  1. Do you ever read a post on CDC and wonder if you've been watching the wrong team for the past few years?

      I was a Habs fan in the late 60s , was only a kid. But that was the only team that was capable of kicking Boston’s ass  as well as Toronto’s. Vancouver never really gave anyone much to cheer for until 82. Ain’t gunna lie I followed the oilers simply because they could do the same as that 70s Habs team. It was amazing watching their rise from inception. But st louis’s rise was the first expansion team to go all the way the first year. Probly the toughest team ever. Not dirty tough either. Just tough with all 3 plager brothers. Bob, bill and Barkley. Much bigger than the gassoff brothers. It was said they were from Canada’s toughest family. They were pretty impressive. I know Smithers joe doesn’t like the plagers because one of them ended joe watsons career.

      @-DLC- Here’s one to go along with your blast from the last pic the other day Prince rupert silver grizzly kings seniorA. Pnwhl circa 1978 in this  pic there’s 3 jr b eligible players:ph34r: but since there wasn’t enough talent to form a complete team chhl made allowance for this there’s 4 aged out whl guys ,and 1 St. Louis draft protected guy this version at the time was considered 3 , 4 best in western Canada behind  quesnel kangaroos  ft St. John flyers  the year before this team played in the Allan cup finals only because the kangaroos led by 3 gasoff brothers didn’t have a league to represent theirs folded  subsequently our kings were bounced early  that would have been good to be a part of but wasn’t there  12565373_10153869710547640_2929249964987879605_n.jpg.c021c1e1e66d1ad17de428c14f09d4dc.jpg

      Let me ask you this....

       

      some people are quick to get into PGT after player X plays well / scores / etc and they are

       

      "oh where are all the player X haters now?? Don't have the guts to come in here....but they'll be back when player X doesn't score"


      why do those same people rarely show up in a PGT where player X played poorly?

       

      Seems a little hypocritical to me...

  6. my daughter (my only child that I know of) turns 16 today and I suddenly feel very old....is this normal?

      Mine just turned 16 a few weeks ago. Yes makes me feel old. 
      It is the 13 year old that tests the patience though. Endlessly and unrelentingly

      He is really solid, I think he also does games for MTL on TSN.

  10. why are people against improving the team...do you really feel this team is a cup contender, even when healthy?

    1. naslund.is.king

      naslund.is.king

      whats your idea of improving the team? What are you willing to give up?

      What does "improving the team" mean?

      It all depends on what they are asking for and what we are getting back.

       

       

  11. hmmm, was expecting a few apologies...or at least a "wow, I see now that you were right"....

      I apologize that the resurgence was not as resurgent as I would have hoped.

  12. I am of the opinion there is a big split in the dressing room and I am trying to figure out who is on which side...any thoughts?

    Anti Green: Boeser, Pettersson, Miller

    Pro Green: Bo, Myers, Demko

      I think the players are more anti Benning at this point

      Benning's gonna trade Pettersson if this keeps up like he did Tyler Seguin early in Boston :mellow: for you guessed it Loui Player Name

      I haven't been shy about stating where I think the split is, and that's with Miller.

      @allegendI agree, once those guys are back we are a different team. Coaching change could make another massive impact. But those players are key to a good run at the end of the year.

      @BureBurritoI think any team that spends to the cap should have expectations to be a playoff team year after year. That is not reality I know but its my expectation for sure, anything less is disappointing. The young guys are such a bright spot, but it is still disappointing when we don't make the playoffs.

    4. Curmudgeon

      Curmudgeon

      A team doesn't just come together and perform at playoff-level intensity when nearly a third of the players dressed for each game are new. It's kind of like cooking; a recipe might call for ten different ingredients, but nobody would throw them all together and expect it to be edible within a few minutes. It needs time to cook and for the ingredients to intermingle and form a perfectly cooked meal. So, again I preach patience, people. Patience.

      Problem with society today.

       

      Instead of listening to and thinking about different opinions, people would rather shut them out and live in their ignorant bubble.
