Might be a few minutes late. Date night. Art Knapp's to chose tulip bulbs and then to a new brew pub in Courtenay for dinner. The smoked meat sandwiches look ridiculous.
I will cheerfully miss all of the pomp & glee. Hopefully this game will at least be midly entertaining. Pom-poms standing by.

Thanks Carol.

With both Miller and Horvat on the 1st PP unit, it will get going I think. Still, winning those face offs only goes so far when Edler is going to fumble it over the blue line or hold it until a defenders shins are just a couple of feet away and bounce it off him and have to chase it down. The change will come eventually I'm sure but do we really have to verify Edler is that player this season after watching it for years?

Quinn Hughes.

And after chasing it down, proceeds to telegraph his drop pass so that the defender can intercept the pass.

Pettersson gets the “C” from a source of mine. Good choice.

Green will be gone by Xmas if they aren’t close to a playoff spot. Probably won’t be long

That would explain where they get a RHD rumours

I've seen this scenario play out in Edmonton a few years ago. Taylor Hall should have been captain, given to McJesus and Hall traded for Larsson in one of the worst deals of the century.

Horvat for Dumba?

Horvat for Pietroangelo?

I hate that FA and JB have let the cat out of the bag, ruined any potential fun in speculating it.

JB literally tells IMac he wants it to be Bo’s

FA goes on radio saying “it’s the worst kept secret in the city”
