  1. These slags & arrows at Hoffman/his sig-other are likely justified, but I'll admit, a little doubt is seeping in. Anyone see that Cats/Snarks tilt last season, where Hoffman challenged EK, but he declined? Couldn't help wondering if there's more to this tale, & things became distorted somewhat in the modern, 24/7 fishbowl of a struggling Cdn market(& wh*ring press)? At the day's end, Melnyk/Dorion scorched the earth, & this drama was scattered like falling Maple leaves in Springtime. So who was the big loser in the sprawling, epic tale? Why, none other than Doug Wilson, of course!
  2. Just 9 words... WAR IS OVER If you want it Happy Christmas
  3. Our argumentative ways will be the death of us all!
  4. Appears the bloke is a jersey-collector..expensive hobby.
  5. Everyone downs a Bailey's coffee in the dude's honour! Go get'em, kiddo.
  6. Subjective matter. Plenty of stupidity has been displayed in how they're run the past few decades. This shyt* league has been mostly rigged for US interests, with Cdn fans being taken to the cleaners. Inevitably as something grows too large, it'll eventually become corrupted. Further to my prev post, would also prefer a div 1 & 2 scenario(something similar to intl soccer). I'd cap the max number of teams the top leagues would maintain. ****LASTLY*** THIS^ is simply my preference. Not under any illusion they'll ever be adjusting their corrupted MO.
  7. If they were to totally restructure leagues, due to viruses & economics, I'd prefer they emphasize the international angle. Cdn Div: 8-10 teams US Div: same Euro & Russia: perhaps 12-14 teams? Maybe ensure all teams are at least 50% composed with players of their respective countries. Grow a little Canada Cup vibe, like old times perhaps? Teams cross Atlantic, staying 2 or 3 wks to play all opponents..both ways. Possibly once or twice a yr. Be cool seeing the SC Champ having claim to intl supremacy.
  8. Smacks of financial-desperation. League is losing all sense of tradition. There'll come a day where you're watching a game(sound is down..maybe a bar?) & you'll realize you've been cheering on a hated opponent for almost a period!
  9. I like Green as a coach, & think he's good for our rebuilt group. That said, he'd best adjust, progress & evolve on the same timeline/learning-curve, we fans are hoping occurs with our nascent youngins'. Have a sliiiight grievance (ORLY?) with how he handled our roster, vs the Lost Vegans, but have adequately tossed my (2 cents worth) opinion into that discussion :^)
  10. 2 expansion drafts at the front/back of our rebuild! Also been happily waving a white '82 towel over this for some time now. It's timed almost perfectly. Stretched out over a longish period, the Vegans can take Sbisa & a 3rd..& we'll happily take Schmidt off their hands.
  11. More proof that the dullards at Forbes know the price$ of everything, yet the value of nada! Tell us what we're worth @apollo! Gotta' be at least 2 bill, eh? & the value of our '82, '94 & 2011 memories?..You best ask Mastercard that question.
  12. Kid's got rock star hair..gotta be a high ceiling! :^) (loading up with righty's is good too)
  13. Maaaan Juice is sharp on his toes. That interview with the clueless reporter is the best(EVER) in puck history, & best that'll ever be. Spontaneous combustion!
  14. Bergevin got hosed on the Drouin/Serg swap. But the Domi/Gal Weber/Subban Suzuki(& more stuff)/MaxPacc... are making him look pretty shrewd. Finally Habs are back on the sweet trade-cycle, like back in the 70's & 80's. Lost Vegans were league-gifted a warehouse full of sweet futures, & they're frittered so much of it away. Nice to see.
  15. TD & Holtby..if they maintained their scintillating PO numbers, we'd win like 8-straight Cups!
  16. Thanks for the memories, MD. There were some beauts. Being away, it's hard for me to accurately gauge this mask advocating/imploring/demanding spectrum..so Gawd knows? Do get the feeling it's an ostensible thing..perhaps other reason(s)? Whatever.. bet the haterz at some other site will reckon this means no Van Cup 'til 2200! Guess it's a slow news month.
  17. Within the overall context of C4(that Crazy Covid Cap-Crunch!) it seems inevitable many teams would/will lose valuable assets. We're not exempt. It's interesting to date back a yr & a half, observing significant assets we've lost & gained. Going forward, we've obviously shifted focus on younger contributors(under 25; many still prospects), as opposed to the 'rickety' vets, oft-injured, who helped us bridge over some lean seasons. Gains: JT Miller, Nate Schmidt, Brayden Holtby, an impressive PO-run(best of all Cdn squads) Losses: a 1st r pick, Toffoli(or 2nd & good prospect), Jacob, Tanev How many franchises have gained more than they've lost(past yr or two)? Teams like CBJ, Avs & Canes come to mind..but they'll have their own cap-stresses soon. Overall, I'd say we've fared pretty darn nicely. Optimistic for the long haul.
  18. The roadta'Hell is PAVed with NiCe InTeNtIoNs!!!
  19. Thanks, but heading out to the mtns this morn. Seen enough back in spring 2011. I've witnessed what the league/reffs/joke-of-a-'media'(sic) does to strong Cdn contenders. I simply invest less & less time in this elaborate sham. Voice my opinion, as these boards exist..but it's no problem if anyone(even everyone!) disagrees. As someone who's loved ice hockey since the 70's, feel motivated to comment on what I've observed.
  20. We'll prob never see a Cdn city celebrate a Cup win ever again. You've got a greasy CBA in a league that's run on shady lawyer-shenanigans. League/networks preference is championships only for that morally bankrupt place where all them lawyers come from. I only watch Van games..this league has pushed this fan away. It's disappointing that everything that was fun(somewhat pure) from days of old, gets corrupted & rigged with shoddy rules of tunneling termite-lawyers, & ZERO consideration/appreciation for that which is authentic. Think I'll listen to Dylan's "Everything Is Broken", one more time...
  21. This is a scam. Bast*rd POS played in the bubble! NY area market WILL get a free pass. Typical
  22. I asked this in another thread(or 2 , or 3!!!) but is the Boychuk-scam another example of animal farm rules in this rigged CASINO-league?!
