RupertKBD Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, Boudrias said: Habs vs the Russians Dec. 31st, 1975. One of the best games ever played. 3 - 3 tie but Montreal dominated the play. Gainey deep in the d-zone on the left side throws a knee high pass to a streaking Cournoyer on the right side. Tvan takes the pass without breaking stride and cuts in on Tretiak for a scoring op. My mouth dropped open on that play. Like you a Habs fan back to Beliveau. When the Canucks came in I remained a Habs fan as it was easy to watch the early game in the east and the Canucks later. When Polluck didn't name Bowman as his successor I started to waver. Oddly enough, it was a play against Cournoyer that convinced me that orr was the greatest player I'd ever seen...or ever will see... It was an HNIC broadcast and I don't remember much about it other than this play. Orr was at the blueline in the O-zone and one of the Habs managed to chip it past him. YC already had a head of steam going and looked to be heading in on an uncontested breakaway. Somehow, Orr caught him. I didn't think it was possible, but by the time Couroyer hit the Bruins' blueline, Orr was leaning into him and turned the rush into nothing. In a way, it reminds me of Quinn Hughes. Just pure, effortless skating... Weird things sometimes determine a favorite team. I became a Canucks fan when they joined the league, but a few years later, I played in the Kamloops Bantam tournament and went up against Bryan Trottier's younger brother Monty, who was playing for Swift Current. Everyone was talking about this kid, but from what I could tell he was just a decent player....nothing special. Finally I asked one of the guys playing for Swift Current and they "No, it's because of his older brother, Bryan. He got drafted by the Islanders...". After that, I started following the Isles and they eventually became my "backup" team to the Canucks. I almost bashed my head against the ceiling when Nystrom scored to beat the Flyers in 1980. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok politics aside and hockey stories which are more fun. My son plays in a very good beer league in Fernie. I watched awhile back and mentioned to my son about a particular d-man that stood out. He was David LeNeveu's brother. LeNeveu got a cup of coffee in the NHL and his brother AHL and Euro time. My story was that the brother is now a plumber and got a service call to Rob Niedermayer's ranch. When he got there a buddy of his was already there and said they were playing hockey on the lake. LeNeveu said he had his skates and joined Scott, Scott's son, and Rob + friends for a game of shinny. He told this story to his beer league team so I don't think my passing it along is out of line. He said it was one of the best hockey experiences he ever had. He also said Scott was as competitive as ever and able to skate at a high level even yet at 50. You gotta smile hearing stories like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long ago that if he'd ended his retirement and signed with the Canucks, he probably would have still been an effective top pairing D for us. And yes, I'm aware that those years had Edler and Tanev as our top pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont agree at all with hour alists being silenced but A. This is The Rebel that has a history of this kind of stuff and gotcha moment style videos. And B. The Rebel has frequently in the past done things outside of camera scope or edited videos that don't show the entire lead up or actions involved. The rcmp officer in question was acting on their own and not on behalf of the government. So until we see the entire video let's try and leave the insinuations to the tabloids shall we 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their ex-reporters was on the radio a while back. They are the type of 'news' group that look to generate divide. A 'dont let the facts stand in the way of a good story' type group. That is how the ex-employee described them. Also the cop was pretty out of line from that footage. Getting bumped into shouldnt be grounds to arrest someone. That said, once they identify as police you should start cooperating. Didn't watch to the end, once he said 'welcome to blackfaces' Canada' he lost my sympathy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how I know? The 'journalist' was released without charges. That 'cop' should be fired and his arrests should be looked into in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were officers responsible for keeping our elected officials safe. It’s clear this “fake” reporter was very aggressive with one of our elected officials and the police officers showed restraint in how they dealt with the potential threat. Our police are amazing!

Yep the sense of entitlement CPC supporters have to be aggressive has steadily grown over the last 20 years. So has their pearl clutching when anyone calls them on it. And who calls their organization "rebel" in Canada? Only thing missing is a white hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertKBD Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Having a hard time drumming up any sympathy for a Rebel News "journalist". Notice that they're using it as a fund raising opportunity, which is likely what they planned all along.... Can't say that I'm surprised that the blame here is being dumped on Trudeau by the usual suspects.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from experience, when police say you are under arrest you should comply. Working the Granville strip for years, I saw many arrests first hand. If you dont cooperate in that environment you eat the cement, as you suggest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep yammering about it, but it all comes down to Preston Mannings victimhood cult. CPC supporters see themselves as victims, the most down trodden of all Canadians. Its pathetic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
