why don't they use the Abbottsford rink? I know the commute can be ugly, but like some others have said ... they can utilize the local hotel spaces.

this is why I DON"T want us to make a deal for someone like Byram. Concussion history is like playing russian roulette in hockey. One wrong fall/hit and they are toast. Good luck and best of health recovery though to Joonas. Better to get out early, gives best chance to an almost normal life after hockey.

with the eastern bias of voters that never stay up late enough to watch us play, we stand VERY little chance of winning anything. also with the mcdoofus/drysaddle/mathews the scoring titles are already in the bag( for one of them) I predict that we have 3 or 4 in the top 5 finalists of several categories though. The only major trophy I could see us having a decent chance at is with a strong performance all season the Adams trophy for Tocchet. which naturally means that he gets fired NEXT season.

don't they first have to get out of the second round?

except for this goober

he's sounding more and more like a politician.... only says middle of the road answers without actually answering the questions. Of course he's dedicated to the Oilers... it would be career suicide to say otherwise. But as soon as it's time to re-up the contract...look out, it'll be show me the money or adios amigo. 'I always wanted to play for (insert team here ) '

plus their new mascot.....Carrot-top

Bold? you want Bold? Canucks team gels early and wins the Pacific division. Oilers fall flat on their faces and McDavid demands a trade. Leafs lose in the first round of the playoffs....again. ( ok, that one's not bold )

too bad that Tretiak couldn't be included in this, as he never was able to join the NHL.

this REALLY depends on how fast our revamped D-core gels.

so, is he taking 'time off' from hockey similar to Jordan taking time off to try baseball? the whole world knew that he was 'suspended' probably for gambling, but he took time off instead of the media crap show.

so, does that mean he'll suffer a major injury early in the season?

until Petey signs at least a 6 year extension I wouldn't include him in the conversation. If they don't go with all A's this season, then I'd probably go with JT... a little bit more of a seasoned vet, signed long term, wears his heart on his sleeve.

Bure Petterson Burrows Snepts Mitchel Mclean Since my d-men aren't listed I counted them as 1's each

so........we lost a 't' ?

with no fighting say hello to cheap shots galore... no retribution.

SHhhhhhh.... better them than us.

Taken from the bow of the ferry on the Tswassen to Victoria run.

how about this......... if a team is over the cap one year, they have to be UNDER the next year by double the amount that they were over in the first year. This gives teams one year to 'go-for-it'

use Baby Shark as a goal song? do do dodo

and just how long before Arizona cancels HIS contract? they've done that, what, 3 times in the last 75 days?
