@RebelsAnonymous @hockeystatcards Against Edmonton… they could sweep.
McDavid isn’t enough to overcome the Ducks batter depth, d-core, and goaltending.

are the ducks just going to get cooked in the playoffs? or do we have a chance?
English
@JJ_Breezy88 @christianw1707 @nickiacoban I mean, most dmen aren’t really performing at the nhl level until the6 hit their prime. Lacombe is a great example. Hinds is a great example.
The real problem is that they need to be competitive while getting better defensively.
Zellweger probably gone in a package for a fwd.
English
@christianw1707 @nickiacoban I think too much is being put into him being in the AHL. Let defenseman marinate in the minors. See too many teams rush guys in the lineup at 20.
We almost ruined Drysdale.
If he’s not with the big club next year is when we should worry. @nickiacoban

Tristan Luneau deserves an extended NHL shot, but the longer he's stuck in Anaheim's system, the less likely he'll be an NHLer.
Luneau had to jump and stick in the NHL this year if his progression was to continue in the right direction. That didn't happen...

Michael Devellano Pucks & Dreams 🏒@pucksanddreams_
I wonder if someone will ever grab this guy and give him a shot or will it be in Anaheim?
English
@EditorialEddie @BennySellick @PLawrenceCAN I mean, given how everything turned out, there really isn't another read. Canada showed up and showed out that they did not want Polievre.
What has exasperated the problem for CPC is that Carney is a good politician and respected across the globe.
English
Yeah, right. That's why Trudeau left with incredibly low popularity—because "Canada is broken" did not resonate.
Fact: Trump's joke that Canada should become the 51st state is the primary reason why Carney is PM today. Canadians react to fear like opossums: they become numb and hide under the status quo.
Doesn't matter. You think Canada wasn't broken back then? Just wait 'til the end of Carney's manufactured mandate when Canada won't even exist as we know it. Bookmark this so you can see that I was right.
English
A lot of the media (and Liberals) are going to use this kind of wording today.
Let’s make one thing absolutely clear: Prime Minister Carney did not “win” a majority because of these by-elections. They were Liberal seats before, and they are Liberal seats again. Nothing changed.
This majority government was not won, it was fabricated by deals with opposition members who were persuaded to cross the floor.
The voters did not give the Liberals a majority. Backroom meetings with a handful of opposition members did.
English
@OliverS_1225 @NHL_Muse He's going to explode next season. They're going to bring in McQueen and the team will have 3 lines with 2 genuinely good offensive forwards, while also having a boost in the 4th line.
This team is going to score more next season... MORE.
English
@NHL_Muse it'll honestly be tough i think just because the forward talent around him is growing as well and this team is projecting to have an insane top 6 so guys might take goals away from him but I do think he'll hit 50 at least once or twice in his career.
English
@wanabeaboss @sarobertsonca I mean… we’ve been hearing this since the campaign.
Maybe Carney is just a centre-right economy-focused Liberal? And the added legitimacy he already has on the world stage is definitively superior at this moment in time than PP.
English
@sarobertsonca Carney is a skilled economist.
However, he has followed all of Poilievre’s platform right down to the gas tax cut suggested two weeks ago.
English
Tonda MacCharles: Pierre Poilievre called you badly educated in economics
Mark Carney: Did he? Wow.
English
@dkreative1 @TLNewmanMTL So you're suggesting that CPC MPs are able to be dooped into vague promises and benefits that may never matieralize?
I could see how they got Polievre as leader, and why Canadians wouldn't want them governing.
English
@TLNewmanMTL I agree a BILLION PERCENT.
But surely the Liberals aren’t that stupid.
They must lure MPs in first with vague promises and commitments that once they’re ready to negotiate (after signing a NDA, no doubt) they’ll give them the juicy details.
English
I'd really like to know what "trying to poach him" involved. So would the rest of Canada, I think.
If anything, it would be good for the Conservative party to reveal what Liberals have been saying/offering.

On a hot mic ahead of a press conference in Ottawa, Conservative MP Billy Morin tells reporters the Liberals are trying to get him to cross the floor, but he has no intention of leaving the Tory caucus Full story here: globalnews.ca/news/11799114/…
English
@saturn92526 @J_MacKenzie3 @Smileyyeg The CPC and its new populist base can't get outside their own heads to recognize that the Left is not a Carney fan. They don't like him because of how economically focused he is.
English
@J_MacKenzie3 @Smileyyeg Right now, our country calls for someone who has a business mind and treats this country like a business… just my opinion
English
The reason it has never happened before is because nobody has ever done it.
Mark Carney is not some fucking genius, he is simply the first PM in our history of a low enough character to attempt this.
Graeme Menzies@GraemeMenzies
MPs aren’t flocking to the Liberal Party because they’ve fallen in love with Mark Carney. They go because they’ve been poached. Courted. Lured. Recruited. Bought. Pick your word. Floor-crossing is the outcome of an active campaign by the Liberal Party to subvert the outcome of the election.👇
English
@JJ_McCullough The problem is the lack of independence from MPs. The reality is also that MPs need to have the freedom to be judges of how their constituency is responding.
Why should an MP stay in a caucus that they feel no longer accomplishes what they were elected to do?
English
Liberal gaslighting about Canadian politics gets pretty exhausting. Like, the parliamentary system literally couldn’t function if we “voted for the person not the party,” but now they’re acting like that’s somehow always been understood as the objectively “correct” way to vote.
English
I honestly think we'll look back on this as one of the dirtiest periods of Canadian politics.
And Carney's time as prime minister will be indelibly linked to it.

@theroyalwe330 @JFreshHockey Neither the loser points teams or the OT/SO winners won in regulation. But one of them did end up winning in extra time, and the other lost.
The only difference between the two is that one won and the other lost.
English
@JFreshHockey By that guy's logic it's not a loser point it's the original tie point. We should be judging the fake wins of OT/SO winners with their cute little bonus point for not getting the job done in regulation!
English
dumb narrative. the Penguins have those loser points because they went 3-10 in the gimmick shootout. In a 3-2-1-0 system OR the pre-loser point system they still rank ahead of all three of those teams
Tom Wilson is the goat@tomwilsondagoat
The Islanders, Capitals and Devils all have more win than the Penguins and Flyers but are going to miss the playoffs because they didn’t get enough loser points
English
@JFreshHockey This is compounded by the fact that at any given time, roughly 1/3 of the league is not competitive for a significant stretch of time. The salary cap has proven to provide long-term parity.
English
@jillyonthehilly This couldn’t possibly be fake for publicity?

@PastorTrey05 Also, is this not the stupidest logic?
“Every other nation that got rid of slaveholding did so because they could have rational debate and come to the conclusion this is wrong…. But look at USA, we had to force people to believe that slavery was wrong!”
English
There were two sides in the Civil War.
And both of them had slaveholding states among their ranks.
One side fought to extend slavery into new territory.
The other side fought to prevent that side from leaving the USA.
Slavery was a moral issue for some people. Not the USA.
English
@ReindeerGames91 @Felix_Sicard Would you say he's very good?
English
But I also think it’s worth appreciating the one player who was on the roster from the last time the Ducks made the playoffs (even though he didn’t play) that is still on the team today. Troy Terry saw all of the lows of the last 8 years and has consistently preserved.
English
Everyone, and rightfully so, will be thinking about what it took to get to this point this season today and celebrating this season. From the young kids having success, the late game heroics, the highs of the winning streaks, and the lows of the losing streaks
English
@JudyLowe15dd @dabyldoya @sarobertsonca Conspiracy theories are so good for avoiding self-reflection, right?
It can't be that Polievre is so unlikeable, has no vision beyond resentment, and cannot lead. It’s the media. It’s “back room deals”… it’s all the things except the stuff w have literal evidence for.
English
@dabyldoya @sarobertsonca Sure why don’t you look at how and why that happened? Oh truth hurts does it? Man when the British won the war they should have sent the French to Timbuktu.
English
Kathleen Monk: "Pierre Poilievre is stronger when there's a minority ... As soon as it trips over into majority territory where it looks like it will tonight, he immediately becomes weaker because the party has the time to find that new leader."
English
@travelworld51 @Arturmaks It’s literally how Canadian politics work.
English
Every MP is elected. There is no “minority government” option on the ballot. Just 343 Members of Parliament who won their seats and are accountable to their constituents. That’s how our democracy works.
English
@Aaronpete_ Did they change their platforms? Or was one party just executing the desired results in far better fashion.
English
Hold on.
You think a total of 14 MPs crossing the floor in a very short amount of time demonstrates the death of the Conservative Party?
How about the quiet death of democracy?
They ran under one platform, and switched without a vote of their constituents to another side.
Even if you think this is a good thing, you can’t say this is the best way to do it.
An election would be the best way.

Tomorrow is the day that Mark Carney wins a majority. 9 additional Conservative MPs are going to cross the aisle next week. The Conservative Party (and movement) is DEAD. Bookmark this.

@CRAStoriesAlt @andrew_leach I wonder if there was any radical shift in British international politics that would have precipitated these issues…?
English
BuT hE hAs tWO dEGreeS?! UK economic performance from 2013-2020 under Carney:
🔴 UK house prices rose approximately 40% between 2013–2020.
🔴 House prices reached ~9x average earnings, a level not seen since 1876.
🔴 Job creation was in low-wage, part-time, or gig economy roles, which is why wage growth and productivity remained weak despite the headline unemployment figures looking strong.
🔴 2013-2020, the typical UK worker saw near-zero cumulative real wage growth, a historically unprecedented 12-year stagnation.
🔴 The UK ran a current account deficit every single quarter of his tenure, making it a persistent net borrower from the rest of the world.
🔴 The pound lost roughly 20–22% of its value vs. USD over his tenure.
🔴 Quantitative Easing ballooned from ~£375 billion to £645 billion by the time he left.
Facts matter bud. You're an idiot.

"There's one thing that's worse than being uneducated and it's being badly educated. And Mr. Carney is very badly educated on economics." -- Pierre Poilievre says, as water dribbles down his chin
English
@BengalValient @andrew_leach So you’re telling me Harper handled that really well… he probably had a great governor of the central bank, eh?
English
@andrew_leach That was a crisis that swiftly handled, whose impact were far more smaller than US & EU due to Canada's rigid system
Shortly after in 2011, we reached a GDP rare of 3%
A lot of us would shoot our left arm to get that economy back
