Care to expand on the Robson thing?

Is there a link you're aware of to access the article..

Thanks! I can’t remember why I was talking to him or find the article. I might have to dig through my box of floppies!

My dad was a civil but remote figure at home - although he lived into his 90s our relationship peaked at cordiality. Among our few father-son social interactions was that he took me to my first Canucks game in 1976, maybe. He bought me a souvenir, which was a figurine of Phil Esposito in Ranger ...

Shannon steps all over the answers and Landon is the less interesting Ferraro but it’s still a good pod because they go into quite a bit of tangents which I like. Chickets has good interviews too and I have become a biz fan via his comedy stylings - the banter with Marchand for example. I like D ...

For those who don't get it he's speaking of Victor Wembanyama. The soon to be best player in the NBA (and if health is his friend perhaps top 5 all time) and an individual that EP40 would do well to emulate in terms of preparation of self for team and teammates. I haven’t cared about the nba in a w ...

Re new posters - sometimes I feel like I’m stepping into a bar in a new place in the middle of an argument that’s been going on for a long time and I just take my beer to the back. But it’s colourful! Re QH - assuming he hasn’t given ownership the warning that he won’t resign, I think there’s a path ...

Labate is at least a center and showed pretty well at camp. PDG has merits as a winger but I guess Raty is ahead of him. I’d just as soon see what the Abby line can do with a bit more responsibility, the chemistry is palpable. Karlsson is a devious offensive forward. I’ve not heard of this def ...

Middlestat is like middling stats. I’ve been trying to will a Crosby for Willander trade into existence but my magic game is weak

So Chytil and Bluegar are out.

Do the Canucks take Konkatiemi off Carolina’s hands? He has been painfully bad but does have provenance and is only 25

Nurse is better when Stetcher is with him but coaches don’t want to play him for whatever reason

They looked fast! Just need a little depth. Hopefully Sidney Crosby was watching and did the pointing at the tv thing while calling Pat Brisson to go ahead and make the call

How dare you, I’m not cool and never will be!

If Pettersson does not recover form then he is a boat anchor contract. That doesn’t guarantee Hughes leaving - maybe he likes the challenge of being captain, of leading a franchise that still hasn’t won - but surely it’s significant.

Thanks for the locker room info HW

Dhali says Suter is talking about re-upping.

I’m seeing a Buffalo trade somewhere. Apparently Dahlin and Petey are buddies. 1. Tuch’s wife is from Vancouver. 2. Byram is from Vancouver, flip them Hronek 3. Peterka is an RFA and wants to be shown the money 3. Benson is from Vancouver, flip them Hoglander 4. Norris - Quinn’s buddy Etc. Etc. Etc. ...

One thing I can see being attractive about Vancouver's lack of scoring forward depth is that college and Euro free agents may see a relatively direct path to the Show. Or is this too optimistic? I don't really know any free agents, but the Canucks signing one gave me the thought
