Master 112

That's amazing, congrats! Love your instrument, feel it and touch it everyday. Love that you suck, every great player throughout musical history felt flaws in their works.

Awesome News, enjoy the journey!

@112 Sweet. I've been playing for about 15 years or so now. Was in a couple bands a while back, although we never did get serious. Did record a 5 track demo album at a studio called The Hive in Burnaby. After that I took lessons for a year of two with a guy named Dave Martone, who's legitimately one of the best guitarists in the country. I'll link one of his videos. That was a while ago though. Haven't really done much of anything since. 

Totally agree.  I can’t help but think of us as all teammates.  Sure, at times, we don’t get along, but when push comes to shove mates are mates.  

It's good to have you back @Cerridwen.

Thanks, guys! I do pop in now and again just to see how everyone is doing! I hope everyone is doing well and life is treating you as great as it possibly can be! I've missed you!!

The problem with subjective is that it runs the gamut. For example some dude in Toronto wanted to guillotine some mice in the name of "art". SPCA and public outcry stopped it. 

I think there's limits to "art". 

But we all have our guilty pleasures. As long as no one gets hurt. 

 Reminded me of this.

People like the Canucks even though they're bad

yup.

I'm only interested in applicants who already know. Sorry, Baer.

Superiority complex mandatory for consideration.

Hell yeah, AJ. You get it.

warm on the island.

Quite warm here in East Van as well. 

warm in Moose jaw

you've invented a new therapy category, the 'friend of jesus complex' 

Not sure what this means but god is fake bro

Your personality is fake bro

I'd take Zegras, Turcotte, possibly Krebs and especially Dach over Caufield. I don't think any of them will be there at 10th, though.

Boldy is a contender, but his skating is atrocious, which is a huge turn off. I guess the question for me is how much he can improve it over the next few years of his development and whether he's close to hitting his best possible ability. I don't know how to evaluate this and won't pretend to, but if Judd's team doesn't think he has good skating potential, I'd hope that they pass on him.

Kaliyev's also an interesting one. I've only watched a bit of him and never really noticed him, but he kept scoring, which is apparently the running joke about him among scouts.

I noticed him too. That's a lot of points to put up on a below average team.

It’s South of Varrock and Southeast of Falador. Remember once  you reach Lumbridge. Don’t  forget to speak to one of the Duke for an anti dragon shield. It’s for the Dragon Slayer quest.

it’s just the other side of bumbridge. follow the road with yellow bricks. you can’t miss it.

Coho was smoked, packaged & sent east.

also cody had a back problem or disease i cant remember, but had to retire early.

personally i like louie. his scoring dried up but he plays a strong defensive game. he didn’t swindel anybody. he scored 30 goals in boston, picking up garbage goals. benning knows that, it was a bad contract but moving him will be tough. benning gets the fault on this one, not louie. louie would have to be moved to a team that has to reach the cap floor and he’ld have to approve the move. 

i think he is here for one more year and then flipped to seattle. maybe he will retire. 

Not sure how you figure that LE has swindled the organization. Bad FA signings are on the GM or, in some cases, the owner. Just my $0.02...

23 pts off predominantly checking role, 6 more with Bo to end the year. Some of the top PK numbers in the league.

Lucic had 6 goals this year, if you want someone to complain about. 

But if you catch it as a Caterpie first, then it will have String Shot and Tackle when it evolves instead of just Harden.

but if it only knows Harden, we can put it on a line with Brock.

I've seen some computer keyboards so gross they've developed a film on them. Basically, if you have to touch it for some reason, you need to take a super heated steam shower immediately after where it melts a layer of skin off  to disinfect yourself. 

@NewbieCanuckFan Who told on me?! 

@Tortorella's Rant I +1'd you because that actually made me physically cringe.

The Han Dynasty was a joke lol, though I am not sure on the timelines, maybe it was done quicker who knows??  It was merely a response to 'JB is building a dynasty'  Though I enjoyed the breakdown comparison, maybe Benning should use more violence.

Ironman I know you weren't defending the LE signing but I've seen others say 'Well LE turned out better than Lucic, score one for Benning.'  Sorry for the confusion.

personally, i’ld like benning to get 2 more years to build this team. if we are still at the bottom of the league, then change him. the rebuild didn’t really start till boeser’s draft. thing is, some of the picks they’ve had will still be 1 or 2 more years till they make the nhl. 

funny thing. everyone on here shouted don’t trade draft picks for players further along in their development. now people are saying we should trade picks for players on the narrow end of a slippery slop. 

my opinion is, you make a plan for your team and you stick to it. 

fans don’t mind a rebuild, as long as it doesn’t take more than 6 months.  they don’t dwell on the trades or FA's JB makes that are good, but just the ones that don’t turn out. 

draft picks, pettersson, boeser, hughes, gaudette, woo, juolevi, virtanen, lind, madden, lockwood, sautner, demko and dipietro.

trades, pearson, motte, baertschi, goldobin, sutter, granlund, leivo, spooner, and schenn

FA, roussel, beagle, ericksson, schaller, stecher,, teves and rafferty

horvat, edler, tanev and markstrom were already here. 

now i might just be a hick from the sticks, but i think that is a good start to a rebuild. 

we need 2 skilled top six wingers and 2 young skilled d-men. 

right now we have 10 bottom six wingers for maybe 3 spots. plus we have to use 2 of them on the top 2 lines until we can find suitable players to take those spots. 

@Tre Mac Lol yeah I mean Pettersson, Boeser, and Hughes are sure looking like fringe pieces.

There's no way we will build around these clearly foundational players.

Some of you people are so silly. You don't realize how good you have it.

meh, I rank them "higher" than the Laffs, Coilers, and Flamers.  Actually....anybody not named the Canucks can go to "h-e-double hockey sticks".

oh you! you know i just woke up

Holiday? You mean I didn't have to go to work today? What a fool.

you've been PUNKED

You still need a bit of luck even if you finish last in the league.  We’ll just need a bit more luck.

It's the Neil young ditty(sung by Nicolette):

It's gonna take a Lotto-luck, to change the way things are

x2, or we won't get too far

So if we're thinkin' now of tankin', we'd better start to swoon

Team needs rejuvenatin', not guys like Spoooonnnn(flute solo)

decent even
