Whether ethical or clean

 

The world still wants oil and gas big time unfortunately.

 

I’m the first one to wish for bigger alternative energy solutions to run the world but we aren’t there. And i’d love to be part of the new wave of engineers working in clean tech energy. But there is no option at all for me yet to feed my family in clean tech.
 

I’ve worked in the industry for 22 years. If there wasn’t a huge demand for it then the production would stop as there would be no place to sell the product.

 

The only time in my career i’ve had to shut production in was in 2015 when the saudies flooded the market with their oil and gas. They made it so cheap every one bought off of them instead of us and the states. It was like that till 2017…since then nothing has been shut in. In fact production is ramping up natural gas wise.

 

While Vancouver may be an aspiring clean city it’s very far from it.

 

Look at all the traffic and vehicles clogging the roads down there and Victoria.

 

Look at all the chemical, oil, pulp and paper, fishing, and manufacturing operations are along the fraser river as you fly over Vancouver. Pretty dirty and gross. 
 

Look at that big shipping terminal bringing in miles and miles of ships into the English bay all burning diesel and oil.

 

Look at the busy BC ferry services churning away shipping everyone back and fourth to the island.

 

Look at all the jet fuel being burned at the Vancouver air port.

 

Vancouvers fossil fuel imprint in this country is huge. And it is also very vital to our economy. 

 

I’m not trying to be controversial, it just is what it is unfortunately.

 

This hungry world wants more and more energy and if it’s not provided by Canada other countries pick up the slack and those options are far worse than our “cleaner, more ethical oil and gas”

 

We’re all consumers of it. And I don’t think we should point fingers at others when we are all guilty as the next for wanting our energy demands met.

Go Canucks! As they fly first class on a jet airplane 

 

Sorry to derail thread I promise not to post anything else about it here lol.

 

Cheers!

  rock on!

This is nothing for a professional athlete.  

This is the stadium in my native city Kharkiv where each September 1976-1980 my sport class hold a training camp before start of basketball season in October.

You go from the bottom to the top jumping on 2 legs, then just right leg, then just left leg, then you run as fast as possible to the top to do 25 push ups there.  One coach at bottom, head coach at the top yelling at you faster, work harder , etc. And it was just a beginning.....

 

Good old times

Maybe it was the banana & beverage incident.  AK96 chose Pepsi and maybe Dick Tocch is more of a coke guy.  

Whoa "6" ! 

You're bringing back woozy memories of the sixties:

-banana peels drying on the heat register in the spare room at school, until they were discovered, or was I ratted out by that weaselly Brown-noser Steven again?

-and trying to get high by dropping an aspirin in a bottle of Coca-Cola (and no, I'm not old enough to have been around when real Cocaine was already in the bottle when you bought it). 

-smoking birch bark filled with moss and coughing our guts out (we were so fucking stupid; but not anymore! lol).

 

Until she said, she'd trade some 'grass' for my math answers, and then it was all good; real good.

Got a deal on a "Bali Rolex"?

[Elias Pettersson]

Remember that Milstein is Kuzy's agent.  He negotiated only a 2-year deal for Kuzy so that Kuzy could "cash" in on his next contract.  Don't think Kuzy is going to be cashing in sitting in the press box.  Also, if Milstein was looking for a long-term deal for Kuzy after next season, then that deal probably was in the $6-6.5 million range on a 5-6 year deal.  Do you know what Milstein's commission would be on that deal?  Like maybe close to $1 million dollars.

 

You can bet dollars to doughnuts that if this shit isn't resolved soon, you will be hearing from Milstein.  And not in a good way.  Plus, on top of that, who knows what's going to happen with the Zadorov negotiations.

 

JR, get this shit fixed soon.  You are the godfather, I am sure if you call Ricky he will be picking up the phone...

He just needs to smile less and pretend to be angry about any mistake. Maybe slam the door when he gets to the bench, break a stick, yell a good old curse word loud enough for the folks at home to hear.

 

Toc will love him then.

I reckon being hard on the puck, making quick decisions and not turning over the puck in the neutral zone ought to do it

I did Tae Kwon Do for years.  My best friend was a black belt and then switched to kick boxing.  He was the Canadian kick boxing champion at one point in his weight class.  I hung around alot of tough guys back in the day.  We used to hang out at Richards on Richards every weekend.  My friend used to get into bar fights all the time.  One time he head kicked a guy so hard he was unconscious.  It was literally just one kick and the guy was lights out.  It was scary.  We had to call the ambulance.

 

I probably saw you around in the night clubs if you were there in the 1980's and 1990's...

Bjj is the way to go for self defence, maybe not as effective against multiple attackers but no one goes the hospital or gets sued

It's also on Kuz to perform, which he hasn't done this year no matter where he has been placed. You can't give Kuz special treatment just because Milstein is his agent.

I love Kuz, but he needs to earn his ice time and make the most of his opportunities. He did that last year, this year he hasn't.

BJJ is great, but if you actually want to attack the other person and eliminate the threat there is nothing better than a head kick to knock the guy out or at least leave him unbalanced, and then you go in with punches to the face and body until he is out.  My friend perfected this technique.  It also allows you to stay on your feet so you can go after multiple attackers.  My Tae Kwon Do instructor was an 8th degree black belt.  Dude was like 5'6" and 130 pounds.  He could destroy anyone of any size.  Think Bruce Lee.  BJJ you are going to the ground.  That's not good if you have more than one attacker, it's more self defence than anything, versus Tae Kwon Do which is more of an offensive martial art if you want it to be...

Podkolzin and Raty.

 

Can’t wait, both guys have stepped up this season.

Ok RT, you're the guy, and I have supported you, but your tough love stance with Kuz is starting to piss me off, and many others I'm sure. 

 

Let Kuz play his game, he will come around to your plan eventually...but the press box isn't the answer, and you are losing a goal scoring machine while leaving him twisting in the wind, losing confidence daily I'm sure, and becoming not only a distraction to the team, but as others have said, his agent and all other stakeholders and potential acquisitions moving forward are no doubt watching.

 

 

 

 

Plus you are causing an earthquake to blow through this town Ricky.

TKD is great, I went the Hapkido route, my brother was a "Boo Sabum" and was on his way to "Sabum" before he passed away...he ran his Dojang for many years. HK has served me well many times.

 

I did one long pub/club crawl throughout the 80's everywhere in Vancity, so I saw u for sure haha. 

[Blue]

So now Brock Boeser has Kuzmenko's shooting percentage from last year. What does the Canucks management do ?

 

Really, this isn't that hard for Kuz. Kuzmenko is a talented one way goal scorer. You give him some top line minutes and some middle 6 minutes until he gets out of his funk. It happens to literally everyone including McDavid.

 

Boesers value is an average of all of his seasons. An RNH type deal should be doable (5 million) if he wants to stay.

From seeing Tocchet interviews when he talks about Podkolzin its easy to tell Tocchet Ioves the kid and what he brings as far as his size, work ethic, and the type of game he can play..

 

It's only a matter of time before Podz becomes a full time NHLer.  

He was close to being called up before the injury. Hopefully he can get up here before the end of season for 15 or 20 games in the NHL.  

 

In a year or two I see him as a heart and soul type of player who comes to play every night. Puts up 15 + goals..  

 

Podz when he sttles in is the type of guy teams need to go on long playoff runs.
