Love this opportunity for two guys that put their head down and nose to the grindstone all of last year: Bains and Karlsson. If one of them makes the big club, it would be just awesome to see and a great motivation for all the other Abby forwards that we have. 

From an athlete’s point of view, its nice to have a coaching staff basically say “here is where we see you in the NHL”. Even if the odds are stacked against them, it’s a good motivational/development strategy.  

Good on Tocchett and staff 

hope we get more video content tomorrow 

Gran Turismo

Fun movie. A simple but heartfelt story.  Sat in DBOX seats which was fun (the pavement rumble was cool).  I really liked Blomkamp’s use of different/new camera angles. Hope he gets to keep making theatre releases.

I love how the Goalies are divvied up. 
 

In group 1, Tolopilo and Ty Young are learning from Demko, who is one of the best of the best when he’s healthy, facing off against some of the best on the team. Group two has Silovs, DeSmith and Martin, which is essentially the battle for the backup job against guys who are fighting for spots on the team and in the top 6. In group 3 you have Sawchenko and Lemieux with a player group of AHL veterans, even tho they are in the ECHL this year. 

Feeling a bit TERRITORIAL all of a sudden

im not arguing that god is even in human form, why could it be so hard to believe god is flawed though?

Because it leads to incoherent outcomes Dank.  Like I said, a flawed God couldnt be the source of morality.   God’s commands are what supposedly grounds all of morality.  Instead of the problem of evil you end up with the problem of morality!  That’s a major problem dude.

you are asking the wrong person about scripture im  not an expert, no where close... but in my minds eyes "god" is flawed just like us, however they/ it /what have been around forever Im not entirely convinced its a human like being that created this place... but i dont deny its possibility... EP explanation of the afterlife is the most plausible thing i have heard about the subject, but i do not necessarily agree with them either... im sure i could poke holes in it if i tried, but this isnt the afterlife thread its the god thread

The objection is logical in nature Dank.  Sure, scripture informs some of it (God being a perfect being for example) but the problem of evil has more to do with logical coherence.  

If for example, we operate with your definition of God being flawed (rather than a perfect being), how can God be the source of morality? It is reasonable to suppose that whether we should morally do A or believe B because what ultimately grounds said obligations is flawed. Arguably, the consequences for ethics would be disastrous. But I dont think that would be acceptable for religious folk.  So, we modify some of the o.g premises to fix that incoherence and round and round we go.

well its clear you are not hear to have a real discusiion and only choose to play by you rules... havea good day sir

Im not sure you fully understand the objection though Dank.  You can avoid the problem of evil if you dont ascribe God’s value to anything (hence God no longer being blameworthy). But if you do that, you can’t say that God intentionally or willed the world we know.  

For every rebuttal why God would create a world like this that allows for suffering, there seems to be a reasonable counter point.  The idea of an all powerful, benevolent and omniscient God becomes incoherent or unpersuasive.

This is true.  But then the other 28% really need to come up with some facts to disprove what 72% of the world's population believe.  Unless you think it is possible that 5 billion people can be suckered into believing something that isn't true.  Am I am talking about adults here, people who are university educated, not some 6-year-old children in play school...

Humans are fallible. It is very possible that a large majority of people are either being suckered or dont mind being willfully ignorant.

For example, I dont need “God’s commands” to explain the source of our moral obligations.  Yet many people believe morality consists in obedience to God’s commands.

Tocchett name checking my boy Aman w Joshua.  

All is right in the world.  Unless he gets cut. Then Im back to burning everything down.

He has the ability, we saw it in the bubble. He just looked so slow last year. Based off my very limited viewings this year, he looks like he has gained another gear. His skating looked really good on day 1.

his conditioning looks improved.  

If his first few steps/explosiveness has improved as well I’ll dye my hair blonde

Will be good to see Boeser in game action. I want to see how much jump he has defensively.

Spittin Chicklets is probably gonna rip VAN on this one lol.

I like the move tho.  Competition is going to be fierce.

Hoagie and my boy Aman
