A back-in-form Demko secures a win for the Hughes-less #Canucks

#PattiSmith is everywhere…50th anniversary tour of #Horses, a new memoir and a great interview this week with @mattgalloway.bsky.social..I have no Patti Smith vinyl, but she did a knockout version of Dylan’s Hard Rain at his Nobel Prize ceremony…and my #Vinyl Saturday does have that song! Genius

Maybe @annemurrayofficial.bsky.social will mellow me out…this is a lovely traditional Christmas album by the songstress of Springhill, Nova Scotia…featured now on my #Vinyl Saturday ….”As the shoppers rush home with their treasures…” Thanks, Anne! 🎅 🎄

My #Vinyl Saturday tires to boost its Yuletide spirit after the #QuinnHughes trade with the best Christmas album produced by a despicable, horrible person…but it sure is fun #PhilSpector #DarleneLove #TheRonettes Ho Ho Ho 🎅 🎄

The #QuinnHughes trade is so depressing, it’s hard to put into words…what a joy it was to watch him play…but management gave him a terrible team to play with, and now he’s gone..I don’t care what analysts say…I’m a fan, and I’ve had it

When is the City of Vancouver going to remove parking on Dundas Avenue heading downtown…? funnelling all that traffic into a single lane because of a few parked cars is ridiculous #vanpoli #Traffic

#Canucks dominate the 1st period, then give up a sloppy goal, squandering all that effort….a hard team to watch

Jon Hamm takes in a movie at a small-town Manitoba theatre…what a guy…great story

I love this story RT www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Caught the last period on PVR…full credit to the #Canucks who really battled hard once they got the lead against the superior Wild…great night for the lesser lights, plus Tolopilo, plus some long overdue luck

What a game Aatu Rätu is having….who saw that coming? #Canucks

Apparently the #Canucks have someone named David Kämpf, and he’s even played a few games….who knew?

The rich get richer, the poor get poisoned.

Update: Richard Hamelin, a forest pathology professor at UBC says the cuts are "mind-boggling." “Once you pull the plug on a program it can take several decades, even with the best intentions, to get these programs going again,” he said.

STOP RESTING ON MY LAURELS

The #Canucks are a mess

Tough loss for the #Whitecaps, as the dream comes to an end….a few fatal errors and a ball that hit both posts without going in did them in…losing sucks

Giveaway by the #Whitecaps costs them…and Miami takes the lead, against the run of play #MLSCupFinal ugh

And a bad giveaway by the #Whitecaps costs them a goal…against the run of play…man, that’s a crusher….2-1 Miami #MLSCupFinal

What a match…#Whitecaps even the score, then blast the ball off two posts, but it stays out…omg #MLSCupFinal

#Whitecaps much better towards the end of the half…but still down a goal #MLSCup

Carlos Delgado was blessed with as much talent to crush a baseball as nearly anyone. He also used his platform to speak out against injustice. @jayjaffe.bsky.social on the Hall of Fame case of the longtime slugger, whose candidacy will be decided tomorrow by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee:

Tough start for the underdog #Whitecaps. An own goal…looking rattled by the occasion #MLSCup

My #Vinyl Saturday continues its tribute to the late great guitarist, Steve Cropper, who died this week, with this appropriately festive, soulful compilation..Cropper was part of Booker T and the MGs, and two cuts on this album came from their own #Christmas record…Ho Ho Ho

The guitar world lost one of its greats this week, with the passing of side guy extraordinaire, #SteveCropper. Also longtime member of Booker T and the MGs…and, oh yeah, he co-wrote Otis Redding’s biggest hit, The Dock of the Bay…playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday #OtisRedding

Collectors item….#Canucks

What is it with blowing up boats anyway? That's not how the drugs get into the States. They come from Mexico in vehicles. So maybe Hegseth should start blowing up narco-terrorist semi-trailers and drug mule mini-vans, and hitting them twice to leave no witnesses and incinerate the evidence.

Man, is this guy lost….#Canucks #Messi @whitecapsfc.com

A big loss for the B.C. NDP and @eby-david.bsky.social , no longer having John Rustad to kick around….#bcpoli

No masks, no swapped out plates, no badgeless enforcement. ICE and CBP: stop being the Gestapo.

I hope Mark Carney doesn’t go near Gretzky

Who hasn’t been there?

Bad teams cough up goals in the final minute of a period…#Canucks have done it twice tonight….Quinn Hughes looks burdened

Horseshoe Bay lights

Such a dominant performance by the #Whitecaps tonight…they ran San Diego ragged tonite…so impressive…bring on #Messi !!!

Red card for the San Diego keeper! 10 minutes left! #Whitecaps up 3-1….

Brian White scores again!! #Whitecaps up 3-0 at the end of the 1st half! WOW

White scores again!!! #Whitecaps up 3-0!!! Amazing 1st half…WOW!

What a start by the #Whitecaps!!! Up 2-0 halfway through the 1st half

We lost the great #JimmyCliff this week…the soundtrack to The HarderThey Come, in which he starred and wrote most of the songs, remains one of my all-time favourite albums…it introduced us all to #reggae before #BobMarley…every track a classic…playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday #RIP

Was fortunate to have seen his superb play, The Real Thing, during its first run in London…so good, and it echoes still….Tom Stoppard was such a brilliant and imaginative playwright RIP
