The smoke shops in Gastown were the best thing as kids in the 70’s. You could by “rush” there. Who remembers those little bottles of “rush”? They were a fantastic gateway to huffing airplane model glue.

Right you are Hargraves.

Here's Mathowny's last post ever at this site, lol wut a dolt.

His heroes Higgins and Matthias never did a damn thing from this post on:

Higgins (31G/7G/19A/26P):
We're getting good value for Higgins. He is on a reasonable contract @ 2.5M for 4 years with a limited NTC and has been utilized almost exclusively as a 2nd line player. Comparables are:
- Mikael Boedker (25Y/14G/14A/28P)
- Brandon Prust (30Y/4G/9A/13P)
- Matt Cooke (36Y/4G/40A/8P)
- Brayden Schenn (23Y/11G/23A/34P)


Burrow's (33Y/12G/13A/25P): We're not getting good value for Burrows. His contract @ 4.5M for 4 is too much for his current year production. Comparables are:
- David Backes (30Y/19G/21A/40P)
- Teddy Purcell (29Y/8G/19A/27P)
- Erik Cole (36Y/17G/14A/31P)
- Max Pacioretty (26Y/29G/23A/52P)
- Martin Erat (33Y/8G/18A/26P)

I don't share your concern of signing Matthias to Burr/Higgins contract mainly because all three players bring different skillets and are in different contract situations. Higgins = Good Value. Burr = Bad value combined with signing for 4 additional years at age 32.

Matthias is 26 and as I've shown in my research, his classification as a 3rd line player may be due to a stunted player development process in Florida. His junior numbers paralleled that of Matt Beleskey and Matt currently is a top 6 player on Anaheim. The main difference between Beleskey and Matthias is height with Beleskey at 6'0 and Matthias 6'4.

Are you firm in your opinion of Matthias as a 3rd line player with some top 6 talent? Because I'm not. Based on how aggressive he's playing right now and how easy he's making it look I think Matthias is ready to bust out as a 50+ point player. A current player that I see as similar to Matthias is Wayne Simmonds. Simmonds has much better career numbers but he's also played for much better organizations in the Kings and the Flyers. Anther interesting stat is Matthias's OHL numbers are MUCH better than Simmonds. There's a 47 point difference in their last season of junior.

I'd like to see Desjardins bump him up to the 2nd line to play with Vrbata and Bonez (when he comes back) to see what can do. We could have a diamond in the rough in Matthias.

I remember lighting up a smoke and wandering around Woodward's when it was open, it was closed on Sundays of course. I enjoyed just seeing the sights back then.
The Pacific Coach from N. Delta to New West. Fries and gravy at the Royal Towers, Kelly's Records at 6th and Columbia, the guys grwoing old gracelessly sitting in the chairs outside the elevator on the rooftop parking deck of Woodwards, trying to find a way to hop in one of those baskets for the grocery tunnel ride to the outdoor pick up.

Finally had a beer at the Royal Towers after seeing Scarface in the theatre with my brother and a buddy of his who lived in that neighbourhood.

Skipping school to hop a bus downtown from Burnaby to hang around A&B.

Grade 5 in N Delta, buddies and I scraping together 50 cents to buy smokes at 84th and 112th and arguing over Players Filter or Export then hanging out smoking and copping feels with our girlfriends in the dugouts of the just built Mackie Park (used to be a pig farm, same with Grey Elementary, Sands Jr High).

and Mathowny, I'm glad all three brought different skillets, it made the pot luck dinner so much better.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

MS is seriously mentally challenged or something. Videos, comments or anything pro JB is wrong but reading between the lines is OK for him to make his accusations. This guy really needs to get a life or we may see him raging out at some poor person who wants him to wear a mask.

If he had a brain he'd jump at a chance to wear a mask so people wouldn't recognize him as "that hotdog guy".

But then if he had a brain he'd realize being recognized as the hotdog guy is a bad thing.

Also if he had a brain he'd do better than hot dog guy.

MS is going bananas in the management thread. Fuck I wish we had the archives of the old CC. We used to get him chasing his tail and losing his shit regularly. Doc and THINKER can absolutely confirm this. Jesus what an angry little gaffer :lol:
