I think it may have been TSN who likened it to Gretzky being captain but Messier being the real leader... Why not just make Tavares the captain if this is the case?

As the title states, is there anything to prevent a team and player being sold as a rental from accepting the trade then resig ing with the original team in the off season? Has this happened? Always wondered.
If you look at Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) in Canada, it basically stretches from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Sept Iles, Quebec. Roughly 2400km.
I know time zones aren't perfect, but with that much distance end to end. Is it better to live at one end? Even though it's the same time. One end would get more sun or possibly have better sleeps due to later sun rises.
I'm just curious if there would be a preferred end.
On RDS last night this fact came up. I had heard that by the end of October you basically have your playoff teams locked in but that was anecdotal.
So given this info, which team if any do you think could make this happen this season?
I don't think any team in the East could do it. I mean as of right now the two teams I see as boned for the immediate future are Pittsburgh due to massive injuries, but they've got enough points and talent to weather the storm to enough of a degree to easily still be a playoff team. The other is Toronto. Despite their huge win last night they have huge problems as a team and since November it shows. Their saving grace is the non playoff teams this year are s
The Only Team With a Greater Disparity in Shots For/Against per Game than Toronto (9.5) is Buffalo (10) No other team is even Close
nhl.com/ice/teamstats.htm?fetchKey=20142ALLSA...It's just one of those small things that irks me. If my team is 5-3-2 my team is not 2 games over .500. It's even. Winning games and getting points are not equal and it's a shitty way to make teams look stronger. ("Team x is 7 games over .500" with a record of 30-23-7)
Agree or no?
What seemingly trivial thing done by the league, media, teams or fans infuriates you?
As the title asks, how do they get buried beyond a surface level? Does this mean that the earth is larger now than in the past?
Similarly, I have the same question when you see fossil records of things like forests, but they're buried 75m underground
I feel like the answer is simple, and I feel like an idiot asking, but it's bugged me for years.
I'm moving to Newfoundland in 3 weeks to go be a paramedic in a place called Clarenville.
I grew up in Montreal for 20 years and spent the last 3 in Niagara.
My car has Quebec plates, which I've been told to such asap.
I know nothing about my future home province. I'm going to st. Johns next week for some paperwork and to get screeched in at trapper johns.
what is a Newfoundland and what should I expect?
I've never heard of volley companies in Canada. They seem to be quite common in the states... I was curious what they actually can do on a scene? Is it like having more fire on scene? Are they just mfr's?
Ok so first of all, I'm aware the title is baiting you but I want to understand.
I've heard that American medics don't have a ton of training, that even though their Scopes can be wide, they don't really know what's happening when they give drugs and that it's mostly a bunch of if/then algorithms when it comes to protocols as opposed to knowing what a drug does in the body at more than a surface level of salbutamol opens your airway sort of thing.
I ask because the pay in America is atrocious and that was the explination I was offered by more than a few people.
I'm not suggesting that our American friends are lesser or anything dumb like that, I was just curious if there is any focus on t
I thought this might be a fun question to ask and might get some good discussion going.
Of all the players past or present who fall into legend status within the lore of the league, who would your most over rated and under rated be?
For me, over rated would be Bobby Orr. I think it's mostly because fans of him really REALLY love him and consider him in the best ever discussion. I just don't feel that someone who played parts of a handful of seasons can be considered the best. I'm not denying his impact on the game, but I feel like any real conversation about the best should leave Orr in the could have been category.
Under rated for me would be Mike Bossy. Maybe it's because I grew up in
