Man I really hope the Knights win their serie against Niagara (most likely who they'll face in final) so I can see Tinordi at Shawinigan. Oh and I might take a look at Houser their goaltender, he has been good the games I watched, and was apparently stellar for most of the year.

By the way Patrick Holland's Americans were eliminated in 4 games by the powerhouse of Portland, starring notables Sven Bartschi, Joe Morrow (A favourite of mine) and goalscorer Ty Rattie.

He ended the playoffs with 19 points in 14 games. Tied for 2nd on his team with overager and linemate Adam Hughesman, behind overager and PHX property Brendan Shinnimin.

During the playoffs he really showed good skills on the point on PP. He doesn't have the biggest shot, but is a great setuper and his shot is always on net. He looks bigger than what he's rated too. I'd say he's 6'1, maybe even 6'2.

Can't wait to see him in the Hammer next year

Nice to leave out he is himself an overager, as is Adam zzzzzzz

No he's not. Unless you consider Michaël Bournival an overager.

When I mean overager, I mean guys aged 20 at the start of the year, which Holland was not.

Indeed he is still with the Wild if I'm not mistaken.

Risebrough is actually rumoured as a possible candidate for the habs GM.

Anyone knows if ole' Doug speaks french? During his era guys like Robinson and Gainey learned it, so I would guess so...

Pretty sure he does not speak French.

À ce jour, la grève a coûté environ 95M$ en salaires versés inutilement et 25M$ en effectifs policiers à travers la province, pour un total de 120M$.

To this day, the strike has cost 95M$ in salary given to teachers and school workers without any class given and 25M$ in police officers throughout the province, for a total of 120M$.

What was the amount they aimed to get with that raise again?

They should stop paying the cop at the corner of my street too and just let me rip through the stop sign.

I'm not asking because I necessarily want him to, but rather because some fefans will be whining if he doesn't. As long as the coach does, I have no problem with having a competent anglo GM

They're counting only the costs caused by the strike. At the end of it, the raise for the next five years will mean nothing with all those extra hours given to the teachers and the policemen.

Your only argument is that I'm supposedly young and ignorant, which might be right. That's the only comeback you have, when I come with rationnal facts.

Depends, if you pay private camps to him sure, but minor hockey around here is around 400 bucks a year, with maybe the same added for the tournaments.

Heard it's more expensive in Montréal though.

It's a great parascholar activity, taught me a lot of things that I can use in life.

I met a lot of friends there, most of who I still see every now and then.

And it makes the youngsters move!
