I need to stop eating out. It's costing me too much money.

The new Iron Man is kinda cute

If Landeskog becomes a Canuck, does he slot in on the second line or on the first?
-
I keep forgetting we had Tortorella as a coach

His pressers alone were possibly worth the grief.
Tol' Healy to go pound sand.
Spoke strongly on the twins' behalf.
Like Keenan's stint, he helped get the trade-carousel turning. Let's just chalk it up as a 'necessary evil'.
& when the drunkard hits rock-bottom, he will learn 'The Serenity Prayer'..So Torts was just a harsh stage for deliverance...

I'm amazed that Lee Stempniak scored 50 points on bad teams last season and no one takes him seriously.

I like him on a 1 year deal. He has shown in the past that teams are willing to trade an early round pick for him at the deadline each year when they run out of their primary options.
Maybe the Canucks can try again with trading pending UFAs at the deadline like the Leafs do to accumulate some picks finally.

It was soooooo goooooooooooood in the beginning. But then the writing just went all over the place and I'm 100% sure the writers don't even know where they're going with the show now
. I'm watching it just because I've wasted 6 years(7 if I finish this season) of my life to the show. My boy cousin continues to watch mainly because of Shay Mitchell
.
One Tree Hill thoooooooooooooooooo, watch that asap. Its so good, sooooooooooooo good. I've re-watched the entire series about 9 times. That you gotta watch man

According to Botch people around the league think we'll be giving Lucic the same contract as Yandle or more.
Fricks sakes. I'd rather have $8m/4y than $6m/7y

@thejazz97I mean it's not so much of a problem as it hasn't really hindered his career all that much. It's given him a hunchback, which everyone likes to talk about, but it hasn't made him less effective. But fair point, He's really the only NHLer with that condition, so we truly don't know how it will effect him. I'll concede that.
@Wild Sean Monahan Yeah, they're small and fast, but they're also not big and strong. Athletic doesn't necisarily mean how fast you are. Shaquille O'Neal was a very athletic basketball player, but he wasn't all that fast. And Lucic is not a slow skater. He's an average skater, I'll give you that, but again, I don't think he will see a major drop off in his speed until he's at least 33. Players don't usually hit the age of 30 and all of a sudden lose their skating ability. Once he hits 33 or so, it will start to decline, if he isn't able to keep it up with modern medicine and practices.
Look, all signings have risk. You can't fleece everyone on every deal and come out with exactly what you want. If you want to get a player to play for you, you have to be willing to take some risk back. Otherwise the player gets fleeced and moves on. If it's a good gamble, take it, if it starts to go south 4 or 5 years from now, deal with it then.

Again, I don't doubt that he'll be productive at least for a few years. My worry is that he'll get slower and maybe incur some injury problems. I just feel anybody who plays the way he does is bound to have those issues st some point.
I fully understand that just about every free agent contract tends to be a little on the expensive side and often end up being boat anchors by the end. That's the nature of free agency, you overpay. Where I find issue with it for the Canucks is that he'll be on the books when it's time to pay our kids.

MRW it's almost July

-
Gonna be excited for the Virtanen/Horvat/Boeser/Juolevi/Hutton power plays in the future
-
Chicago getting DeBrincat is unreal.
-
SK Premier Brad Wall is using his official Facebook page to sell his car.
-
Horvat, Baertschi, and Hutton will all be upgrading their game, the Sedins get to work their magic once again, the SHL MVP, a 6-foot-8 behemoth, a power forward, and Andrey Pedan will all be proving themselves, and a 6-foot-6 goalie will be taking over the starting role.
One of the best players outside the NHL will be joining us either late this season or next season, and we just drafted the best defenseman in the draft.
If you're not excited about that, you're taking this team for granted way too much.

I think we're going to be Edmonton's whipping boys for the next 15 years.
