Question for our Canadian residents regarding player salaries and taxes.

Factors in my wife collecting on mine as well, so I guess it would be combined. -
Question for our Canadian residents regarding player salaries and taxes.
Big Guava replied to Hank's topic in The Aud Club
I live in the Buffalo area. Lest you forget many places are far closer to Canada than they are across town. I don't need to read about Fox news propaganda, I live in the areas where you see it happening and talk to people that are from the area about it. I also go to Canada fairly frequently. So you are getting the equivalent of American Social Security except far less than what Americans get? As of right now when I retire, if I only earn the same and never increase my income, which likely will happen, I will be getting roughly $4900 thru Social Security a month. I believe the "research" I did says the max benefit in Canada is like $1365 a month? Which when adjusted to American Dollars is more like $1011 or so as of today? Did I miss something? -

Yeah, it's so great that some who don't feel like waiting a year or two for procedures since they are so backed up pay to have it done in the US. Tax dollars at work...back up the system so much that people have to pay crazy high taxes AND out of pocket in a different country for a medical procedure that should be free. Cool on the happiness studies. What exactly does that mean? I am pretty happy and since I really am not interested in how much others are happy or not, since that's largely a choice they make, these don't mean much to me. -

Canadian taxes are ridonkculous... Imagine taxes being so high that it is cheaper to pay to go on organized bus trips across the bridge to Buffalo/Niagara Falls and hit up the malls there to buy clothes, losing 1/3 of the value of your currency, if not more, and it is STILL cheaper than buying those items in Canada due to taxes being so high. -

Guess they accepted that he is good to go after he recovered and didn't need to sit out for no reason. -
Will Buffalo be a good place to see the total eclipse of the sun?
Big Guava replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
Yeah we will be...last time this happened I was in Saint Louis visiting some friends and on vacation with the fam. We were at the zoo on a bright, sunny, 96 degree day there...that 3-4 minutes of darkness was a welcome relief...was so weird when all the lights turned on at the same time due to the darkness -

If not, it's still a good place to experience a Total Eclipse of the Heart... Just don't forget to "turn around...wide eyes..." -
He also leads the entire NHL in PPG with 27...think we could use that here? He has as many PPG by himself as the top 6 Sabres do this season. SMFH.

That just is like a kick in the nuts. Where was that production here?

So you don't think players who play 10+ years in the NHL and a bunch of years in juniors and high school get checked 20K times? How many times does a player get checked in a single game? Multiply that times the number of games they have played in their high school, junior, tournaments, college, AHL, NHL career.
-
I'm talking from your childhood thru your NHL career. That number might be low for some of them.
-
So you think these kids playing pickup hockey in their backyards with their friends aren't checking each other? You never played sports much growing up did you?
-
That's what I am saying to you actually...suggest you do more reading and less judging. The greatest cause of CTE are from the accumulation of subconcussive impacts over time. What do you think caused more subconcussive impacts...100 fights or 20000+ body checks from your head hitting the glass or rattling around in your helmet from the time he was a kid? There is a reason why CTE has a high prevalence in bobsledder too...last time I checked they were not getting in tooany fist fights.
-
Fighting isn't why that happened. The micro concussions they suffer far more frequently from the time they are little kids playing are why it happens.

GDT / Islanders @ Sabres, Thurs 3/14, 7pm MSG, ESPN+ & WGR Radio
Big Guava replied to Shoot da Puck's topic in The Aud Club
And the defense has developed along with him allowing the 6th fewest shots in the NHL per game and one of best teams and not giving the puck away in their own end to boot. There are entire periods where the other team doesn't even have a good shot on goal now, which were happening multiple times a period much of the beginning part of the season and last year. They are growing by leaps and bounds defensively this year. If that can carryover and they can put both pieces together next year this team could be very dangerous. -

Gotten a little sloppy but the Isles aren't getting many good chances either. Still only have 16 shots total, 4 in the 3rd
