There's (was, it seems to be gone now) a good write up from the Penticton tournament by the Nation Network guys over on Canucks Army. Basically, Bo Horvat is a winner, does all the little things right and makes players around him better. Jensen was also excellent, as was Shinkaruk (all obviously still have things to work on). Valk was impressive, Subban has promise and Cederholm has come a long way in a year (that was for Vantel, still a long shot to make the show).

The author made a specific note that it seemed like the Canucks (Benning) had other priorities than winning games. It looks like he may have increased his prospect pool by three from camp invites - Valk, the better of the two goalies and one of the D-men, forget his name.

- 1970vintage

That's about right. I don't think Cederholm carried the puck over his own blue line last year. 1 yr in Portland has done great things for him, hopefully he can absorb more this year. It's even more impressive because of the language difference.

On a side note Canned Heat Going Up The Country is frucking great when your drunl

Perhaps it's that new taxing initiative on other UK treats - i.e. eelpies, blood sausage and head cheese sandwiches, toad-in-hole, bangers and mush, yorkshire slabs 100% hog-fat, pickled water fowl, bearded biscuits n such?

Im going to sound slightly stupid when I ask this question. But have any HB'ers in the nucks thread ever planned a random bar night just for the hell of it. Or is that too nerdy or should we just allow our lives to be private.

God knows I've wanted to meet all you twisted POS'S

Yah, I know a few people (including myself) suggested we perhaps have a bit of a meet up and watch a Canucks game somewhere (probably at Vantel's as he's got hotty Fillipina cocktail waitresses and will be serving for your pleasure, yet again.....balut )

In any event, entertainment factor aside, it would be prudent to know what you all look like, in case I have to provide descriptions when calling 1-800-CrimeTips

So essentially, the tax doesn't apply to people who sell week-old mouldy pasties? (frank) yea
