  1. I know they were playing an AHL opponent but I liked the way they stood up for each other and were all in during scrums. Not taking any sh*t is a good start.
  2. McGroarty hasn’t shown me why he was too good for Winnipeg. I’m gonna go with the entitlement rumour.
  3. Too scrawny. Fugly though.
  4. Dumbass must be beside himself. He would still be in Toronto if the core four weren’t so greedy.
  5. My wife calls the stuff I know stupid trivia.
  6. Lord Stanley of Preston was Canada’s Governor General who donated the Stanley Cup. Earl Grey was another Governor General, who donated the Grey Cup.
  7. Yes he’s been the 4C for about 2 seasons. McLeod should be the 3C so Krebs will be battling Lafferty, Malenstyn and Aube-Kubel for 4th line ice time. I believe Lafferty is the only one who can play C so it will be up to Lindy to configure this line. Krebs could shift to wing in order to potentially move up the lines.
  8. I am sure Lindy has a soft spot for an Alberta boy. Might treat him like a special project to get Krebs to be an everyday player.
  9. As I said earlier in the summer, one of his workouts was using the family Ferris wheel as his personal hamster wheel.
  10. The 13th forward can sit in the press box and feel shame. Competition for ice time is great. I also hope that Kulich and Rosen have a great camp and are sent to Rochester with a get out of jail pass as soon as there is an injury.
  11. You’re adding to the pile of chips on my shoulders.
  12. If you need a boost, vacation in Canada and use kilometres, 37% less work.
  13. Congrats, that seems like a great accomplishment. That milestone will be even harder to achieve as you age. One of my goals is to shoot my age in golf. I can score in the high 70’s but I just turned 60. I need to maintain my level of performance for almost 20 years, let alone live that long.
  14. Good job, lol. I searched high and low on AOL for this stuff and just could not find it. Brawndo has the speed but you carry the mail.
  15. I think a big part of Power elevating his draft status was his World Championship performance, becoming Canada’s go to Dman vs men and some NHLers. It was a relatively small sample size tournament, but he shined.
  16. I am willing to give him until the start of the regular season to add another scorer. If nothing is added, even for top 9 depth, then they are risking missing the playoffs and the majority of the fanbase will be wanting KA removed.
  17. We are all impatient and want to see a move to help the top 6. I hope this is his plan, training camps to start and see which teams need to shed salary that he could absorb. Maybe a guy like Ehlers gets moved, not that the Jets are in salary trouble, but he refuses an extension.
  18. We need all the new blood that is willing to come aboard. Your wife probably doesn’t have the pain of the 13 year drought, she probably sees a light at the end of the tunnel.
  19. The Pegula era just stinks.
  20. He played for your Mooseheads in 17-18.
  21. We have lost multiple dogs and it never gets easier. The unconditional love they give you is incredible. We say our current dog is our last one because we want to do more travelling soon. There will be a hole in our lives.
  22. The best sports example I can think of is golf. The elements can turn on a dime, especially in a place like Scotland. The field of play changes every day, pin positions, tee boxes, grass and turf conditions. Throw in the emotional response to great and horrible shots, being in contention, being near the cut line etc. and there is tons of uncertainty. It was easier to predict in the Tiger era as he was so much better than his opponents. Even in that era he would still not win 2/3 of the tournaments he played in.
  23. The competition for ice time should be a wake up call for him. Get better at the details of being a bottom sixer and carve out a career.
  24. I am hoping for Quinn to take the bumper position and watch some footage of Brayden Point and transform the PP. Quick shot, give and go, tipped passes, rebounds and feed open shooters while the focus is on him. He’s got the ability to do it.
