  1. Whilst praying he's quick & agile as a marten. Ominous initials however...
  2. HolyGawd yes! The Holy Hand grenade(& maybe that killer rabbit on the blueline) are some of the assorted miracles we require tonight.
  3. How can anyone possibly explain the 1970's?! Watch Rocky Horror & try to imagine that coming out of any other decade - he was great in it too. RIP Meatloaf.
  4. There WAS a time I sorta admired positivity...
  5. In the situation I was imagining(granted early morn in Asia; tired, yet enjoying some Glenfiddich), the team is still rolling along, quite nicely. So one would think we would close up the market stall. But then an offer arrives that knocks everyone's socks off. Say the Rags go all-in for 2 runs with JT. After the deal we still play well, but PO's are questionable. Due to the scarcity of C's, another offer arrives(like including Lundell, for example) for Bo. Imagine we exited the season, with 2 more GREAT young C's, a fine Rhd prospect & a couple more picks to boot? - Suddenly, you're looking at yrs of running a roster with significant ELC-contributors(like 2018 - 2026ish, almost a decade) - Very talented(& exp'd), yet we'd still be in the youngest 20% bracket of NHL rosters - Contracts like Boeser's are no trouble at all - You might even deal a RW(as Vegas mentioned, up-thread) for 1 more fine, D-youth & who knows, maybe 1 of Bo or JT does win it all? Maybe they'd like to return here, as a vet UFA? Not impossible, as it seems this team has a friendly culture of committed team mates. If the above were to occur, it'd cap off a comprehensive, speedy rebuild(on steroids). Where you are(in the mid 2020's) is likely miles ahead of where you woulda' been, otherwise.
  6. Whoopsadaisy..meant to stash this in the Proposals Section. Mods, if y'please...
  7. Short & sweet. Team's playing great now, but cap troubles will soon rear it's ugly head. JT Miller should get a shot at the silver. Should he go, we step back(but also get younger, & likely deeper in youth). The Question: Who's another 4-5 mill AAV we should also unload, if the price is right? Right now I'd prob say Bo. Imagine the stash of youth we could add, dealing these two? Then we'd build around QH, TD, EP, BB & Pod-monster. It's a high-octane, REVAMP, L & G...
  8. As to the Habs dropping like a stone: they might play/feign like this is spontaneous combustion, but many saw it coming. It was a nice, determined & unexpected 2021 run, but there's a 5 yr rebuild here, that they simply have to endure.
  9. Appears they have a number of players returning from injury. The last thing they need is to start going on a run now - would expect this new GM to start shipping out vets, pdq Meanwhile, the east has a Grand Canyon gap between the 8 haves & nots.. lousy market there. Expect Mtl to send players to Edm, Winn or Cal teams, perhaps?
  10. Just caught the last 15 mins..GREAT Win! Gotta emphasize again, JB set us up with pretty nice fwd depth this season. Bo & Garland out, then names like Bailey, Lockwood, Petan, etc...could be subbed, if necessary. Should we ever get fully healthy(touch wood), be interesting to see what they do(trade, waivers?) It's the perfect season to have ample, cheap depth.
  11. It's funny, bc I've also been pondering a Boeser & Poolman(or Ham?) to the Habs for wks now. returns: Anderson & Edmundson. (size, skating & toughness) Also contemplated Drouin(+ maybe a 2nd?) & Edmundson, but it's likely risky. I think we need a big, exp'd Lhd more than the Rh side Wouldn't be surprised if the Habs quickly flipped Boeser afterwards. They'd prob get a far greater return than the fwd they dealt us. In this way, they'd clear lots of cap from books, while adding picks/youth
  12. Falling to the Deserted-Yotes, the tank is so real. Last OA, & 3 pts clear.
  13. Hard to believe this Habs outfit ousted the Lost Vegans mere months ago. Had to kill the volume. This lame, ca$h-grab league is killing hockey itself. edit: Desert Mutts up by 2 g in the mid-season, tank-a-thon(ohh wait, a challenge?)
  14. Didn't this guy also take a ponzi-BATH, via some dubious financial-chicanery?! Prob still pi$$ed at Van city for MK dealing him quicker than a bent Opee Chee card, in them tragic late 90's. Despite his on-ice talent, never seemed to deliver in the crunch. Not a dude I'd want swinging deals with the 31 other vultures.
  15. Was gettin' 40 winks at the slumber lodge - so missed this tilt. Just saw the 2nd p & a smidge of da turd..not too shabby. Should EP40 rediscover his top form, we're a nasty beast.
  16. Mahn, these guys have been a drag to watch lately. Is the league reverting to another(over-coached) dead-puck era?! Or is it just us? Punt! Decline all penalties! F*** it!!! edit: & I awoke at 4 am to watch this tripe?!
  17. Might be tumbling into SELL-status. It's a shame the offense is drying up - could well damage return in many potential deals.
  18. Sung in a 70's Paul Simon-vibe... Miami Vice just took that Kodak-gnome(doin 'dem things like yer in yer home) Police just took that Kodak gnome away... Yeah! (jazzy outro & fade)
  19. Nostalgic for Guy, they were hoping he'd shine & they could call him, Cau-le-Flower! :^)
  20. HOEEEE-LEEEE Jumpin' the HABS are in last place?! Whoa.. #32 OA after 35 gp This thread is aging like good scotch!
  21. Yeah, couldn't reply Jimmy, as I was just setting off for a morning ride. I never paid too much attn to the 'kinky' stuff goin on in these parts. Was just too stunned at the gorgeous babes an avg bloke(like yers truly) could date/hook up with, my first yr here. I don't really think it's still THAT amazing - times have changed, & it's half a lifetime back. But whatever a guy & gal gets down to - ferGawdsakes get a private room & some principles, eh?!
