  1. When Gaunce (not young but still just turned 25 weeks ago) is in you top four in points and goals, you know you’re in trouble.
  2. @Alflives  What’s it all about Alfie?

      @Alflives everything alright buddy?

  3. Yeah I seem to recall reading they even used vintage Sherman tanks up to the 7 days war in 1967! Granted they were modified but still, we're talking about WWII stuff (and they weren't even that great of a tank back then - they were effective because the US just mass produced a crapload of them). About as bad as the Canadian army using vintage Korean war stuff WAY, WAY past their due date.
  4. ...they only were able to survive in 1948 due to the efforts of the Soviet/Commie bloc nations (Czech.) in spite of an arms embargo placed on it by the US.
  5. Looks at power play....yeah that guy deserves a promotion.
  6. He might be still able to crack our top 6 on the Blueline.
  7. Three NHL rookies on the blueline (top six)? I don't see that happening at all unless the team is going all in on 'team tank'. Hughes will probably be the only one of the three.
  8. Empty threat. Where were they going to move to? Buttman already nixed the Seattle option (not that they had a NHL arena anyhow nor would their taxpayers be willing to pay for a new one back then....that's how they lost the Sonics). Owners make money via expansion fees not via relocation. Plus they would own an arena with no sports tenant if they relocated. They can't exactly move that.
  9. I don’t think the Habs were. No REAL Habsfan could ever cheer for the Bruins even if they played the Laffs,
  10. Always take anything Burke says with a grain of salt. (Re: relocation threat).
  11. I was obviously referring to before the season ended.
  12. Kesler was a real @__@+($ but you can't say he ever mailed it in. I'm fact his problem was he didn't know how to dial it down several notches during the regular season (which often left him out of gas come playoff time or getting there). Didn't know how to pace himself and his body paid the price.
  13. Well we don't know that with Demko Green should have him start the last bunch of games to get a better gauge of how far away he is.
  14. Hughes elite potential offensively isn’t going to be enough to replace the defensive abilities of Tanev & Edler. Unfortunately those two are just worn down from overuse (ideally 2nd pairing guys that get moved up simply because we had nobody better). Same will happen to guys like Stecher (who being smaller will get physically worn down faster). Unless the Russian comes back, there’s nobody but Woo in the pipeline really to replace those defensive minutes.
  15. Did Florida choose to honor NTC? I can’t remember (in a trade interest involving NTCs, the team acquiring such a player has the options to void that part of a contract).
  16. Imagine the Canucks without EP, Boeser, and Horvat. Those are the Whitecaps (and no Hughes type of player waiting in the wings). Owner(s) likely got rich pocketing the Davies money. Need to get the Aquaman to buy this team.
  17. Blech....choosing a winner in this is like being given the choice of ones OWN method of execution.
  18. Where is Alf?  I think he's missing because there's been a HUGE increase in the number of stray cats on our block!

      It's a little concerning for sure. Alf mentioned he wasn't in the best health.

      Hope the old chap is okay, and by okay I mean alive.

      yes, hope he is OK - I asked a couple games ago and someone said he was going through a rough patch - I didn't ask what that meant but certainly hope is is alright.

      @Bo fan  Appreciate the update!  Yes, I hope everything is alright with Alf.

  19. Wasn’t Tallon responsible for that RFA ‘Qualifying offer’ screwup when he was GM of the Hawks?
  20. And the Pens will likely move McCann when he is no longer “affordable”. Just like when they moved on from Sutter and then Bonino. No real reflection (in a negative way) of the players. Just a team having to deal with cap management.
  21. Ramsay Bolton gets a pass? (Disliked list). He made Joffrey look like a rank amateur in terms of being a “baddy”
