Quinn is playing and Cozens has a goal tonight... https://video.hockeycanada.ca/en/c/november-21-watch-live-red-vs-white.105686

_______________ = neck. I'm partial to Black or White depending time of day.

How many times has Dach seen Toews show up late? Cozens and Dach are supposed to be leaders.

These restrictions started today in Manitoba... A person who resides in a private residence must not permit a person who does not reside in that residence to enter the property or residence. There are some exceptions for those who live alone and for childcare, healthcare, property maintenance and emergencies. Gatherings in indoor or outdoor public places are limited to five persons for some specific purposes like weddings, funerals and physically distanced outdoor activities. The fundamentals should still be practiced in these situations, including mask wearing and frequent handwashing. Retail businesses must sell only essential items, ensure compliance with capacity limits and implement measures to ensure physical distancing. Retailers can continue to sell essential or non-essential items online, by telephone or by remote means for delivery or pick-up. Travel to and from northern Manitoba is restricted and non-essential travel is discouraged. Other critical services can operate as set out under the public health orders. All personal service businesses, including hair salons, barbers and sites offering manicures, pedicures and other esthetic services, must close. Gyms and fitness centres must close. Religious and cultural gatherings must close or be provided virtually only. Restaurants must close to the public and may be open for delivery, drive-thru or takeout only. All recreational activities, sports facilities, casinos, museums, galleries, libraries, movie theatres and concert halls must close.

They're sleeping...

Five people allowed in the house that do not live there is the law here now. Masks are mandatory indoors...Bars are closed and restaurants can only do pick up and delivery...gyms, casinos, libraries, movie theaters, beauty salons etc... are closed. Manitoba had about 9 days in a row without a case in July and now we are the worst in the country per 100,000 people.

Everyone has a tendency to over value their prospects but Cozens is as good as gold. If not for Eichel, Cozens would probably be your 1C in 3 years. Having him behind Eichel will be envious in a few years. You don't trade him for Kane because Kane only has 3 years on his contract and you don't want to lose one of your best players when you are hoping to consistently contend for the cup. Cozens, on the other hand, should be developing into one of the best 2Cs in the game at the right time. If you want to trade Cozens, trade him to the Jets. If Kane is traded, it will be to a team that is ready to win the cup right now like the Caps or Vegas or someone of that ilk. Maybe even Pitt if the numbers worked, but I doubt very much that Kane and Toews will be traded even if it is the right thing to do.

My guess would be January 16th at the earliest. About 54 games or a bit less. There is talk that they might do 2 and/or 3 games in a row (similar to baseball) to cut down on travel and such. It looks like there will definitely be a Canadian division. Manitoba just went Code Red and they won't be able hold a TC in Winnipeg for at least 4 weeks and that might be extended depending.

It is a place that is Trumpless...thank God.

When I try to access this forum from my computer, I get a message telling me that a connection cannot be made because my clock is wrong. My clock is the right time for Manitoba?

Then they get to the NHL and Weber or Reaves is coming at them licking their chops. I don't like it at all.

If there is no hitting in hockey, is it still hockey?

Ouch!

I wonder if the Canadian teams will play out of the US? There are still travel restrictions in place here.

You mean there's a period there where they have to be under and then all of a sudden they can put a player on LTIR? What an absurd rule.

If I'm not mistaken, once he has his QO he has to be protected or left available for the XD. As for center, Button commented a few weeks ago that he hasn't re-signed with the Sabres and the Jets should be interested as they need a 2C. Does he even watch the sport or what? If the player files for arbitratioin and I am assuming he did, the team picks the term and I can't see the Sabres picking 2 years. Smart move on Sam's part if you ask me. He loses a bit more than a million or so this season (reduced number of games anyway though) and has all the leverage next year. It will be pay me or I am gone at the end of the season. Maybe they just decided on not going to arbitration (if true, smart move if you ask me) and would work on a proper deal with time and patience on their side. 5.2m is quite low if you ask me but like I said, this moves the leverage over to the player.

I think a team can be over the cap by 10 per cent, no?

The Jets will place Little on LTIR as soon as the next season starts and that clears up 5.3m. Niku, Roslo and Harkins haven't re-signed (RFAs). Methinks Chevy will make a deal yet that brings back a 2LHD. There's been lots of rumors that Laine might be traded. If they trade him over putting an aging Wheeler on the 2nd line and Laine on the 1st line, I might start cheering for another team.

I'd gladly take Toews at 3.5m retained. Heinola (future 2LHD), 1st in 2021 and Copper for Toews. He's only scored less than 52 points in the lockout year (48 points) and his last three seasons have been 60 (on pace for 70), 81 and 52 points. I know he'd never do it but it's nice to dream.

Jokiharju might be playing before TC... This article seems to suggest there is a chance that Laine Barkov & Jokiharju could be loaned to Tappara. All three are apparently practicing with the team. https://www.nhlsuomi.com/2020/10/22/patrik-laine-liigaan-il-nama-kolme-nhl-pelaajaa-ovat-tapparan-mukana-ainutkertainen-mahdollisuus/ it's in Finnish.

Got back today from 4 days at the Nopiming Provincial Park with the gf and kids. The pic is 3 of the 11 ruffies I was lucky enough to harvest. I hunted every evening for about 2 hours. I also got a sharptail grouse. I'll be going back in 2 weeks with a hunting buddy for a day hunt.

If the Sabres were to trade a 1st for a goalie, wouldn't they have just drafted Askarov? If Khudobin starts stealing the show or maybe even if he doesn't, Bishop could probably be had for cheap. A re-signed Rask might not cost too much either.

The Central Division has being one of the toughest for the last 8 to 10 years.

The only reason I'd trade him is if his ask was ridiculous. I'd give him 5 x 6.375m.
