    When a fan really REALLY hates the two teams playing, what do ya cheer for? 

    Watching Flames vs Sharks.  I like hickey and want to watch, but what do I cheer for?  

    Turn up the volume while the vacuum is still on.

    Honestly you deserve to lose your license. BCers pay insane insurance rates because of drivers excessively speeding and causing accidents. 

    Not paying attention likely causes many more accidents then speed, unless there are many others on the road and you are weaving in and out

    It was long rumored that the reason that the Heat flopped in Abbotsford is because they weren't the Comets.

     

    I am pretty sure that the Comets would be able to sell out that arena fairly regularly.

    I doubt it, they had a hard time selling out that game, tickets were available one week ago

    This is going to be Virtanen’s year. Some of you will be awfully embarrassed by the hate you are throwing Jake’s way when the wrecking ball starts to roll!

    He is sure starting it out right in Group C

    No they don't.

     

    Virtanen- 47.8%

    Laine- 46.2%

     

    And that doesn't take into account the fact that Laine was deployed in the top 6 for most of the season, while Virtanen played up and down the lineup. I don't have the stats in fron of me, but I'm willing to bet Laine got a larger percentage of O-zone starts than Virtanen did as well. 

    What are you talking about Laine is 55.6 Virtanen is 50.8.  Maybe I’m just seeing it wrong.

    Even if you go to even strength they aren’t your numbers, they are pretty much the same and better than your numbers

    Bed time for old Alf, when the fancy stats get paraded out.  

    Yea facts don’t care about feelings.  

     

    I cant believe people here are saying they’d rather have Jake and Laine.  #HomerVision

    For 10 million I don’t want Laine.  I’d much rather have Bess for 6, Jake for 1.5, and have 3.5 left for Beagle.  JB is building a team.  Laine would not be good for the team.  Jake is perfect for our third line.  

    You assume he wants 10 million,  can’t pick numbers out of thin air

    With respect,

    like I said.... he scored more goals than over 60% of 1st round forwards in his draft year (yes small sample size) Hes defneitly worth a first rounder. Not all picks can be pretty boeser or hughes.

     

    I'm just sayin if they move the kid.... get actual value.... we dont need to see a Taylor hall scenario in vancouver.

    I agree, except the potential value of 1st rounders are way over inflated, hence why so many teams over value their first rounders and therefore Virtanen wouldn’t be traded for one.  He’d be traded for another young player instead of a draft pick.  I would t trade him for a 2nd rounder as you said, he’s worth more than a 2nd as most never turn into anything
