  1. By and large I'm a Benning supporter, but it's nice to hold him up to a higher standard rather than, uh, yeah.
  2. We all know Bo was brought down from the Heavens by angels and delivered to a manger on Bethlehem Street one cold winter evening. No wait, that was Petey....
  3. I can't this image out of my head now. Along with the thought of that actually working then, the following year, other teams trying it and there ends up being a royal rumble for 1st overall. I'd like the Canucks chances, you KNOW Weisbrod would be bringing in the brass knuckles.
  4. 99% of me says it was an honest mistake. 1% says he's going full Trump and trying to write revisionist history and if it gets repeated enough it will become true.
  5. They better whack Taylor Hall a couple more times with a piñata stick before he turns UFA and get any last remaining horseshoes lodged in there.
  6. His two game audition seemed to be decent. We'll get a better idea come preseason.
  7. He did sign in Europe. My guess is he was included to add contract # flexibility for the Canucks pre July 1st.
  8. My feelings exactly. It was said earlier that the Canucks are betting on themselves with this trade. Not sure if it's time yet for the Canucks to be betting on themselves. There are still too many questions on defense to be betting on yourself.
  9. Pretty much this. 50 pts = good 26 years old = okay cap hit (for 50 pts) = okay There's a lot of good and okay there so hope they didn't pay a premium.
  10. I was thinking it would be funny if everyone cheered him. It'd be a huge mind$%^& for Gary.
  11. 1 - a very bad one 2 - A lot. Happens all the time in the states when bail gets set really high. Combine that with a huge back log of court cases so it takes forever for your day in court, people will plea because they'll get out sooner if they admit guilt rather than wait for trial.
  12. I'm pretty sure GMs are asked to keep things quiet at this point so any trades can be announced at the draft.
  13. Well they don't HAVE to be ...but one would assume so.
  14. Just as long as Ristolainen sleeps in the day that Edler teaches him how to have pucks go off of him and into the net.
  15. This is where trading Tanev for Zaitsev (plus other parts as necessary) can make sense. Don't worry about trying to see if you can get Tanev's value to increase, see if you can get a younger and less injury prone Zaitsev's value to increase.
  16. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/watch-max-scherzer-breaks-nose-attempting-bunt/ Another injury to add to the pantheon of stupid baseball injuries
  17. In this picture it looks as if Giordano let one rip. Burns knows who did it. Hedman knows who did it. Giordano is trying to deny anything happened.
  18. https://www.tsn.ca/justin-smoak-quad-placed-on-il-1.1324658 Smoak and Edwin Jackson on the 10 day DL. They say it's his back, must have tweaked it when turning around to watch all those home runs.
  19. Granted I don't listen to sports radio 24/7, but I have never heard a rumor of Boeser getting anywhere near 11+ million a season.
  20. Lacking any other big news, Benning may overpay and rent an elephant as his ride to the entry draft. Just thought I'd add to the list of things that aren't going to happen that you started.
  21. For today's starting lineup, Gurriel Jr's .253 batting average is the highest....ouch.
  22. The Catholic Church is behind the ban! Illuminati confirmed!!
