Did anybody go see Ryan Thelwell last Sunday at Nat Bailey Stadium when he was there for WinterBuzz?

Just a word of warning Robbie... I think there are MANY on this site who follow the Seahawks.. I'm not sure if a single thread is going to be sufficient. Nor is it mandatory. Feel free to start various threads in this section on the 'Hawks. No need to leave them all in just one thread ... (same can...

21-14 Chicago at halftime. The Seahawks defence must really contain Chicago in the second half if Seattle is to advance. :cr:

If 58,452 packed BC Place on October 1, 1983 to see the final Soccer Bowl '83, I'm sure they can draw the same if Beckham came to town. Although the Whitecaps only impress a certain amount of people in Vancouver, I'm sure international soccer celebrities are still a different story.

Owned by the BC Provincial Gov't, managed by PavCo, a crown corp as well. That became a major issue in 1989 when the BC Lions were put up for sale. Potential buyers Jimmy Pattison, Peter Toigo, and maybe Steve Funk all backed out of their bids because they also wanted ownership of the stadium too, ...

The BC Provincial Government has promised $1 Million to help pay for the restoration of Vancouver's storm-lashed Stanley Park. Premier Gordon Campbell said the money would come from the Local Motion program and would be conditional on the city matching the grant. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-col...

Darrell Jackson is expected to play on Sunday, but D.J. Hackett and Marcus Trufant are still doubtful.

How are you all holding up during this latest storm?

No Canuck has ever won all-star game MVP, so go Luongo! I thought Pavel got it the yr he and his brother played together for the World and whipped N.A butt. Who did win it that yr, and what the heck year was it anyhow. Or was he a panther already by then? Yes, Pavel Bure was MVP in the 2000 all-sta...

As for Louong getting the MVP for the allstar game, he will have to split time in the most disadvantaged position in order to do so. It would be a miracle to end up as the MVP as a goaltender, with little D in front of him. If Luongo gets a shutout in the period that he plays, he will be up for ser...

It is getting rather political too now as the federal government seems reluctant to pay for the $4 million in damages.
