed I was mentally unequipped to make a nutritious meal, hence, eating out. I was also ill equipped for small talk.
That is why I told OP: don’t take it personally, you may be have no idea what’s going on.
Here is something you don’t hear everyday.
I had lunch with a therapist from Dallas that I’ve not met today, turns out he’s a Hockey fan, and he said this :

#Canucks
have the best logo by far of any in the National Hockey League.
It’s strange to me, sitting on this empty nursing home bed, that an abundant life, military career, accomplished nursing career and the trappings of a hard-earned suburban life have been reduced to an empty bed, and a few framed pictures of family.
All my mom once was, is now…
There was a guy from Twitter, hockey guy. Reached out to me in a while back, in a pretty bad way with mental health, alcohol.
100 days later, this guy has a whole new lease on life. Dropped by the office today to bring me a gift.
Man, I love what I do.

Yay! Got tickets to Game 2 for the wife and myself…. Which, once I see Seattle means I will have seen 31 of the 32 teams in the NHL.
First person to guess the name of the team I have not seen gets a door prize.
More and more glad every day that I bought this back in the day.
#canucks
Funny story about that too. They wouldn’t ship to America, so I had to trust a perfect Stranger from EU to buy it at the store and send it. Met him in a Facebook group. He did me straight.
When the wife was at work, I bought a box of cookies.
I ate the whole thing, and intended to cover up the crime by placing in a couple layers down in the trash.
Which was right next to the empty cookie container she hid from me yesterday.
We’re perfect for each other.
Recovery is just the coolest.
Seven years ago, Hilary was in sober living after escaping a violent abusive situation, alcohol dependence, and a life of Heavy Trauma that is her (not my) story to tell.
We met and worked out twenty or thirty songs, both being musicians. I gave…

I have a theory that I think is pretty well. Founded from working in the field of addiction for 20 years.
Children are like sponges. From birth, they soak up all the bad energy they are surrounded by.
Whether they verbalize it or not doesn’t mean they’re not affected by it .…
