    Is it just me or does Katie Ledecky look like Tom Hiddleston here?

      it hasn't got a lot of attention on CDC, but Utunen looks like a solid prospect for us.

      @Hairy Kneel "Virtanen" is one of the most common (if not the most common) Finnish surnames. Liken it to Smith or Johnson in NA. So maybe a distant relative :)

  4. Dave Pratt going on about how the 2016 draft could be as good as the 2003 draft as if that is a new revelation.You know who said that the 2016 draft was deep even before the 2015 draft happened? Benning.

      No, one of our 2nds goes to Pittsburgh for Sutter.

      2013 deepest draft since 2003!  2015, deepest draft since 2003!  Every draft shall be deeper than the last and all shall be as deep as 2003 so sayeth the analysts yearly

      thejazz97

      Actually, next year isn't supposed to be deep.

  5. Had this recorded on VHS back in the day.

     

  6. Haven't seen the movie but I love this song

     

     

  7. Here's what Adam Cracknell is up to.

      Good for him!  I always loved Cracks, seemed like a real heart and soul kind of guy. Happy for his successes as of late.

  8. How is Colorado only barely in a playoff spot when they have such a beastly top line?

     

    Where are they really deficient? 

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      Almost everywhere else?

       

      They sort of remind me of the WCE Canucks, just with better goaltending.

    2. RetroCanuck

      How is Edmonton not in the playoffs when they have the best (maybe) player in the world?

       

      Takes more then a few guys to make a team that can win.

  9. How odd is it if the Sedins end their careers with 0 fights? 

     

    Do many players with lengthy careers have 0 fighting majors?

      That was an after whistle fight. It started after a hit on henrik against Chicago (I think) and retaliated. The whistle blew before the fight started so it never counted as a real fight.

      Bolland dropped his gloves but Daniel didn't but daniel did punch but wasn't really a fight.

    4. Green Building

      Green Building

      Better than being Alex Semin with 1 fight.

  10. I want Sebastian Aho. Since we're not signing Neil or Olson, Let's sign Raddysh and Aho.

      I wanted to see the two Ahos shake hands when they played against each other at the 2015 World Juniors but the camera didn't catch it.

    3. NHL'er

      surprised he never got drafted!

      oh! sorry @Where's Wellwood ! i didn't know there were two Aho's. usually they just come in singles. 

  11. In the lead up to Rio, I just read a Canadian POV recap of the Canada-USA Women's Soccer 2012 Olympic semi-final and now I'm pissed off again. Hope Solo, Abby Wombat, that freakin' ref. 

     

    In other news, Hope Solo had 'Zika! Zika!' chanted at her by the crowd because of tweets she sent out about how much bug spray she was bringing to Rio, and having her own mosquito head net. Overreaction by the crowd? Yes. Were her tweets insensitive? Not overly. Is Hope Solo still a drug test failing, nephew assaulting, non-conciliatory bitch? Absolutely.

  12. Jake and Pratt are not funny at all.

  13. Just learned that Netflix is making an adaptation of Death Note in which 'Light Turner' and 'Mia' battle L (played by a black guy) and it's set in the US.

     

    I can appreciate that much of Death Note's content could take place in contemporary US, but if their americanizing it this much, how are they going to explain the concept of shinigami? With clunky exposition about 'death gods'? Comparisons to the grim reaper? Or will they drop the concept entirely?

     

    I recently saw Edge of Tomorrow, and while it was okay, the american style happy ending and gun dominated battle scenes, didn't hold a candle to the bitter sweet and visceral manga adaption of the light novel that I read while watching the movie.

      Well it can't be as bad as Dragon Ball Evolution...

    2. Baka

      Actually now that I have thought about it for 2 minutes Death Note works for a movie story line. It could be quite good. Even if they go well off script the concept in general is doable.

    3. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      As I see it the first half of Death Note (everything before Mello and Near), could be divided as:

       

      Intro

      Lind L Taylor test (where L comes in)

      Raye Pember

      Naomi Misora

      Ryuzaki and the 2nd Kira 

      3rd Kira (Yotsuba)

      L Dies

       

      Now parts can be removed but the 1st half is generally Light finding out what he can do, and the 2nd half is his battle with L.

      Highly unlikely 3rd kira happens (as shinigami were essential to making that plot happen) and with 'Mia' cast, the 2nd Kira is clearly happening. Do they have L lose? I can't see that happening. Light is the villain and so they'll probably change the ending so that L wins since I don't see the 2nd half of the manga being adapted.

  14. Just wait till we draft Dahlin next year. Dahlen to Dahlin back to Dahlen shoots, rebound, Dahlin scores!

     

    Good luck Jon Abbott

      Pronounciation unclear...

       

      Obscene for Dahlin, or

      Stallin' for Dahlen?

      That reminds me of a comedy piece some impersonator did on Dan Russell's show, probably about 15 years ago.  It was along the lines of (in the voice of Foster Hewitt) Recchi to Ricci to Reekie to Richer, back to Reekie, over to Recchi, Ricci shoots... Richer on the rebound... scores!  Goal by Shanahan. :P 

  15. Just watched 'Too Many Cooks', 'Unedited footage of a Bear', 'This house has people in it, and 'Broomshakalaka' back to back.

     

    I loved two of them.

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Too Many Cooks was hilarious, but around minute six it became a little overbearing.

  16. Kekalainen has built a tough team in Columbus. Lots of 3rd/4th round draft picks playing big roles and smart trades for Panarin, Jones, etc. 

     

    However, it seems like almost every good team out there has picked top 3 (Dubois for Columbus). Something Vancouver still has yet to do recently

    1. 6string

      6string

      Interesting how we are without a President of hockey operations and many feel we are fine without one. But John Davidson proves by hiring Kekalainen as opposed to Edmonton's Bob Nicholson who hired Chiarelli makes a huge difference!

       

      Colorado also supports your top three picks too....

    2. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      The one big exception to the Top 3 rule is Boston. Their highest picks are Debrusk and McAvoy, both at 14th. Boston is behind right now to Columbus though so who knows how that turns out in the end,

  17. More volatile divide: Apple vs Android or Marvel vs DC?

      @ Ghostof1915 I actually have the first 10-11 original issues of Captain Canuck comics. Wonder if they are actually worht anything now ?

      Well, I enjoy both Marvel and DC.... but I #$%&ing hate Apple. Hate hate hate Apple. 

  18. My new favourite thing:

     

     

  19. Nate Thompson sounds a lot like Luongo, does he not?

     

     

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Definitely similar. Different vocal mannerisms though.

    2. Rounoush

      Was on the computer and the TV was on. I thought it was Luongo talking too.

      @-AJ-

       

      On Sportscentre tonight in his interview after the Canadiens won, he spoke with the same cadence at Lu so it was even more similar. 

  20. PLD is way more attractive than Matthew Tkachuk.

    He's my pick.

    1. Baer.

      Baer.

      Yeah I'd say he's a pretty good lookin guy
