yeah well if I hadn't seen them floundering around the ice in Penticton I wouldn't know who they were either.

Sorry, I was mistaken. Fronk couldn't skate but he was only 6 foot 2. The really tall guy who couldn't skate was Axel Blomquist. I see they are both with Tulsa now.

hee hee, I know that's a fair comment, given my ignorance of Ville Pokka, but yes, of course I know who Kyle Connor is. If the Jets actually draft someone, especially first round, I take the time to have a look at them. Just as I also know who Jack Roslovic and Jansen Harkins are. I actually went to one of the Jets games here in Penticton at the "Young Stars" tournament in September, and was saddened to see how much they stunk, given they had Lemieux, Ehlers, Petan, Helle, and De Leo playing. They also had some guy named Fronk playing who was about 8 feet tall and could barely skate. It's too bad that the NCAA picks can't play in that tournament. It would have been nice to see Connor and some of the NCAA Yanks playing for the Jets in that game.

If they send Pavs down to the Moose (I know, they won't) would he clear waivers? I think he might.

imagine him playing with Marko Dano, Auston Mathews and Ville Pokka!

Here's the kind of tank we'd get...

well, there goes my pool This does help the tank though. Does Petan get called up now?

ok, well you do that. I'll stick to trading him for players that are actually proven, and who I might have heard of. EDIT - oh wait, I missed the sarcasm, my fault. I'm only trading Myers to Edmonton for Taylor Hall. Hee hee...

yeah, this falls under the "seemed like a good idea at the time" category, until something goes horribly wrong, and given its the Jets, it would be horribly wrong for us.

I doubt the Islanders give up Hamonic for Ladd unless they think they can sign him long term. Now of course, if we threw in Myers into the deal...

From your posts you seem to be willing to give up Myers for almost anybody, at the drop of the hat. Not getting that. Enstrom on the other hand...

I actually remembered that I had heard of him. I also remembered that he didn't really blow me away at the WJC either. You do have a much better grasp on junior prospects, I will give you that.

I think you mean Cha Ching. Ching Ching was a panda. I think. Unless you want the Jets to get a panda in exchange for Ladd. Which would be kind of cool, I guess.

Maybe after all of this president nonsense is over and Trump finally quits (knock on wood) he can buy a CFL franchise. He used to own a USFL franchise back in the day, the New Jersey Generals I believe. I can see Trump being interviewed after the games. "This is just terrible. We lose to Regina. We lose to Ottawa. We lose to Calgary. It's time we start making this team great again. Time to start winning".

Time for Poop to walk the plank. I wonder if Taman can speak French? I wonder if they have Subway in Montreal?

my property taxes are actually pretty low. Camping trips...now you're talkin'.

LOL - revenge sex with the CFL - wow so many analogies...head exploding...

at least for the one game a year when the Bombers were playing anyway.

that's a lot to give up for two dudes I've never heard of.

http://panthers.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8477422 What about this guy? McCoshen looks good too. If they get Pirri and a first on top of that then it's good to go.

my minds not totally closed to the idea, but I think the issue for a lot of us was the ignorance of the post that started all of this. To even suggest playing by NFL rules while in the US just kind of killed it for me. That being said, if they can work around the issues like the ratio and the salary cap, have at er. Put a team in St. Louis. At $20 USD a ticket, if they can get 30,000 fans to show up that's still a good pay day, especially when converted to Canadian. And who knows what having a US team in the league might do for ESPN's ratings.

I love it when Toby is in the corner with the puck and someone from the other team lightly bumps him and he hands them the puck and skates away. Favorite move by far.

I don't think that certain areas of Canada are much different. I stopped in Chilliwack this summer on my way home from Vancouver to catch the Bombers Lions game at Mr. Mikes. I asked them if they could put the football game on in the lounge area and they put on a soccer game. I said No, the LIONS football game, and they looked at me like I was from Mars. I am in BC, only an hour out of Vancouver, and no one in the entire serving staff had heard of the Lions CFL team. So I had to take the controller, change the channel to TSN, and show them what a LIONS football game looked like. And then I had to tell a table full of old coots to shut up because they were mad that ONE single TV in the lounge with 10 TV's wasn't on the Blue Jays. Argh there is a lot of truth to the phrase "BC sucks".

the first thing he has to do is get separated financially from his weasely parents. Man I couldn't imagine being in a fight like this with my parents. It would hurt like nothing else. And it sounds like they have zero remorse which is really bad. Sell off the assets, including the Ferrari, pay down what you can, and move on. This poor guy is probably only going to have what he makes in the last five years of his career left at the end of the day.

any hope that Bowman saw something last night?
