Not yet. Frankie the Mook has yet to see the light.

One wonders if he saw the work of the little home-grown product in Halifax and been enlightened to the marketing potential of drafting him - to say nothing of the potential on ice? Somebody has to hand Frankie the Tank Helmet and show him the way.

The third good hockey game of the day.

Nice to see a consistent effort though there also appeared to be something missing from the Av's game. They were sloppy, delay of game, too many men.....

Colorado role players know their roles and weren't afraid of the Canucks while targeting Hughes and Pettersson. There was a "what are you going to do about it" attitude. They were pricks.

Lazar brought the same to MacKinnon.

Schenn is no longer talk of the town now that he is paired with Dermott but Bear is getting lots of media ink since he got the spot along side Hughes.

Ko out Bo'ed Bo.

Does the Great Joe Sakic see the same in York Hunt that the Genius Jim Benning saw? - Blobby Brown, your thoughts.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

MacKinnon seems off this year. Are his best days over? He’s no spring chicken anymore. He’s as old as old man Bo Horvat is now? Drafted 9 years ago. Man does time fly. I better start working on that bucket list. First on the list, peeing in Blobs pool in Tri-Cities after he’s cleaned it, then dropping a coiler on his artificial turf lawn

Cup hangover, perhaps? This season’s Avs are certainly not the equal of last year’s squad, and it’s more than Kuemper flying the coop. Call it a hangover, but the kings of the jungle don’t look it this year.

You do realize the Avs have been murdered by injuries, don’t you? Must not watch much hockey?

Hunt like Stecher is a 7/8 D man on most if not all teams. Only a few pinheads rant and rave about their impact on the games. Minimum wage guys that play their bag off but they’re short and happen to be from the lower mainland.

Sakic is a much better GM than Lennie Small who coattailed a Cup making Chia Pet’s coffee.

Blobby sticking up for itty-bitty chaps again, it's a pattern.

Could it be that you stick up for itty bitty chaps because YOU, in reality, are an itty bitty chap? :wow:

If that was the case I’d stick up for you too Devito!
