5'10" so a small guy, not much of a skater so he won't be a fit with the Sedins. Can play both wings though and has a good shot. Would be interesting to see where he fits into the lineup, if at all.
I posted a lot about my job here, I figured it's appropriate to bookend it.
I've been let go. Got two weeks notice yesterday by email. Some shit was happening with the area I was working in and they have nowhere else to transfer me to since the company has no other open positions.
I'm relieved in some sense, but I hate losing the income. I called my manager from my previous job at retail and I got that job back. I figured I'd keep myself busy and at least have some income come in as I look for new permanent employment.

The Norris does mean nothing though!
Dopey promises he won't but 25 other guys will.
Kinda neat that the current Blue Jackets were built without any blatant tanking. They went on that big run to take themselves out of the McDavid sweepstakes.
They have Ryan Murray at 2nd overall but I don't think he's playing that big of a role (15-18 min per game).
Atkinson - 6th round
Wennberg - 13th overall
Werenski - 8th overall
Foligno - trade
Saad - trade
Bobrovsky - trade
Dubinsky - trade
Gagner - signed
Hartnell - trade
Jones - trade (for 4th overall Johansen)
Jenner - 2nd round
etc
Current management group has been there since 2013 but there are some pieces from the previous regime too (Atkinson, Dubinsky, Murray)

If there's one thing the rest of the league can learn from the jackets it's that having a high quality 4th line is essential. It's time to move on from the Ben Smiths and Matt Martins of the world. Sign skilled free agents who haven't found a home, and call up your prospects.
Freddie the Goat doesn't count btw

It's too bad we're stuck with Matt Martin for another like 8 years. I understand that he is acting as a mentor to some of the young guys like Marner but meh

Blue Jackets are 1st on the power play, tied for 1st in goals scored per game, and 1st in goals allowed per game. Add 4 scoring lines, solid defence (Jack Johnson is #6 in the league in +/-), and Vezina-quality goaltending and you have the hottest team in the league.
Hey c'mon, Martin's contract is up the same time as Nathan Horton's. We got the veteran leadership angle covered.
Columbus should be lauded for having cobbled together a decent D corps (which is still mostly being carried by Bobrovsky, but it's not bad, and Werenski is a beast) but I'm not going to give 'em any credit for Jack Johnson mysteriously becoming good
no one could have predicted that... he's been almost Roman Polak bad the last few years!

Thanks guys.
Yeah, I'm not upset at losing the job, though I'm not exactly happy at losing stable income. At the end of the day, one of us was going to pull the trigger - either they let me go or I quit. Their opportunity came up first.
I'm just glad that my old boss at my retail job likes me enough to take me back.

That's really shitty of them to do it right after the holidays tho. If they did it before you could of managed your spending accordingly. At least I would be pretty pissed about it.

I'm not saying anything illegal but I am ready with a closet stick to fight people. Just tell me who
How long before we stop marveling at the BJs and start hating them for being so good? Will probably require some playoff success at a minimum, maybe another full season at the top. Let's see how long they keep the facade up for

Quick I will keep my eyes open for any opportunities in your native West Victoria.
Thankfully I didn't spend all that much during the holidays. Though I was thinking of getting a new car and/or going on a trip. Guess that's on hold lol.
The situation at work started during the last week before the holiday break, and I was already off. So something developed all of a sudden basically.
The People of Winnipeg.
Bless. Thanks Soc. I know you've offered me a lot of advice and tips from the last year regarding situations at work for me (as well as others here of course), and I just wannna say that I greatly appreciate it.
Next season for sure, especially if they win a series or two and Dubinsky gets up to some fuckery.
Nutivaara is also a piece of the defensive puzzle and he was a 7th round late bloomer at the last draft. He still makes rookie mistakes but he's a very solid puck mover and he's doing good work with Murray on the 3rd pairing.
As for JMFJ, I'm not sure what to think. It's probably a mix of him having a good year, less distractions, less minutes since he has only gotten 2nd pairing minutes, and then the hiring of Brad Shaw can't be overlooked. No reason to think that being the defensive coach for the Blues and developing those guys can't translate to making the entire defensive core more sound.
Besides, if a lucky year is all that it is for him then that just makes him more sexy for the expansion draft. I'll take that.
I'll hire you to be my assistant, Quick. Your salary is tacos, a bookshelf, and $110 in gamestop store credit.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaah. "People" are "seriously debating" huh.
Is Ondrej Pavelec almost as good as Carey Price? Maybe, maybe not... but the fact that we're having this discussion is telling, isn't it?
That place sounded like weird garbage and yeah I'm sure it sucks it sounds like you're lucky enough to be able to work a backup job while looking for something better.
So my girlfriend has been sleeping over at my place for the past couple of days. For really crappy reasons, some outside her control, some within her control, she's homeless and got her dog stolen from her.
I've started to really dislike this person because she is spending my money excessively. I stupidly gave her my credit card and also rented out a car for her under my name.
The car rental cost me around 220 dollars for a week. I let her have it because she needs to get around. But this girl has no Canadian citizenship and no driver's license. So the whole week I've been stressing thinking what would happen if she was pulled over. And to save money I decided not to pay for insurance on the car rental. Idiot move on my part.
And the credit card, Jesus the credit card. It went up to a $1300 balance when it was in my hand, spending on her. I'm fine with that. But we were together at a gas station and both driving home. She said she wanted some Tim Horton's but I wanted to go home right away so I gave her my card and told her to tap the card for Tim's.
I didn't think anything of it but she kept the card to pay for doing her hair the next day and other stuff. A couple of days later and the balance is up to $2200.
I texted her I want the card back and I want to return the car rental because I can't sleep at night otherwise. And that I don't want to see her anymore. I told her this today at 6am while I was on the train and while she was still asleep at my place. She called me and said "don't bother calling me again after tonight" and I'm like "holy shit, she actually doesn't want to be with me, thank the God almighty above".
So today we are going to meet up so she can give me my stuff back. I'm incredibly happy but at the same time a little sad. This girl is homeless and she will be fucked without me renting her a car or her having any spending money. So she's calling me an asshole and I feel like an asshole because I'm literally fist pumping the air in happiness that this relationship is going to be over. I'm super happy anyway.... Is this wrong that I'm incredibly happy?

So long as she still isnt sleeping in the room she has leased with her ex...in the same bed...
You're not responsible for another person's life decisions, but I hope things work out for you, Monty. Sounds like the situation may get worse before it gets better...
Yeah, for sure man. Income aside, I didn't want to have too much free time and to just keep myself busy.
I went through about 3 months of unemployment within my company as they were sorting out my area transfer at the time in early 2015, and I was losing my mind after a month off. I went back to the same retail job to keep myself occupied (and paid).
Nah man. You're not responsible for her. I assume you haven't really been dating for a long period of time either,

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Finally got around to trying VR Sports Challenge this past weekend, including a few of the hockey bits (first person goalie, as well as breakaway sessions). Wish there was an option to disable the glowing puck for the goalie sections to get the true challenge of trying to see where the fuck it is with a gazillion bodies in your way.
It's simplistic and gets repetitive, but I can see a good NHL Hitz style of VR game working out if someone can figure out how to properly do movement/locomotion for the non-goalie positions.

No one is *seriously* debating that, anywhere.
Your work environment always surprised me. Seemed pretty dysfunctional. Bittersweet now, I know, but I'm sure you'll look back at this as a great development.
It's not wrong. It's a lesson learned for you to probably do things differently the next time. Don't put yourself out so much to help someone else avoid suffering the consequences of their own behaviour. You can help out without providing a car and credit card. And she should be grateful for that.
you dun fucked up
but seriously though, lesson learned for next time, don't hand out your credit card/credit.
