  1. All these generational talents are named "Connor" these days.

  2. Anyone else getting a really weird feeling about these latest two objects being shot down? Like at least with the balloon we knew what it was but they’re being awfully cagey about the details of these two

  3. C'mon Al, Eastern teams are loading up, sell more you hand puppet 

  4. McCann 11th in even-strength goal scoring, one spot ahead of Crosby. Thanks Benning.

      @Dazzle  Well he couldn't draft so there wasn't anything to develop.:lol:

      @Curmudgeon Says *alot* about the prospect development under Jim Benning.  Kevin Bieksa took like his mid-20s to even break into the NHL full-time (forget top 4).  Because...well the previous regime(s) actually took the time to develop players.

       

      Developing your prospect properly is just as important as drafting good prospects.

  7. Trouba ran like 3 Flames today :lol:

  8. Thinking back on it, Gillis really should have just given Willie Mitchell the two-year deal he wanted. Then we could have saved the assets from the Keith Ballard trade and used them elsewhere.

  9. I woke up this morning, feeling good about this trade and new direction. I did some research on this prospect. Things look good. 2 years he could be a 1/2 C. Time for a change, we are getting that.

  10. Dan Murphy is actually trying to compare the Horvat trade to the Linden trade to the Islanders when the Canucks got Bertuzzi & Mccabe. Totally ridiculous. Bertuzzi & Mccabe were already established players.

  11. babe pratt had native blood. cree, i know because he told me so. i think bear is cree too. there is still some of us around.

      I have these vague memories of his son Tracy who played for the Vancouver Canucks for a few seasons a long time ago.

  12. Remember when people thought Jason Dickinson and tyler motte was devolping into really good players? Jason has 3 points in his last 25 games and 0 points in his last 17 games.

     

    Motte has 2 points in his last 24 games and of course is injured.

  13. I mean, at least we have Garland and OEL and all that sweet sweet cap space.

     

    Right?

      Don't need a drafted defenseman if you can find an undrafted one in the form of Tanev.  That's one of the things Gillis left Benning.  At 24 years old at the time as well.  Sure he's no Hughes, but he's miles ahead of anything else Benning brought in his 7 or so years of high draft picks and dealt 1st rounders (McCann) for garbage like Gudbranson.

      Sad thing is, all those cap dumps we unloaded on Arizona, are no longer on their books (and they got a 1st round pick for their troubles).

  15. Stealth is our hero...guy's a genius.

    I thought I was banned for a minute (for real).

  16. Hope Aquilini does something useful for once and bribes Bedard with $10M to pull a Lindros :lol:

  17. When I'm off work I have no clue what day it is. Like seriously...is it Saturday? I don't even know.

  18. Av knew the truth

    #bring back av

  21. One of the best sports games I’ve ever seen.

  22. Hard to accept a great poster like @JM_got banned.  Sure hope he’s allowed back.  Doesn’t seem right he’s gone and other teams’ fans can come post here.
