  1. On rinks...we call the Zoo.....<Scorpions guitar solo>
  2. He would need at least one season as a backup to see how he handles the NHL. He's played 5 NHL games. The reason people are saying 60+ games, is that's a typical workload for a starting goalie. He had a great tourney. But you are jumping the gun there.
  3. Any Flat Earther's ever give you grief over that?
  4. Hockey is such an expensive sport. It's no surprise we aren't new goalie prospects. I've always felt we should have a Scholastic Hockey Program for Boys and Girls. (Of course we should try to improve our schools, and education in general.) Buy any surplus hockey equipment from the previous year. Have fund raising to get equipment for the rest of schools. Have a tiered system. Grades 7-8. No contact, nothing but skills, and skating training, Bi-weekly exhibition games, with emphasis on players learning all aspects of the sport. Grades 9-10, Introduce contact, how to take hits, defend from hits, prepare for hits. Further skills training like passing, systems, shooting, and power skating, goaltending. Weekly games. Grades 11-12 Junior level of training. Advanced skating, shooting, goaltending. Twice weekly games. Invite college, university, and NHL teams to scout games. This would give hockey a new pipeline of players. Allow kids that may not have considered playing hockey a chance to try it out. And maybe even get a chance to succeed. At first it probably won't be as good as lower levels of junior hockey. But give it time and support. There might be players that were missed in Junior, and have a chance to carry on with hockey. Even if it's just to get a scholarship at a College or University. I know crazy thought right?
  5. It's Toronto. So Vancouver will forfeit a 1st round pick to them.
  6. What void does he fill? We need a cheap centre. Or reliable defenceman. He's not the tough guy he once was. He's been almost non-existent in the playoffs the past 5 years. Hard pass. If we could afford it. I'd rather sign all three Staal brothers. At least there's 2 centres and a defenceman.
  7. I never liked Ron from the beginning. It was like he was hired to try to keep Cherry in check, and on track. And got too lazy to do that. I'm more curious why people support him? His stories are not really amusing. He offers no insight. His attempts at humour are worse than the worst Dad joke you've ever heard. The sooner he retires the better.
  8. Nate Schmidt seems to be ok with Winnipeg. Maybe the Loons in the lake make him feel at home. Wooooooop!
  9. Just stay engaged on the ice as well. Lots of happiness.
  10. Musk is worrying me. He's starting to turn in Blofeld. Now Ford is going to be selling adapters in 2024 so they can use Tesla Supercharger (I'm assuming the Tesla software app too).
