  1. Tunin' in from Nippon, with the ol' ugly game face on! Let's go boys, gotta' give 110%!!!
  2. Been running(road & trail) & riding home bike machine, past few months. Now temps in Osaka are hitting 35 - 37 Celsius daily(w/humidity) Exhaustion & endless skin rashes in uncomfy places..Aug is Hell. To all who try to keep training thru these hellish months..I raise a beer glass in salute.
  3. Should we be cheering for the desert Yotes? In unfortunate event we don't advance, I believe the Preds would be ranked ahead of us(based on W's; tied in pts). Therefore, it would mean moving a notch higher in draft-order, wouldn't it?
  4. A bipolar existence, where one swings between Clavell-nostalgia(completely fantasy world!) & 110% Canuck-fandom. No better way to survive the end-times...
  5. They locked me in Osaka Castle's dungeon like a common criminal. A priest(then a lovely interpreter) helped me with translation to survive. Ninjas tried to off me, but failed. Fortunately the Shogun was interested in my specialized knowledge, & we became drinkin' buds chap 2 tomorra'...
  6. Sweet.. lunch time in Japan. Day before I gotta get up at 3:30 am to cheer the boys
  7. Thanks, Theo..was(admittedly) a lil' ribbing/irony in my post. Can't help it, with so many haters lamenting various vets we've signed. Was thinking of dramatically reversing the Spooner buyout too, but some posters Might take me too seriously! :^)
  8. Thanks Deb. You'd have to imagine the league will allow something, if a team has a growing list of walkin' wounded. How can anyone enter PO rounds with no back-up? Maybe Josh Leivo can get back someday? Or wouldn't Baer be a hoot?
  9. If our injury list gets worse, can we add to our 30 guys with players that weren't(initially) admitted to the bubble? For example if Lind were allowed to come in, how long would he have to quarantine?
  10. Suter & Parise 7.5 mill AAV x eternity; Zuccarello 6 mill AAV x4 more yrs.. All 3 have NMC's(requiring ED protection)! Imagine if we had older fodder like this, taking 25% of a team's cap, for the next half-decade?! How crazy would HFhaters be going after JB, if this were the case? They've got 1 more yr of Fiala signed cheaply(3 mill). This guy's playing himself into the 8-9 mill range. Kaprizov will be due for a new contract too. They won't be able to pay their young talent. By 2022 this squad is in cap-Hell. There's way too much hand-wringing about Van's situation(1-2 yrs, of a fairly tight cap-shoehorn required), when it's viewed in relation with some other league rivals.
  11. I thought Hartman gave EP a dangerous upwards kick(near the b*lls/inner thigh) as he fell. Would say there's a sneaky lil' rat in that punk. Bet he wasn't even hurt.
  12. end 1st..at least broke the goose egg. If Markstrom don't wake up, we're in the Laf-sweepstakes. Signing for a bargain matey! Can't blame reffs. They gave us a fair shake that period.
  13. No yappin..tell Roussel to clam up(give them nuthin!) Hit & skate hard, but keep sticks down. Stoic, focused & determined is needed here.
  14. Misery?! Poor Jake is feelin like James Caan, tied up(by TG) in the care of the attentive, Kathy Bates! C'mon Tuna, everyone has a good book in them...
  15. A voice of reason. All in all, wanna see them gamble with some youth next yr(on the blueline)..sink or swim! Myers IS an expensive, dopey giraffe..but signing him is basically a fare thee well, to CT.
  16. Markstrom HAS to be the guy that we saw from Oct-Feb. That first goal yesterday was a back-breaker. We go nowhere, if he's not in top form. He bounces back & we win series? Sign the man, pronto. 5 yrs x 5.5 mill More games like yesterday, & we lose out? Offer him 4 yrs x 5.1 mill. Go with Demko & a FA, if he's not agreeable. ****************This series makes his contract simple*******************
  17. The 2 rulebooks goes back generations. Roger knew what he was doing..God Bless the man!
  18. edit: apologies for accidental bump..excess whiskey. Yesterday's snoozer was just too much.
  19. No time to check 25 pages..anyone mention?.. - Markstrom CAN'T give up that Fiala goal. Fall behind these dirtbags, & it's reff-sanctioned, WWF BS tactics, enabling a boring slog-fest. - The Myers penalty looked like horses**t to me. You set that standard early, let the F***ing Mild maul EP all night? The league is milking this protest/political angle. They'll move Heaven & Earth to see Mini advance.
  20. I liked the effort the first 2 periods. Poor reffing, as usual w/this guy. Tweak the lineup, & fight back.
