  1. Call me crazy, and I’ll hold you to it, but I don’t think that the playoffs are going to happen this season. It’s a wrap. 
     

    Too many players have expressed reservations about it.

      I think we should remain optimistic for next season,.  Perhaps a shorter version of 62-67 games as in years past.

       

      Percentages on a basis with a sliding scale will keep the game alive and give ground to the norms.

      But the time is now to plan for different scenarios and then pick the best out of the opportunity that we arrive to.

      The PA and NHL should be meeting over this and how revenues and contracts will coordinate with all options of plans.

      Pragmatism should prevail.. this is where good leaders shine,.  And others flail like a fish out of water.
      Hockey is a game of smarts.. let that flow from the ice and into open books to calculate the plays needed to keep this industry alive with everything else.

      the smallest “bubble” right now are team’s practicing.

      TBay has 5 ? Players positive..

      either your headlights are on , or off ..

       

      Viruses have no boundaries,  and “bubbles” no matter how well managed will be effected.

       

      i say spend this time sorting out the new protocols for the next season,  whenever that is..

      in Hockey,  that is a blood sport, where body fluids are exchanged in physical contact,.  A lot of innovation could help create a healthier environment for the future to come.

      everything from Private Team Jets to UV and disinfectant cleaning of facilities and equipment on stringent rule basis.

      Blood and Viral checks monthly if not weekly.

      Planning In house/ league set ups now,

      will save the cost factor and system setups needed in the future.

       

      If facing a change,   You grab it by the horns and take control as best you can,

      perhaps even put the ring through its nose.

      ... or it runs you over and cripples you, or leaves you for dead.

      The writing was on the wall because the arrogance of some in the U.S.    no respect for themselves or others.

  4. After the rumours that we could be interested in Drouin I made a video about his time in Tampa

      Great Video, hope you have posted this on the Drouin Thread in Trade Rumours..  kids got swagger, . and in today's game proves he is allowed to have it.

  5. Vintage,. Can you get into the player discussion thread and start one for Philip Larsen?  It seems to have been overlooked, and we regular mooks can't start a topic there.

    cheers boss.

      100% agree with you. .  Good value in this young man,. and has still yet to reach his full potential. .  look forward to seeing him up with the Nucks again. 

  7. I think "Coastal1" is demented,. The assumptions, false accusations, deliberate negativity..  I think he's doomed.    So happy I'm not his dog. ;)   I'm trying to when him down to earth bit, but it may be impossible.
