He's certainly a decent player with quality leadership skills. However, I think he really likes playing for the Jets and his role there. Plus, I'm sure he'd command a fairly substantial return (on a separate note, I still can't believe the roster that Chicago had that first year they won the cup - Toews, Sharp, Hossa, Kane, Seabrook, Keith, Ladd, Brouwer, Buff, Versteeg, Campbell, Hjalmarsson, Bolland, Bickell, Niemi - just a sick lineup)

Sven with 3 in the second. JV with one point in 5 games.

Sven Baertschi has a hat-trick as the Comet's are up 3-0 in the middle of the 2nd period. Jake Virtanen has his first professional point.

Lol nice. Glad they are having some chemistry. Might be line 2 with Bonino next year.

absolutely, I love that about him. No spewage of talking points/rhetoric or any other bulls*hit, just reasonable debate and facts. And you know how much conservative love those (unless of course they support their agenda then suddenly it's ALL about the facts ). Ugggg, don't get me started (too late).

I wonder if Hitchins was a hockey fan, though
- Zogg

It is all about this is true, so that must be true... and somehow these things are related and true, or not related and bulls*hit.

Guy prolly loves him some cricket. Then again, I guess he moved to the states, so maybe he was fleeing cricket.

Of course, what was I thinkin' he was the straw that stirred the drink (frankly, I was a little bit surprised when he didn't receive any Conn Smythe votes )

Bo never has a point when he was on the Comets. I have been following JV, aside from Markstom he has been the best player.

Come on, who on this planet does NOT enjoy 73 straight hours of cricket! (just have a lot of quality tea and tea cosies/doillies on hand and it's a virtual orgy)

And yes, I love the nebulous logic that some of these pundits/talking heads espouse. It would be almost funny if you didn't know these idiots were actually running the country

He has been playing well but Grenier, Friesen, Gaunce,Beiga and Andersson have been very good. Markstrom with the exception of two games has been far away their best player.

When the Sedins retire there are going to be a bunch of players staring at that 14 million in cap space and salivating.

We'll be just fine.


As a matter of fact, McDavid will be an RFA when the Sedins retire...

That is very true, but hopefully we will be diving into our resources and not Free agency , but you are right , 14 mil can buy 3 very decent players

SMP from last blog. Love Seaside, definitely not a singles resort

Stayed at the Shilo in a couple of times also stayed a few times in Cannon Beach

That whole area is rich in history and trivia

Thanks for the info on Cannon Beach. Just made it here a few hours ago. Staying at the Ocean Lodge. This place is a significant upgrade from Bandon.

Let's face it most of that 14 mil will be going for Sbisa's next deal
