Anyone who thinks Pav is to blame in these games doesn't understand hockey. Period.

They have been actively trying to win (one of the few who are) and were 5-1-1 before Anaheim.

Peach is a GREAT depth guy, but if he's starting for you, your line isn't good enough. 17to85 and I were saying that we'd love to see a big breakout year for Jake Thomas this year. Fully expecting Vega to play more like the NFL-level talent that he is, in 2015, and will chalk 2014 up to playing injured/

I'm expecting a bounce back year from Vega. I think (hope) his problems last year were due to playing hurt.

Again, as with the blog, it's highly sanitized with zero hard news content. I'm trying to figure what, exactly, the team gains from all this....is there anyone out there (even casual-at-best fans) that enjoys this stuff?

Watch for DC's blog on this in a couple days...

No, phone hearing, which generally means 2 or less...

hearing is tomorrow...as per Sportsnet.

Button figures at least a couple games for the crosscheck to the neck of TJ Miller...

I've said all along that I have a hard time believing Kyle Walters would be this transparent about their draft plans...

Pretty much my entire reason for existing, right there...I thought it was to agree with everything 17to85 says... Oh Christ, no...that guy's an *******...

There's a good point -- because I really don't think he is. He's using *A* blog to give us the team's PR spin dressed up as *HIS* blog giving us his thoughts. The point is, if you're not going to give us something we aren't already getting elsewhere, then why bother at all?

I like to reiterate my point until people start agreeing. Something about beating everyone into submission...

I'm not sure I got anything out of this blog post that wasn't in the initial Draft-related article Tait did like 3 weeks ago. I fully respect that the team can't really divulge inside information, but then........what's the point of just regurgitating stuff we already know?

Yikes...some tough numbers, for sure. Not likely to get much of a look at the draft, but again, if he goes undrafted, I definitely bring him to camp.

Should we shrink the field and add an extra down as well? Maybe play with one less player per side? **** off with the NFL bullshit. NFL bullshit aside, is there a safety concern?

Tough 1st period. Took it to em and owned the pace, but a PP goal from a damn good PP unit gets the Hawks on the board first.

Does Buff seem like the guy who likes the attention that comes from being the face of a franchise?? You guys are putting way too much weight into fan support being a determining factor. If we've learned nothing else, we've learned that most NHLers want to go somewhere that they're not noticed. They want to leave the rink and be able to hide from the world. This is why Winnipeg is in the Top 5 NTC markets...

Glad Buff's back, but curious how healthy he actually is....

Meanwhile, bitching about these jagoffs on a messageboard (...yet again...) is not only making us look like assholes, but continues to give them the attention they so desperately crave.

Never watched the show, but saw the first movie and enjoyed it...

Not even HS. I think they said he hadn't played since he was about 12.
