[frink85]

Bob gotta be the first hockey player I’ve ever heard thank God

 

[physicx]

I'd live in Leduc before I'd live in Edmonton.

But I do love Foosh. Best shoe store in Western Canada.

 

[darthska]

Alright, I'll catch you all next time a 3-0 Cup goes 7.

 

[Bad Religion]

Paul Maurice with a pretty amazing interview.

 

[frink85]

Keith looks like he’s been living good

 

[tpfltxl]

I've endured all 30 years of it.

From being swept in 96 to relocation talks to STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

ALL WORTH IT

 

[rolaholic]

Long time, happy for him.

I remember him starting from the bottom in Toronto , now look at him

 

[DB Cooper]

Long time waiting! Shoutout the Beezer! I still have my hockey puck from 1998 when The arena was first built in Sunrise!

John Vanbiesbrouck’s mask went hard!

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Oilers made us sweat hard but it makes the title even sweeter. So happy the Cats finally pulled it off

 

[Bad Religion]

Might be time for my second, non-Canucks jersey.

Back to back years of beating the reverse sweep allegations

 

[frink85]

NHL draft more egregious than any other draft in dragging out the show. Just have Bettman announce the damb picks.

 

[rolaholic]

Pretty cool

Also glad the Habs ended up snagging Demidov , wasn't sure he'd still be available at 5

good start to free agency

Bad Religion the Bruins and Canucks swapping half their rosters via FA moves it seems

what's your take on Lindholm...doesn't strike me as a true 1C but that's what he'll be for us

I liked him alot, especially in the playoffs, but small sample size after he came from Calgary.

He was also playing 2nd lines minutes in the majority of games, so I am not sure how he will look. That's alot of money. Im a bit more sad about Zadorov, but Vancouver couldnt give him market value.

DeBrusk seems fine. I think he is the the stereotypical Tocchet guy though so hopefully he fits in.

Next CBA the league needs to do something about how the Leafs can dance around the cap. There is no way they should have the money for the guys they have, let alone the new signings yesterday.

i like Debrusk a ton. good speed, physical, and can finish. only issue he ran into here was he would disappear for 10-12 game stretches. but when he's hot, he's money. wish we didn't pick up Joonas as part of the Ulmark trade...could have potentially kept him

 

[getback]

Glad to see the B's finally have some type of enforcer. Have a feeling he'll become a fan favorite.

 

[DeadsetAce]

been seeing youtube clips posted that are like 5 minutes of Zadorov hits...just crushing dudes. felt like i was watching a clinic on headshots...not so much cause he's dirty but just cause of his size vs. those getting hit

 

[Bad Religion]

He loves chirping too, honestly I wouldnt have been mad if we kept him. Meyers a took smaller deal to stay so I had hoped there was enough for Zadorov. Ian Cole also leaving was great news.

Froburt looks like a discount version (price and talent) at least in what Ive watched. Heinen was born in Langley, BC so probably nice to come home.

Adding Desharnais and Sherwood Forbort, we actually probably made the D Corp a bit more solid despite losing Z.

You can’t make this stuff up. They probably paid a search firm for this too

[Bad Religion]

Embarrassing. They have a history of questionable signings recently, but this is different.

 

[DeadsetAce]

the memes about the oilers signing OJ, Charles Manson, etc etc are outta control on the TL

 

[Bad Religion]

Great work, Jeff. What a stupid way to get fired.
