Thing about Ray, tho, is he's one of the best of all time....one of the smartest to ever play the game. Living legend. DurInt doesn't earn the same benefit of doubt.

that feels like a big steal by Columbus. Seth Jones is a beast...Johansen.....not sold.

There's not a single person on this board qualified to make an accurate ranking of the back-ups, so what's the point? Most people couldn't name half the back ups....

Anybody got the whole list to post here?

...and with Ray getting paid to start in 2016, we'll see what becomes of ol' TH....but I know I'm not convinced. For my money, it's an interchangeable list of Reilly, BLM, and Collaros......then Willy (when 100% healthy...rare, but when he is...) and Burris and Ray.....jury's out on what DurINT has left in the tank.

It's the sweetest thing....

ahhhh points....the sole determiner of a players' worth........

Man, it sure seems like a lot of people over-rating Harris. That second half of the season would terrify me if I'm his agent......

This is what happens when you **** the dog......Finland/Sweden the new World Jr powerhouses?

Next year's A Pool has Canada, Russia and USA in it......yikes!

Everything I've heard is that he's an ******* in business, but he's the ******* you want on your side. He doesn't take no for an answer and gets **** done. I know some people who quit because of him, but I know some people that say nothing but good things about his work with both Pinnacle and the WBB. Without knowing the sheer volume of work the guy has had to do since coming on board, it's impossible to say whether he's done a good job or not. One thing I know for sure: There is nobody on the planet who wants to win more than him.

that's really the shits to lose Howell....not as concerned about Miles, but that also sucks.....

It was almost like the Jets were on the tail end of a road trip and playing back to back nights...........or something...........

It'd be progress, and that's all I've been asking for....

It's not so much "not very good" as "really young". This tournament is often referred to as a "19 Year Old's Tournament", and we are a mostly-18s team. On paper, talent doesn't seem to be the issue, but a lot of questions have been raised about cohesiveness and discipline. There appears to be a lot of guys without specific roles and not sure what's expected of them. Not sure if that's on coaching, or Hockey Canada, or what. At any rate, they're on pace for their worst finish since the 1998 Kazakhstan debacle...

Keep Drew Willy upright and healthy for most of 2016 and we make playoffs...no question.

I had to go to TEP......ugh. So ugly compared to this site.....

Paul Friesen ✔ @friesensunmedia Why is it news the Blue #Bombers are making a scheduled mortgage payment? Come to think of it, given their history, maybe it is. Right on cue...

Huge (literally) news....

I'm not ready to fire anyone till I see what they can do with all their resources available....

Merry Christmas, gang! Here's to that elusive Cup in 2016!

Discovered my new favourite thing last night. While using the mobile version, you now have the option of marking each individual forum "As Read", rather than having to mark the entire site as read. I love the option on the desktop version and had always wanted it for Mobile...so stoked that it now exists!

... and those who can't teach, teach Phys Ed....

Overrated and now laughably overpaid....too funny.
