Nah, he's not Makar and I don't expect him to keep scoring goals at this rate, but he was doing what Makar did last season long before Makar was in the league though so it's not as if this came out of nowhere. He's struggled to stay healthy for much of his San Jose but it's not as if he hasn't been good for them when healthy or that he hasn't produced, the talent is still there. 

He looks good, he looks healthy, he'd def have value to another team as a top end RD at 50%. 

no denying that

Don't keep posting this stuff, JR reads these boards.  He might trade our 2023 first for a 50% retained Karlsson.

He’s played 6 games? Apparently he’s un-tradable by some of the experts on this forum

That's what I'm saying, and despite his not scoring he's got 4 assists. 

I think his cap hit is probably too steep for what he brings but I think there are ways to move him for a net positive return if it comes to it. 

Brock doesn’t have the skating for a top 6 player. Unfortunate but big part of the game now.

I think Bedard will go to Anaheim.  He gets to live the LA life for 7 years until he comes back home...

@J-23 was talking about it the other day, Bedard in Anaheim would be disgusting given the young talent they have on the roster and in the system 

Fiction; Bedard gets drafted to Anaheim falls in with the wrong crowd becomes addicted to everything , contract cancelled.falls out of the bottom of the porn industry, Friends from van come rescue him  and convince him to come back home. The Following year he try’s out  for the canucks makes team but by then  the nhl has introduced a new playoff format. The canucks end up playing Anaheim for the cup after the  6 th game in van. Van ties series and it goes back to Ana for game 7 .the night before game 7 bedard goes AWOL. Canucks lose.   It could happen. 

I think this will be Bergeron's last year, but hey if they tear it up maybe he sticks around for another one 

but what does this mean for the Leafs?

It means they going out in the first round again

Gonna be pretty cool to follow him. I was never a big fan of Crosby or McDavid. Couple of the best players ever but maybe it’s the teams they landed on idk. I will follow the BC kid wherever he goes and hope one day he dawns the Canucks jersey and turns this franchise into a winner finally 

I just hope he lives up to the hype, it'd be neat to see the league gush about someone who's not McDavid 

He's got the skill of McDavid without the character issues.  I'll be buying Royals tickets just to see him play.

like the red wedding but less bloody 

Miller and Bo?

Nothing wrong with Bo spending as much time as possible with his young family, including his baby.

I honestly thought it was gonna be worse, I figured I'd be paying about what I did for nosebleeds last night and I wasn't keen on that. It's still pricier than I'd like but way I see it is I don't know how many more chances I'll get to see em, life comes at you fast and either I or they could die; and Tom's already left twice so who's to say how long this lineup lasts this go round. 

If I'd seen em before with this lineup when both them and I were younger there's a good chance I wouldn't have jumped on it though. But who knows. 

After last night. I don't want floor seats. I want to sit down. The humidity at the Neptune was horrible.

When Miku says it's hot. And she's on stage, I don't know how they were able to perform. They were still amazing. I had to take a break, go into the hallway, get a swig of water. As I was stumbling and probably getting the first stages of heat exhaustion. $9 for water by the way.

Thanks for the pre-sale code! Your the best. @Coconuts

PUMPKIN is tomorrows code if anyone missed out

Happy to help, have fun! 

They've made some good additions up front, I'm not saying they'll make the playoffs but I think they'll surprise some folks

I'd give them 80 points on the season, not much more. 

They're closer to an NHL team than Edmonton.

I’ve noticed over the last year , seasons have been late, like upwards of a month having been a hwys equipment operator taking note of seasonal change came easy. I was expecting fall weather to be no different can’t complain about this falls weather  but signs of an early fall started a little earlier than prior years diciduous trees started turning colour in early sept. Last winter was harsher than the prior 10 winters. So I’m thinking this one may be similar.  

feels like it has already started in smithers. colder and snow on the mountains. almost time to park my scooter till next year.

It's still quite mild and dry on the island, the leaves have been falling for a while and mornings are cool though. The days are shorter but there've been a lot of blues skies and sunshine, seems like a lengthy carry over from summer, which took a while to actually get going itself. 

Est. May 2010.

I guess technology has come a long way 

No pants at home is very acceptable yet no pants in public would not be peaceful

As soon as I get home, one of the first things I do is remove my pants. Perks of being a bachelor living alone.

Being able to not wear clothes is honestly one of the best parts of not living with people 

I hear that, dunno if I'd do anything more than like a fitbit watch tbh, I'm on my phone too much as is 

I have my phone on silent because the vibration or sounds of notifications is too much, and I get to look at my own pace so I'm not constantly looking after every update.

In Japan our house is on vibrate, & I'd like a rotary phone some day.

We dont have the $9 million in cap space to sign him with inflation. 

Just backload it to bring the average down, cap is supposed to go up in three seasons or so anyway 

Did somebody call for the EMPTY NET BANDIT?!

damn I think I missed it 

Now that's unexpected wholesome content.

And better luck next year!

yes, it just happened yesterday. i forget the day before.

Shut the front door 

The fact that Eriksson is censored makes the swear filter a joke!

AH, so it's not filtered anymore ahhaha

Finally, our lord has been set free

Justa' buncha' Snowmen! 8, 8, 8 ...

They're giving away 8's to all their young stars. Interesting approach, & I like it a helluva' lot more that the Dopey-Dubas-giveaway.

The two Ontario rebuilds will be an intriguing study in contrasts.

Sens will very soon be the best team in Ontario, as it should be. 

I could see it, I'm skeptical of Toronto's ability to retain Matthews 

Didn't think of a scorpion, that could work

You did good work, he should be in the ring of honour tbh 

Maybe a face that is half goalie mask, and the other half is a stop sign? ...or a full goalie mask painted as a stop sign.

Half Demko face, half goalie mask? Could work with Halloween coming up 

Oh def, the game has certainly changed since the mid 2000's/early 2010's. There's definitely more emphasis on speed, mobility, and being able to contribute to the attack. 

The guys who's bread and butter is defense aren't as common though, there seems to be more emphasis on being a two-way player nowadays. And I get it, I just have a soft spot for defensive specialists. 

I've always loved Tanev's play, though he's a bit different from the guys you mentioned, as he's not particularly physical. Slavin also fits that mold.

Yeah. Tanev, while not being young anymore, is an example of a new style of D who still focus on D but also contribute well to a team's transition game. D who play his style of game are much different than say.. the players who played a similar game to Mitchell and Volchenkov. 

You still see the odd throwback, Gudbranson kind of fits that mold despite varying opinions on his effectiveness. Even Burroughs brings a bit of it. Could throw Schenn in there too, though he's a bit of a crossover player who grew up playing that brand during a hockey at lower levels while is was prevalent, and caught on in the NHL at the tail end of that brand of hockey being commonplace. Him and Gudbranson have that in common. 

Nah, having grown up on the island I'm very used to the rain and enjoy it 

I want the West Coast Reign instead

So the LA Kings?

@NUCKER67

Yeah I'd play the Commodore, or Vogue Theatre or Orpheum if I want a cool small venue.

You totally should Ghostsof1915!  I'd go see you!

I've never been so it'll be interesting, I've seen Amon Amarth and Apocalyptica at the Commodore though and it was the same deal, both play bigger audiences elsewhere 

Never been to the Vogue or Orpheum
