I'm not sure, he's more, say and do what you have to keep power, just like all the other PMs...

He doesn't even have to work that hard at it. The Liberals do so much to make their positions so similar to the NDP that they just split the votes among their core supporters and the Conservatives clean up.

I definitely do not.

That being said, I'm respectful of their opinions. But when that high of a percentage of people in 1 province vote one way, there's obviously a stubborn population who hold apathy toward people who vote the other way. I think Americans are more polite and educated than most Albertans meet.. But I don't know any texans..

Either way, it's a non-issue to me because heading back to where I belong.

I hear ya, but to be fair there are other areas of the country that vote a certain way pretty much every time too...

Does that mean we will now be in the Stephanie Robidas Era ??
- Byfuglien Ate Me

I know you hate robidas for some reason.. And sure, his on ice performance isn't what it used to be, but having a guy like that around to mentor the young kids back on D is worth the measly 3 million per season for a couple more years.

It's good to have vets around who have been there done that for the kids.

Limit his minutes and let him teach

I definitely do not.

Albertans tend to be bumholes, this is known.

I just thought it was an amusingly hypocritical statement. I spent a couple days in Edm last fall and that's my entire experience with North Texas.

BTW - did you end up accepting that new roommate with the interesting job?

Edmonton has it's liberals.. Like any big city. It's actually not a bad town.

No I didn't haha.. (frank) that.

Kadri 5.5 for 4

Santo 3 for 5

Bernier 6 for 7

Can't fit Franson in there
- Byfuglien Ate Me

No more than two years each for Kadri and Bernier. Still too man questions to lock into either of them. A heartfelt thanks to Santo and Franson as they head off to over teams

Of course.... but deep down inside he can't wait to look down and laugh at all the unbelieving sinners left on earth to fight the wars of the apocalypse after Jesus blows the rapture whistle.

No, second to last, the last thing they need is a guy like phaneuf

Lebda, that guy set this club back years!...

Remember him tripping over the opposition blue line leading to an opposition breakaway and goal?

That was awesome

I hate the layout, driving there sucks...

Actually oil guys are pretty Richardish for the most part, this is true... What comp do you work for?...
- aminnes

But, but isn't SofaKing an oil guy?

I hate the layout, driving there sucks...
- aminnes

Agreed.

Plus, the media in Nashville couldn't possibly care less about hockey. Which is always helpful for a guy like that. Ask Ribeiro
- jl639s

Yup, put him in a market where he's about as popular as the broke ass guitarist playing on broadway and fifth trying to drum up enough change for a box of Kraft dinner.

Of course.... but deep down inside he can't wait to look down and laugh at all the unbelieving sinners left on earth to fight the wars of the apocalypse after Jesus blows the rapture whistle.

Meh, thats a front too, they play up the christian role to get votes, bush new this well too...

i remember Phaneuf doing that this year, only it was the centre line

def the right direction.. i would have like to see them get another high pick this season to really build them up.

i like Calgary.. would put them as one of my fav other teams to cheer for

1 - Leafs
2 - Future other Toronto based team
3 - Future Las Vegas Team
4 - Calgary/LA/Edm
- senstroll

I'm cheering for the Nordiques when they come back.. Just cause I hate Habs fans.

Don't worry, they won't make any deadline deals because there won't be any good ones...

7, buts who's counting
- the_eye

Only 7?

Well then... A (frank)ing steal of a deal... Keep him
