  1. Auston Watson was a rookie in 2013-14. Looking really good now.

      Fair enough, I was going off of a hockey card and the 2 mins I've seen him play in the NHL.

      Sounds like you need to #Chillthe****out though.

  2. Boeser cards are out of control! $3800 for a /10 young guns. $900 for a /100. Reg young guns from walmart are $100ish.

     

    All went up 100% in 7 days. 

     

     

     

     

  3. Gonna post a rare off hockey question.. Does anyone have experience with Serotonin Syndrome? I've been in and out of the hospital because of it.

      My wife just got over a 6 week run of suffering from this. I would not wish it on anyone.

      V, she was sleepless and acting like she was like a speed freak? Did they give her Xanax or something similar? Sorry if I'm being too direct.

    4. VforVasili

      VforVasili

      Yeah she accidentally took a double dose of her meds for 5 days and had flu like symptoms (which is why she didn’t know). She then had a wild ride of sleeplessness, sleeping all the time, terrible headaches, the gamut. 

  4. Hello Stealth, was wondering if I could change my username subtitle to "Bringer of sawdust"

     

    I am a Western Red Cedar sawyer, so the name is apt!

     

    Thanks for the consideration.

      50/50 chance it's a gag name if he changes it for you. Prepare to be  'The Logmaker' or something

      Well, seeing as though my god is the sun.... I'd be freaked out to be titled "maker of trees growing"

       

      Thanks for the laugh GB.

  5. Hi Emily! Thanks for your insights and opinions on CDC. Your posts are level headed an calculated, cheers.

      The wheels on the Red go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the Red go round and round, all through CDC

  6. Hi stealth, could you possibly pin the softwood tariff thread in off topic so British Columbians can have an important subject staring them in the face?

     

    There are major implications to trucking, harvesting and environmental implications.

      Well it should come up in the debates! BC will be watching.

      They will all say well BC jobs, Ottawa should protect them.... And in the end what can they do about it? Have Christy say she'll join a group of Russian women for entertainment? 

    4. Western Red

      Western Red

      Yep lots of passing the buck in politics. NDP should have a lot to say about it as they're linked heavily to forestry. Libs are Conservatives so they will have their word play. Greens will applaud the lowering of sustainable harvest. It's really not a bad thing for BC so far. It might mean 12.5% reduction in wages/jobs though overall thru the entirety of the trade deal. See my post in the topic for further elaboration.

  7. How does one go about getting Jersey names and numbers changed? I live on the island. Is there somewhere I can mail to?

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      There has to be a sports check or jersey city or something of the sort on the island no ?

    2. Western Red

      Ok thanks. I'll look into it.

       

  8. Jeremy Roenick is....

     

     

     

     

     

    Not my kind of guy.

      He’s always been a self centred idiot.  Wasn’t he one of the American players who trashed their rooms after losing the Gold medal game to us in 2002?

    2. Western Red

      Western Red

      He's a cheerleader for.... RATINGS!

       

      He literally just screamed it on National TV. 

       

      Not HOF worthy.

    3. DADDYROCK

      DADDYROCK

      HE IS THE UGLY AMERICAN!

      CRIED LIKE A LITTLE ''B" AND WAS TAKING IT OUT ON USA PLAYERS WHEN WE BEAT THEM.

      WORLD CUP WAS EPIC.

      THATS TEAM CANADA GOLD ALL THE WAY.

  9. Kesler Love!!! Awesome VANCOUVER!!!

      Named my son after the player fans love to hate, so it was nice to not have to explain why people are booing. Ultimately its the online crowd that can use their medium to speak louder than the plethora of fans who still speak in person. 

    3. Ghostsof1915

      He's still a jerk. But at least he's back to being OUR jerk. :lol:

      The smile on his face said it all. He loved it.

  10. Any hockey on tonight? BCHL clippers game is all I have at the moment. Dead to the world, need l'hockey ;)

  11. I like the timing of this trade, gives us a month to evaluate. Shrewd move I'll say for now,

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      :D I like it. Clendening is ready now and Benning has more up his sleeve i think

  12. It seems to me that Kass, KB3 and Lack all have something in common.. I'm beginning to see things from a different scope. I've always wanted Prust here but never in a million years thought it'd be Kass+ to get him.

      ^ Uhh Social media is so overstated already. Perriscope, Twitter,Snapchat, Vine, etc. Too much overcrowding.

    3. Western Red

      Just saying that he's been the poster boy for the prospects camp with that specific medium. It seems juvenile but they're all so young.

      Yeah alway need some characters.

  13. So it's forgone that Bo chooses Tesla, cemeting Goldy status

  14. "Won the popular vote" what a joke. 4 more years.

  15. #FreeTryamkin You propagated his dreams and signed him, made him leave mother Russia... PLAY HIM! or in two years, do we give him to EDM for a 5th. WTF. Larsen is literally Weber. Am I wrong?

      Hahah yea I remember Krutov, man was he ever talented, too bad he ate himself out of the NHL. Thanks for the reminder Joe :P 

       

      Tough to say Joe, IMO I think Trymak just needs a little push rather than sent back to Russia, he could be the type of D we need.

      As long as the KHL exists, it will always be risky drafting and signing Russians.  JB gave this particular Russian an "out-clause" in his contract.  If things go south for the Canucks in regards to Tryamkin, the blame can be laid at the feet of both JB and WD.

       

      The "Russian Factor" has claimed the Canucks as its latest victim.  Unfortunately though this wound is partially self-inflicted.

      I really want Willie to play Try too but we have a deep defensive lineup and he will only be inserted into the lineup is if any of our defencemen get injured which is the case with Tanev but we called up Stecher which only seems logical but to put Troy in the lineup as much as I want Try to play.

  16. 17,900 in Vegas tonight for a preseason game. Genius idea to get a team there...

      Just looking at general odds...you can only fail with so many NHL expansion (or relocation) franchises before one of them is successful.

      I'm curious to see how their attendance goes when they eventually get bad.

      "I’m legitimately stunned by their support but let’s also see what happens when the Raiders are in town and the Knights hit a skid"

       

      A couple things to consider....

       

      While the Raiders have a unique brand name (so strong, their fans will follow that team even after moving from one city to another), they're the worst kind of corporate welfare bums.  Despite this strong brand loyalty (ie., they'll be VERY profitable regardless of where they play), their new arena will at least partially be paid by PUBLIC funds (they use this as a bargaining chip whenever their owner(s) decide to move - and you know they will move again at some point based on their history).  The Golden Knights arena was 100% privately funded to my knowledge.

       

      **** the Raiders (and I say this once being a fan of the team....back when they were originally the Oakland Raiders).

  17. 31 Thoughts >>>>> Spittin Chiclets. Puck Soup may even be better than SC. I like Chiclets a lot too..

      lol the terry ryan episodes are hilarious, never checked out puck soup, should.

      I like Chiclets to hear them talk about the actual game and how it's played. As former players they can talk on that a lot more than Elliot can. When it comes to the goings on in the league then 31 Thoughts blows Chiclets out of the water.

  18. 5M flat for Demmer with a constant pipeline of min AAV behind him is looking niice. 

  19. Anyone into hockey cards? I'd like to chat, join or start a network. Have a lot of free time at the moment.

      Cool Deb, maybe move it to the most appropriate forum :)

  20. Anyone stoked for The Glorious Sons and The Beaches tour this fall?

  21. Big Mac playing for PHI tonight..

  22. Binnington got his already. Served 3/4 goal against. With Van out, this is what I like to see.

      That puke wanted the Calder over Pettersson, never forget the look on his face when EP40 took the Calder.

  23. Boeser Young Guns going for $80! Was $45 1 week ago. Now the most sought after rookie of this years Calder race.

  24. Borgstrom and Donato with NHL goals now. Good inspiration for Gaudette this offseason. Safe to say he won't be staring at his Hobey Baker award all summer!! 

  25. Can anyone offer some good hockey podcasts on Spotify? Spittin' Chiclets is great btw. Great inside stories from ex NHLers and guys like Friedman and Ferraro. Funny to hear them cuss.

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Not sure if it's on Spotify, but I've noticed that the guy(s) at Pass it to Bulis run a podcast sometimes. Never listened to it so I'm not sure if it's any good, but I like their written stuff usually.
