  1. I have no issues with Lenarduzzi as a person. I just feel the team needs some new management. The team can't just be spinning it's wheels. I know there's only so many marquee MLS players we can pick up. It just seems the team isn't trying to improve itself. It's like we're in a tailspin and can't recover.
  2. I would be concerned if Bridgewater will even play again. ACL and kneecap that's career threatening isn't it?
  3. Damn you, you're making a pretty good argument. It's interesting the drop off in WR/RB/QB in the pools this year?
  4. I guess Colin K. was too controversial?
  5. So I get to pick first overall in our pool. The pressure. Peterson or Antonio Brown? Or Freeman? Or Cam Newton?
  6. Pop his cap! Pop his cap!

     

     

  7. He's probably be bound for Utica, but I would not be surprised if he makes the jump to the NHL sooner rather than later.
  8. I was happy that the Raiders moved back to Oakland. Going to Vegas will completely kill any support/sympathy I have of that club. California seems to have a real difficulty in keeping teams, which makes no sense given it's population. It's sad that the 49ers is the most stable franchise in California. (San Diego is having to vote on Measure C to raise taxes in hotels and $1.2 billion of taxpayer dollars to build a new stadium) If the Raiders go to Vegas, and the tax money doesn't go to the Chargers, where to the Chargers move to? A second team in LA? What's next? Jacksonville Jags move to Oakland or San Deigo?
  9. Guess what, that's fine on the track with little traffic around. Not so good when you're getting a pizza.
  10. Well you'd never lose to me in chess, I don't think 7-8 steps ahead. Best I'd get is a draw.
  11. Me too I think Gaunce may not be the top 6 forward we're looking for. But he can certainly do well working his way up the depth chart on the 4th line or better.
  12. Benning has been here since what? May 2014? A little over two years? So far, Virtanen, McCann have played games in a Canucks jersey, and McCann has been traded for Gudbranson. Boeser looks like a steal at #23 in 2015. and we've drafted Juolevi this year. I'd say our first round picks look a helluva a lot better under Benning than previous regimes.
  13. People who can't merge in traffic. Simple rule, the right of way is to be given, not taken. My aunt says there's two types of people in the world. A**holes and everyone else. Moral of the story. Try not to be an a**hole. People who the media have created as celebrities without any kind of hard work, merit, and make a living off of just being famous. Reality TV that's not sports. Slants on news and information, instead of just saying the facts and let people judge for themselves.
  14. Now I can't get Early One Morning out of my head.

  17. Great to see NFL football, even if it's pre-season.
  18. I had no idea the original "Equalizer", and Wicker Man, had such a great voice. And no, it's not the song by Etta James.
  19. The Hockey News 2015-16 predictions: http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/thns-2015-16-nhl-season-preview-stanley-cup-standings-and-award-predictions/ Ducks beat the Capitals in the Stanley Cup. October 7, 2015 Sportsnet: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sportsnet-nhl-insider-predictions-2015-16/ Only John Shannon and Scott Morrison predicted the Penguins in the east. No one predicted the Sharks. Average picks of Canadian teams making the playoffs 3. No one predicted 0. NESN: http://nesn.com/2015/10/nhl-playoff-stanley-cup-predictions-2015-16-capitals-finally-win-first-title/ Predicted the Caps winning. TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/30-bold-team-predictions-for-the-nhl-season-1.371841 Oilers in the playoffs, Kings will miss the playoffs, Once again predicted Ducks over Capitals. ALL WRONG. Just because you know hockey, and get paid for it, doesn't mean you're a Seer. By the way, remember Maggie the Monkey on TSN? 50% success rate over 6 years. And that's pretty much random chance. Back on topic I hope Laplante has a great season and turns out to be the gritty forward to add to our team, and augment our depth.

    I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
     
    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; 
    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
     
    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

      It was between that poem and Requiem by Robert Louis Stevenson to read  when we scattered my fathers ashes.....he was an old navy man and loved the ocean...

       

      Under the wide and starry sky
      Dig the grave and let me lie.
      Glad did I live and gladly die,
      And I laid me down with a will.

      This be the verse you grave for me;
      "Here he lies where he longed to be,
      Home is the sailor, home from sea,
      And the hunter home from the hill."

       

       

  21. Maybe the reason we haven't signed a large left winger is the 4th line Centre/LW job is Gaunce's to lose in training camp?
