      The art of typing is lost on a lot of people.

      I type around 60, but make so many mistakes (including my hands typing different words than what my brain was thinking) that I might as well have a 10 WPM speed. :P

      Cooke was only a "goof" (re: really questionable hits) until *AFTER* he left the Canucks (not saying he was a boy scout but he really ramped it up in the Brad Marchand type of behavior when he took off our jersey).

      Gotta get RW Claude Lemieux in there for the way he rearranged Kris Draper's face on the board dasher.

  3. Lawyer in me has come up with a new idea to weaponize cap space. If team X wants to sign, say, Panarin for a cap hit of 8m whilst Panarin still gets paid 12m AAV, team X can agree with team Y to sign Panarin at 12m AAV, then trade him immediately upon signing whilst retaining 4m, for some form of consideration. Technically legal. But way too ballsy.

      the issue will be cap circumvention

      it is not a friend of bettman

      if he views a transaction as being framed to accomplish cap circumvention

      he'll bring out the big guns and luongo the teams

      LL I heard the same crap about Gretzky the entire time he played. 

      He has 1138 points, in 881 games and still going. 

      5 100+ point seasons

      Over a point a game in the last 4 seasons.

      2 Art Ross

      2 Conn Smythe Trophies

      2 Hart Trophies

      2 Rocket Richard Trophies.

      3 Stanley Cups

      2 Olympic Golds

       

      I wish more Canadian players whined like that.

      He's the captain, it's his job to whine. But honestly, he's toned it down for the past what, seven years now?

      I wasn't criticizing the Cros, just a little poke while pointing out he has big pull with the refs. He's the best player of the 2000's.

      Smart dude but unremarkable at best. Feeds off of angering people with his comments to stay in the media and would not be any more relevant than your average university professor if he didn't.

      He's got a lot of interesting things to say and he knows his stuff when it comes to psychology. He tends to ramble on about theories and conjecture when it comes to philosophy and I don't often agree with his philosophy, but I still find him very interesting to listen to anyways. I also enjoy his political opinions most often as well.

    4. Bissurnette

      Bissurnette

      He's incredibly smart and makes a lot of good points often in his debate. I actually only started becoming familiar with his work recently so it's interesting seeing his name pop up on CDC. I'm on the same wavelength on a lot of what he has to say but the radical leftists are always on a witch hunt for anyone who doesn't agree with them.

    Nylander. 2 assists in 7 games. 10.27m  cap hit. Leivo. 4 goals 1 assist in 9 games. $925k.

      I still can’t believe Wee Willie got those dollars.  He’s getting more than a lot of really honest hockey players, like Bo!  What the hell are Matthews and Marner going to get?  14 million?  They’re both twice as good as Willie Boy.

      People though Virtanen had nothing to prove in the OHL either but maybe it would have been better for him to play another year. For his offensive confidence and with knowledge of what to work on on an OHL playing schedule if nothing else.

      I don't see the point of trading Tanev if we get Dahlin tbh. He'd be an ideal partner for Dahlin...

      Not sure if Aho does that well in the Western conference. Not sure if 2 1sts, 2nd and a 3rd are worth giving up. Lots of question marks in this trade.

      i think he's decent, sucks that we traded him only for a 3rd thats what i was mainly upset about, maybe there was a locker room issue i have no idea, but could of done better than a 3rd, only reason we got him was cause vegas was clearing room for Petro, gave up on him way too soon.

    4. Devron

      Devron

      Pretty easy to hardball though when we traded a 3rd rounder only a year prior. NTC obviously throwing a wrench in things. I do think he’s a solid top 4 option under the right environment. He really did overachieve in Vegas though

      having a sex partner addicted to drugs and alcohol, would be the worst unless she owned a beer wagon.

    4. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      I think they're all bad. Alcohol is legal, but the other ones are not. Legally speaking, you'll be in trouble if you get caught doing either one or both.

       

      That being said, excessive alcohol is just as (if not more) destructive to the normal lifestyle of a person.

      I have the opinion that drugs should be decriminalized, but heavily regulated. Criminalizing it is not fixing the problem. It's actually making it worse (the drug problem). It's not like people are gonna throw their hands up in the air and say "oh well, it's illegal. Guess I can't do blow."
