Maybe you would like to legitimize your list by providing ice time or teams that are severely underachieving due to injuries or poor play etc. It’s a team sport , not that cycling would provide any sort of perspective for a guy . For instance considering Anaheim has missed Kesler and Getzkaf for a combined 60 odd games just might have an effect on some of their wingers production or the fact that Bennett has played in the bottom six all year.

Yeah no Bubbles, they need to own it instead of passing the blame. Stalwart - Bennett 4th overall pick, Reinhart - 2nd overall pick, Ritchie - 10th overall pick - Bubbles favourites

Yes I can see why you wouldn’t want to include any more details in your scatterbrained scatter gunned post. It’s lije when you go home with the grocery bill and show the wife the price that’s coming out of the account but neglect to tell her you pissed half the amount away on booze and drugs

Call it a hunch Bubbles, I believe we will not see much better from your big 3 of 2014 their entire careers. All 3 will eventually prove that they should not have been drafted top 20. These are Bubbles pickems

My big three lol. I guess so. I just ain’t as hypercritical of every player in the league like yourself. You said Mackinnon was hot garbage and Tavares was Dany Heatley. Maybe don’t judge so quick Dana

Yeah ! Pretty weird. What could be worse? If down the road a bit, Seattle does the same thing.
Ouch..... :drink:

Is there any chance that the Knights may find a 7-game series more difficult? It's one thing to roll up, play a good systems game, maybe out-work the other team and grab the two points; it's a bit different to do that four times to win a series. Personally, I'm hoping they struggle a bit more once teams figure out how to play them.

I'm REALLY hoping.

If they carry out UK's nightmare scenario, I'll join in the puking.

Well no team has had a scouting report on them obviously as they are a frankenstein group thus far, but more and more teams are building up a scouting report on them, on who to shut down, their systems etc.

And let's not forget they got MAF, show me a good goalie and I'll show you a good coach or something like that ha.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

One can only hope that they cannot win four against a contender, but where they sit now I think it’s more than than just catching teams unaware or some kind of Vegas flu. That might have got them a month or two into the season, but first in the West? second overall? In January I’m not happy...

Listening to coiler radio on my drive up to mcmisery last night was pretty funny. They're debating who is to blame and it seems that chiarelli is the goat...the Eberle trade was a huge issue apparently. More than the Hall trade as i guess Larsson at least provides some value to the team as opposed to what Strome is.

I would expect some moves shortly...Maroon surely will be gone and maybe Klefbom...

It's only a little above average when you consider that they paid 500 million to get there.
