  1. Can't really dislike a player who did this to the rat:
  2. Nope, you got the story wrong. Fedor tried the fighting technique of banging his head against Juice's fist. Didn't Kevin go the University route & as a result was a couple years older?
  3. Think the issue was that Bieksa was dominating and or playing a major role on the Moose in his rather short stay in the AHL. Woo hasn't even been able to get into the lineup on a regular basis as a D in Abby. Sure it's way too early to be writing him off but he clearly has to be able to show noticeable improvement at the AHL soon.
  4. ahhhh....thanks! Random trivia: Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Tom Glavine was actually also drafted by the Los Angeles Kings! (69th overall!). (edit: I cheated & had to look that one up lol)
  5. Wasn't Weber thinking about baseball possibly as a career option before he got drafted? My memory ain't that great going THAT far back lol, did that effect where he was drafted? Or am I mixing him up with another player?
  6. No kidding. We're not talking about taking a swing in the first or second round. It was the fifth round! (not much valued more than a throwaway pick). Brendan played for the Vancouver Giants; you could take a freaking transit bus to the game to scout him.
  7. For the scout that Jim Benning gave credit for scouting Elias Pettersson, I'm guessing that scout was never around Vancouver in 2010 when Brendan Gallagher was drafted. Yes, we had no picks in the first 3 rounds in that year's draft but Gallagher was drafted in the *FIFTH* round (a few selections *AFTER* our pick in that round).
  8. meh, I still didn't like that Hansen got suspended for that hit on Hossa (where the Shanapuke gave the lame excuse that Hansen was suspended because Hossa got injured; rather than suspended for the kind of hit (in my opinion)). And this was like about a decade ago.
  9. To be fair, Brendan Gaunce just signed a two year NHL deal (forget PTO) with the Blue Jackets a few months ago. *Neither* player though should be anywhere near the Canucks roster.
  10. Still way too much for a winger of that calibre but at least it mitigates the damage. But little point in dwelling on what's been done & we can just hope he can at least reach that level of performance.
  11. Never forget Leaf fans wanted the Bruins to win in the Finals (ironic since they've lost to that team so many times..in the first round ..in the post-season since) Real Habs fans would never cheer for the Bruins so even if it was cheering for us by default, never forget that.
  12. Han was the main villain in Enter the Dragon. But Jim Kelly wasn't impressed:
  13. I actually went to high school with one of those kid actors on the show.
  14. lol...you remember the days of using "rabbit ears" to try & improve the reception of the less than half of dozen channels you could get? I do.
  15. Warhippy is not amused.. (yes I know there is no concrete evidence Queen Victoria actually said that quote that is often attributed to her)
  16. Camille was the player to be named later . That or a cap dump.
  17. His mother was well liked. Her son Chuckie, not remotely as much.
