Any idea what's best to use for live stream of TSN? I know theres a few I just can't remember.

I need that Jay & Dan but no chance I shell out for cable to get one channel.

I bought one of these boxes from Walmart. When I opened it all the individual packs inside were opened already! I called Upper Deck right away and they said it was a problem from factory. Thing is, I looked through all the cards and they were literally all crap. No inserts, no good cards. Very suspicious. Took it back to Walmart and explained it and they were good and let me grab another one. Just to be safe I opened it in front of the lady at the returns desk and they were also ALL OPENED inside. Again, I quickly looked at the cards and they were all crap, no inserts, not even good players. VERY SUSPECT. Seems like some of these card companies have a little scam going? Anyway, I am sticking with the individual packs. Will buy one today and report back later! lol!

Aren't the vast majority of sports cards worth virtually nothing? (Like anything post 1970)

Do you guys collect for novelty?

I totally missed the Canucks signing Vanek.

This is hilarious.

I guess they'll flip him at the deadline.

His numbers indicate he's still a good player. I don't know how much I trust the numbers though, he certainly hasn't put any teams he's played for recently over the top.

For what it's worth, I'd rather have seen him back with the Habs than getting Hemsky.

I know it's just FB but on the TSN article I saw this morning about it the first comment was "It doesn't matter. It's just them biding time for their prospects to develop. If you haven't noticed they have the best prospect pool in the league"

Our moves are very "meh" these days.

Lots of questions will be answered at training camp.

To be fair, as an asset management standpoint, getting him for only 2M and probably receiving some sort of draft pick at the deadline isn't stupid.

But considering he'll get precious icetime away from the young guys you're trying to develop..... I don't like it.

That sounds like someone is unpacking them and then resealing the box. I don't think it's the company but factory level or distributor. Possibly on the wal-mart side.

Sam Bennett and the Flames are having issues... These kids want big money.

Hopefully he's a stop-gap only for the beginning of the season. I think he might be an insurance policy if the young guys don't impress too well at camp or they just want to err on the side of caution of bringing some of the young guys up.

Yeah.... it's an interesting situations where kids want their big payday after a few good seasons... unlike before where they'd wait until they're at least 24-25....

Bennett has loads of potential but what has he done so far to deserve that money?

If the Flames are not careful, they could be in the same situation Edmonton was and had to deal Eberle/Hall and probably RNH.

Trust me when I say that a place like Walmart absolutely does not check anything thoroughly that is being returned and it often ends up back on the shelf.

(Apologies if you bought the pop up tent that I returned due to a "defective clip". I promise it didn't get launched 30ft in the air and mangled on impact due to high winds)
