  1. Hopefully Mr. Gaudette can be our own little Masshole on the ice.

      Kesler/Burrows 2.0 hopefully

  2. The Pacific Northwest is the most beautiful region in the world. You don't realize how amazing it is until you live elsewhere.

      I'll vouch for that. Problem is, I remember White Rock back in the 70's. We walked through a back-route, nature trail to the corner stores on State Road(Hi view market, or Mr Dee's). My folks giving me a quarter so I could buy a bag of sweets.

       

      We were poor too(Dad, in & outa' work). My point being, a struggling family with 5 kids could eke out an existence in paradise, for 2 decades of time.

       

      Paradise lost.

      I agree!  I love water, mountains, islands, trees, cutesy small towns, and wineries. I don't care much for Seattle and Vancouver.  I live in Seattle, but I don't really care for it, but the further you get out, it is gorgeous!

      It's the only region I've ever called home. Being a simple Island boy, Vancouver was too much for me. Just too busy, full of busy people who are busy being full of themselves, generally. Blow-hards and big-shots.

       

      I enjoyed the years I spent in Squamish and Whistler, but Lucky Lager is "The Island's Own" afterall.

       

      But I digress, ReggieBush, you are sofa king right. I'm reminded of that fact every time I return home from a vacation or work burden. 

  3. Like I said, gotta love March!

      Hachimura is a beast, btw I am wearing my Zag Bulldog hoodie as per March Madneth!

  4. Gotta love March Madness! UMBC defeats #1 overall seed Virginia 74-54! A 16 seed has never beaten a #1 in the history of the tournament.

     

     

  5. Absolutely FUMING that Vancouver will not be one of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup. It's a disgrace that we have turned down the honor of hosting the world's biggest sporting event!

      It definitely sucks, but I'm also tired of FIFA using the prestige of the World Cup as leverage to lobby for practically anything they want. No event should be important enough to give a supposedly non-profit sports governing body that kind of power.

       

      If you don't care about FIFA corruption, that's fine, but I expect the organization responsible for acting in the best interests of the world's most popular sport to be held to a higher standard. If it takes a few cities saying no to hosting, so be it.

    3. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      @ReggieBush

      We can't know that Vancouver would've gotten a QF. It's a joint bid with the US and Mexico. With that many larger cities and bigger soccer hubs than Vancouver even if we got 3 games, they're probably prelims or early rounds. Canada would get 10 games in this arrangement to be split among Van, Edm, Tor, and Mon, if we'd said yes. I'd imagine Toronto would get a QF and that would probably be the only QF played in Canada.

       

      Besides, if the North American bid loses to Morroco, can't they bid again for 2030 and maybe BC will say 'yes' then. 

    4. ReggieBush

      @Where's Wellwood We would have got a QF. We have the best stadium of the 3, it was practically a given

  6. Which young trio would you rather have

     

    Matthews, Marner, Nylander

    or

    Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson (assuming EP becomes a 80 player)

  9. IIHF needs to take a strong look at their women's officiating and how they end elimination games. The fact that a gold medal game is decided in a skill competition is appalling.

    1. Undrafted

      Undrafted

      It's the same for the men: after OT, it goes to a shootout.  That's just how the IIHF rules are.  And yes, it sucks

    2. hockeygod77

      hockeygod77

      i agree hundred per cent the game is ruined by the shoot out..if you look at the first use goal it should have not counted once the puck leaves your stick its a shot she missed it then shot at it after the puck  had already left her stick.

    3. VanGnome

      VanGnome

      Had the officiating been on point, they never would have gotten to overtime, let alone shootout. The sheer number of bad calls against Canada, and lack of against USA was appalling. Then all of a sudden the whistles go away in OT until the last two minutes?

      Poulin should have been called 2 minutes for illegal hit, she absolutely destroyed that woman in front of the net, Scott Stevens would be proud.

  10. People call the Bo-Schnieder trade a wash thus far. I disagree. Since the trade, Bo has played in more playoff games than Cory. When it is all said and done, I think we will have won that trade by a wide margin.

      @ReggieBush Ah yes, my mistake there, I misread. Still, that's more of a measure of team success than individual player success I suppose. There were a couple of years when I'd argue Schneider was a top 5 goaltender in the league.

      Good for her. Maybe this time words like hers will carry traction far longer than a news cycle or 2. A majority of American politicians either have no balls or are removed from reality. Like the Alabama State Representative Will Ainsworth who 2 days ago announced that he is working on a bill that would allow some public school teachers and administrators to carry a gun during school hours. He says concerned educators from Marshall County reached out to him Thursday evening.

       

      "They wanted to know what we could do to prevent that in Alabama," said Ainsworth. "Our kids are literally sitting ducks"

      Some interesting times ahead regarding the deadline day and the draft. I'm a fan of what he's done with our draft pool alone. No problems with JB remaining to see his prospects hit the ice over the next few years.

      I'd say he probably will get there. Enough Cups and great defensive play long with good offensive production.

      jb will have a legacy here no matter what

      his drafting and recent acquisition of talented young players through trade will have long lasting effect

      he likely drafted our future goalie

      our future offense will be a credit to him

       

      he is quite light on what he has done for the defense core..

      i think that is what might get him in hot water

      an unbalanced rebuild cannot work

      look at the oiler dilemma

       

      the d needed to be drafted and developed with demko

      drafting now and developing means another 3 years of average hockey

      or there will be some significant players on offense traded to get the necessary dmen

      and that will make many on cdc quite unhappy

      cuz you have to give up top line talent to get high end d talent (d just seem to be worth more overall)

      @MJDDawg you gotta respect him though.

       

      I heard a story from a family friend (Bama alum who happens to be in their Athletics HOF) last year that he went down to the practice facility before a practice. His "tour guide"who happened to be a Kin student who was helping with the football team stopped in front of a room and told our friend to wait. He did. When he came out of the room, he was holding some spare tape, so are friend casually said "oh you was just picking up some tape" (to make conversation ). To his surprise, the kid responded with "No, I preparing to win a national championship" and then dropped off the tape when the passed the therapy room. Everyone involved with that program buys into what Saban is doing. From the Star tailback to a low level trainer.
