      You want to tell him to get out of Nashville?  :huh::lol:

      @SabreFan1 sure why not? anything that gets him away from me would be just fine. Biggest douche in sports.

      He is most definitely about as irritating as they come.  And he's a former Bruin, which is even worse.

  2. I wouldn't take it so seriously. Most people are there to vent and enjoy the heat. Political discussions are supposed to get nutty, thats 1/2 the fun. @kingofsurrey and I fight and insult each other all the time but I actually appreciate the passion he brings to his side of the argument and it makes me think more about why i see things the way i do. I'd much prefer engagement than apathy.
  3. Not high enough for us to pick and not low enough to drop to 33... he probably ends up a Leaf.
  4. Dammit Jim, do something! Getting itchy for some actual news...

      I hear you.  Get Tanev out of here, and bring back shiny new bobbles!!!!!!

      Or sign some Euro guy we've never heard of that we all think can be a top 6 or top 4 D once we learn how to spell his name?

      Anything!  Just do it!  Even an update on Virtanen's weight would be something.  

  5. yah it was pretty frosty for a while between the Canadian and US govts over that one. I think we're headed for that kind of thing again unfortunately with the speech made yesterday by our Foreign Affairs minister about Trump taking the US out of a global leadership position. Trade war coming too I think. Total waste of all our time and resources.
  6. If the US had more of those "tendencies" you may not have wasted billions on Bush's Iraq war and the subsequent destabilization, all based on WMDs that didn't exist. But having said that, more funding is now on the way: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-lays-out-62-billion-in-new-military-spending-over-20-years/article35231311/
  7. Burke is threatening to take the Flames out of Calgary :lol: The badger really knows how to tweak a fan base.

      We needs more Canadian teams, not less Canadian teams.

      Wonder if Burke will lose his job?

  8. Hard not to love Nashville right now. "its all your fault" has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard from an NHL crowd.

      Majority of people lately who have been attending games are as stuck up as it gets. I remember a particular game I went too with a buddy of mine... I want to say 2006 or so. Game against the Oilers (they were wearing those god awful oil drop jerseys. Canucks came back from behind to win in overtime 5-4.

      Man, that arena was so frigging loud, it was awesome.

      Yeah, when the crowd is alive the hockey game feels more entertaining. I don't know, that's just me though.

      @VanGnome i don't know if its stuck up, or maybe we just don't have as many noise initiators as before. I do think the cell phone wranglers in the corporate seats don't help. Thats why a loud section is such as good idea, it will become infectious. 

  9. It makes me feel good that I can do more pull ups than an NHL top prospect
  10. thats probably an option, but realistically he's at least a couple seasons away from being a top 4 and Dallas has some urgency with their current group to win sooner than later.
  11. they actually need both: http://thehockeywriters.com/stars-and-canucks-perfect-trading-partners/ Both Edler and Tanev make sense for them, but Tanev is the easiest to move.
  12. If all of this is accurate, taking him at 5 might be a steal.
  13. That should be possible with Dallas. There is just too much benefit for them to get Tanev and dump Niemi on us. I just don't see any other team that can get them a top pairing RHD and take back salary too.
  14. for sure. And Jim has spent a lot of time rebuilding the scouting team since he got here so I think they will have a very solid reason for their pick.
  15. I guess it comes down to whether or not you take his comment at face value. I don't. His comments on Doughty this year e.g., show me a kid who doesn't have a lot of respect for other players, a lot like what his old man was like. I think Keith played a big part in this, he hated us back in 2009 and also thought Calgary would give his kid the best chance to make an impact. I have no evidence whatsoever, just a gut feeling that junior and daddy didn't want to end up here.
  16. Or the kid came off as a low character tool, and maybe he also tanked the interview. He did also say that Calgary was the team he hoped would pick him. My guess is both he and his dad did not want the kid playing here.
  17. I think so as well. I still think thats where the Tkachuk pick went off the rails.
  18. Scoring in junior isn't necessarily a great indicator (case in point: Dane Fox who still gets some love here). But lets say Tippet has a great interview, Benning believes the kid has an actual hockey IQ, etc. then maybe in this draft he picks a guy higher than expected. But if all that isn't there BPA makes sense of course. I just find this draft really interesting, there's so much going on that I can see a great combine interview having more weight than maybe other years.
  19. If - and its a big IF - lets say 3 to 10 are too close in talent to differentiate, then isn't that one of the times when you can legitimately draft for need and/or character?
  20. how come you know that and f'n Willie is showing him Pronger videos? That has to be the moment that Nk checked out as a Canuck.
  21. This isn't what you want to see when trying to book a trip: "Show 14 longer and more expensive flights"

     

    Yes please! Can we make my trip to Cleveland more painful?

  22. yup. Its a good example of an actual "hockey trade" of one skill set for another. Not unlike Hall-Larsson.
