That is a very good-looking uni. Fallers, log drivers, boom men, fishermen were my heroes when I was a kid; real people, real strong men. Love the Johnny Canuck logo.

What is Alec, for five hundred?

Ok, black without the skate but keeping the aggressive orange and yellow too. I always liked the blue and green, but I believe the sports psychologist/designer of the black, orange, yellow (was it?) was onto something. We have to (imo) keep adding to the speed and talent, but also to the sandpaper, the willingness to drop 'em, and team attacking like bees or wasps. Bring on the nasty and hit everybody, make 'em take retaliatory penalties, etc. Aside: My favorite trout lure is a Black Beauty with the Canuck colours (black, orange, yellow, tiny brass flasher by Mepp's, I think). I didn't use it all the time, but if nothing else was working, I'd pull it out and usually got a trout right away. The theory behind that lure was that it did not attempt to look like food; it was built to annoy fish and they strike it in anger. Trout in the pan! Guinness in the can. What's not to like?

Rather and Bur2 because Quinn + Bear; they've been adequate at least. (Is Bur2 = Bert -u- zzi?) Old dude imagines bringing back Bert and Kevin in their prime to add to this team; has to clean drool up from desk. Imagine Bertuzzi, Pettersson, and Podkolzin come'n atcha with Bieksa and Q behind them. Oh well, back to work. Wait, I'm retired! So, Boeser is probably not quite ready. If it is his hand/wrist again, I hope he's been skating his Beauty League Ass off! I like Boeser but if he can't get up to speed, he becomes very limited.

Yeah, I thought, after so many previous tries, that he had put it all together this time; played really well imo. He's always had the speed, but now he's using it to deliver a good defensive game too. I imagine its a numbers game; first with Quinn returning and Bear arriving, then waiver-eligibility, and bonuses considerations and cap overages. The only thing I saw that didn't go as well as it could have was his shot attempt after working it all the way down the ice. Work so hard, for so many years, and there you are, finally, mano a mano ... and you plant it softly into his chest. You could just see him cursing himself on the bench; if he had buried that, or made a wee deke.. he'd still be sent down tho imo. We are getting there v/v depth and prospect pipeline; it's a long road, but we're on it, and making progress. We'll see Breezer back I would think; and he will be valuable, leading up to, and in the playoffs, for Abby and/or the Canucks.

[GDT] November 1, 2022 New Jersey Devils(6-3-0) @ Vancouver Canucks(2-5-2) 7:00pm PT Rogers Arena SN360 SNP SN650AM HOOZ YER FAVORITE HUGHES? EDITION: CDC Game Day Report: Pregame from Sportslumo.com: This one's loaded for Bear folks! Look for lots of scoring. And even perhaps a shoot-out goal to win it! So, hooz yer fave? NUFF FOOL'N 'ROUN' ! LACE 'EM UP! DROP THE PUCK ALREADY! GO CANUCKS GO! PETEY WITH THE HATTY!

Ok, one more quick review and I'm dropping it.

I've got a GDT for Nov1/22 just about ready to go. Is anyone else going to put one up?

No, thanks. Sorry, I just thought you were going somewhere with it.

I see. How 'bout that?

To be fair, I was a bit surprised it is a 10 year deal; 2032-2033 isn't it?

Some first post Mucneer. Hoping for more.

heh. heh, ha ha what kind of oven?? what was the internal temperature?

1984

And TD is our very own Thatcher Demko!

shows the quality of hfboards

simple math = assume this; then extrapolate?

I just about lost some of my soup at 'the lack of proper tanking' ha ha hee hee hee hee!

And?

Perhaps it speaks to the quality of the lineup. Sign JT (and probably Bo), Petey's locked up for a wee bit, Quinn and Demko too, etc. One thing I like about JR & Co is the 'don't want to rush into a mistake' kinda thing. People like their own prognostications so much that they neglect to properly evaluate.

All trades include cap-for-cap or some adjustment for it; no way we get to dump BB's whole cap hit. Imo, Brock is priced out of the market as it stands; but may come back into it with the expected escrow pay downs (and therefore cap increases).

Played it once in PG; was a lot of fun (a lot of drunken fun).

Beat him like he's a rented mule Quintin I mean, like he's your little brother and you caught him eat'n your Hallowe'en candy.

That's why you haven't been then.

Wife looking over your shoulder?
