  1. wow! good find.. I think we can consider both those records smashed.. maybe by Xmas..?
  2. like a rash that won't go away?
  3. I tend to agree, but I wonder if they mostly leave it up to him.. it's his contract year, he wants to kick ass.. not sure if it's just me, but I've noticed a lot more emotion from him lately, mostly angry.. is that because of losing his dad or losing the game? or most likely a bit of both? I sure wouldn't want to be in his position.. knowing you have to play lights out for your family's future, while trying to deal with losing a parent..
  4. are these things for real? why is the C on #20? what am I missing here...
  5. dare to dream.. (please oh please oh please oh please...)
  6. you may be right Alf, but a public figure with a large viewership needs to choose his words a bit more carefully.. that's the lesson.. right or wrong, that's the world we live in, and if Don doesn't like it, well here's the public (and ultimately his employer's) response to his attitude towards the cultural climate of the day.. my dad says stuff like that all the time, and he's a decent man who swears up & down he's not a racist, but that's just the lingering cultural aftertaste of the world he grew up in.. and I'm sure that 99% of people are no better, we all have said things that were misunderstood or that we straight up regret.. but let's not forget that the words from our mouths ultimately reflect the attitudes buried in our heart.. I'm not saying Don is right or wrong, and I admire those that have the courage to speak up for what's right, especially those whose life is set up in such a way that they don't really need to.. but at the end of the day, you can't say stuff like that on prime time tv, end of story.. maybe he should move to a podcast or something where his views wouldn't be so scrutinized.. could be very popular
  7. this is exactly it.. all he had to say was 'anyone not wearing a poppy'.. still opinionated, just not singling out one group while leaving out another.. Maybe they were looking for an excuse, or might have been a hard choice, but either way their hands were kinda tied..
  8. having recently lost my mom, it's hard to imagine him playing in the 'fog' that lingers after losing someone close.. add to that, it's a very hard position to play on a good day, being under a microscope in a hockey crazed market like Van.. it really sheds some light on the mental toughness of JM.. my hat's off to him, and my heart goes out to him..
  9. I'm sure his team mate liked it too, cocked back for a one-time pass.. the thing about those flashy plays is that if you make them count its on the goal of the year highlight reel, if you don't it looks immature /selfish /silly.. especially if there's a real scoring chance.. my opinion - save it for the shootout. especially in the nhl, you gotta make the high percentage play.. he'll learn that tho..
  10. not sure but I gotta ask.. why wouldn't team A just clear the puck or smother it? mildly interesting scenario I suppose..
  11. yah no mention of Manny.. it seems to me that Bo became one of the best in the league after MM came on to coach faceoffs.. we had some tough years on the dot, Manny deserves to be extended if he hasn't been
  12. I wonder if they shipped around and didn't really find any better options?
  13. agreed.. I think Stetcher is fine & all, but we likely have a replacement in the pipeline anyways.. Tram, Raff, Woo..? sometimes it's nice to know what you have, and he's good enough on the 3rd pair, but it's also his contract year, and he might want a raise over the 2.3 he gets now..
  14. wow.. crystal ball? what if Marky blows out a knee or something & TD inherits the #1, somehow managing to maintain his stellar play? I think he'd get a sniff.. but anyways I'm not saying he will, just that he's playing pretty much lights out so far which complicates the future goalie situation in Van.. not that there's anything unusual about that..
