  1. Haven't followed the GDT today..don't know the gen consensus, but gotta say, they're putting out a nice effort tonite(so far). With Leivo hurt, might Baertschi get another shot?
  2. No penalty after that hit on Leivo? Here we go again... Btw, their usual pattern, giving us lots of PP's in season 1st half. They pad the overall numbers. In the 2nd half(the biggest games), it'll take decapitation to get a 2 min minor. Lots of injuries will result.
  3. You WIN at least 4 games of the next 6(taking us to 41 gp..mid-season), or you start selling. I'd like to see Tanev dealt quickly, before he gets hurt. - With Tree, Rafferty & Woo, there's potential at RhD to cover his loss next fall - Tanev's subtraction should help us obtain 1 more high 1st(I mean we should fall down standings more..rendering a higher pick) - He's been a great soldier(brave). If a contender like TBay could utilize his D-prowess, then why not? CT deserves a solid shot at glory.
  4. I wonder if anyone will/or has already(?) suggested recalling Baer again? Horvat has played so poorly of late, you have to consider if it could help?
  5. I'd hang in with JB, at least until the end of the 2020-21 sched. Could they promote Brackett, around then? Don't know his background..could he handle the gig? Rather they not lose the guy to another org. Perhaps shift JB to another capacity. It doesn't have to be a nasty drama.
  6. I recall(& hate the recollection) lengthy 5-on-3's when we tried to fight back w/Torts' team, especially in Calif, Jan 2014(was it bxb games?) The two rulebooks became clear as day.
  7. Stay positive CDC'ers, & support the boys! This team will be AWESOME in a yr or two. Patience is the key. & I'm off to take on the day(yes sun rises tomorrow..it's confirmed). Enjoy the game, you folkers...
  8. A philosopher told me that unrequited passion leads to conditional love.
  9. Lit some incense at his puck shrine for gifting us Hockey Gaud...
  10. The LEAGUE GIFTED the Lost Vegan Rights that F***ing immediate competitor. So we have to tap dance to that freeken' pace? Sorry Nucker..it takes time to build a sustainable competitor. lost lotto draws penalties for cap recapture(no allergic 'freebie' LTIRs) There are more examples, but this league IS a rigged casino. Not often an honest person makes $$$ in a rigged casino. They're trying..but it'll take time & patience. Just saw you acknowledge this reality, down this page. I'd guess most fans will accept we need to do this right.(which requires time, of course)
  11. Agreed, it's a fool's fantasy to put too much stock in early season performance. This is about when the real contenders start upping their game. But I do like these new lines. Hope Jake plays his heart out, & really gets rolling.
  12. Always had a thing for Holly, of 'dem Barker's beauties. Life in the 70's/early 80's seemed a perpetual gameshow. Anywho..let's try them lines & get rollin', ala Cheech & Chong. GCG!
  13. Another thread(today) a poster listed our middlish cast of depth fwds, which totaled(? I think) 30-40 mill of our cap hit. Almost all these placeholders are off the books in a yr or two. Long as JB doesn't replace them with more dreck..folx should just wait it out. Our depth-bums are providing bodies so we don't have to rush a nice, deep stash of youth. We all just need patience to bide a bit more time. Look how many teams have huge, longgggggggggggg contracts committed to aging stars, some already significantly fading. Dallas, SJ, Habs, Cats, Preds, et al..so many teams have $ commitments close to a decade remaining. Our current cap-crunch will simply force Mgt to be more disciplined(spending, building) in the short term, utilizing each ELC, when they're ready to push out the aging depth-stiffs.
  14. Last tilt vs Ottawa apparently Anderson was hurt fighting Boroweicki. Get the feeling he might be too similar to Ferland(unfortunately).
  15. Too much hand wringing & navel gazing has filtered into this thread. Win or lose this yr..it's W/W, afaic That was the original message. People want to whine & gripe..why don't they start a special thread for THAT wonderful solution?!
  16. Sign Markstrom to 4 or 5 yrs(around 5 mill-ish). He's earned it. How can people bank on TD with all his concussions? Stupid gamble at this point. So you lose one of them at ED?..Fine, MD should be ripe to backup, by then.
  17. The rigged deck league suddenly feeling sharp pangs of conscience? How uplifting.
  18. It can help BOTH US markets(on diff timelines)..it doesn't matter, really. Sad thing is, with how they run things it'll be almost impossible to ever see a Cdn champion again. The league is a rigged, F***ing casino, & our game has been pilfered.
