That's a dangerous game to play having 3 rookies in your top-6.

With two young guys in Ghost or Provorov added to that mix.

I dont think Hextall would do it, but I personally would. Gudas would stay, MacDonald never sees NHL ice again and sign a veteran 7th d-man.

I do have this feeling lately that Ghost may be the one to be dealt out of the bunch. Not sure Hak is a fan.

haha i think youre safer there than a bike
- YuenglingJagr


I dont know.

If I crash on the bike, its a quick death more than likely.

I crash on a coaster and I'm probably mangled but alive. Same reason why I would sky dive but not bungee. You just splat and die from a failed parachute. Bungee can choke you or who knows what else.

I know people who have sky dived and loved it. I'm sure I would too, but NO (frank)ING WAY am I doing that.

Probably because he made that errant pass to Giroux/Simmonds leading to the 3rd goal of a 4-1 loss last game.

I imagine one will be moved at some point, and I think it's Ghost because he's kind of redundant. His offense ability is great, but if you have Provorov, Meyers and Sanheim I'm not sure there is a 'need' for Ghost.

I like him and his style, I just him as the most likely piece to be moved.

I've never been picky, since I was never a great shooter. Just used Bauer's, starting with the Extreme 88 as a kid and then moving on as an adult.

Quick story: When I first played ice when I turned 22, my first "real" stick was the original Synergy Si-Core, the orange shaft, which i always wanted. Loved it, got it at Play It Again for like $60 with a new blade. Played my first game, left it on the stick rack outside the room. Got done getting dressed, came out, it was gone. Haven't ever seen another of the shafts.

- jmatchett383

I LOVED that stick. I tried a couple eastons after that and it was never the same. I bounced around between CCM and Bauer for a bit, but have been True for all most two years now. Love it.

bungee is actually more dangerous, I believe. For the exact reasons you mentioned.

All roller coaster crashes result in large explosions, so I think you'd be toast

I'm not even going to go into it anymore.

My thoughts on Hak and his lineup decisions are well known. Moron. The firing is coming, they all go eventually.

When I bought my Stadium jersey I wanted to go Ghost, but I had this odd gut feeling he could be dealt out of all of d prospects. With the rise of Myers and impressive season from Sanheim so far, it really makes you wonder if Ghost becomes more expendable since they both have an offensive game. Obviously there's nothing wrong with just keeping Ghost, but Hyptohetically speaking, he could help our 1LW or 2C issue via trade. And I wonder if this topic gets more legs if Hagg pans out as an NHL regular dman.

I love Ghost. Hell I think we all do after what he did last year. He's struggled but its only his second year, and he now has to adjust as many players do after the league figured them out a bit.

I dont agree with trading Ghost now. Value all time low.

I'll do neither the bungee or skydive. Which is odd considering some a the wacky poop I've rode at amusement parks.

I started playing goalie using soccer shin guards, a baseball glove, soccer goalie glove as a blocker, and almost anything i could find as a chesty, along with my habs roy replica mask.

Getting the mylec leg pads was revolutionary

Looking back I think that is the number one reason I have absolutely zero technique haha

- YuenglingJagr


same here, basically. the day i got those mylec pads was the greatest day of my young life.

I don't want to trade Ghost now, nor do I really want to trade him at all, but if Colorado came calling asking about him for a deal involving Landy or Duchene I would absolutely listen. Its not a knock in Ghost, as you said we all love him and he's still young and very promising player, but it's more the fact of redundancy. Provy is your all-around top minute dman and Morin is your defensive defenseman with grit, size, and physical meanness. Both Sanheim and Myers have their big size but both have great offensive capabilities that could be used on PP eventually perhaps, and Myers has the bonus of being right handed shot. It's certainly a luxury to have 3 offensively gifted dmen, and even 4 when Provy gets his offense going, but is it exactly needed? Who knows.

in the summer time, kind of. it was 115 give or take every day for weeks...more like months. we hit 123 for a couple of days.

i don't love the heat, but i got used to it quickly, and kind of like it now. the pool helps. a lot.
