      @Western Red lol, thanks?

      It's crazy though, how much of the food supply is large factor in the overall health crisis in North America. I mean, most of it is propagated by poor dietary choices and lack of exercise by many, if not the majority, but if not for the temptation of that quick and cheap and crap food, the same people who make those poor choices would still have far fewer health issues.

      well Mr. Funk, I think the aging process must be where the magic is because is just a really smooth drink. Apparently it starts in an oak barrel and finishes off for a few years in a port barrel so there's a lot of good things going on in there.

      I'm not surprised or upset.  Somebody asked me the other day to rank the teams and I ranked Team USA behind both Canada and Sweden.

       

      Gold medal teams don't lose to Slovakia.  That shows a shortage of championship character and leadership.

      Better they collapse under pressure right away, rather than in the playoffs for 7 million each.

      i did not intend my post to suggest they should be thrown to the wolves now

      just that the question is not completely offside but relatively fair

       

      S'all Good Man appears to be expressing a valid concern as well

      that these kids should not be thrown to the wolves before they have gained some more maturity

      expecting as kid of 18 or so to respond now to the pressures of playoff hockey is a bit ludicrous

      perhaps in 4 or 5 years, with better preparation, they will develop to be able to manage those expectations

      A $100 million playoff roster and they need a 6 on 4 to score their only goal against the Islanders.  I wonder what they will do next year?  Any more players they can trade for that are on LTIR?

    Nilsson or Markstrom? Who has the best chance to be "elite"?

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      I think they're about dead even honestly. Coming into this year, I expected Nilsson to out-perform Markstrom, but they've both been incredible.

    2. JM_

      JM_

      Nilsson seems a bit more calm in net with less movement, just seems to have great positioning all the time. Seems to be a better puck handler as well. I'm leaning Nilsson, but I do like what Marky is doing as well.

      yeah but the buzz was COL was going to take him as part of a trade. Now that seems kaput. CS is also still really bad. But I guess that helps the tank.

    No big name D moved pre-expansion... makes a Dallas deal for Tanev even more likely imo.

    2. JM_

      JM_

      thats true joe, but we can pick up a solid veteran D in free agency to help with that. If Dallas wants Tanev as much as rumoured then the Canucks being able to pick 3rd and 5th this year is a huge step in the rebuild, much more than keeping Tanev and finishing say 25th instead of 28th in the standings. 

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      If Tanev gets us #3 JB will do that.  I'm wondering if there are other teams bidding for Tanev's service?  At what point does is the return not enough?  Would we take 8 from Buffalo?

    4. JM_

      there could be @Alflives but Dallas needs him the most.

      and Bob McKenzie seems to think he's a lock to take over in Dallas. Which would actually make sense as he led their AHL team to a championship the season before we hired him. 

    3. JM_

      JM_

      yup, and he'll probably be a better coach there because he go to cut his teeth here. We should be getting a pick out of Dallas :lol:

      @Jimmy McGill I'm obviously just speculating, but just like with any market, it depends on how the sellers sell him and whether the buyer agrees. The Leafs will try to sell him as a C, and if so, 20 goals, 41 assists, +20 shouts first-line Center at a very young age. The Leafs will want a proven player, a first-rounder and a couple of prospects for him.

    3. JM_

      JM_

      thats probably true on the Leafs asking price... maybe Edmonton can afford that right now? it would set us back a year on the rebuild. 

    4. Vinny in Vancouver

      Vinny in Vancouver

      @Jimmy McGillI agree. If management is confident Elias Pettersson is going to be our future 1C and Horvat's a 2C/team captain, I don't think they will be paying 1C money on another player at this point of the rebuild. The situation's different next year if (when) they get the number 1 overall draft pick. They have to get BPA and draft Quinn's brother even if he will end up as the 1C. But hey, I'm no GM and it's not my money...

      @alflives

      anyone showing an interest in him

      cannot share your viewpoint

      they will have an assessment that assumes the oilers are a mess

      cannot properly develop talent

      and that the poolster is a talented young player that needs better surroundings

      oilers will not firesale him

      so i can see a lower 1st round pick getting it doen

      or a player like virtanen.. high pick, slowish development

      I sure would.  Better team, closer to home, and a better city?  Why the hell would anyone play for an AHL team in one of the worst cities in North America with fans who are deluded into thinking their joke of a franchise belongs in the NHL?

    OEL-Myers pairing has only given up 5 goals against 5on 5 this season. Thats better than Tanev, Schmidt and McAvoy.

      Why should he, or any other politician? I don't care how smooth (or not) talking my preferred candidate is, I care that they adequately, sincerely and honestly talk about the issues that matter to me.

       

      Christy Clark is way too disingenuous, and just comes off as smarmy.

      Horgan is just a giant blow horn, he even *looks* like a typical figure head/pawn (bought and paid for by the unions).

      I didn't get to see much but he was SO intense.  To the point I couldn't listen to him.  As for the "why should he?".   Well you want people to listen...that's sort of the point.  It's not about being smooth, it's about being calm and in control.  He raised my bp.
