  1. So the guy selling 50/50 tickets next season could be making $6 million.
  2. Sorry, I thought we were having a discussion. I'll go and do something more useful.
  3. But they weren't rebuilding for 12 years. They only started rebuilding in 2007 when Rocky Wirtz took over the team from his father
  4. Chicago Blackhawks: 2005/2006 2nd worst team in NHL 2009/2010 Stanley Cup 2012/2013 President's Trophy and Stanley Cup
  5. I wouldn't describe our defencemen as rag-tag. We have some great players but there is no structure to them, We get hemmed in our own zone for way too long, it seemed like we spent 60% of last night's game trying to play out from our D zone and failing. The result is that we get very few shots at the other end of the ice. Montreal and Winnipeg are no more than average teams, we have no chance against good teams like Boston, Washington and Tampa Bay with our present defensive setup.
  6. Yes Quinn was on the ice for 3 of the goals last night, if his defensive frailties are because he is being overplayed, then that is an easy fix.
  7. If we have any enquiries from managers looking for a trade, we can send them up to VGH
  8. If they only get 6 shots in the third period we will be toast. We gotta break out of our own zone quicker.
  9. Your use of Bolton FC as an analogy was a bit unfortunate. Whilst the club itself has a long history, the last time they dropped out of the Premier League they continued dropping until they were in League Two (the fourth tier). They went into administration in 2019 and were only saved from bankruptcy by a last minute investor. They have a huge problem because they are in the shadow of the 2 Manchester clubs who can outspend them in every department. Imagine there were 2 NHL clubs in Vancouver and one BCHL club, which would you go and watch?
  10. Partly. The CBC get billions of dollars from the government so that they won't say anything nasty about them
  11. That may be true, but the players we are overpaying played very little part in that.
  12. Can't stand the guy and can't understand how he keeps that job. Hasn't anyone ever told him it's rude to point? He treats everyone on the program as if he is the teacher and they are the pupils. Our tax dollars at work
  13. Yep, if she's wearing black leather she definitely gets my....um.....er.....thumb up
  14. Unfortunately it's a bad habit JB has; he overpays for people. A quick look at Holtby's stats would tell you that he peaked from 2014/15 to 2016/17 during which time he had 21 shutouts. In his last year in Washington he had no shutouts, his save percentage was below 9.00 and he allowed over 3 goals per game. For most managers that would have set the alarm bells ringing.
  15. Of those two I'd rather see JV gone. Gauds is at least consistent with his compete level, and I get the feeling that he might have a breakout season soon. Jake plays one good game and then he is invisible in the next.
  16. Yeah JV should sit the next game. Punching someone who's in a headlock is not big, and it could have cost us the game.
  17. I've been critical of Miller, mainly because of his giveaways, but that goal was a thing of great beauty
  18. With all the practice they get you would think the Canadiens would be good in overtime
  19. How could refs miss high stick on Myers, he was down on the ice? Instead of 4 min PP for us the refs give it to the Habs
  20. You just know the Habs are going to take it to overtime. That's what they do.
  21. Would have enjoyed that period a lot more if the cameraman had actually followed the play. I'm pretty sure if Shea Weber had pulled out a gun and shot Hoglander dead he might have got a 2 minute minor.
  22. Roussel has 3 points and 35 PIM in 29 games. Vesey gets more points, stays out of the box more and can play on the PK. Sounds like a direct replacement to me, at a third of the price.
  23. Damn I missed her. My stream wouldn't stream so I ended up watching the French feed. No eye candy at all.
