Hurricane has just hit boys. Rain and wind is nuts. Expecting 20 inches of rain and flash flooding over night. Actually a pretty cool experience going through this for the first time

Good luck. Keep the family safe, like a man.

Low humidity, interior desert climate, which makes it tolerable.

Right, that’s not too bad as long as you can wear shorts and have AC. I love the desert climate because of the temperature extremes at night. Anyways, off topic. How many 1sts will Benning give up for Karlsson? Is Hughes to OTT a done deal?

So using a 10 month old baby as a umbrella is frowned upon and makes me less of a man? Asking for a friend.

At least you don’t have smoke! I can’t even (frank)ing run anymore and I live on the water. 45 is tolerable in Scottsdale (barely)...what’s the humidity like where you are?

I live on an island and I can't see half a km across the harbor. Brutal tonight.

Yes... but using a 10 month old to get your family to the front of the line is a distinguished male posturing technique and will result in a slow clap, especially if it's too get a strong drink..... for your wife.

Then get the glasses and ice cubes out my friend.

Downtown Van was insane today. I couldn’t see three buildings away. Few hundred metres perhaps. I have a sore throat and have been coughing and I normally don’t have breathing issues. I feel bad for the poor bastards in the interior

In southern Alberta right now and it sucks. So hot and smokey.
Albertans aren’t real happy with us BCers at the moment. Lol.

I agree. I wasnt expecting that post to be taken seriously.😀
I don't believe we are very good trade partners with Ottawa, in this deal, unless it is some type òf 3 way deal.
We have only just started seeing our prospects enter the AHL and we have 2 top 6 forwards, so hopefully, Benning doesn't do anything stupid like this.
If he does, I will join Lefty and call Benning an idiot on here daily.😁

I agree, it would be stupid, and Benning is a idiot.

Just having some fun, wanted to see how many I could reel in.

Stop whining, you're worse than Makita.

Sh1t forgot you two were tight

Hughes will be better than Karlsson.....hard NO.

Just listened to Benning interview from earlier today, he basically said, Horvat, Boeser, Petterson, Hughes, Juolevi, Demko and Lind are untouchable/future core.

No Gaunce?

Even Benning, who's an idiot, isn't stupid enough to make a deal for Karlsson involving our 1st round pick.

We disagree on Bennings intelligence, but anybody with half a brain realizes our top prospects and lottery pick in the Van draft are untouchable. For the record I don’t think he is smart I just don’t think he is an idiot. He is an oaf that is a reasonably smart hockey man.

I am compelled to agree.

I just call him that for dramatic effect, it bothers some people around these parts so it kinda gives me a bit of pleasure to annoy them

Just remember, for as much of an idiot as you think Benning is, he is making a million per year and watching hockey and you are making $250k getting blasted by sand

I think Vegas is out of the EK sweepstakes.
The Tatar & picks given trade tells me this.
Holland did well & McPhee blew it IMO.

Apples and oranges, the amount of money you make doesn't imply how intelligent you are, there's a lot of smart young guys, smarter than me, working for a lot less money than me.

Truthfully, you know as well as I do, there's a lot that goes into the decisions Benning makes, he doesn't operate on his own. I still question his motives and his building decisions but he's clearly not a dumb NHL guy. Although he comes across that way.

On the Stars getting EK...
I see Heiskanen as a non-starter as said.
