  1. I'm at Gary Numan at The Commodore. Wonder if JT is here ... he can afford a few new CARS.
  2. I'm glad Podkolzin will have Miller around for the next several years as a team mate. Miller will help Podz's game and development as a pro. This signing will pay off in more ways than one.
  3. I'm reading this from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Saw Korn and Evanescence in Denver last night at Ball Arena. Even saw the Stanley Cup banner hanging from the rafters. Just noticed the media is running with the "cutting off contract talks" narrative already ... JT's agent simply said it was a possibility. Watch the media shout it from the hilltops that Miller is cutting off talks during the season.
  4. This is the best thing I've seen this week ... possibly of all time!!!!!
  5. Exactly what I was thinking. He clearly wants to be here. Hopefully they can find that middle.
  6. The thing is ...the predictions each year are always middle of the pack team or worse no matter what improvements or changes we make. I'm not sold that Calgary will maintain ... even with the Huberdeau signing. I think 2nd to 4th will be a dogfight. I get what you're saying though. And granted 2nd may be too ambitious - likely 3rd - but I don't think it's impossible if we're dialed in from the start. The fact that we were Top 10 or Top 13 in many categories after Bruce is more accurate of where this team is ... and we have improved in some areas while also leaving holes. The difference between 1st place in the division and 3rd or 4th is approx 10 games. I think we all saw last season that at least five of our losses were winnable. It may be overconfidence, sure, totally get it, but it's also safe to say we'll be middle of the pack.
  7. 20 more pages until 1100. Man ... how I long for the good ol' days of 800. Those were the days.
  8. The team was Top 10, Top 13, in a lot of categories after Bruce took over. We did improve this offseason too. Remove the terrible start with JB/Green ... we were a playoff team. No one really expected LA to be as good this quickly either. You can also apply that to us too. So, it works both ways. Vegas isn't the same Vegas either. And I do remember Bruce saying he believes OEL and Garland will be much better in their second seasons here based on what he's seen in his career. Hopefully that happens. We did get faster, also better on the PK with Mikheyev. Boeser is poised to bounce back. We've gotten better and grittier with Lazar and Joshua. Added Kuzmenko ... also Spencer Martin ... we're a better team than people think. I'm going to agree with those predicting a 2nd place finish behind the Oilers.
  9. Glad to see Zack getting a new contract! Good hard-nosed PEI boy in Philly. Perfect signing for this guy ...
  10. Those 5 teams are fielding daily calls from all the other teams like ...
