What does 1st overall get you anyway? Home ice in the final round of the playoffs? Right now all I care about is getting to Round 1 of the playoffs. Vancouver for many seasons ended up 1st overall (because they got to beat up on Calgary and Edmonton every year) and then crapped the bed in the playoffs most years, and ending up with crappy draft picks. I don't see the need to finish 1st over all other than for bragging rights, which really mean nothing.

right, the Admirals are from North Haverbrook.

at least now that pressure of competing with TB for first over all is off now....not that it was ever there in the first place except for one posters' insistence that it be a thing. As for Buff, he hasn't been right for a few games now. Watching him huff and puff out there last game before the injury was painful.

is that the Shelbyville Admirals?

ja wohl. Du sagst die Wahrheit.

Edmonton apparently needs a goalie, maybe we can work out a deal where we unload Little too and big up Roslo? Not sure who we'd want from Edmonton though. I don't think they'd part with Poolparty and everyone else there is grossly over-paid.

LOL - hey we have a goalie who just passed concussion protocol! What do we do? Let's fire pucks at his head in the morning skate! I still remember reading Don Cherry's book and how Hilliard Graves was always shooting pucks at the goalies' heads in warm-up because he had no control of his shot. I laughed because I remembered Graves played for Winnipeg and how much he stunk when he played for the Jets.

which Jets are we talking about here? Because I don't remember any playoff runs. As for Vegas, yup, time to put an adult in charge of the millennials and get a lot more professional. I still don't get what they were doing picking on the CFL.

Definitely will be a statement game as to what this team is really about. Last night was a classic Jets game (last two games actually) - get down early and then play from behind. That's a pattern that ends up in defeat a lot.

Fun fact - Brie Larson's grandparents lived in St. Boniface.

Rod Black?

Also helps to have a Baron on your ownership team.

and Kadri is a Muslim. So what?

ha ha yeah I saw Comrie following the team in to the locker room the other night and I honestly thought that was some teenage kid they were allowing to sit on the bench in goalie gear for some reason. Then I saw "Comrie" on his back and started laughing at my own stupidity. The CR I was drinking at the time probably also weighed into it...

not sure I get what this means....

Bill Baker - from Sherridon Manitoba. I know him personally and I agree, he's a hard guy to like. Great football player though. Ok - back to the left/right bickering. I will just add that I don't see how it helps to make all of this rape/sexual harrassment stuff political (I am trying hard not to do that myself) or about religion. It seems more about a culture that needs to be changed. I honestly don't understand what goes on in the minds of Roy Moore or Anthony Wiener, or what kind of perverse power trip you have to be on to text under-age girls pictures of your junk. It makes no sense to me. But clearly there is a problem, and we can only hope that the next generation figures this crap out. Because it has to stop.

I thought James Reimer was from Arborg?

That's a nice caddy!

Shoot for Reimer's glove hand! Unless he's improved a lot. Haven't seen him play since he left the Leafs.

why would anyone care about that?

I think Nick Nolte would look good in Blue and Gold again. Even with a nutjob as a HC in 2009 he still put a pretty good D on the field.

and he's got confidence. Pretty big intangible all good goalies have to have.
