  1. Seems like he's 'done like dinner'. All teams hit a down cycle eventually. Even the Pats.
  2. Could be worse. Could in a country where whistleblowers have a habit of falling out of windows for ‘mysterious reasons’.
  3. Even during the "free wheeling/WCE days", *we* had a premier shutdown guy (Ohlund) on the blueline. Laffs don't have *any* defenseman that remotely approaches his level at the defensive side of things.
  4. I doubt Markstrom is suddenly going to forget how to play hockey just because his coach isn’t Ian Clark anymore. Dude isn’t 18 years old. He’ll be hurt more by the aging D in front of him (specifically talking about Giordano (sp?).
  5. Nilsson is going on LITR immediately so insurance covers his actual cash outlay. That’s why he had more “value” than LE at this particular time.
  6. Shows you just how deep that team was. Bolts lose a first line forward (who can play center or wing) to us and they STILL win the cup the first season without him.
  7. I believe in heaven & hell if for no other reason there *HAS* to be a place in the afterlife for despicable pieces of **** like Rubio........
  8. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-fred-piccolo-twitter-account-20201224-yw63wxtmljci5a4hptfrtnmf3q-story.html Typical feelings of the GOP in Florida. Best comment to that twit’s comment in Twitter...”why not just go to any funeral and yell...why are you all losers sad about the dead guy, the rest of us are still alive”. But you can be sure Freddie was one of the first to get the vaccine ahead of the elderly or front line medical personnel.
  9. My memory might be off but it seems the Hawks goaltending was never THAT good. The best shutdown pairing in the league tended to make the goalie look better than he was. Once the wheels started to fall off Seabrook, it was goodnight Hawks.
  10. Happy Festivus! I can’t remember...which comes first....tests of strength or airing of grievances?
  11. Better to be assigned as an assistant coach to learn the ropes vs the time the Canucks made Stan Smyl the head coach (even if it was the minor leagues-AHL). What a disaster that was.
  12. Just try to make sure you use the exact identical information on the application. I’m only speculating but I assume those getting asked for further documentation like bank statements, etc. gave incorrect information on their net income, used their middle name, different address, etc., But again, just speculation on my part.
  13. Markus Näslund did but he already had a good job lined up in Sweden. Given the state of the world economy, I seriously doubt that's an option for LE or Baer.
  14. You don't think the league wouldn't punish the Canucks for circumventing the cap so blatantly? We followed the flippin' rules the last time with Luongo *AND* got the contract approved by the league. Then it was alleged some former ex-NHL GM whispered in the ears of Bettman and we got penalized for a contract they gave the 'ok' on.
  15. Guy couldn’t even get a single point by accident despite seeing some minutes in the top six in the postseason . While he still has legit NHL defensive ability, his offensive game is just plain offensive.
  16. There’s a reason why many used to call it the Vancouver Suckers Exchange. I too learned the motto “You’re either a shark or a sucker” the hard way. But isn’t that life though? Dealing with whatever adversity that comes your way? (Though in my case it was more like greed taking over common sense).
  17. Just got an email this morning from the govt stating my application has been approved & that payment should be received in five business days.
  18. What have you got against eating at a Pho's?
  19. Just want to add....5 business days after they approve one's application (I'm assuming the straightforward online applications won't take *too long* to process).
  20. Always a fan of Dolly Parton's.......music.
