Decent guitar player but his music stinks dude. Food for thought.

Maybe he has discovered the opposite sex.

Which one? According to recent studies there are 100 genders now upgraded from 67.

Please advise.

While a definitive plan has not yet been put into place, I'm led to believe that Danny Briere is a serious candidate to be the next General Manager of the Philadelphia #Flyers.

But changes are definitely happening.

Just another example of a failed rebuild.

Fletch is out! This is good news. Tortorella probably forced Dave Scott’s hand. But whatever, you’re right, another guy who thought he could “re-tool” on the fly and he signed some really poor contracts. Fletcher was almost as bad as Benning.

There’s a lot to cleanup now in Philadelphia.

Did y’all watch the Oilers vs Bruins game last night? What a game, Ray Ferraro said, he was the color guy, the Oilers probably couldn’t have played this way (defensively) a couple years ago, but they can now. Great to see the Bruins lose like that!!

I predict they’re out in the first round. Frank the Bruins!!

A new piece from Carol. I'd say the whole tanking thing needs to be changed.

Watching Chicago this year is just ugly for the game. Columbus has a young team, Arizona is a joke always.

even out the odds more for all the teams but have them only jump 6 spots. Make it much more random. Have 5 draws but only allow a team to win it once and next season you are "locked" into where you finish.

Every year organizational leadership from each team finds a way/loophole in the system that allows them to circumvent the rules. The fact that Arizona has 31 million dollars on their payroll for players who will never play for them is a complete joke. It shouldn’t be allowed and needs to be addressed during the next CBA.

There’s always been bad teams or teams that tank but to cheat the rules like AZ is doing is a bad look on the league.

Especially as that league has bankrolled/saved that team from bankruptcy and relocation so many times. I don't know why other owners really put up with it, since it costs them a lot of money

Ruthy is out! This is good news. Toch probably forced Aqua’s hand. But whatever, you’re right, another guy who thought he could “re-tool” on the fly and he signed some really poor contracts. Ruthy was almost as bad as Benning.

FYI - I strongly believe, no one will ever be as bad as Jim Benning in Vancouver! He’s in the Mike Milbury, Ned Harkness & John Ferguson Jr. territory of GM folklore.

It's pretty well common knowledge in here, whatever you believe in is wrong.

and if Marwood is backing you, double wrong.

There is a rule for retained slots, why not a rule against how many you can put on LTIR. Players that are never going to play again separate from in season LTIR.

It’s not really a subjective opinion, it’s a fact, in that it was the worst period in Canucks history as far as wins/losses, poor drafting, and poor trades. They did manage to pick a couple great young players, but considering the poor finishes, they should’ve cultivated a lot more out of the draft than they did.

You are now a draft expert are you?

You and I have had the conversations about what comes out of the draft for years. You don't know much about it but you also don't want to listen to people that do. So is it really fact?

Did you see the Kraken vs Sens game last night? Senators looked good and they don’t even have Josh Norris in their lineup. Building a really good team there despite the lack of resources. Drafting is everything!

Yes first or second. CAR beat them 4-1 I think a month or so back kinda showed how the Bruins will have issues in the PO's. CAR could make the conference finals if not the SCF.

I posted the quote and your response to it was, I think you read the word Ottawa and then decided to make up your own narrative. Your thought was NOWHERE near what the guy was suggesting.

Not even close

It was 10 times worse than your assessment of Virtanen.

No, I didn't watch the game last night btw.

Golfing at 11:15am, supposed to be 79°F (26C) today, y’all have a great and blessed day. 🖕🏽

When was Mike Keenan GM of the Canucks? He traded for Bertuzzi as Panthers Gm.
