    Well pissing off a bunch of his friends who you have to negotiate contracts with in the millions of dollars in very short order seems like really bad business.

     

    In real life, business is about relationships... not trying to &^@# people over as much as you can.

    Funny how people don’t understand this. No one wants to be part of an organization that just throws their players under the bus.

    They have two lines.    Mathews and Tavares is one of the best one two punches in the league and their bottom six is impressive too.    Hate to say this but TO might win a cup this year. 

    I just can’t picture anyone other than maybe Colorado beating Tampa in a 7 game series. Unfortunately the north division has been pretty weak, and Toronto hasn’t really faced too much serious competition. I’ll admit that they’re looking pretty good, but I just don’t see them competing with the likes of Tampa and Colorado.

    We have a lot of whiners. Ridiculous how a pretty average 3 x 3.25 signing has some people wanting to cheer for Seattle. Disgusting.

     

    The cap circumvention is being unchecked for certain teams, while we got dinged hard for Luongo's cap.

     

    Those whiners aren’t fans, they’re babies

    I would have grabbed him.. Jake has plateaued and become time consuming project .

    Evgeny needs game time .. could be the powerhouse we hoped Jake would be.

    Time to Waive Jake.. hope somebody takes him off our cap.

     



     

    I understand the frustration with Virtanen but this is an extremely underwhelming highlight reel

    There's no precedent for a goalie with less than 100 games played getting much more than that. 

     

    Binnington has a career save percentage similar to Demko's and if you added his 4.4x2 and the first three years of his 6x6, you get 26.8 over 5 years.

     

    Demko gets a slight discount for not being bridged and for the security.

     

    It's pretty much exactly where I think everyone expected the contract to be so there shouldn't be much of the whole "take that JB HATEORZ" when there's no precedent for goalies getting much more or much less.

     

     

    I agree that there’s a bit of risk involved, especially considering he’s a goalie. But I feel like this is a tiny gamble that could have a potentially huge payout. Time will tell I suppose. All Demmer has done for the last year is improve so I’m hopeful.

    Not at all correct. The Riverview Hospital was located on the Riverview lands. They can't be privately developed and they are building a new hospital there. The facility was closed because it was outdated and no longer funded.

     

    Back on topic, any info on the perpetrator?

     

    I believe he’s in custody but can’t confirm 100%.

    I live across the street from this... Work in the mall where it happened. Any other day and I'd have been right there.

     

    Can't believe something like this could happen in my community.

    Same here. It’s been pretty devastating for the community. My parents were there when it all happened, heartbroken for the victims but thankful my family is safe.

    That's not the least bit graphic in my view deb,   I've seen worse on Sat morning cartoons.   

     

    Thoughts out to the victims in this unfortunate incident.   The rates of mental illness related violence just doesn't seem sustainable in society - would really like to see those in positions to make decisions take some more effective action on this issue. 

    I’ve seen footage of the same incident but a closer view. It’s the suspect attempting to cut his own wrist in a pretty violent manner. Fairly graphic stuff.

    The better his team does in playoffs the more nervous I get that he comes to Vancouver. His team will try everything to get him resigned. What happens if Putin gives him a phone call? Podz leaving for the NHL hurts the entire KHL and has political implications. 

    It ain’t that deep lol. All signs point towards Pod coming to Vancouver. He’s a determined kid who wants to play in the best league in the world.

    how is it hard to come across the net? you just need to push.

    It’s tough for a goalie when a guy is flying down the wing and comes across the net, especially when there’s multiple bodies in front. That’s a goal a lot of the time regardless of the league.

    that don't impress me much, many nhl goalies would have made that save. still a very good effort by podz

    That’s a goal a lot of times in the nhl. It’s tough for a goalie to come across the net when a guys crashing the net like that. See that kinda goal pretty frequently.
