  1. James Neal is looking like crap tonight.  Are the Coil falling back to their smelly selves?  :sick:

      Glad to see Kassian is doing well....but **** the Oilers.

  2. JB saying today talks with Marky are tabled until after the season.  We have to keep Marky don’t we?  

    1. JM_

      JM_

      hard to say, depends what he wants. If a team like Cowgary offers him 7 mil x 6 years we kind of need to walk from that. 

       

      There are a lot of goalies available next free agency if they are looking at a more split-time scenario with Demko and a veteran.

      Bet it's a bluff for the rabid media-hordes, Alf-man..they've prob shaken hands on an agreement.

    3. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      JB: Marky, we need you bud. But we also need PO's.

       

      At season-end, we'll sign you to 4 yrs x 5 mill(100%)

      Make PO's: 4 x 5.5

      win a rd: 5 x 5.5

      win 2 rds: Add a yr or half-mill, etc....

       

      So basically give him certainty, but also incentive to keep starring like a King.

  3. Jersey’s top two centres Hischier and Jack Hughes have a combined total of 54 points. Quinn Hughes has 50.

      Jersey needs another first overall, because they’ve done so well with the other two. :lol:

      Exactly the Coilers!  Now they need to way overpay their two Smurfette centres.  I’d say 10 million each should be about right.  Oh, and give them each 8 years.  Then they can suck for the next decade!  :lol:

      Maybe they could trade for Middlestadt and have three Smurfette centres? 

  4. Jets miss Myers A LOT.  They are terrible defensively.

      I miss The Jets having Myers too.

      I don't mind sharing him, just don't want to lose him.  I've always preferred his calm demeanor vs some of the other crazies out there.

      he wants to visit his vacation home in winnipeg!

       

      srsly probably sportnet decision over his own personal choice. who knows maybe got family there and asked to visit them a bit more often.

       

      then again I am guessing he makes good money for about 15hours a week. ps I know he probably works outside of tv but on what no one knows hahaha 

    4. JM_

      it probably will be Randork calling those games. Those are the nights I put the tv on mute and turn on the radio. 

  6. Joker is the best!  Guy will win 25+ Slams.  GOAT. 

    1. Patel Bure

      Patel Bure

      There are a few more things that he’ll need to do in order to truly be considered the GOAT (I.e win Olympic singles gold, most weeks at #1, and a few other minor accolades that Federer and Nadal currently hold), but yes, Djoker is certainly on pace.  I think he’ll break Margaret Court’s record of 24 slams.  If and win Djoker does, he deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, and Patel Bure.

  7. Just finished off (what Mrs. Alf thought was) a well hidden box of chocolates.  God, I feel gross. :sick:  Stupid Alf

    1. brilac

      brilac

      You should check out my stash.  It's quite the assortment of chocolate and treats including the gluten free peppermint brownies with sprinkles and the organic dark chocolate, and non-organic 2 packs of chocolate bars and Reeses peanut butter cups, and I finished the peppermint bark squares and organic pumpkin pie my mother made, and I have these mint chocolate covered marshmallow squares I put in my organic hot chocolate.

    2. brilac

      You know, I should really go out to the Olympic Peninsula and stock up on wine.  There are wonderful wineries out there.  I was such a lush when I lived out there!

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      @brilac you have good taste in food and drink.  The kids (they are in their 40’s) came over, and we enjoyed good company, beef dip, and wine.  Okay, the boys drank scotch.  I’m off chocolate for a while.  Unless it’s those chocolate brandy beans.  I love those little demons.:frantic:

  8. Just heard on 650, that Brady Tkachuk is expected to sign with the Sens.

      oh well

      it's his choice

      maybe he just wants to get some time running on his contract

      but i kinda think the situation there will crush him after 2 years

  9. Just read this:  https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/17/us/gabby-petito-missing-friday/index.html

    What kind of a man leaves his fiancé in the middle of nowhere, like this guy seemingly did?  Maybe others here know more about this situation, but it’s hard to believe a guy could leave his girl like this.  Then he refuses to talk to police and help find her.  This makes no sense.

      What a crazy story. I hope it's not some kind of sick ploy for "views" and attention. And I hope that he didn't do what we're probably thinking.

      Have not gone to Tims since they stopped selling the blueberry fritters... but now thanks to you, I'm gonna jones all night

  11. Just thinking we are so fortunate to have management smart enough to avoid the Horvat anchor contract. We dodged that bullet and turned it into a super win: Hronek, new Beau, and Raty.

    Thank you JR!

      I agree but...I'd like to see how Miller's contract ages in 4-5 years time??

  12. Just watched a short video promoting the 'Captain' thing coming up.  There were highlights of all our captains, except Messier and Luongo.  Why are those two omitted, when clearly they were captains too?

      There’s been 13 captains, no? There’s definitely a few more that get glossed over.

  13. Just watched the USA seriously choke against the Checks.  Leading 3-1, and lose 8-4.

    Watched a lot of their games.  Luke Hughes can’t skate anywhere nearly so well as his brothers.  

    1. Vinny in Vancouver

      How did Adam Gaudette look? It seems that he scored a few goals for them in this tournament. Was he playing C? Should we want him back or say 'no' to his crystals?

    2. Alflives

      Alflives

      Hockey Gaud was (from what I watched) the best US forward.  

  14. Just watching a Spider-Man movie on a free Internet site.  It’s in Spanish, but dialogue isn’t needed to understand this show, especially when the once full bottle is empty. :frantic:

  15. Just watching the Oilers v Jets.  Saw a closeup of Evan Bouchard.  Is there ‘something off’ with him?  

  16. Just watching the Rags v Isles.  Who is #8 on the Isles?  He’s absolutely horrifyingly awful.  He literally cannot skate.  That is one bad player.

      Not at the expense of losing Hughes though.

      Naw, I'd much rather having him over Hughes, but I'm really not a fan of defensemen who struggle in their own end.  Would like to see how Hughes does once Baumgartner is replaced with a real coach though.

    I’m saying no; they get 46 points.

      2nd line Loui  46 pts to match your total :)

      no goals on his own team this time

      He will want to go out on a positive

    3. JM_

      Loui might actually work his way up that depth chart. 

    4. Coconuts

      Do they have a player hit 20 goals? Let alone 25?

  18. Larkin signs BIG contract - 6.1 Cap hit!

      Heard Dhaliwal just say Larkin’s contract is 5 years and over 30 million.  Bo’s deal sure looks good!!!

  21. Leafs and Oilers both need a goalie, and to clear some cap.  Which is better for us?

    Demko for Marner

    or

    Demko for Draisatl

      Ballisticsports.

      The Canucks without Demko would be a very poor version of the Oilers now, and going nowhere without a goalie like Demko

      Build from Goal out

    3. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      I wouldn't trade Demko for almost anyone.  However, for Draisaitl you have to pull the trigger.  That's a no brainer.  He's a top 3 player in the NHL and would push Petey to #2 centre.  BO would be #3.  We would have the best centre lineup in the NHL, it wouldn't even be close.

       

      Only problem is how to replace Demko.  

    4. J.I.A.H.N

      J.I.A.H.N

      Draisaitl for Demko

       

      Meaning our 4 Centermen would be Drai, Pettersson, Horvat and Miller

       

      I keep Drai and Pettersson

       

      Trade Horvat for a #2 RHD, and Miller for a young up and coming goalie

       

      Bing, bang BOOM!

  22. Leafs are getting run out of the rink by the Jets.  :lol:

      Marner got into a fight in practice with Muzzin and got a concussion.  They have some serious head cases on that team.
