Yeah, a real battle of intellect happening here. Dufus vs Karen....which Middle School insult cuts deeper? Shall I ask my 12 year old?

lol I wouldn't expect much less from the champs...

Is your 12 year old a drummer? Goalie?

Morning all.
I hope those of you who are in a region where the sun is shining, get sunburnt today, I will continue to rust in my location.
We have our rivers and creeks flooding, it has been so bad.

Thats worse than the article I just read that compared Matt Beniers to Matt Barzal, citing similar styles.

Stay safe up there Ruby. I saw on global news the snowpack is high, which means a ton of run-off this spring/summer.

Thanks Lefty.

I am expecting quite a bit of flooding this year, because of the snowpack, but didn't expect this 4 continuous days of rain, with at least another day more of it, before we get a break for a day.

Draft lottery today, they draw 2nd overall first (5.7%) Canucks odds

Then they do another draw for #1 (5.4%)

9th — 58.6%

10th — 28.0%

11th — 2.4%

Hot and sunny yesterday and today in Victoria. We decided to stay here for June & July to enjoy the coast before heading south. It's around 100°F every day in Scottsdale so I'll golf here for the next couple of months in milder temperatures.

Maybe I'll go slay a Chinook or two...oh ya, you're not allowed to do that on the south coast anymore

It's too bad they can't see each other in person so they could repeat what the other just said back to them in a whiny voice.

Lots of good kids in the top ten, no generational kids but all the top ten teams picking should get good players.

Why is Arizona still in the draw? They said if they pull them they will redraw, why not just remove them and give the other teams their true odds?

I'll assume we won't get lucky and stay around 10.

Kent Johnson or Mason McTavish would be my picks.

It is so when the Rangers and the Flyers win the lottery, it is one less spot they can move up.
They can only move up a maximum of 10 spots.

She started at 5 playing Viola. Decided to quit last year with the condition she pick up another instrument. She's been playing Bass for the last year. Just starting to get to where she's sounding decent.

Taught her to skate but she hates Hockey. More of an artist. Really good at painting and drawing.

If either of those kids are still there, that would be very nice.

I heard not even a shot attempt in the first 20. Yikes.

Look, I actually do think he's a hell of a talent. I'm no hater.

But it gets harder and harder to overlook when it keeps happening the very same way every postseason.

I think coaching is part of it. Babs was too much of an uncompromising egomaniac, and Keefe seems too easygoing.

Why in the hell did they keep Matthews & Marner together all series when it clearly wasn't clicking?

It's like he gives them as much rope as they want and never really reins it in.

I heard someone on the radio liken it to not splitting up the Sedins, lol
Just a bit different I'd say

The only luck associated with the Canucks, and a lot of stupidity, is bad luck.

There's always a team or two which goes off the board. Bob McKenzie has Johnson at 8 and McTavish at 11, of course its still early and a lot can change.

Bad luck in the lottery for sure, I'll still watch it and curse like every year.

That would be sweet. Not holding out a lot of hope on that though.

I believe those were Bob's mid-season rankings.

Those rules come into effect next year, not this year. Any team can win it this year.

From Down Goes Brown at the Athletic:

Arizona

They don’t have a first-round pick, as part of their punishment for breaking combine testing rules. But they’re still in the lottery, for reasons nobody seems quite clear on, which means that if they win, there’s a redraw.

Seriously, why are they in the drawing at all? Just take them out and adjust everyone else’s odds. The only explanation I can come up with is that the league wants there to be some small chance of the team knowing it cost itself the first pick, which is super mean and more than a little petty. I’m kind of here for it.

Great just what the world needs. Another Guitar player. Just kidding. They grow up fast. My best advice is if she's serious about music to put her into something where she learns some theory and to read it while she's young. Doesn't have to be Guitar because her hands will be small until she gets older and fretting might be frustrating.
