I have a feeling that job jar in the kitchen is going to be front and center for the next while.. - sigh -

ok yah, that's what I thought - not truly airborne, like you could walk into an invisible covid19 cloud

it's airborne now?

can you broadcast that?

ERROR 404 - FILE NOT FOUND.. sorry, I've deleted that memory..

good reminder.. adios, Sportsnet

yah they can have the Presidents Trophy, but points don't guarantee a cup, just ask Tampa

which in all honesty wouldn't be all bad.. we'd keep our first round pick in a draft that is apparently pretty deep.. instead of giving it away while limping into the playoffs under strange circumstances.. takes Green & Benning off the hot seat.. try again next year

that's friggin brutal.. I thought most infected people could self isolate & ride it out at home.. does every patient in Italy actually need to be in a hospital? what happens if someone comes in with a legit problem (heart attack, industrial accident)?

this is what bugs me.. fear mongering to generate more control hype and fear to such a degree that people have stopped thinking rationally and there's widespread panic.. obviously I don't want to catch this bug (or anyone to catch it) but I'm far more concerned with the economic impacts coming down the pipeline.. at first I was mostly annoyed by it all - not worried about it, but it felt like a senseless disruption.. now I feel like we're all lambs being led to the slaughter, whether a viral slaughter or an economic one..

hmm.. agree to disagree on that. not that Motte isn't replaceable, but I'll take him over Roussel at this point, especially for the salary. I don't see that as an upgrade (although I will concede that I haven't seen what Roo can do in the playoffs) I would assume Hoglander will be a nice 3rd, maybe even 2nd liner.. Lind, at this point, my guess would be 3rd/4th line.. who knows where either peaks out.. but either way, I think Motte is an ideal 4th liner who has earned a spot, and we can't assume the youngbloods can automatically replace him just yet

a couple years back I found myself at the bottom of a bottle of dark rum and in a spirited argument, insisting T2 was in the top 25 movies ever made..

can't see Lind replacing Motte at this point.. sure hope Benning can resign Toffoli..

well that's just f-ing fantastic.

Ok.. this stupid coronavirus thing is getting out of hand.. I'm booked on a family cruise in May - looks like that might be off the table.. I've got tickets to the Canucks game in Vegas on the 23rd - will that even happen? I realize that the virus is real and dangerous to some people, but now different leagues are contemplating playing games for an empty house.. Bo Horvat says that's not cool.. Lebron James says no thanks.. but it's a real possibility, now that it's officially a pandemic.. so what would this mean for the playoffs? how would FA feel if the Canucks finally make the post season and the seats are empty? wouldn't it totally ruin the playoff vibe if the were no fans present? collective team energy probably wouldn't be very high, the games would likely suck. could the games be pushed back? would it be better to just tank and try again next year? most importantly, can't people just wash their friggin hands, and stay home if they're sick? I don't want to go to Vegas, find the game is cancelled, and get quarantined on the way home..

how many years does Fantenberg have left...?

is that the same Martin picking on Stecher..?

there it is.. can't believe they extended him mic drop, next topic

I see a lot of mention of Pod being an 18yo playing in the KHL, & that being good for development.. sounds good to me.. but for contrast, does anyone know how many other 18yo players are in / have been in the K? is it a rarity or pretty normal?

wouldn't NT's cap hit be pro rated to the number of regular season games remaining? like 10 games left or whatever, so 1/8th of a season's cap hit.. 3.2 mill would only be 400,000 ish.. who would know these things? edit: nvm, looks like this has been covered

here's hoping.. and who sits... big Mac? Roo? Sutter hasn't looked great lately..

why is the team so flat? looks like they don't even care.. like coach came in and announced that the whole league is fixed and oh yah sorry boys, Canucks aren't in the playoffs this year..

would Raff need to be protected for the ED?

at this point, fully agree on Madden & Lockwood.. at this point, I'm unsure on Gaudette, will he end up a 3rd center or 3rd line wing, who knows.. Beagle has 2 years left after this? I could see trying to move his contract, but who would take it and who would replace him? he's a keeper imo.. and BoHo.... that was a joke right? he's the quintessential 2C.. 60ish points, 200 ft game, face off champ.. game still needs to grow, but he ain't moving down.. unless the cap is suddenly over 100 mill..
