  1. This is not good! The heads that are going to roll are our troups! If we look like we are abusing prisoners it will only inflamme the hatred towards them. Our armed forces need to be building respect. We are not the US!
  2. First, Jagr has to defend his fellow players. Second, he does criticize Kovalev obliquely. Third, he has a solid point about Carbonneau (as much as I love the guy, I think he did a poor job managing the rough patches). Fourth, the Habs better be careful! They are squandering talent, but it may be the up-and-coming players that will get dissolusioned. I hope things are taken care of properly ....
  3. Game #4 Knights turn things around, 5-2. Lil' #### with 1 assist. Series now at 3-1 for the Whalers. The knights are on the ropes, but not out.
  4. So, if we make projections based on the fact that their are 127 homicides in Chicago in only 4 months, then the annual tally will probably be around 390 homicides. That means that one US city accounts for the equivalent of nearly 2/3 of the whole of Canada's homicide rate. Last year there was 658 homicides in Canada; the highest tally ever. And what? Canada is arguably less racist, and bans hand guns. Could there be a connection? As an addendum, I'd like to suggest that the homicide rate in Canada would probably decrease if the US banned hand-guns, seeing as most hand-guns enter Canada from the US.
  5. Yes, a source would be nice ... seems like a lot of speculation!
  6. Game #3 3-1 Whalers, end of second period. Kostitsyn has the lone goal for the Knights.
  7. Sounds like a good option; however, I doubt that we will sign him since this is a prediction from a fan, and these sort of predictions tend to go nowhere ... Bob has his own rhyme and reason!
  8. Excellent! Glad to see Grabs get the overtime winner!
  9. Their goalie seems to be outplaying ours at the moment. Price let in 2 goals on 9 shots, while theres has let in 1 goal on 20 shots! (At least we are getting our shots on goal.) Any one see what is happening beyond ths stats? Was the goal flucky? Are our shots not good shots?
  10. Maybe the team is just running in to a hot goalie, when their goalie is going cold.
  11. Kostitsyn from Kane and Manson.
  12. I can't believe you are making this arguement. First, condoms don't kill. If anything, condoms protect. Secondly, some sex offenders must be chemically neutered. Also, they must go to therapy to deal with their predilection. The equivelant of denying criminals and crazies guns, would be killing sex offenders, because not everything is about their genetils. Rape and pedophilia isn't always about sex, often it is about powere. Hackers are seriously monitored. They often have limits on what sort of computer they are allowed to own, what sort of network connection they are allowed to have etc. Banning a thief from going to a store will not save anyones life. It may save someone from losing merchandise, but it will not save a life. Whereas, stopping criminals and crazies from owning guns would save lives. A more accurate comparison would be, should we stop people convicted of drinking and driving from owning a vehicle? (since a vehicle can be a lethal weapon.) Well, I think this is a hot debate, and that a person who does drink and drive should have their driving rights altered to some degree. Personally, i think that if you drink and drive and end up killing someone, that you should never be allowed to drive again. Killing someone is no joke. Now, should you stop a crazy or a convicted fellon from driving? Well, the difference between a car and a gun is that a car CAN be used as a weapon, but is primary function is that of a vehicle; whereas a gun IS a weapon, and really has no secondary use. Anyway, this is a gun debate, and for the life of me I can't understand why American's hold on to their rights to own hand-guns. Rifles, ok. Keep rifles ... but handguns. They should be banned IMO. I don't care to debate this, just stating my opinion.
  13. Wow, they get slammed 5-1 again in game 2. Something is up. For the last little while the team hasn't been scoring much. I wonder if some of the players are playing hurt. Kostitsyn should be lighting it up!
  14. Gainey has already stated publicly that he didn't trade Souray at the trade deadline because he wants to keep him. So I don''t know why people expect Souray to be moved.
  15. Who cares about the Leafs? This is a thread about our first round pick, not about who the Leafs will replace Sundin with. I could care less if they replace him with a garbage can. Read the subject of the thread before you post.
  16. Knights get slammed 5-1 in game 1.
  17. Noyce! Can't wait to see Grabs and #### in the line-up!
  18. I have no source on that either, but I remember hearing the story. So I can confirm, there was definitely a story about a woman/couple who wanted to name their child Spatula. I like the name Metalica for a girl, but I get the feeling that you are somewhat determining/limiting her life by doing so.
  19. You have a penchant for hyperbole. No one, aside for the voices in your own head, is making a "big fuss".
  20. Kostitsyn has seemed to cool off in the playoffs for some reason. Wonder if he is playing hurt.
  21. Dogs win 4-2. Danis gets the win. Sauve back him up. Price no where to be seen. Odd, since he got the first star last game.
  22. You guys need to break out a dictionary and check out the difference between racism, xenophobia and sterotype. Also, generalization would help too. My opinion on this: these cops should be seriously repremanded. They should be made an example of. There is no way that this sort of behavior should be tolerated from the police. They should be setting the example for everyone to follow, therefor they ought to treat people with courtesy and respect (two words many American cop knows very little about --- cops in general are bad, but American cops seem to thing that they are all sarges, and the world around them is one giant boot camp -- at least when they perceive that you have broken the law in some way (speeding, having your tail-lights burnt out, running a pedestrian crossing .... etc.!)
  23. Actually, Quebeckers are NOT a race. Perhaps caucasian is a race, but Quebeckers aren't. It is a culture.
