  1. So, I was talking to this kid from Kyrgyzstan about national sports and hockey. Then, I asked him what his national sport was and he showed me this. I found it fascinating. I guess I should not be surprised considering they were a nomadic people at one time.

      That looks wild!

  2. Someone said that we have the 3rd easiest schedule to finish the season. So, let's win them all for the tankers.

  3. This appeared in my recommended list on YouTube. Travis Green is still Van's coach.

      If Green was still Van's coach, EP would be playing in Abby trying to "re-find" his game.

  4. Remind me again, who was saying that trades could not happen until the cap was fixed?

      turns out that trading a 3rd,4th or 5th pick to lower the cap hit of the player is more than worth the cost... likely see this as a permanent inclusion with rentals

  5. Were Shaw and Walker the real coaches while BB was the happy motivator?

      Seems like it was more of a football type structure with Shaw and Walker defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively.

    2. Rick Blight

      Short answer...YES!

  6. Pits writer says Montreal is offering Josh Anderson for Boeser. Might be adds but what do you think?

      At his current value I think Boeser for Anderson would qualify as a hockey trade.  Not that I'd want them to be traded straight across (Montreal's gotta add a sweetener) but Brock hasn't been the most consistent player either, and I can't help but wonder whether Anderson next to Petey could become an Alex Tuch type (fast, decent shot, physical).  Of course I'd like an RD coming back but I doubt we'd get Savard.  

      If we could get Anderson (bad contract swap), Kovacevic (big depth RHD with upside) and pick I'd do it.

      I would do the trade Phil_314 proposes, he is right, Brock is younger with less term and better track record, so MTL needs to add significant sweetener... is Anderson really fast? if fast and big, could fit more of what we need. He would look good next to Petey or ...dareI say it Miller as the 2C...

      @Canucks Curse a couple instances here of him powering and barreling to the net, plus his hands and blistering shot when he's on his game.

       

  7. Anyone see the weather in Buffalo? 4 ft of snow and traffic shutdown.

      Yep...saw a clip of them trying to clear out the stadium for the Bills game tomorrow. Good luck with that!

  8. OEL should be on PP1. Hughes needs to be on PP2. He tries to make to many cute stupid passes to Pettersson and Miller. Bouroughs needed to play this game. He is so much better than Stillman. Team needs to play Don Cherry style hockey. Hit and hit some more. We have the players now. Hitting leads to mistakes.

      PP is the only thing clicking. Another 2 goals tonight. How about we worry about things that will help us win 

    2. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Questionable whether or not OEL should've been in the game last night. Apparently the lowest DAWG score ever recorded.

  9. Key to winning is starting the First without a goalie.

      I did that once in a beer league game.  I was a late sub goalie and was still getting dressed when the game was scheduled to start.  We were up 1-0 by the time I got into my crease.  ::D

  10. Does anyone know if there is someone I should be watching out for on TPS Turku? I will be going to one of their games soon.

      Do you know who they are playing? Because if you can, you should try and watch TPS play the Pelicans. The Pelicans have Canucks prospects Lukas Jasek and Viktor Persson on their team.

      I am watching them play HK Ljubljana Olympia. @Quantum

      Ljubljana has Carl Neil on the team. The former Canucks draft pick. 

  11. Was talking with a buddy last night and thought of these pairings. What do you think? 

     

    OEL - Hughes (Either side)

    Boroughs - Myers (Boroughs played really well with Poolman and with Myers he could play more feisty. Also, Boroughs could be the stay at home D that Myers needs)

    Dermot / Rathbone - Schenn

    1. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      I'd look at 2nd pair of Myers - Schenn.  They tried Tyler on the left side before in Winnipeg, so he could have free rein to rush up ice while Schenn entirely hangs back.  Now I'm not sure how well Myers could do as LD but given that he's done it before I'd give it a shot.

  12. This new strain of Covid is no joke. Was in the hospital got released and almost ended up back there again last night. Insane. Feel like a truck hit me, twice.

      what symptoms put you in the hospital?

    3. FaninMex

      Puking every 10-20 minutes for hours. If you have ever had food poisoning and remember how the body was trying to get rid of everything, that is what each time was like. If I tried to drink water immediately after I would be over the toilet. The headache and body aches got so severe and soo weak.

      Damn, hope you feel better!  Take care of yourself @FaninMex

  13. Will be funny to see nothing happen and then watch CDC go ballistic. Giggles.

  14. With so much happening in the world. Take time to enjoy life.

      It's not easy. You don hip-waders to slog through endless km's of moronic, pig-sh*t, propaganda. Not like one can mindlessly dance a happy jig.

       

      Went hiking this morning, & that's always a pleasure.

      Good advice, FaninMex. There are surely horrible things happening in the world, but if you find something that gives you joy and satisfaction, go with it. For myself, my dad died eight weeks ago and he was always fond of poetry. So, in his memory, I have taken to memorizing long poems and songs, just to offer a silent tribute to him. I don't know that I'll ever recite them for an audience, but knowing I can do it reminds me of him every time I recite out loud alone behind the wheel, or late at night after the house is quiet and everyone is asleep. In this way, I take joy from his memory, and it hurts a lot less.

  15. Lost my job and can't afford NHL.com. Anyone want to share for this season? I am in Europe.

      @Dazzle They accidentally mixed me and Anze Kopitar at birth...  he got the hockey skills and I got the good looks.  That's why he wears a tinted visor.

      @TNucks1 since sportsurge is sort of a compository/listing of all the places that stream sports, which ones do you usually use?
