This is curious. Not the Lafferty part, but the Czuczman part. I assume Lafferty to the taxi squad means Kap draws in tomorrow.

Matheson out longer term, maybe why they want another dman other than POJ

That's the biggest thing to me. If Kap is a bust with Sid, but good at 3rd RW? Could they then try Tanev with Sid? Could they toggle Kap and Rust? Could Roslovic fit as with Sid? If Kap is a bust then it just makes sense, at least to me, that you go big instead of rotating some middlers with Sid .

I would also suggest seeing where McCann is with this team and move him, bring in Roslovic or another player. I'd rather move McCann to make room for Roslovic rather than Petts.

If this team's going to improve, we need to find a way to add without giving up one of our 9 best forwards or 4 best defensemen. Any hockey trade that brings in a top 9 forward but sends out Pettersson or McCann is too lateral to make a difference unless its something stupid like Taylor Hall.

Yea I suppose haha, I was just thinking if we could balance the right-handed/left-handed players in our top 9 that could work. I'd rather keep all our players and add Roslovic. However just don't see how unless Matheson is out for the season, or we trade Matheson.(Unlikely)

I'm confused, Winnipeg has 5 games this week. That's why I took like 4 Jets players lol why does yours show 2 games?
- j.boyd919


Yeah, that's weird. Glitchy I guess. Not shocked with this site haha. When I go into the matchup it shows them all having more games.

No secret. Magic mushrooms, man. One of the drugs I was talking about the other day. Our government just gave green light on them for medical reasons but they're still illegal. Honestly a microdose (half of gram to gram) of them is amazing... You wont get all trippy but you'll get a little gling, maybe some mild visual changes, however your overall attitide and concentration for the days and
days after are amazing....now...if you want alternate reality eat a full fledged dose (2+ grams) ...and they're actually one of the safest drugs on the planet, so no worries of OD.

I know quite a few people micro dosing (or more of) them once or twice a month and swear by them. I'm talking people with families and careers such as lawyers, accountants, trades people, nurses.. I could go on.

- MattStrat


I take a few times a year to keep cluster headaches away. Dispensaries are popping up all over the place to order micro dosing kits, or ounces of you want lol.

Wait no joke, I’m on here for hockey but this is insane! I’ve had migraines for decades and cluster headaches for the last 10 or so years...this micro dose thing is real? I’ve tried cbd amongst everything else to no avail! Does it actually work?

Well I can only give anecdotal evidence but I get daily headaches and migraines here and there, as well as cluster headaches for about a 2-3 week period about once a year. Someone told me about mushrooms helping, obviously no doctor would recommend. So after some reading, one day I bought a quarter of an ounce and ate it over a few days. Then I did it 6 months later. And again and again. I haven’t had a cluster headache in maybe 5 years. Still get daily headaches and the odd migraine but no clusters. Coincidence? Maybe. Something else I changed and didn’t realize? Maybe. Mushrooms? Maybe. I travel a lot for work to various parts of Canada so bringing mushrooms everywhere for micro dosing is a bit of a hassle but every now and then I just buy a small bag and have myself a weekend. My wife was sceptical but she just laughs at me now.

In Canada there are lots of online dispensaries popping up now for mushrooms just like weed before it was legalized so it’s pretty easy to get whatever in just a few days. I would like to try microdosing for a bit though.

The more I think about this, unless the plan is to shove ERod out of the lineup and Tanev down the 4th, it doesn't make sense for them to bring in someone like Roslovic. IMO unless they're going for a big gun on the RW, then don't bother.

TIOPS...

If this is true it's even more maddening. 4-5 teams were seriously in on Hornqvist, but basically there was another team willing take nearly all of Horn's contract without having to take an albatross back. For whatever reason JR was dead set on getting Matheson. At least one team was flabbergasted in the direction the Pens decided to go. CBJ, MIN and NJ were seriously in on Hornqvist.

It's TIOPS so obviously take it with a grain of salt, but this also seems very plausible to me.

The other note was at tone point there were discussions of a 1-to-1 swap of McCann for Roslovic, but that fell through.

- Rinosaur


The TIOPS info seems very plausible to me. I am convinced Rutherford's ego got in the way of restructuring this team the way it needed to be. Horny would be seen as an attractive asset to a number of teams who still think of him as a tough nosed, play with heart kind of player. I have no doubt at minimum, we could have shed his contract and freed up that money to get a guy like Hoffman.

Rutherford is making moves for the sake of making moves. He has no plan for this team. He is old enough where he can walk away the second things hit the fan.

Every single team except a small few was cap strapped this past offseason. No team was eager to take on an aging, injury prone limited winger with 3 years at over 5 million cap hit without sending something back

A guy isn't tough if he isn't willing to drop the gloves. Pushing and shoving doesn't count.

TIOPS is a rag that is on par with Eklunds "roomers"

Something tells me Sully had a hand in this, maybe even the driving force behind it. Guys like Horny and Cole are not a Sully type players. He wants a Disney On Ice team.

The local beat guys are always going on about how Sully loves Hornqvist, so I don't think he drove him out of town. Unless it's by not using him on the top PP.

With Cole, it wasn't even style, Sully supposedly didn't like how friendly he was with the media. Which is completely stupid. But also not something Hornqvist was known for.

Wow sounds promising! I get migraines approximately twice a week on average and everyone is pushing those injection medicines that they don’t know much of anything about. I’m leary of anything that claims to have no side effects and has only been around for less than 2 years. Thanks for the info

Yeah, I knew that about Cole, but not that about Sully and Horny. The trade just doesn't make any damn sense other than get ahead of the curve with Horny (in the last good year of the window?!) and get a PMD with some offense to his game.

The reports that several other teams were interested tells me that JR put Horny on the block (instead of specifically targeting Matheson and finding out who/what Florida wants to make it work).

I hadn't heard of "cluster headaches" but I have been getting headaches for days/weeks at a time and then weeks without. But mine last all day. I had all kinds of tests but all they could come up with is non-allergic rhinitis (which sounds like a catchall when they don't know what the (frank) it is).

I also had "olfactory hallucinations" in which I would smell smoke that didn't exist. It ranged from cigarette to campfire smoke smell. Also got the sense of great humidity when none existed along with constant sinus congestion.

I'll have to give this a try. I used to eat mushrooms recreationally and I'm a fan. My mom's partner, who is a phychologist, takes the microdoses and recommends them to many of his patients.

Yeah, its not just you they help. I know of so many and they're also gaining medical attention now. I know of quite a few people taking them for depression. I watched a documentary about a man who was a successful engineer, has a wife and 3 daughters but suffered from severe seizures...that is until he started taking shrooms. For him he needs a full dose once every 3 months and he's been seizure free for like 10 years now.

Well I still get daily headaches so it did nothing for that but cluster headaches are one of the worst things I’ve ver experiences in my life. Absolutely brutal for about 12-14 hours a day for 2-3 straight weeks. And it’s been 5 years since I had that whereas all the specialists and their pills and oxygen and crap never did a thing to help. It’s worth a try especially if it gets legalized.

Go with the naturals.

Ive taken a lot of different kinds of drugs in my life, legal and illegal, and mushrooms are the only thing I have ever taken that in the days after I feel better than the day before ate them.

It is good to see this.

Drugs like this have such a bad stigma because they were made illegal and had years of propaganda against them. Lots of indoctrination. Weed finally started breaking free from this in the last decade.

I think the main reason these safe drugs were made illegal is because they open your mind and your way of thinking. Governments dont want that. Governments dont want you to think outside the box, to question anything and they want you to be scared of a lot of things. Punch in your 8 hours, then go back to your safe space and tune into your shows and news to get a bit more scared of the world and then go to bed. Rinse and repeat. Use alcohol on the weekend to dumb you down and drink lots of caffeine in the week to make you productive.

Its crazy to me that the most socially accepted drugs, that is the legal ones, alcohol and pharmaceuticals are some of the most detrimental to health and dangerous. So many deaths and health probs because of those.

So much backwards poop in this world.

hahaha technically, musically, they don't suck...but I've never really gotten into them. Ive heard a few things from them I could certainly listen to again, and wouldn't mind at all, but I don't seek them out on Spotify or anything. The only song by them I can tell you by name is Waited All Night...or I think that's what its called.
