Fair enough

If Milt is working for the CFL I'd be thrilled if he would do some appearances in the BC interior. I would even volunteer to be his chauffeur. I might even force down a Baconator. If I had to.

Good on the players and the organization for doing this. There's been so much to complain about in the past few years, and I am really proud to be a Bomber fan when I see the commitment of the players on and off the field like this. I remember when the Bombers came to my home town to play a broomball game. Even if most of the players were fringe guys it was all the community could talk about for weeks. Small things go a long way in the rural towns.

never mind

A band of merciless snowbirds! Ha! So you must have been down in Phoenix the same time as my parents...

http://www.imdb.com/list/ls002285183/ Man, there are a lot of disaster movies involving airplanes. We can keep losing well into the middle of next season without having to recycle.

I believe the nude woman in question was the hot wife of Ruxin in "the League".

No, I was thinking of that awful and dreadfully boring "the Grey". Exactly the scenario described in the OP (well sort of, replace Inuit with wolves). Flight of the Phoenix took place in a desert, I know, we had to read the book in Grade 11 and watch the Jimmy Stewart film adaptation.

Flight of the Phoenix took place in a desert. This version you describe seems more like a bad Liam Neeson movie (wait, is there a "good" Liam Neeson movie?)

He was the captain of Don Cherry's team against Tkachuk and Bobby Orr in the future prospects game this year. Apparently if you captain a future prospects team you are no good.

and when he scores 40 goals for the Oilers next year he'll be over-rated because he's playing with McDavid and Eberle. Hey, someone has to play with all of these super-stars. Meanwhile, Chychrun will suck with the Moose but that's ok because he plays LHD.

On this we can agree. When it comes to the Oilers I pay as little attention as possible.

I'd like to see Petan and/or DeLeo get a shot with the big club before the tank is complete.

Not Shenkarow, it was Gobuty.

Peluso is out.

I also see that he has 99 points in 51 games in the OHL this year, captained Team Bobby Orr at the top prospects and is ranked 4th overall in current scouting projections. But yeah, the only way I'd be more excited about this kid is if his name was Matthew Hawerchuk or Matthew Selanne.

the super-highway to NHL stardom.

we don't need no stinkin' goal scorer...

which is why I am wary of both Yak and Drouin.

I think Edmonton could really use Matthew Tkachuk.

or if drafted, there should have been some sort of study as to what was needed to make him a success, instead of just setting him up to fail. He needs a good play-making line-mate. Just like Seguin needs Benn. If you don't want Yakupov on a line with your best players then you are just wasting him, as he's not going to flourish on the 3rd line playing with pluggers. Imagine him coming to Winnipeg, and Maurice puts him on with Copp and Thorburn?

all right, I see I'm speaking Chinese and you're speaking Greek. I'll just leave this discussion now.
