How long until fatty is back with Burke now that Shanny is the big dog?

I don't think he'll go down that road again. (Burke)

Trent Yawney needs another shot in the NHL coaching crew. I would give him a look.

For what it's worth, Dane Fox won the OHL overager of the year award today...

More interestingly, his 64 goals is the most since Tavares scored 72

I don't think he'll go down that road again. (Burke)

If Toronto gets a better pick I am going to lose my (frank) ing mind. They are in full on tank mode right now.

Does Hansen understand the concepts of what to do on a 2 on 1? Its been comical.

Sestito should be clocking like 45 minutes of ice time this game if the canucks knew what was good for them.

That has always been one thing about Van city. You don't make the changes needed to make the team better fans react. Unlike other unnamed Canadian cities they have no problems selling tickets and produce junk year in year out.

Sure, but that could also set a dangerous precedent, one in which we have seen emerge over the last few seasons. The concept being that ownership will scratch and claw to make it into the post-season, good team or not...

What would it take?

What do you think they are worth that another team would consider? PK ? If I was LA, I wouldn't trade Doughty. What D-man could your reasonably see coming back for one of the kids?

Depends which one. I think we have to balls out at free agency to get a couple of Markov,Boyle , Hainsey, Robidas, Mitchell to stop gap and solidify for 2-3 years. We have plenty of Depth with our D prospects. Just need time.

This season, if any i'd guess Winnipeg (apart from season tickets) and Calgary?

Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton will never have that issue, regardless of on ice product.

Edit: Forgot Ottawa, they tend to have issues selling out against crappy non-Canadian teams.

Markov (Whitney/Souray 2.0 if he signs in EDM)
Boyle ( simply will not play in EDM)
Hainsey (complimentary player, without a decent cast, will turn into Ference 2.0)
Robidas ( Old as (frank), likes the sunbelt states)
Mitchell ( He's ours)

I hope not, would be nice to get him cheap (mentioned a few times he'd like to return) to fill out the bottom pairing.

Jesus Christ.....I guess you can say something about every free agent prospectively playing in Edmonton.
You mean Markov will get injured if plays here and not somewhere else?

Mitchell said he would like to come back to Van?
