What Bo has done early this season is reminiscent of Hank when Danny missed a slew of the season.
Yes Rats, I'll ask.

What the heck is "aluminum pot management?"

He is coming off a knee injury - those have been known to slow guys down for a bit.
I'm assuming Topper is pot-shotting Rio Tinto with this.
That is even more confusing. You guys speaking English???

Topper was using an anagram.

aluminum pot management = plutonium management

Plutonium = toxic.

Very toxic indeed to talk publicly of trading "the guy who puts the team on his back".

Canucks could have traded for Luongo's LTIR and saved some cap space....

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Well, I will say I am getting better. After the second goal, I stopped watching.

This is only significant, because I can recognize when they are playing uninspired hockey.

Oh, and it’s the first time I quit early since I started watching hockey decades ago that I turned a game off before the end. I decided my time was better spent elsewhere.

Any word on Demko yet?

[edit]
Upon further reflection, I realize this game was simply another Bruce vs. JR/Allvin game.

Allow me to explain…

I was a little perplexed why Stillman was in the lineup over Burroughs, until I realized Brucie was showcasing the talent that Mgt brought in. I mean like seriously, everyone knows aqua man was there last night and Brucie was simply saying “See!! THIS is what you traded for!”

To make sure the point of ‘we are too small’ was rammed home, he introduced the leagues first Smurf line (nobody over 5’10) with Garland-Dries-Hogs.
To make sure the point of ‘JT and Brock can’t be on the same team because they can’t play defence’ he put them on the same line as Bo.

This is a solid theory.

It makes as much sense as anything right now with this team. We're used to the franchise playing Jekyll & Hyde hockey - but they seem ready to outdo themselves this year.
