  1. That's what I plan on doing
  2. I like the way Victor has quietly gone about improving his game (at least to the eye test, someone may prove me wrong with the stats). He seems more involved in the fore/back check and I hope that with an injury free year he can continue to to improve. A 50-60 pt session shouldn't be unreasonable.
  3. Taking into account taxes, public upkeep of property etc The Royal Family cost UK taxpayers over £340M a year. They are supposed to be neutral and a power designed to keep politicians from passing laws that unfairly impact British citizens. However they use this more often than not to veto rules that directly affect their own accumulated wealth. E.g. climate change bill, equalities act, animal mistreatment etc. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/royals-vetted-more-than-1000-laws-via-queens-consent https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/09/prince-charles-vetted-laws-that-stop-his-tenants-buying-their-homes https://www.republic.org.uk/the_true_cost_of_the_royals And let's not forget Prince Andrew https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/02/15/queen-help-pay-12m-prince-andrew-settlement/ It is sad that a family have lost their mother, grandmother. Just as it is sad for all familes who have lost someone dear them.
  4. Highlights of the game uploaded today ahead of Friday's season opener. Jerseys were a one off "special edition". I think they look awful.
  5. You never know, it might catch on.
  6. Sabres have announced Theme nights for the upcoming season.
  7. Got some good ones coming up: Godspeed You! Black Emperor in a coupla weeks, Hot Water Music and Be Well 2 weeks after that. Then Cave In at the end of October. Woop. What a time to be alive!
  8. I can only assume they'll follow this article up by looking at all the times a team "bet" on an emerging player and it worked out fine.
  9. I don't think he'll stay healthy. Will announce retirement immediately after the season.
  10. Fwiw I came here from the hfboards 4 years ago. They are an utter cesspool and no sense of any kind of community. I get more of a sense of everyone's personalities on here and in general discussions stick to debating the post not the poster.
  11. Holy balls. They were awful tonight. Lost 3-6 They look like a time who are yet to learn each others first names. GT was hung out to dry on several occasions. They looked OK early on cycling g the puck in the offensive zone, but the players didn't look like they knew where their teammates should be on breakouts etc. On the plus side, young scottish lad Liam Stenton acquitted himself well for the Clan. Really love seeing guys from the amateur Scottish clubs coming through. Craig Peacock scores 2 for us in a team MOTM performance.
  12. The season begins next Friday with the challenge Cup. Then we're into the league season. Unfortunately £15 is usual price for webcasts. That's the average ticket price for a game. The owner of the Clan franchise doesn't like webcasts. Hopefully they do a better job of the highlights this year. I'll post any as soon as the club make them available.
  13. First exhibition game of 22/23 season ended 5-3 to the Clan. Full match report: https://clanihc.com/report-fife-flyers-3-glasgow-clan-5/ Good result against Scottish rivals up in Fife. Considering most of the players met for the first time last week is encouraging. Next up Dundee Stars travel to meet the Clan at the braehead arena. If you are ultra board you can stream the game (for a fee) here: https://www.clanihc.tv/ puck drop is 7pm UK time. I make that 2pm est.
  14. Lol at Leafs. Comments on that article are gold.
  15. Wait.... wasn't he untouchable?
  16. I think this is the section.
  17. When I first saw that I was like
  18. Love the Goathead. Currently have.... How many is too many lol!
  19. Source: https://cfjctoday.com/2022/08/30/there-were-conversations-with-the-agent-after-the-nhl-draft-blazers-gm-addresses-lindgren-trade/
  20. I really like this move. Yes we don't know what TT will do next year. However on the positive side regarding team chem/strategy if Tage produces this year and is a bonefide 1c that effectively sets up the upper limit for the contracts for the rest of the squad. Would they pay more for lower producing forwards? Would those forward expect more than TT? I think the gamble Adams is making here could actually help the overall cap structure in the future.
  21. Dahlin will break Ankles, and a couple of faces this session. Top 3 norris ballot.
  22. I liked the speculation on the podcast that wcof was every 4 years and in between there would be olympic participation.
  23. I'm guessing it's because the NHL will receive monetary compensation.
  24. As title. According Ian Mendes on Arhletic hockey show podcast World Cup of hockey will return in Feb 2024. Yup, during the season. There will be a full nhl shutdown to allow players to play. Should autoplay from relevant section. I cant wait, I love international team sports.
