Wonder what is the purpose of this? https://www.nhl.com/canucks/roster The thing I noticed - when I used a VPN based in the USA it still came up in metric. Annoying. edit: now it shown in imperial again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no spring chicken either, but I've never in my life heard anyone I've spoken to refer to height or weight in kg/cm. Keep the numbers smaller, until they need to be bigger is my rule.

Nice fella, etc. but I want to see these guys act like a pack now. Yeah. It's especially hard when he used to do it in his first few years, and then just stopped giving a shit. It's one thing for a player to just not have the jam, and another all together for them to just refuse to apply it. Bo's last few years were soft as baby shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a player is under 2M they’re a midget and we should trade them. Over 2M and they’re good. All I need to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time disliking him, he seems like a really good person, but I'm happy to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanPer Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I’m very surprised that very natural 10-based metric system is hard to understand for people and they prefer 12-base system instead. Feet and inches make zero sense. You all have 10 fingers, not 12 lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For booze litres works. More litres the better! I agree! 1/2 litres are delightful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Nuck Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 All I can say is when I go to the pub to watch a game I know my limit in pints of beer, if they ever go metric I think a lot of bad stuff will happen and my lawyer will be involved.
