    That's why I told you to go watch the kid actually play. The media likes to parrot this idea that the Oilers players are all a bunch of pansies who couldn't find their own end of the rink if they had a map, it's just not true at all. RNH especially is a very responsible two way centre who back checks hard and makes a lot of plays defensively. Has since his 2nd year in the league. That's why his offense hasn't ever matched his pace in his rookie year. In his rookie year he was sheltered and could just play O, ever since then though he's had to be the guy to match other teams top lines. Did you know that last season teams started to match their best players away from RNH? Do you think soft floaters get hurt blocking shots like RNH did? Since you like sportsnets anaylsis maybe go dig up the pre-game bit they did last night showing the highlight pack of RNH busting his ass to break up plays on the back check and their conversation about how the Oilers will miss him defensively more than anything... and lo and behold they gave up 6 goals last night with him out of the line up. He is the most chippy of the forwards Edmonton has drafted. Eberle sure he's a softer player but RNH ain't and never has been. He was skinny when he was drafted but he's up to a pretty average weight now. 

    Alright.....  Anyway IMO and it seems others hes a softer type player. I dont really think he fits our style of play. And trading Myers for him is a bad move i think.

    RNH is a gifted, two-way 1C.

    Myers is a soft, 2RHD.

    I don't dislike Myers, I like him. He can't help it that Trouba and Buff are better.

    Whats this even mean?  

    You can have all 3 yano.   lol

    And its a contract like his that allows you to do it. Its why we wont be trading him.

    I know Myers is soft, one of the reasons I'd trade him.

    I think we would have to add to Myers to get RNH.

    Ladd RNH Little

    Perreault or Armia or Ehlers with Scheifele and Wheeler

    Would look nice as our 1st and 2nd lines.

    Seems to me anyway youd trade Myers for no other reason then you dont like him.

    Big young strong kid that can skate and move the puck with a great contract... Pretty much what you want. We wont trade that away.

    And we really wont trade him for a guy like RNH.....  Hes a floater and hes soft. He doesent fit our style of play at all.

    When I Googled & looked for some mention after seeing Ducky's post, I couldn't find anything.

    Closest thing I found was an interesting note that apparently EDM offered RNH to Nash for Seth Jones, but they liked Johansen better.

    Chevy never says anything so it aint coming from here. And like i said we wont be dealing Myers. I just dont see that happening at all.

    I'd rather have all four of them but if I had to pick only two, Myers would be the odd man out....Buff was playing hurt tonight and was on the ice for 27:46.... is that enough emotional and physical involvement? Re-sign Buff. Trade Myers and Petan or something for Hamonic. Trouba-Buff and Hamonic-Enstrom isn't bad.

    I'd say Scheif more than Trouba or Lowry deserves a long term deal but I wouldn't sign any of those 3 to one. Offer them 2 year deals that are fair...Scheif gets 3.75 and 4.25...Trouba gets the same and Lowry gets 3.75 a year for two years...tell them to show how much they are worth for 2 years and guarantee them you will pay them what they are worth.

    Trade Ladd and a high pick and whatever else we need for a solid LHD, I won't be sad to see him leave.

    Seems like a horrible plan.

    Lemmy and Bowie. And this **** always comes in threes, who's next?

    The amazing thing about Bowie's death is that I'm not seeing any haters yapping online. Seems like everyone loved Bowie. His passing made news even on the metal websites I frequent, and all the metalheads were as bummed out as everyone else.

    I know these guys are rock stars but Bowie's death hit me hard. Growing up the one thing he brought to our lives is it didnt matter what kinda music you were into he did it all and could bring people together that may have not had things in common.

    From the Christmas show with Bing Crosby to the wild n crazy Ziggy Stardust to the mainstream Bowie.... It is all freaking awesome.

    The man that fell to earth has returned to the stars.

  7. I'm sure that's very true but why did it seem quicker and more efficient before sub contracting. Why is that?

     

    Cant really answer that. I dont think it was. The City is also getting bigger.

     

    There are also things now like school zones that need to be done first.

     

    Like i said every snow fall is different to how its done. It might seem longer but i really doubt it is. It has nothing to do with sub contracting it out.

  8. Alot more goes into cleaning the city of snow then just a bunch of plows running around.

     

    Even the day of the week effects how its done. Simple reason as to why they arnt out the second it snows is it takes time for the snow to build up lol what would be the sense of them driving around waiting? Plus they dont go out till atleast 5mm has fallen. 

     

    Some lanes get done before streets because of garbage routes among other things.

     

    Every snow fall needs a different plan as to starting and ending. Its way harder then youd think.

  9. Helle had no chance on 3 maybe all 4. He made several huge saves especially in the third. I'm not sure that the jets deserved to win cuz cbj outplayed them badly after tge first. Not many shots for cbj but the ones they did have were grade A stuff. I'd play helle tomorrow cuz basically if hutch plays tonight we lose. As for helle will be back with the moose when pav is back.... highly doubt it. He's better than both hutch and pav. Positionally and in every other aspect. Pav and Hutch are below average nhl goalies. Helle is better than nhl average. Yup. 4 goals against but like I said had no chance on 3 if not all 4 of them. Hutch or pav play... we lose.

    Pav has been the biggest problem on this team since they have been here. He has 1 or 2 good stretches during the season but sucks the rest of the time. What might happen is pav is traded or bought out in the off season.

     

    We won...  But we shouldn't have cause we arnt good?  We shouldn't win?

  10. LOL. Peluso and Thorburn were taking rotating stupid moron selfish idiot penalties for a point last night, Peluso should sit tonight and Armia should dress, that was just a dumb dumb penalty he took, really it was just an awful shift... gives the puck away at the Caps  blue line... gets mad, takes a dumb penalty that is totally avoidable, Caps score. Peluso should sit tonight... Thorburn? My god, how many penalties does he take a game, he should not be playing on the third line.. 

     

    4th line center? lol, Copp is the best player on that line by far... Armia is a winger, he's a RW actually. 

     

    Today is the perfect time to play him and sit peluso... move thorburn to the 4th line

     

    Lowry,Copp,Thorburn

     

    Ehlers,Burmi,Armia or Armia,Burmi,Ehlers. Irrelevant really where the guy plays but it has to be one of the wings

     

    Time for Maurice to send a message to these plugs and that's what they are, they are plugs, they are non skilled plugs who basically, if they don't take a penalty, that's a good game for them.. If they do, and yesterday both took dumb dumb penalties, they should sit the next game. Send a message that these selfish penalties are unacceptable. 

     

    And that's what those penalties were to Peluso especially and definitely the one to Thorburn near the Caps bench was just selfish and dumb, both those penalties cost the team. 

     

    And the worst part about Peluso penalty and I suppose context is important but to the viewer at home on TV or in person at the game, they cut to peluso on the bench after the caps scored, after he got back to the bench, he sat down next to lowry and they were both showing laughing and smiling about something.

     

    Unacceptable. People talk about bomber players on the sidelines laughing and joking around when losing and say it's unacceptable... well, What Peluso and Lowry were doing after the Caps scored on Peluso's penalty, was ridiculous. 

     

    Your getting all excited and mad over nothing IMO.

     

    Its waaay to early in the season.

     

    I dont think trying to rush things and force things is the way to go. We started to get an identity last year and IMO we still are growing into it.

    "Pretty sick"  lol  In what way?  I assume you mean sick as in awesome.  Anyone intimating some sexual impropriety have serious issues.

     

    This particular girl was younger than average but there are many example of young people working.  Harry Smith and Tyson Kidd appeared in WWE at around the same age.  Sick bastards.

     

    Na i have no issues.

     

    Its creepy and sick IMO.

     

    Think a lil girl punching some dude in the nuts is all good? I dont... I guess i have issues.

     

    Yes.  I see no issue with it.  Ever been punched in the nuts by a little girl?  Or boy for that matter?  If you have siblings there was probably some nut punching in your life.  Jokes aside, she's an "athlete" growing up in this world.  If her parents had no problem with it and she had no problem with it, there is no problem. 

     

    Again, I cant tell you how to feel but I find it very odd that anyone would be creeped out watching that, especially wrestling fans. 

     

     

     

    Id never ever ever allow my daughter to do that...

     

    As for the sibling thing?  I hardly think its the same. Yes kids boys n girls do it and think its funny. But they are kids.

     

    Id not ever allow my daughter to be put on TV and say go punch that guy in the nuts so all these people can be entertained.

     

    You know im not a big fan of wrestling but i will click to it once in awhile for shits n giggles but to me thats not funny... Its jus weird n creepy. 

     

    That's a complete fair point (that you wouldnt allow your kid to do it).  Some parents wont allow their kids to take Karate.  Some wont allow them to play football.  Some wont allow them to do wrestling.  Its not a commentary on the quality of parenting when others do allow those things.  The girl in the video was better trained than many adult wrestlers I've seen.

     

    The Hart kids (along with many wrestling familes, Von Erich's, Samoan's etc) were play wrestling probably before they could walk.  And training properly as very young children.  Wayne Gretzky learned to skate when he was three years old (if I recall the story). 

     

    The difference here is that she performed in front of a large crowd rather than an empty training center.  And she did well.  And it was amusing and impressive. 

     

    And it generated tons of online interest as well as local media coverage.  I think there were two different youtube videos of the match that had over one million views each when the Winnipeg Sun contacted me about doing a story.

     

    I think our (PCW's) most watched youtube clip has about 16,000 views and wasnt anything as interesting as this match (it was three valet's playing Bikini Twister in the ring on one our shows).

     

     

    Sorry your missing my point.

     

    Id allow my kid do play and do any sports you mentioned. All of it is good for them.

     

    But id never allow anyone to say to my kid ... Go punch that dude in the nuts to entertain these people.

     

    Im not disagreeing with the kid being in a show like this. I do disagree with a 10 year old girl punching some guy in the nuts to entertain people. Thats just not right in my opinion.

     

    Would you or your wife allow that?  Would you tell or have someone else tell your daughter to go punch a guy in the nuts so all these people laugh?

     

    If the kids trained proper and can handle doing the moves its all fine. Leave the punching to the nuts out of it. Its weird and not necessary IMO. 

     

    In the correct context I would.  If my daughter grew up in the business and understood the context.  She wasnt fondling him.  I suspect this particular girl has seen her share of nut shots since wrestling is the family business.  It also depends on the kid.  And their understanding of "acting" and whatnot.  I wouldnt let her humiliate herself...which this girl did not do.  Fans were very respectful and impressed. 

     

    There was a lot of controversy over a movie Dakota Fanning did when she was 12 where she was raped.  A lot of people said they'd never let their kid do it.  Dakota's parents made a different decision.  And Dakota seemed to be very intelligent and well adjusted and understood the art of acting.  She seemed to get through the tough scene okay (we assume). 

     

    If the nut shot wasnt in this match, you'd be otherwise fine with it?  If so, I think we're pretty much on the same page.

     

     

    Yup id be fine with it.

     

    Your points are fair.

     

    I guess what im saying is if the idea is to show how good this little girl is and has been trained all her life a shot to the nuts is just not necessary to show her skills. You can show off her skill without that and also entertain the folks watching.

  15. Here's one for you guys.  You may or may not have seen.

     

    It's called the "Anywhere Match" or as I coined it locally, the "Cottage Country Match".   Some background:

     

    It was filmed in 2008 and features Kenny Omega vs Mike Angels with the referee being portrayed by Rawskillz.  Angels & Skillz were two local workers who were tremendously talented and very easily could have worked all over the world.  Angels did, in fact, do two tours of Japan.  Skillz retired shortly before this match was filmed.  Angels still works for us occasionally.

     

    Skillz called me up one morning and told me they were driving out to the cottage to film a video and invited me to come to provide some ideas.  I couldnt get out of work on short notice and also had no idea what they were doing.

     

    When the match was posted locally, some of the local guys reacted negatively.  There had been a small backlkash to guys like Kenny (and Angels and Skillz) for their "Japanese style" work.  It was pure jealousy though and when the truth came out, that talk stopped.

     

    And the truth is, there is a very talented guy in Japan named Kota Ibushi who was the "Anywhere Champion" in the DDT Promotion.  It was essentially like the WWE 24/7 title.  DDT wanted to promote an Ibushi vs Omega match and asked Kenny to film a hype video of him challenging for the Anywhere Championship.

     

    So this is what they came up with.  I know some American wrestling fans wont like it, but it was for the Japanese audience and was used on their TV to hype the match.  It was very well received.  The best part is, when Omega arrived in Japan, all anyone asked him about was Mike Angels.  They assumed the Canadian Anywhere Championship was a legit title defended here and that Angels was some huge Canadian star.  They were impressed when Omega admitted he and Angels were friends.  "Do you think you could convince him to come here?" they asked.  And that is how Angels got two tours of Japan without even trying.

     

    Rawskillz was probably even better than Angels.  Locally, Skillz' peak was 2005.  Im in the process of digitizing all my 2005 archives and watching them back now, we call it the Year of Skillz.  He was tremendous.  Had he remained in the business, I have no doubt he would be in Japan right now.  He was that good.

     

    Anyway...on to the match:

     

     

     

    ***Note, there is a sequel to this match but I couldnt immediately find it. 

     

    And for those wondering what we're talking about in relation to Omega vs a 9 year old girl, here is that match (there was also local media coverage at the time this hit 1m views on youtube):

    That just may be the most creepy thing ive ever seen. Pretty sick IMO.
