  1. Liked Bob Mac..seemed to have integrity. Enjoyed his Hockey News work, back in the 80's Apparently this O-Dog(that his name?!) ***hole is taking his spot(as an 'insider'), from next Jan? The guy straight-up said he doesn't like Vancouver(on-air). Twit should've been fired, way back. At least KB3 seems to have our journalistic-angle covered.. & with style. We all witnessed back in 2011, 12, 13 etc..how negative press can dog-pile on a team in this 24/7 age.
  2. Man I'd LOOOOOVE it if this dude turned into the most VIP outa' last yr's rigged draft! Just to again say to the NHL: "Sorry, your petty cheating/games at the lotto can't upset our destined prospect-perfection!"
  3. Have you considered Robertson with a personal nutritionist AND trainer?
  4. After gifting Zib, hope Dorion would laugh at these ideas.
  5. He gets another 15 MILL(Bonus!) for just lying around(end-summer) by the pool. So 30 mill out of a 65 million $ contract has been paid out in 14 mos. Who would like a nearly 11 mill AAV, yet only paying 7 mill per yr? Bet Melnyk would. Ott: Colin White, NYI 2020 1st(maybe 22 OA?), & Brannstrom Ottawa has endless cap space. TO has none. This deal would prob make sense.
  6. All their petty rigging & theatrics. Tell them it's useless, & that Van STILL nabbed the top talent in 2017 & 2018..(2015 looks pretty close too!)
  7. ^If they're gonna ponder, what mighta' been...they may's well take their tired narrative all the way back to about 1979, 1980(I don't use 1967, cos the Fleas had some exciting teams/players in the late 70's). Their fan-abuse & mismanagement seem to stem from about that time-period. Ballard was Melnyk on steroids.
  8. After beating Mini..it's gambling with house $ from here on out.
  9. It's frustrating Rekker. The avg poster on an everyday hockey site wouldn't F*** it up to their degree. With all their $$$$ all they had to do was weaponize cap space/economic clout! Just keep building gradually, & paying youth accordingly. Accumulate excess assets, & bundle together to flip(some). I like to see Cdn teams do well. Ontario fans have sure paid the freight for this dishonest league. But after their overt tanking & signs of growth, their fanbase becomes irrationally cocky. After the Burke-fiasco, actually felt bad for them. Wouldn't last long, as they all seemed carried away with an upsurge. They were 80% there FerGawdsakes! After that Wash series(when they played excellent) they simply got impatient! The Tavares signing was nouveau riche getting taken to the cleaners on bad property deals. Then a billion dollar entity putting a dumb dork like Dubas in charge?! It's really hard to believe. & so the cycle goes. Perhaps in 12-16 mos we'll start feeling bad for them again?!
  10. They should be bold & trade a few of these soft fwds. Western Conf..dealt far away. Step 1- Gas Dubas & Scammy-plan 2- Use economic clout. Like covering Marner's huge bonus payout. Then ship him to Winterpeg for an Ehlers pkg(Niku or Heinola, 2021 1st) 3- Nylander to Avs or Minny for young D 4- Maybe even the aforementioned AM deal to 'yotes 5- Let Mr PJ's lead a group of peach fuzzed kids. Wanna lead eh? He'll earn them big bucks. Basically what the twins had to do in Van(2014-18), is what he gets here. Start over. Focus resources on accumulating D. They take longer to grow/fit together. They did everything back-*sswards. A team like the Canes would provide a decent model to follow. That squad they gift-wrapped a high 2020 pick to.
  11. It ain't really news either. Plenty of us posters slagged how the Laffs were built. Nov 2018 I started a trade thread that they should trade AM to StLoo(who'd win the Cup) Then last Oct(Save The Laffs Please) posted that they'd miss PO's & fall apart. It's all been borne out. You just don't build a hockey team like this. Now Shanny(plan) looks like a carnival barker's snake oil!
  12. Fine, provided you(or any posters) acknowledge Ott is in a farrr better position going forward. Dubas destroyed a team..that simple.
  13. OTT : 5th OA TML: Marner edit:tweaked this proposal a bit. Saw the idea on HF, & it seems interesting...
  14. WOOO-Hooo! Tonite PJ Tavares will button up his colours..jump Highhh over that fluffy, lumpy mattress, but then hit the bed post! :^)
  15. YES, indeeed! Called this way back in Oct. Fleas are a poorly constructed Jenga Tower. Dubas should hit the bricks. They've prob gifted a nice(early teens) pick to the dreaded Canes. The bad karma goes all the way back when their young punks ran Daniel Sedin. Scorch the earth & ShanaPLAN, Maple Fleas!
  16. Might Pietrangelo be distracted by his incoming UFA status? Their GM shat the bed taking on that Faulk Cane deal(& committing an excessive cap hit). Maybe AP doesn't wanna sacrifice his bod at this particular juncture? He's possibly moving in weeks. I'll always appreciate the Blues beating the hated, diabolical Beantowners. But would guess they're not as hungry, given all they've been through(past 19, 20 mos), & achieved.
  17. Van in 6! edit: Don't mind it playing out this way. Other series would've been a fair number of distractions: owner hatred; Benn bros thing; facing that freaking *ss Perry, etc...
