  1. Ducks sure missed him last night.
  2. I was also hoping for that trade, Chip Kelly's offence is built for Mariota, would be the best fit for both sides.
  3. He has to be in the right offence, play action, movement, deception, screens, high tempo he is like a freaken robot. He runs a very mechanical offence. The teams that beat the ducks forced him to drop back and make decisions. Believe it or not Mariota has very little experience in the pocket.
  4. That's my boy, credit to the Titians for running an offence designed for his style. I was worried he wouldn't be able to transition to the NFL, it' seems the NFL transitioned to him. Well his team anyway. It's still early of course but all signs pointing to production.
  5. I guess I'm a Titians fan now, I have some mild interest in the NFL. Most I have had in years.
  6. South Florida University? I have the espn college football app, they lost to FSU yesterday 34-14
  7. I don't pay really close attention to the NFL so could someone fill me in on Mariota? How did he look in the preseason? Is he the Titians starter?
  8. I think Oregon will be ok with this Adams kid, considering this was his 2nd game and 3rd week with Oregon he did pretty good against the 5th best team in the country on the road. Once he learns the offence and speeds up the tempo they'll be styling. Ohio state has the 61st ranked strength of schedule. They will walk into the playoffs, rested and ready.
  9. I dont remember us ever having this many legit prospects at one time. The depth is rapidly growing. The Moose explosion is really the only exception to our horrible history of development over the past 40+ years.
  10. The Ducks without Mariota, it's hard on me.

  15. http://m.thn.com/blog/five-best-goaltending-prospects-in-the-world/ The five best goaltending prospects in the world By: The Hockey News on August 9, 2015 (Len Redkoles/Getty Images) (Len Redkoles/Getty Images) Championships can be won and lost between the pipes, and every season it seems a new goaltender emerges to take a top job or push a longtime starter for the No. 1 role. It has been more than a decade since the Pittsburgh Penguins made Marc-Andre Fleury the first overall pick, but that doesnt mean late-round selections and goaltenders taken outside of the drafts opening round havent developed into blue chip prospects and the goaltending futures for their respective clubs. In Vancouver, there might be a 1A and 1B developing before either actually ends up as an NHL starter. There are several goaltenders who could be taking the reins for their clubs in the next several seasons. Here are the five best goaltending prospects in the world, as ranked by our 2015 Future Watch edition: 5. Jacob Markstrom, 25, Vancouver Canucks Draft: Second round (31st overall), Florida Panthers Future Watch: 56th overall Part of the the Roberto Luongo trade, Markstrom was shocked by the deal, which was magnified by the off-season signing of Ryan Miller. To his credit, Markstrom first honed his game in Vancouver with goalie coach Rollie Melanson. This past season, he was a starter at the AHL All-Star Game and shared MVP honors. Hes learning to control his lanky frame and remain composed. Having a standout season in the AHL increased his value. The Canucks will make room for him. 4. Thatcher Demko, 19, Vancouver Canucks Draft: Second round (36th overall), Vancouver Canucks Future Watch: 46th overall Demko fast-tracked his schooling to get to Boston College early. Hes fascinated by human nature and is studying psychology. It was good prep for the World Junior Championship where he backstopped the U.S. to the quarterfinals. He had a 1.74 goals-against average and .934 save percentage and his relentless work ethic has impressed Vancouvers goaltender consultant Dan Cloutier. He still has to polish his game technically, but that comes with experience and he always wants to do more, Cloutier said. 3. Malcolm Subban, 21, Boston Bruins Draft: First round (24th overall), Boston Bruins Future Watch: 41st overall Subbans stats in Year 2 at AHL Providence mirrored those of his rookie year, but the Bruins saw enough development in the supremely talented athletic goalie to bring him up in a support role after the all-star break. He is unique to that position in terms of how athletic he is, Sweeney said of P.K. Subbans younger brother. Were working with him from a technical standpoint to put those two things together. That third component is the mental piece. 2. Zach Fucale, 20, Montreal Canadiens Draft: First round (36th overall), Montreal Canadiens Future Watch: 32nd overall Goalies take the longest time to develop, but the Habs like the fact Fucale has won at every level. Said GM Marc Bergevin: Hes following the same path as Carey Price and Dusitn Tokarski with Memorial Cups and world juniors. Hes the best (junior) goalie in Canada. Fucale needs to fill out and work on his strength. His competitive spirit was exhibited in the WJC final. Hes at his best when hes busy but needs to work on his glove hand and rebound control. 1. Andrei Vasilevskiy, 21, Tampa Bay Lightning Draft: First round (19th overall), Tampa Bay Lightning Future Watch: 8th overall Vasilevskiy, the first goalie drafted in 2012, is Tampas future at the position. He exceeded expectations in his first North American season. He started slowly in the AHL but put together a strong run starting in late November and earned his first call-up to the NHL. He supplanted Evgeni Nabokov as Ben Bishops backup by February. He puts in the work, he wants to be a pro, and hes a very good pro, Tampas director of player development Stacy Roest said. He looks more comfortable with every game.
  16. I have a T-Shirt older than you.
  17. If you find a transmission sexy then that's your own biz I guess.
  18. Some bad taste jokes. Don't hate. What is the difference between a priest and acne? Acne doesn't come on your face until you're 12. How do you know princess Diana had dandruff? Her head and shoulders were on the dash. What is black and sits on top of the stairs? A Quadriplegic after a house fire. What would princess Diana be doing at the moment if she was alive? Scratching the top of her coffin. Why can't God eat skiddles? They fall through the holes in his hands. What is the difference between Jesus and a picture of Jesus? It only takes 1 nail to hang the picture.
  19. Does anyone have a link to the summer summit?

  20. http://globalnews.ca/news/2057105/how-fracking-is-linked-to-fox-creek-earthquakes/ This earthquake was directly linked to fracking conducted by a company I currently work for in the region. The time of the earthquake perfectly coincided with the time of fracture. There isn't much the AER can do at this point but I know it has caused quite the concern within the company.
