sweep the leg

I'm assuming the friend that taught gbill about goaltending is also shaping his opinion on Buff.

Edmonton couldn't have had a much better week than they just had.

Buff's skating is fine. His straight line speed is very good. He doesn't have the quickest first step, but you can't expect that from a guy his size. A lack of quickness is exposed more at forward than on D.

I can't see Demski being available at 11. I think Richards will be though if we still want to go receiver there.

Buff's only regression this season was from Norris trophy level of play to his normal level. His points/gm avg. dipped slightly b/c he wasn't putting up any points as a forward. When he was back on D he was right on pace with previous seasons. I'd have no problem giving him an extension of 4-5 years.

I'd take Brayden.

I've been around. Stl 6 Min 1

Just read on twitter that he got in the neighbourhood of $220k from Ottawa. That was $80k higher than the next best offer from BC.

Hall & Eberle for Postma & our 2nd round pick. Maybe bump that up to our 2nd 1st rounder if St. Louis makes the Finals.

He was very good in game 2. I thought he was just ok in games 1 & 3.

I think we'll only start one rookie linebacker. I think Unamba probably has the inside track for the sam spot and we'll see a batte between Hurl & Newman for the wil position. They aren't exactly grizzled veterans, but they've got enough experience under their belts that they should (hopefully) be ready to take on starting roles. It's definitely the biggest question mark heading into camp though.

He had two plays over 55 yards last season.

Pretty sure Tburg's created an app that notifies him if there's a complaint about the media made here. I worry that he's trapped under something heavy if his standard "complaining about complainers" line isn't delivered within an hour of the first post.

Funny - no author shows up here, yet I'm willing to wager soooooooooooooooo much money that this was written by Wiecek. What a petulant ass. His article about Wylie also complained about this issue. They both came out on the same day...

The playoff rulebook has always bothered me. Is there another sport that changes its standard of officiating for the playoffs.

Is "tendy" something people say in Alberta?

So how are they going to screw this up?

Full acknowledgement that he shouldn't have done it, but... I thought the Scheifele penalty was weak. It was more push than punch. In a game that was played under prison rules that didn't look to be where the line in the sand should be.

I like the guys you mentioned, and I'm also interested to see David Mims. Walters said they've been trying to get this guy to Winnipeg for a few years now. Must be somewhat intriguing if they've kept him on the neg list that long. He's not new, but I'm excited to see what a healthy Thaddeus Gibson brings.

$7,600 in fines for all of that and 3 games for a coach punching a player. The good ole days...

I only watched the clip once but I thought it was a fairly light tap and a heck of a performance by the Sens player. . P Micro fracture in his wrist. Possibly out for the rest of the series

Nice. I remember his name from FA. You & a couple guys from riderfans were proponents of his. I'm a little surprised it took this long for a team to sign him.

Let's hear 'em. Jets in 7 Blues in 5 Preds in 6 Canucks in 7 Habs in 5 Bolts in 6 Rangers in 5 Caps in 6 My final is Stl vs Rangers

You are a much bigger man than me, sir. I watched him live in the game the Bombers won in BC and he just didn't seem to give a crap. But maybe that's just my untrained football eye. It's impossible to say for sure, but I always thought he was trying. He just wasn't very good any more...
