  1. BEAUTIFUL! 1 more helper for QH & he breaks Bourque's record(3 asst games)
  2. These B*stards did the SAME thing to Roberto(Reilly Smith, I think) in Dec 2013 Torts season..I vividly recall
  3. +1,000for the greatest thread in CDC history! Lost to Zam Driver!!! bwahahahahah!!!!
  4. What might make you even more disappointed is I haven't even read the freeken story in the first place! Familiar with his family story. & I've dealt with alcoholism in a parent(nightmare indeed). But whether it's weed, whiskey or donuts, moderation is a mighty fine notion!
  5. You might be assuming/projecting there with the "entertainment" angle. I mostly see this pc time/various media as a form of collecting info. I think most people want information, in one form or another. Then we might congregate on sites like these(basically, a virtual Tim Ho's, in my eyes) to discuss one's interpretations, opinions, disdain, glee, etc... about said info. What info resonates, and/or is important to each one of us is a pretty subjective matter.
  6. Disagree..you, me & all the audience are basically entitled to our opinions. Gotta go HNIC is actually getting interesting.
  7. LOL..Mighty Fleas coughing up 30 shots, only halfway thru.

     

    Their D's like us :^)

      So they run the backup over?! Drama in Hogtown...

      Our D is far better than their group.  Muzzin is the only guy they have who is capable of playing any defense.

  8. Ya, pay this Frk'er, so he can buy a vowel, eh? Jolly good & carry on...
  9. The hwy of life?(consult w/Tom Cochrane, for this tired, maxed metaphor). & I see that as a decadal-thing. 20's is all dreaming about(perhaps most of us?) or obtaining the treasured, first class ride, with the top down. For pro players, they're rock stars on the Autobahn. Have some drinks, f*** the mirrors, just fast lane & give'er. Then your 30's & you might slow down..perhaps start to consider the scenery? Mull your mileage..whoops, notice a few guys have passed you! never used to happen... So this perspective is from one in his 50's..long ago took the off-ramp! I appreciate no one prob wants these retrospective-ramblings..but these stories(& the wash, spin, etc...cycle) just don't mean much to me anymore. Mostly for younger posters, I can only give my honest perspective(not deluded that it'll change the world, either!) Isn't truth to say what we see & think, irrespective of others' reactions? & one thing I really hold disdain for, is a corrupt, complicit, faux-leftish, lackey media, directing me on what folks I NEED to generate sympathy for. Sorry, consider myself a littttle too old/exp'd for that spoon-fed, lazy BS.
  10. Agreed. These kinda' threads are a convenient tee box for future trolls. Just work our buns off, 'til we get in, fulfilling the Miller deal. Unfortunate, but see Lost Vegans as the heavy div-favourite(league darling too).
  11. Young man excels at something Young man celebrated & paid big $$$ Young man F***s it up Young man 'fesses up/claiming newfound wisdom Wash, rinse, spin & repeat. Yeah, his unfortunate family-twist is compelling, but the media have milked that tale plenty. Sorry, too many serious troubles in a hard old world...
  12. Can sign avg UFA's(Fanta, Benn ilk) Rside: Myers, The Big Tree, Rafferty, Woo(I think CT & TS will move on) Left side is a little thin. Hope Rathbone can be all we hope.
  13. Our LW-side is a fairly weak point. Most of our depth there can't really come in & play a heavy game. As the season wears on, size & swagger becomes increasingly important. IF we had bodies like Tryamkin, MacEwen & this guy, feel our team would develop more of a pack-mentality(w/confidence). Also Bo, Jake & Miller..would make for a team that can play with skill, or wage war in PO trenches. Haven't been as impressed with BB's game in recent months(attributable to injuries?)..don't know? We would take less in such a deal, as only 1 player can contribute for the final 20 games. So is he THAT good? Hard to answer that easily. There's always some risk in these deals. But with ED approaching we have to decide(is it 7 fwds?) anyways. With Jake & Toffoli(later VP & KL), would say our RW-side would be pretty solid, short & long term. Guys like Motte, MacEwen & Bailey could contribute(depth lines) next season, as well. Lastly, this deal helps us the next couple seasons, cap-wise.
  14. The Desert Mutts are SOOOO dangerous here! Having acquired Hall, they're at(approx) 99.5% chance of landing LaFreniere :^(
  15. You should also factor in Minny(playing better lately, w/coaching change), at 60 gp & 65 pts. Fairly deep roster, nobody on IR. Flamers are key here. Need them to flicker. Quite a few tough matchups left for them: Lost Vegans x2 TBay x2 In Boston Be nice if they & the Desert Mutts can't get it going.
  16. I'm not selling this. But I'd like some input/perspective on the possibility. I heard Minny GM Guerin is being aggressive. No secret they like the hometown kid, as well heard they're desiring rightys(talk last summer, if memory serves). Van: Boeser Minny: Greenway(RFA this summer) & 2020 1st(if Minny picks top-10, becomes the Pittsburgh 2020 1st & their 2021 2nd) 6'6", 225 lbs. nice to have vs teams like Las Veg. But would this guy play hard for Van? A fair question, would say. - Don't know if Minny would risk it now, they're playing pretty well(might sneak in). Could revisit this at draft. - Would have to ensure Toffoli would sign, beforehand(perhaps 4 or 5 yrs, x 5 millish?) A bottom-6 like this would be nice, late-season Greenway - Gaudette - Motte Roussel - Beagle/BS - MacEwen Worst case? The bottom falls out(late-season), but we would still have TWO 1st's in a deep draft. Not the end of the world.
  17. WTF in the name of TinyThompson, is that freeken logo on the UGLY Canes jerseys?! Some uninspired, insane graphic artist is p*ssin himself over the results of bad hallucinogenics.
  18. & 2 helpers for Baer.(make himself more marketable?..oh pls!) CBJ have NINE guys out! They neeed a cheezyBaer
  19. MAN! The eastern Conf is tough biz

     

    CBJ has been workin their tails off, more battered than pinatas. 11 games over .500, yet don't think they'll make it in...(gp is high)

     

    IF they did, Torts deserves COTY

      good one

  20. Okay..been feeling this^ lately(admittedly), a tad. After Gent Jim declared this rough period a "black hole", it ramps up the feelings of intensity perhaps? I'd been content to previously view these yrs as a tough(but necessary) slog. Should we win it all, might request a word with his speech-writers before Jimbo hits the podium.
  21. If Van figures how to wriggle outa' this mess, the league prob sets up "an investigation". We've been drafting/trading so well they must be frustrated. Been trying to F*** this franchise over, quite some time.
  22. Got a bad feeling it's 2 teams I prob detest the most(BroonGoons & Lost Vegans) meeting in Final
  23. When viewing TO's deals(Marleau, fritter a 1st) & Kadri for this guy & Kerfoot, one can't possibly claim to know what this KD might consider wise or rational.
