Jerk.

I suppose we should have known better, though.

 

[1HF]

Didnt you used to have a different name?

And why is it using my old av? Creepy.

I hope he gives me a head shot.

Even at 500 meters, I am a dead shot....



It's open season on Canadiens in the US as they flee back north from Miami!

Liberace?

Sorry, Lance

 

[KingOrfeo]

Sorry for your loss, Lance. How much do you want for her body?

(If she's an orca there's a lot of meat on her, and if she's human, mind your own business.)

Free Willy?

Sorry for you loss.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Well played Lancemeister. (If only you had had her in the Dead Pool)

 

[islandman]

Rip Granny.

A sure sign that your time among us is nearing the end.

Majestic Matriarch RIP

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/orca-j2-granny-dead-killer-whale-1.3919060

The whale identified as J-2 — and known more affectionately as Granny — hasn't been spotted since Oct. 12, Ken Balcomb of the Centre for Whale Research in Washington state, said in a statement issued earlier this week. That was when Balcomb last saw Granny leading her pod north through Haro Strait.
The matriarch of J-pod was one of the first identified by researchers in the 1970s. Based on studies of her family group, it was estimated she was born as early as 1911 — making her up to 105 years old.

"Perhaps other dedicated whale-watchers have seen her since then, but by year's end she is officially missing from the SRKW population, and with regret we now consider her deceased."

While the individual causes of death vary, researchers blame the overall decline of the population on a shortage of their primary food — Chinook salmon — and high levels of toxins in the blubber, the result of pollutants in the water and food.

Balcomb said in years in which Chinook and other fish stocks are poor, the orcas are forced to metabolize their blubber, subsequently releasing toxins into their blood and organs.

Miami? Makes sense... Bettman has turned the NHL to a level of "Moneyball" unheard of in ANY of his predecessors.

Only US teams with any cred for me are the 4 out of the "Six"

I'm about as expert as anyone else around here, i.e., minimal substance cloaked in maxi verbiage, eh?

I would say, based on what you've posted so far, that you have the joe average hockey fan amount of NHL business knowledge...which is a polite way of saying you know next to nothing compared to me.

That's not an insult, just a statement.

Statement correct. Merely shooting from the lip, to fit in appropriately.

What's always fascinated me about this place is why such erudite and insightful folk continue to hang out here.

I'm looking forward to more meaningful debates on such worthwhile topics as cetacean mortality, e.g.

 

[Lancecastor]

There's been a species-wide mortality event in the Bay of Fundy for the past two weeks and so far, nobody knows why.

The new Tidal Power turbine is having a suspicious eye cast towards it, but I think it's more likely a post-El Nino temperature inversion, myself.

Maybe Trysail has something to add. With a chart!
