Coconuts

Maple syrup..? Maybe? I dunno, there are folks on this site who'd certainly have better understandings of the matter, but doesn't Canada have infrastructure issues? It's been a long time since a lot of the things Canadians consume and utilize originated in Canada. Globalization, trade, and so on have affected that. As have multinational corporations and country based organizational monopolies like Bell. Hell, it's easy enough to dig and conclude that most places folks buy their food fall under the banner of a handful of large companies. It's easier to buy local for things like produce, liquor, and so on, tougher to do for other things. Countries import a lot of what the consume, and every country isn't an economic giant. And really, the average person who doesn't have a large amount of disposable income is probably going to opt for the more cost effective option most of the time, that's just the economic reality.

That's not necessarily even a simple thing to do for the average Canadian nowadays

Swarm would be interesting, maybe something like the Stingers Could take it a step further and jump to something like the Hornets

LA's lost to Edmonton in the first round the past two seasons, maybe third time would be the charm?

LA's punched their playoff ticket Vegas has four games remaining and plays Minnesota, Colorado, Chicago, and Anaheim Blues are three points back of Vegas and basically need them to completely collapse to get in

I was chewing through this earlier, it's more BC-centric Even the abstract paints a rather grim picture, hopefully things improve over time The state of long-term care and elder-care in Canada is unsettling to think about as someone who's parents are approaching their mid 60's Most folks don't want to end up in any sort of facility, but some needs and scenarios are too demanding and complex for family and loved ones It doesn't help that facilities such as retirement homes, long-term care facilities and so on are expensive, even on the cheaper side of the spectrum I don't know how any of this is resolved, and the issue will likely draw more attention as the aging of the Canadian population accelerates, without the federal and provincial governments stepping up and spending money https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/anti.12711

I think that'll be the reality for a lot of people going forward, possibly sooner than later. I think retirement being a norm will be a thing of the past, Gen X and older may be the last generations to have retirement as a widespread norm. Lot of middle aged and older folks are having a tough time just getting by now, I don't envision things looking any brighter going forward given folks have been living longer and longer. Folks 85+ are one of the fastest growing demographics, over the next 25 years the age 85+ population could triple. Factor in an aging Canadian population, rising costs of living, and several other factors and I question how folks are going to get by without working in some capacity. Lot of younger folks don't ever expect to be able to retire nowadays. https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/as-sa/98-200-X/2021004/98-200-X2021004-eng.cfm

800+ games, nearly 39M in earnings, approaching his mid 30's, probably continues to play over in Sweden. Dude could be doing much worse.

Karlsson after scoring the winner, dude wants to return to the playoffs so bad

I can't say I'm a Kucherov fan either, he's a phenomenal talent but he's also a dislikeable, arrogant prick His post-cup press conference bit after beating the Habs cemented my dislike, his giving zero effort at the all-star game wasn't a good look either I get it, guys want to go on vacation, but he didn't even pretend to care, and that's a pretty bad look even to those who don't care about the all-star game like myself

Absolutely. I was happy to see Stamkos get a cup, but they've more than had their fill of contention and I hope they don't contend again for a long time.

I'm aware, I just like seeing them lose I was rooting for Tampa when they were gunning for the first of back to back cups, but two more consecutive cup appearances and another cup win soured things for me I'd like nothing more for them to decline and fade into a lengthy rebuild, they've had a lengthy period of top tier competitiveness that stretches back to well before they won the first of those cups Bolts fans have been spoiled af

Isles pull it off and jump up to 89 points Washington, Detroit, and Philly all sit at 85 now, hard to see them reeling in the Isles Pittsburgh's likely the only team that can and they're three points back with three games to go That head to head Pens/Isles game at the end of the season could very well decide seeding

Isles/Habs going to OT, huge point for the Isles

Tkachuk with the shootout winner, nice to see Tampa lose

Why'd you have to say that out loud, now they'll find a way to keep him because the cap doesn't apply to Vegas

Caps lost earlier, this vaults Pittsburgh into the second wildcard Isles tied at 2 with the Habs, could pull away tonight

Helluva night for Sid, 10th all-time and now 1k

Pens do it, that's likely it for the Wings So close, but no cigar

Leafs couldn't even be a Devils team missing Jack Hughes, they won't go far with tending like that

Pens and Wings going to OT, extra point is massive

He'd probably be 5th all-time if he hadn't missed all that time during his prime, and likely not far behind Howe He could probably still reach 5 depending on how long he decides to play

Yes

Regarding Hronek, there's also something to be said about not pissing off Hughes, who's had a career season playing largely with Hronek. Hronek clearly works well with him even if his production has tailed off. It's taken this long to find him a quality RD who also has some semblance of a productive offensive game, do you really wanna walk away from that over what'd probably be a few hundred thousand?

Then it may be he has to play elsewhere. He'll be 34 in December but he could probably get a three year deal with a raise somewhere.
