      My comment wasn't directly at you. Merely just stating what I've experienced and have heard from other friends. But don't get me wrong, some supervisors and managers have 0 clue what they're doing.

      Kings didn't have an easy ride last year. They just played amazing hockey. Accept it. Can`t believe people actually hate them for beating the hell out of us in the first round.

      I would have taken the Coyotes, Blues, and Devils over any other team we played on our cup run.

      @marleau I don't hate them because of the fact that they beat us. I hate the antics and attitude of Brown, Doughty, Sutter, and the air with which the franchise carries itself.

      I don't the the Hawks as much anymore because may of the players I hated (Byfuglien, Ladd, Burish, Eager) aren't on the Hawks anymore.

  3. Based on our current pre-season record of 1-2-2, we're on pace for a 66 point season. Pretty close to estimates, huh.

      Committee offense, hopefully Baer and Horvat see an increase on last year, the wild card Rodin could surprise if he stays, Hansen will likely be good for 15, Eriksson could see 25 if he sticks with the Twins.

       

      I'd wager we have 6 18-20 goal scorers this season, with nobody reaching 30, but committee contributions would mean decent balance.

  4. To everyone who cheered when the Bruins won, Shame on you. You never cheer for the Bruins, no matter who they`re facing. Toronto is a young hard working team and they don`t deserve to be called chokers for losing the series. They played their asses off and should be applauded for it.

      Yes, they choked. But it wasn`t the worst choke ever, and it certainly wasn`t as bad as some chokes that both the Canucks and Bruins have had with far better teams.

      I hate the Bruins more than the Leafs. 2011 cut deep. Stab wound right to the heart with a simultaneous bullet to the head. 

       

      The hate for the Leafs because of media coverage and favouritism is more like constant paper cuts. I can live with those.

      Get knee pads, if you have knee problems.  you will likely learn both single and dual person CPR, there is a possibility that they no longer teach vents( breathing for the victim) but only chest compressions.

      It is as simple as A,B,C

      A- airway- is it open and functional

      B- breathing- are they breathing

      C- circulation- do they have a pulse/heartbeat.

       

      Just by taking a first aid course you reduce the risk of yourself being in a accident by a significant amount.

      Chest compressions will be practiced on a, usually arm and legless, doll. I always wondered ,why do cpr, no arms or legs- most likely dead and not worth reviving. :)

      @6string

      If Matthews and Marner keep up this pace of putting up points, I see them coming in at more than McDavid and Draisatl.  Plus, the two are just better players anyway.  (Ha Ha Oiler fans!)

      I see Matthews as 13 mil, and Marner as 10 mil.

  17. Really souring on dhaliwal. I liked him when he was twitter only. Today he's using McCann's 16 goal season and Guddy's +5 in 6 games to show that you should never give up on a first round pick. In that case, let's get Nicklas Jensen, Hunter Shinkaruk, and Jordan Schroeder back and def resign Pouliot too.

      McCann is a weird story. I'm not sure why the Canucks gave up on McCann in the first place.

      False narrative.  Just because you trade someone doesn't mean you're "giving up on him."  Trades involve actually moving value for value, not junk for value.

       

      Quote

      He's right, those were terrible moves.  McCann would be 4th on this team with 16 goals

      Captain UberHindsight with presentist bias.  Canucks should have kept Kassian, too?  How stupid to "give up on" Grabner...

    3. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      McCann is only 22...so we don’t know what his upside is as he still has potential to get even better.  For a team like the Pens, a cost controlled asset (at least until after next season...his cap hit is less than Granlunds), he’s invaluable to them  (a guy right NOW, they can insert as a bottom six C or a top six winger.

      Just glance at the rear view..don't fixate on the ****ing thing. Otherwise we crash on life's hwy.

       

      It's a yr of development & 1 more sexy high pick. No point muddling that up. Gud & Pou assisted with that goal!

       

      & McCann would likely have totally different numbers, if he'd stayed here. #Riggeddeckleague would've allowed opponents to run him over with regularity.

       

      Apples & oranges..keep a stiff upper lip, & play the hand we're dealt!

  18. Last year the Avs were so bad that we had no chance at 30th in the league. This time, we have a legit shot at 31st.

      Bouchard is the guy we pick if we're 6 or worse, IMO. Boqvist is our 4/5 pick and maybe even 2/3, though Svechnikov and Zadina could rival for 2/3 as well.

    3. Tortorella's Rant

      @Pears I'd rather a defenceman who can play defense and isn't undersized.  Bouchard puts up more than enough offense and brings a better rounded game.

      I can't agree with that. I'm not sure if I hate the Leafs, or the media that loves the Leafs, or maybe both. Anyway, if the Leafs win the Cup or even have success in the playoffs, that's all Canadians will hear about for months. I'm not sure I can tolerate that. If the Bruins knock off the Leafs, I don't think they'll go on to the Cup finals, so it doesn't really matter. Anyone else want to open the paper at the end of June and see a headline that reads: "Matthews' Leafs Canadian Heroes With Canada's First Cup Championship In Over 25 Years". Not me. I'm pulling for WPG to bring a Cup north of the border.
