And they wasted a 1st round pick for a 29 year old Dman with a no trade clause (Pettersson) signed an injury prone goalie to a no trade contract and will be unable to trade Boesser unless he wants out. What a colossal mess we have.

Whatever you think of the trade return, this being the end result of the Quinn Hughes era can’t be seen as anything less than an abject failure by the #Canucks organization, from ownership on down.

The focus of yesterday’s Whitecaps/City of Vancouver press conference was a new home for the team.
But if you looked closely, the real story was a big development play that could accelerate the transformation of Hastings Park.

ANALYSIS | How the City of Vancouver's deal with the Whitecaps could transform the Hastings Park area | CBC News
The City of Vancouver’s history began with a land deal between a government desperate for a product and a private corporation with plenty of perceived leverage.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Wait'll this guy finds out that the first biography of Gassy Jack was written by one of the co-author's of "The Peter Principle" and @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social's mother.
Was just thrown completely out of my writing groove by research.
I needed to know when Vancouver was founded…
And I discovered that it was originally called Gastown. Because the guy that owned the biggest mill in the small settlement was called Gassy Jack.

Big news in Vancouver: Hastings Racecourse has announced it is permanently ending operations at the venerable racetrack, after the province pulled the revenue it gets from the slot machines on site.
A lot of moving parts to a very valuable piece of land in the city.
