  1. one tends to yearn for that wherever the four winds blow.. no arguement there.. but there is a chance NT reads these forums.. yikes. on the other hand, what does he expect? you can't display your trophy for all to see, then get upset when someone gets caught looking.. I believe you're off the hook altogether..
  2. under NO circumstances would I EVER verbalize any extra-marital fantasies that include the wife of a man that size.. simmer, Nux.. simmer...
  3. I'd rather 'benefit' TO by taking them to the cleaners.. we don't owe them Jack $#!T, and Kadri's a dooooche-tard. Fk 'em. no thanks
  4. hmmm... that leaves us with Lucic? I don't like the sound of that..
  5. good thing you're not benning.. JP might still turn into something, but I wouldn't bet OJ on it.. I'd look at balancing out a trade of Sutter or Tanev for him tho..
  6. I hoped OJ would turn out like a Josi type player, but with his injury troubles, I'm just not sure what to expect.. Might be overstating, but it seems like every time he gets rolling, bad things happen to him.. He seems to me like a smooth, smart player who will be a valuable top 4 guy when he gets things figured out.. However, the last thing Van needs is another injury prone top 4.. hopefully this isn't the case..
  7. you may be right... do you recall his injury history at all? seems to me he was a healthy guy most of the time.
  8. fantastic talent, loved watching him play.. but isn't he like 40+..? not sure the NHL is the league for him at this point..
  9. every player will react and adjust at their own pace.. some get it quicker than others, some never do. that's why there's more than one draft round.. If there's mid - to - late 1st round picks that fail each and every year, I think we can extend some grace to young Master Lind. I'm sure he's his own worst critic.
  10. hmmm.. kind of a cool idea, but if we can't draft anything different at 9 than we could at 10, then there's no actual benefit for either team there. that leaves trading Sutter and hutton for the 20th pick, which I don't think is enough return.. we need a scoring winger, so how about trading Sutter & Hutton for Comtois. That could bring joy to CDC..
  11. yah I really don't get it.. of course I have no friggin idea why people are so amped on 'local boys' so what do I know..
  12. like you're thinking of a Lindros type scenario? I'll take 2020 1st, Taylor Hall and Will Butcher. done.
  13. I hear ya there.. I wonder how many teams would be comfortable having their play put under a microscope.. they might be surprised where it all balances out. Having the league apologise to VGK really makes a statement though. It's obviously going to be a talking point at the next GM meeting. I think it's just a matter of time before they start working with video assist refs, maybe in the preseason to start..
  14. Maybe.. but why couldn't the league interfere at the time then? instead of letting the game play out.. now it's like they're saying San Jose shouldn't even be playing anymore? that's not going to fuel any anger or anything..
  15. JP & NG are pretty much a wash.. Lucic is a very expensive plug.. Schaller doesn't produce much & Sutter isn't worth his money.. If you're in a generous mood, I guess you could say that they wash with ML..? That means you're trading Markstrom for a 2nd rd pick.. really hoping EB turns into something big, huh?
  16. this is what I'd really like to see.. get him back here asap so we can focus on wingers.. And if he doesn't pan out, at least we know & can move on sooner rather than later.
  17. After a bit of a puzzling call, San Jose completes the most improbable comeback, one for the history books. I don't think I've ever seen more than 2 goals on a major penalty. Hats off to the Sharks for feeding on the energy and making the most of the opportunity. It was literally a feeding frenzy, absolutely amazing. This game will be remembered for ages... but not only because of the staggering comeback... In retrospect, I believe it would be hard to find anyone who truly believes 'The Call' was the right one - players, fans, management, refs, Pavelski... anyone. Possible exceptions would be people who don't understand the game (my wife for instance), Bettman (because he's a moron), and people who don't have access to video review. During the intermission, the panel got into a good discussion about the penalty call, and then the opinions about the use of video review started. I believe it was Elliott that suggested giving the help to the refs when they need it. He even suggested using it for delay of game calls. I'm of the understanding that they want to leave as much power as they can with the on-ice officials, but instances like this don't help. I think most would agree a minor penalty could have been called, maybe SJ scores, and they're back in it, no big deal. In most circumstances, even on a major, they score 1 or 2, they're back in it, game gets exciting. But because of the outcome of the resulting power play, the entire game was changed and obviously the seasons of 2 franchises end differently than expected. Players, management, owners, and fans alike are either outraged or elated, but shocked either way. Does this game become the point we look back to as the start of the Video Review Era?
  18. I was going to bring up the same players, especially palmu.. like.. really..? I like how it was put: feel free to blow the expectations away. but come on.. an overage, undersized 6th round pick..? yah.. clearly the organization failed him.. lol.. he's the poster child for unrealistic expectations and unreasonable complaining
  19. perhaps it's the over-hyping of late round prospects that leads to disappointment and general crankiness.. the next step is hyper criticism.. we all reserve the right to be cranky when first rounders don't pan out. but even that happens to EVERY team now and then.. little dose of reality would be good medicine for some people..
