  1. Air temp currently +12F, but wind chill is -5F.  Overnight through early tomorrow morning the air temp is going to be in the negative, though.  When did I move to Minnesota??

    Are we in the same state?! You should feel lucky. If you can feel anything, that is.

  2. If they are truly franchise changing players like they've been advertised to be, they should be able to step right in.  I wouldn't expect them to be elite right away, but I would expect them to contribute.

    Given what serious hockey people have said about McDavid, yeah, I expect elite. I won't rip him if he's not elite. If he's not really, really good, something is wrong.

  3. Thank god, best news I've heard all week. So do we get new 3rds, can we just go back to the originals?

    I don't know what's stopping this franchise from finally getting it right. Give us the classic look we want and an extended moratorium on third jerseys. I'd take three years. Just give it a rest already.

  4. I'm sad and angry all at the same time. Sad, of course, because 35 is way too freakin' young. Angry because whether natural causes or suicide, I'd be fairly surprised if concussions didn't play a role...and the NHL continues to think 2 games here or there is actually a punishment.

    I've been trying to find out what caused the concussion in February 2012 that kept him out of the lineup for seven weeks. He returned for one game and went out again and never really came back. There were no fights in that February 2012 game against Colorado.

    It was the guy's game.  We can't change what he was.  

    Fair enough.

  5. You called him limp wristed in another post. People get touchy on this board. I made an aids joke about Crosby and it turned into a homophobic complaint fest. Stick to jokes about eating babies and raping Canes fans. For whatever reason that's a non-pc comment that's completely acceptable.

    What day is Homophobic Complain Day?

     

    I'm not all that PC, I just thought it was strange to go from editing someone's post to have him stroking Luongo's hair to delicate and then limp-wristed. Kind of a weird vein if you ask me.

  6. Yeah, my head almost exploded when I heard this much was given up.  Once I came off the ledge, I could see what Murray is doing (by overhauling the style of play), but just don't agree with how he is going about it.  I get aggravated when I hear that Kane is a "legit 1st liner", "an elite player", "a 30 goal scorer", etc (which have all been said either here or other comment sections) as if these are all givens that should taken at face value.  Outside of his impressive 30 goal campaign 3 years ago, Kane is none of that currently.  "30 goal scorer" implies he's been rattling off 30 goals season after season, when its much more like 15-19 goals.  In addition, he wasn't even a first liner on his own team.  And we aren't talking about the Blackhawks here, its the freakin Jets.  And a guy who scores 30 once is elite?!!!!  Wow, how times have changed. 

    The word "elite" was murdered a few years ago on this board.
