  1. …or there was this take from Avalanche Reddit. So different from CDC.
  2. Very wise Brilac! My father (who was not a great father) used to say “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” My wife was at a new job for only a couple of days when she came home and said how she had been treated with a lack of respect by a supervisor. I reminded her of this saying which basically means that if you allow someone to treat you with disrespect they will think that it is ok and continue to do it, getting worse over time. She went in the next morning and asked for a meeting with the supervisor where she explained how she expected to be treated. They had a meeting of minds and she wound up working there happily for 14 years. If you have earned respect ask for it once but demand it after that. From everyone, family, friends, partner, employer included. You treat people with respect and you deserve the same.
  3. Best known for Terminator and countless memes.
  4. Nowhere really to post this but this is one classy kid.
  5. Last year we drafted Ty Young and Koskenuvo the year before.
  6. That’s exactly what Clarke says - one goalie drafted at least every two years.
  7. If a player is not drafted by the age of 20 he becomes an unrestricted free agent. When Can a Team Sign an Undrafted Player? There is an easy answer to this question. According to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, or CBA, you can sign any player who has gone undrafted in as little as one NHL Entry Draft to an Entry-Level Contract, or ELC. For instance, following the 2016 NHL Draft, the Calgary Flames invited Rouyn-Noranda Huskies defenseman Philippe Myers to their development camp after going undrafted in his first year of draft eligibility. He was then invited by the Flyers to attend their NHL pre-season camp, and impressed them enough that they signed him to an ELC on September 21st, prior to the camp ending and before the next QMJHL season started. Some scouting people said if he had not signed that ELC with the Flyers, he may have been a potential first round pick in the next draft.
  8. They are undrafted and have already attended NHL rookie & training camps. Both are free agents so I’d definitely ask Clarkie to pick one and sign him. Take prospects wherever you can.
  9. What kind of a sick son-of-a tries to pass a picture of an emu egg off as a stone!!
  10. Redemption for Clarke on the goal. Nice takeaway then pushed the puck up ice.
  11. We’re all with you on the justice and accountability side of things. If I’m not mistaken wasn’t Canada asked to step in and host late in the game when Russia was barred from hosting and participating?
  12. Scott Smith and the entire board of Hockey Canada was forced to step down in October and new leadership is being looked for. Is it enough? No, but we are watching. Meanwhile these kids who have been accused of zero, zip, nada are playing proudly for their country and most of us will happily support them on the one hand while we wait to ensure that Hockey Canada is dealt with in a meaningful way.
