Stelar

I watched for a period and to me it looked like they were out in their pyjamas.  Definitely not T.V. friendly.

Our jerseys actually look fly on the ice though.

Still think we need to remove the the double green stripes. Just have one green stripe instead. Not as bad as everyone making it out to be tho. 

Strap it to their head/face, like they're wearing a gas mask.

I don't think the NHL cares at all about whether or not it looks stupid, but it could be argued as unsafe (akin to playing without a well-fastened helmet, but to a lesser degree), so I could see it becoming a rule some day.

Look at Russell Wilson in the NFL. He takes his mouth guard out and puts in the cage of his helmet then puts it back in his mouth, after he's called the play. What you do on the bench who cares. As long as they wear it and it helps reduce the chance of a concussion. 

"I was there...trying to hold up the towers as the terrorists knocked them down.  It was the biggest pile of debris I have ever moved by myself...it was unbelievable".  

He'll blame the attack on Obama.

Secretly trying to negotiate with the Taliban the week of 9/11 not screwing things enough? Certainly is insulting.

@J-23 That is a nasty rumour that I've heard too but I tried to do research on it. One article or two articles (from the same author) included it in his list, while some reddit posters talked about it.

I'm not sure I believe that particular one, but who really knows?

I suggested it about 2 weeks ago... do i get the credit 

It makes sense. We get LTIR they get a player that they could really use for their 2-3 year rebuild. 

Didn't you get the memo? 

Also spent a 1st to get Hamonic. Did that become DOBSON(?!) or Wahlstrom? forget

@Nuxfanabroad Hamonic was good for them though. The leafs on the other hand traded Marleau + 1st...

Well worth the bleed, Heffy.

I cry every time I see an update on him like this.

Burke was there too last night. 

Statistically speaking the number order matters because it can be perceived as an early indicator of potential/success.

Also because of improvements in scouting you don't find many of those Datsuk or Zetterberg type players anymore buried in late rounds.

I think you misread that. Gaunce is average as a 26th overall pick. There are 26th overalls who have played many more games with much more successful careers.

^ yes my bad. 

Pathetic. Remember when Skinner was gonna get 50 goals? I feel for Reinhart, great guy, deserves better.

I logged on to CDC literally to just post this. If they were a CDN team they'd be getting eaten alive like the Oilers. 

They're pretty good at this tanking thing, seems like they've hit Edmonton level of futility.

a buyout isn't worth doing 

@CanuckinEdm thanks. So not really worth it. Maybe we pull the Gagner treatment. 

@Stelar I don't think the Marlies would have any interest in Loui.

Lol it's kinda funny. Ennis had a hat trick against them. I'm okay with that. 

once you watch it for the third time you might get it

You'll get it soon enough.  They're all divided into houses.  That will make it easier for you to follow if you just start remembering what house they belong to.

That show pisses me off almost as much as the walking dead.

Think I was half way through season four when I started hoping for an asteroid or some disaster to kill them all and make it stop.

Leipsic passes the eye test. No deal

Really didn't want to have to go here- but we'll sub Leiper for Gagner and retain 50%.

Think Chyka just saw EP break Ryan Stromes ankles highlight ...and decided to ship his brother out of town.

You're just realizing that now?  That guy is one of the most massive homers in the game.  You always want your announcers to side with your team, but that guy brings it to another level entirely.

And that stupid fake announcing voice that he puts on is grating.

@SabreFan1 I knew it before but last night was other worldly even for him 

Glad I didn't watch the game in that case.  Marchand channeling Neilson probably put his homerism into overdrive I'm sure.

alf

are you second tier and available?

otherwise they may have to bite the bullet

and overpay for Q

but Q seems like a bit of a bull

maybe chiapet would be frightened of him

Coastal, Alf doesn’t even make a tier.  

I was listening to the Oiler’s post game radio show last night, and even the hosts were promoting dumping McLellan.  They were hopeful about getting Quenneville.   

Coach Q with the Oilers:

You can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****.

Heard on the news two high school kids were killed, gangland style, just a couple days ago on the “one”  bad street in Surrey.  

I smoked pot on that street a few times

Because different people like different things? Because taste is subjective? 

Tell me, why do you watch fake television shows?

@48MPHSlapShot fair enough. To each their own but was wondering if it was the fake fighting or the other that drew people. My twitter timeline was full of some wrestler dude today so I was asking the question. 

@Stelar It's a performance art, much more akin to something like gymnastics or interpretive dance than any actual fight. It's a stage show with storylines and unique performances unlike any other medium in entertainment that, when done well, can manifest itself in some of the most emotionally gripping television out there.

I kinda miss it..... 

Doesn't look like he's going to get off lightly:

@Brad Marchand thats ridiculous for this incident, but he's an easy target. 

@Alflives I was at many of the 1994 run games.   I watch that hockey now and think "this is crap".   I think the game has improved.  Players are better, faster, more skilled.   How the league is run is a different matter.

@Screw

Totally agree.  The game has evolved into a much faster one, that's for sure.  (The impact of the high speed collisions I'm not a fan of though)  The Southern US cities might be hurting the game now, but I wonder (if in the long term) they we spread the game?  

NHL94 the game was super hot.

IKR? Bruins were old and slow just three years ago.

Quality picks in the last 3 years and suddenly they're back in the mix. And other than DeBrusk, the Canucks picked higher in each draft.  This is where Benning can be criticized.

He's looking like the best of Boston's three 2015 1st rounders.

On another note, where did Danton Heinen come from and how is nobody even mentioning this guy? 31 points in 37 games as a rookie. Also happens to be from Langley.

Hate seeing the Bruins progress.

Janko is such a beauty, we miss him in Stockton Also he's a great person. 

It just took him a bit to blossom. They seem to have a few late bloomers (Janko, Mangiapane, Hathaway) in Flames organization that might be real players someday. 

^ More heavily populated.

Someone getting shot in Chicago is as newsworthy as me getting up 2-3 times per night to pee.  I'm a middle aged man so chances are good it's going to happen each and every night.

Chicago is a city with over 10% of the population of Canada packed in less than 250 square miles and is chock full of scumbags with guns.  Just like with me peeing multiple times a night, chances are good that people are going to get shot and killed in Chicago. 

President Donald Skroob once even threatened to send in the national guard if Mayor Emmanuel Moron couldn't get things under better control.

Just checked the population of Chicago.  I thought it had about a million more people than it actually does.  It's population is 2.7 million, so it's just under 10% of the population of Canada rather than over.

I barely wade in there anymore.  To borrow from @Nuxfanabroad, I'll let the dreamers have their fun in the those threads.  The danger is if you spend too much time in those threads then you risk mistaking dreams for reality and get impatient and disappointed with the harsh realities of a rebuild.

I hate them too, bro. 

i dont care for them either, usually they either severely overvalue our players or severely undervalue them. Its very rare when you see one that actually seems like a workable deal

But yet still good enough to play on a team in the second round of the playoffs. You're right, he must be terrible. 

That said, I'm not a big Weber fan, just think maybe players aren't as bad as some fans think.  

So I guess if Aaron Rome was on the Canucks in 2011 he was a great D-man? Flawed logic there.

Miss the playoffs, then the next kick in the nuts of dropping spots in the draft.

No way. This is our year to draft Hischier, I can feel it. 

I fully expect that wherever we finish, we will drop the most amount of spots. Book it
