Not the type of stuff I normally listen to, but I've become a huge fan in recent years.

My friend @mat_84 is getting married today. Him and the Leafs have something in common. For both it's all down hill after tonight.

My take on Edler.

Very cap friendly contract . Congrats to Gillis. It shows Edler wants to see it through in Vancouver. You have to get behind players who feel that way.


Talent wise he is a rollercoaster ,but mostly on the positive side. He is still young. and seems to have a mix of Ohlund and Salo. When this kid figures out his talent and the way the game is played ,I think most of us will look back and be happy with this day. We now have our core D locked up for the next 5 years , so let's sit back and enjoy the ride.

WELCOME ABOARD MR EDLER. Let's finish the job.

It is refreshing to see players stay for less than what they would most likely receive in an open market.

Now, we just need to sort out some secondary scoring........

He's probably looking over Vancouver Island real estate like the rest of Alberta.

I still think by the end of the year we will have one new D prospect and 2 new forwards.

I don't think Raymond or Ebbett will be Canucks next year. I think Calgary will be looking hard at Raymond to play with their new Rookie sensation.

The Alberta market is the only one making any money right now, BC is a bad investment...

For the start of the pool is it better to shuffle players around daily or do they have to go on waivers?

There's no waivers dude, just drag and drop players into the lineup spots available. I have the whole first week of the season done already. Make sure to click "update roster" or save or whatever it says, I can't remember. thats what the bench is for.

True enough.
Cumberland is a mix of Alberta transplants mixed with Vancouver transplants. Quad-riding rednecks vs Lulu Lemon wearing, soy latte sipping, nouveau urban hippies.

Woke up this morning turned on 1040 had breakfast and then logged onto HB and found out that Edler was signed because of VANTEL.

You are my new go-to guy for sports news! I thought this would have been bigger news.

I prefer if Canucks could fly under the radar this year, it wouldn't surprise people but taking some of the heat off would be good for the players I think.

Dude, I'm coming for a Mama Bear! I have a cousin in Parksville, will definitely make the trip next time I'm up Island.

Don't know what I'm talking about?
