  1. First Mean Gene now Super Dave WTF :( RIP both of you.

    1. HI5

      HI5

      damn RIP both, didn’t know about Mean Gene; I remember Super Dave used to come on around the same time as Earthworm Jim

      2 days in and I'm already done with 2019 :(

      nothing wrong with 2019

      "circle of life" is just turning

      both were well into their 70s

      full lives lived

       

      what more do people really expect?

      eternal life? immortality ?

       

      you really do not want to greatly outlive your peers

      life gets pretty lonely when all your friends depart and leave you alone

       

      -------------------------------------------

       

      here is an interesting fact about life expectancy of russian men:

      (the expectancy for a canadian male is 81.2; usa is about 5 years less)

       

      The most striking thing about Russian life expectancy data is the difference between men and women. In 2016, the life expectancy for Russian women was 77.1 years, but only 66.5 years for men, an astonishing 11-year gap. Nowhere in the world is the difference greater. In most countries, including the US, the gap is about 5 year

       

       

      and

      my cousin just died last week of health related issues just prior to his 57th birthday - too short of a life in my view .  he deserved another 20 years like gene and super realized

  2. Marchand living by the sword dying by the sword - got speared in the throat tonight I see,

  3. Ahhh WJC - that time of the year when TSN becomes relevant for 2 weeks :D

      I used to like the CFL, but that was way before TSN existed.  Without hockey, TSN has nothing, except for darts - of course!  :lol:

      One of the few times of year I'll actually pay attention to TSN

  4. LMAO - Nylander yet again with an amazing game.... pretty sure he went to Lucic's hockey school in the off season

  5. Hahaha Blues can't beat the Nucks but whoop both hurtin Albertin teams - love it :D

    1. JM_

      JM_

      maybe we can get a christmas miracle and somehow beat Winnipeg tonight, Tampa probably takes care of Edmonton and we end up in a wildcard spot.

      Dare to dream Jimmy!!! (fingers crossed)

  6. Loui is heating up just in time to be moved after the Christmas roster freeze :P Very happy with his game this year - needs to keep putting the puck in the net now

    1. JM_

      JM_

      I was at the game last night, and buddy behind me says "Loui's playing well tonight but I still hate him". 

    2. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      Lol Loui needs to score 40 goals to be remotely worth his contract but he is contributing and not the dead weight Lucic is.

  7. Nylander sure is showing he's worth that new contract :P

      Dubas knew he shouldn’t give Nylander big dollars and term, but he did it anyway.  I’m sure he’s trying to trade Nylander, but can’t find any morons to deal with.  

    3. Shift-4

      Shift-4

      was he benched?

    4. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      Not sure but he played like he was benched :P

  8. Anybody else wonder if Flyer fans whine as much about picking Patrick over Pettersson as some CDCers do about Joulevi over Tkachuk?

      surprisingly the philly fanbase is quite knowledgable , since their hey days of the broad street bully era ,been a closet flyer fan since then :ph34r: and have followed the team since my time playing in smithers and also attending  Watson brothers hockey schools as a kid , i'll add , smithers is flyer hot bed , with home boys jimmy and joe Watson , and ron Flockhart. although hamhuise  has been ruling the roost lately

      Haha, its hard to portray tone online...my first response was sarcastically implying he's there already.

    3. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      No because even as high a pick as he was, it's still not as schadenfreude-y as a 1st overall bust. 

       

      That being said, it's shocking to see how poorly he's played as opposed to Laine considering the buzz around both of them leading to the draft.

    4. Jaku

      Jaku

      Been saying this for a while. He has never adjusted to the size of the rinks and the speed of North American style hockey. He hasn't convinced me that he is a game-breaking player in any sense. I won't say bust, but he should be a top 6 forward for Edmonton already. For what his skills were - he should be a point producing player. He's not and unless I see him start taking over games and proving that he can be a driving player I won't be convinced be belongs in the NHL.

  10. “They were hitting, holding, cutting, grabbing, clutching, hitting,” Nurse fumed. “It’s been going on all year. I do not understand why they are letting everyone play one of the best players in the league so physically. I do not understand it.”

    Oh Darnell how dare people actually hit McDavid lol

      Thanks :) Lol I screw up enough on my own most of the time - I'm curious how that ended up in a hockey article

    3. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      I think it ended up in the article because Mark Sphincter is a lazy journalist who doesn't bother to actually investigate quotes he puts in his articles. He clearly googled it and just cut and pasted the text into his "article".

    4. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      In the article it is funny as he says this:

       

      Beginning Tuesday, when St. Louis visits the Oilers on Sportsnet, our cameras will go in search of such interference off the puck, as McDavid tries to join the play. If it’s there, and we have little doubt it exists, Canadians across the country will see it for the next two days — because that’s the media’s role in all of this.

       

      Mark Spector is on the case!!!

  11. Watching the Molson Canadian commercial - anyone know who their 12 heroes of hockey are on the beer bottles? Owen Nolan is one?? If so why lol

  12. Chiasson has been a nice surprise for Edmonton - anyone else see Chiarelli signing him 6 yrs 6 Million :P

      pluralsight

      No, I don't think Chia would do that. I think a Lucic type deal (7 years, 6 million per with a NMC) makes more sense for Chia.

  13. Ever noticed how any player of any talent who might be traded always has Toronto listed as possible destination

      Amazing how a team who hasn't won a Cup in over 50 years gets such adulation lmao

       

  14. Pettersson with NHL 1st Star of the week - where you at Rasmus :P

  15. Only in Deadmonton is a fan favorite an overpaid 6 Million dollar anchor like Lucic 

     

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Wait, EDM fans actually like him? I assumed he was as maligned as Eriksson.

    2. Jaku

      Jaku

      My uncle tried to convince me that he was still a useful player.:lol:

      He has been since September. It's actually kind of sad.

    3. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      Mark Spector wrote an article about how he has embraced his new role as a third line player and how great he has been lol. At least with Loui we have the cap space to absorb a crappy contract and there is some possibility of moving him in the last few eyars of his deal and only have to eat half his salary - Edmonton doesn't have that luxury and like I have said he's an anchor on that team contract-wise as he has a NMC and 4 more years (he is not going to get better as he ages.) Oh well he fights so they paid 6 million for an enforcer - way to go Chiarelli :P

  16. Would this be the most expensive unproductive line in the NHL today?

    Neal-Eriksson-Lucic?

    1. Rick Blight

      Rick Blight

      How about Bobby Ryan, David Backes and Ryan Callahan.....

    2. Rick Blight

      And you would have to throw Kesler in there somewhere as well with maybe Spezza and maybe Jeff Carter.....

      Damnnnn never thought of those players - we might be able to make a whole team haha

      Ha, I thought Willie Watch was a countdown until LA fires WD.

  19. Kansas City and Kareem Hunt - wow!

    1. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      He is a damn good RB, loved watching him play this season. Very exciting player. Some team is gonna get a steal whenever he plays again.

    2. Quantum

      Quantum

      There's a very good chance he'll never play in the NFL again. Ray Rice couldn't make a comeback, and based on the video of Kareem that was just released, I have a very hard time imaging Kareem will make an NFL return. If I was a player, I wouldn't want him on my team, and I wouldn't be happy if, as a fan, my team signed him -- no matter how talented he is. It's not worth the morale decrease and the bad press.

    3. Green Building

      Green Building

      Good for KC. Only a matter of time before a team takes a flyer on a dude like this. Not quite Ray Rice level, but as close as you can get which is bad enough. 

       

      &^@# any team who picks up these dropped guys, but hey, that's the NFL for ya.

  20. Anyone else thinking Petey is going to eat up a significant chunk of our cap after his ELC expires (I'm not complaining) :)

      He'll get paid and it'll be well deserved. I'm curious to see what Boeser gets.

  21. Is it just me or is Vegas heating up - damn they are scoring goals in bunches!!!!

      Just in time to play us... how typical

  22. Anyone else hoping Laine gets 6 goals tonight???

  23. Anyone else think Gene Principe is the greasiest online personality on Sportsnet or is it just his Movember Stache?
