  1. Be throwing shyte at a few negative posters around here... Besides enjoying all of the summer. @-Vintage Canuck- reveal yourself....... that didn't sound right....
  2. Get what you are saying, but think you are under selling the team a bit here. There are plenty assets on this team, but not assets we wants to let go of. Petey, Demko, Horvat, Quinn, Podz are all decent assets, and the main reason we don't have anything in the pipeline, is because good drafting has made them go straight into the team. The 1st for Miller was a good deal, and well worth it, but the 9OA for OEL and Garland is still to be seen. I'm sure we'll be able to get something back for Garland, and at the start of the season, it represented good value...unfortunately his aim has gone totally off the boil, and he struggles just now. OEL showed last night, what he is capable of, but paired with Myers is not ideal for him, and has taken some of his offense away. We need some changes, without doubt, but not sure it is as severe as even I at times have felt. Need 2 good, strong, smooth skating defensive RHDs to replace Poolman and Myers. They are to play with OEL and Quinn. And the cap for those two players could come from dealing Boeser and Garland. We would still need a few 3rd line players as well, but don't think it would be impossible to change it around. The big issue just now is Millers next contract. Once that is dealt with, we should know, what we have in the coffers. Bearing in mind in 2 years Petey is gonna need paid big time as well...
  3. Aye true, but for certain states like Arizona and Florida, without knowing too much about Tax laws in the US and Canada, I would expect the savings to be significant, and to be able to get a tan instead of frost bites may also sound enticing... Finally Canadian fans are a tough crowd... they know their hockey. And unlike most US crowds, they still turn out in their thousands despite their team being garbage... instead they vent their anger towards management, players, Zamboni driver, 50/50 ladies etc anything that represent their team. Other than that, I guess, your guess is as good as mine...
  4. If we really want to utilize OEL, a big good skating, crease clearing Dman to partner him, is what we need... So basically 2 good RHD men, but both defensive minded, which would probably come at lesser costs than offensive ones... And I like Myers, but he would be 3rd RHD so if a trade can be made, it should be looked into...
  5. Yep...imagine if Petey had been on a line with either McD or Draisaitl....
  6. Good call James. I'll second that... Like that Burroughs shows a bit of bite in his game... Thundering hit in the second was a joy to be hold. Add to that Pearson... Great game again by him. Even when he doesn't score, he is often the glue that holds his line together... Don't get the hate he gets..
  7. Great game to watch... absolutely hammered Knights and their ugly helmets... Or as Petey says... there can be only one... golden helmet
  8. This should be enough for the players to up their game.... Looks like it worked.
  9. 6-1 Knights... Eichel Haven't had much luck lately, so maybe that'll mean a win for Nucks...
