  1. have you really been gone? huh. how 'bout that.
  2. this is an asinine argument. no team goes against their own interests to spite a prospect who's moving on. did petey get stapled to the bench in his last year before coming over? I seem to remember it differently...
  3. hopefully no team, including the canucks, would be dumb enough to pair a borderline player like tryamkin with a 30 minute per night franchise dman.
  4. kinda regretting not going tonight. was on the fence, but just couldn't do it when I have to wake up before 5 tomorrow morning. will re-evaluate friday night if there are any seats left.
  5. yep, at the dome. the previous abby game I went to in calgary was very empty, just a month or 2 ago. $30 for front row, resting my feet on the boards at the blueline. looking at tickets now, there's not much left at all. I'm guessing since the flames shit the bed it drove up demand for wranglers tickets.
  6. tempting to buy tickets in calgary for game 2. $46 a seat isn't too bad for playoff hockey.
  7. I like woo's game from the couple games I've seen live. I wasn't especially high on him before and I'm always a guy who keeps expectations reasonable, but he has a chance. juice's truly separating skill, though, was his confidence. that's what always carried him far more than his skillset and talent ever could.
  8. boeser is a lock for team USA in any best on best tournament.
  9. yeah, I think there might have been too much bird dog in ol' benji. the guy is an amateur scout at heart -- he's 3rd generation for chrissakes -- and it's like any other obsessive collector or hobbyist, he's just hyper focused on that task. finding the kids was his passion; he was less interested in what happened afterwards. unfortunately for him and for us, running a hockey team isn't like collecting pokemon cards.
  10. the nice thing is that we can actually ponder that because this organization is going back to overcooking its prospects and making the NHL roster a lot more challenging to graduate to. there are a lot of kids on this team that have a lot of promise and deserve to get a look, but allvin and tocchet aren't going to make it easy for them to get. no more development in the big leagues.
  11. yeah, and philly gave up on sharp much to chicago's benefit. hopefully the same doesn't happen with brock.
  12. you're right, they should be better than edmonton's 3 100+ point player powerplay.
  13. not being retained is the same as being fired. though I guess he could claim he was laid off if it makes him feel better since they aren't filling the position.
  14. yeah, you're describing a bottom 10 team. the powerplay is the least of their worries. the fact that king achieved what he did with a completely broken team and no threat from the point is pretty damn good. I'm fine with him being fired because there were too many cooks in the kitchen, but he was by no means a problem or an area that needed particular improvement (compared to the whole).
  15. a bottom 10 team with a top 10 pp isn't being let down by their pp.
  16. and other times.you end up with back-to-back-to-back calder finalists.
  17. it's because he's the only one left who is an actual journalist instead of just some moron on twitter who yells real loud. I can only imagine the ulcer a guy like imac must have from being forced to call the wretched, undeserving cretins he's surrounded by "colleagues".
  18. I don't care about his opinions regardless. I hate him for his approach and his attitude. he hasn't earned the right to have his opinion published is the biggest problem.
  19. he's part of the "new media" which means not learning the slightest thing about journalism and just striving for the edgiest take. every single thing he says is worthless, even if it ends up being right.
