  1. Debauchery - lewd - streaking
  2. Size, grit, speed Something the Canucks have lacked in recent years. Really happy with what GMJB has done in the last calendar year.
  3. Well...Calgary is officially getting a new arena, and all it cost were 100 city jobs, and budget cuts across the board for public services such as transit and emergency services. Hurray for Hicksville :)

      I always thought Albertans were the most free market in Canada.... I was wrong. They do love running for handouts when in a hole like tainted beef, floods, plummeting oil market and of course keeping their franchise in Calgary . The most sheepled province in the country.

  4. '97 - 112 and I were 1 year old this year
  5. I feel like an outsider on this, but I would like to see Pearson on that line. I feel like he's the type of guy who can keep up with the elites but can't produce on his own... Maybe better utilized with top players. Good post.
  6. Drafted 49th overall by the London Lakers of the GMHL (Junior A) Since he is only 15 he likely plays another year in Japan High School before coming to N/A. He now has 2 options to play in either the USA or Canada. I'm guessing the GMHL is most likely since it's slightly lower tier than USHL hockey, however players in both leagues usually end up playing college hockey.
  7. You're reading the personal blog of a leafs homer...nobody "finds" these guys they just keep coming out of nowhere infinitely
  8. Note to all GMs, don't bother giving up even a 5th rounder for any of their players. If they want to be collecting points this year, they better be giving away players!
  9. Minnesota terminates the contract of Kerby Rychel. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/kerby-rychel-signs-overseas/
  10. Smoking oil in a vape is nice and all but it's just not the same as smoking greens imo Context: I went to my parents over in Surrey and that's all I had
  11. My upstairs neighbors moving furniture
  12. Are you talking about your dingus? If so then yes I've also heard that. Make sure to exercise frequently. What is the atomic mass of the amount of f***s I give?
  13. 89 - Toronto Marlies legend Sam gagner's number
  14. That's a big if. Sutter, I think since his recent injuries, actually isn't that great defensively, aside from his faceoff ability. He's slow. His career +/- with Canucks is -21. His even strength Corsi is abysmal, 41.3 and 43.1 the last two years respectively. A case could be made, that Brendan Sutter is nothing more than a 4th line grinder. I don't want to put 4th line grinders up against McDavid or Gaudreau. Not saying Sutter isn't a defensive player, I do think he can do that job and I do like him as a player, but I do not trust having Beagle or Sutter go one on one against top PP units.
  15. Now that's a real man's conditional pick. Conditions within conditions
  16. No Bo on PK? Yeah, not gonna happen. Horvat won't play on 1st PP unit cause he already plays on the first PK unit. Don't want to overwork him. Baertschi on the point on the first unit? Also never gonna happen. How do you not have Hughes there? Pearson - Pettersson - Boeser Hughes - Leivo Baertschi/Leivo - Horvat - Miller Edler - Myers Green likes mixing up his lines. Hard to give a definitive answer.
  17. Igor Eronko is an interesting guy to follow on Twitter. Apparently Nikita Scherbak said he was not allowed to speak Russian in the locker room when he was with Montreal. That's when Markov and Emelin were still there. And when he was with LA Kings, apparently their whole AHL system is terrible. He said they would play defensemen in their top-6 forward group.

      You could be right Alf, if they don't make much profit, they would be hard pressed to spend the money on competent coaching staff.

       

      However I feel it is more organizational ineptitude. Looking at their players, their AHL squad isn't bad at all, on paper.

      I saw this tweet as well.  Sometimes people are quick to assume when a Russian player doesn't work its because of their work ethic or attitude issues.  Sometimes its just poorly managed teams.

      So many mitigating factors come into play for a player "making it" in the show. Many behind the scenes situations where fans have no idea that can have a tremendous outcome on a players career. 

  18. Sorry, the correct word was expelled. I have edited my post.
