  1. Well they didn't stop going to the Olympics because of the world cup because the world cup was around b4. I'd imagine they said no to the Olympics because it's in Korea and not far from there is a crazy little man who is crazy enough to start crap during the winter Olympics. Basically no hockey at all in Korea also so they gain nothing by going they will go to China in 2022 tho.
  2. Draft is Sunday so this is a comment one would almost expect cuz right now he's not a bomber and perhaps never will be.. think he's still our first pick but whether that's 1st 2nd 3rd 4th overall remains to be seen and I'd imagine, could be wrong but perhaps there's a difference in cash If he's drafted 1st 4th or 6th.
  3. Doubt they are the nordiques anytime soon. Normally it's a less obvious team. Think Florida or something like that for QC
  4. The World Championship you mean and he has no say as its not an NHL event
  5. I smoke also but really don't care about the policy at all. It really doesn't bother me. What does tho is people telling me I can't smoke outside on a downtown sidewalk owned by the city. Regardless whatever. Ppl on twitter seem to have more problems with the BS reasons true north used to implement the policy than the policy itself. And those saying they will give up their tickets? Lol at those fools really. Guess smoking outside and getting cheaper beer is more important to them than the hockey game so basically **** those people.
  6. Your theory is wrong. Bottom line there will be no superstars to pick. There will be lots of 3rd and 4th line players and maybe a couple 2nd line guys available but the guys making big money all have no trade or no move clauses and will be protected. But don't kid yourself here if a good player making 5 6 million a year was available they'd be stupid not to pick him. Jets .. buff gets 7.5 Scheif is 6.125 Wheels Around 5 . So Is little 4.5 million is nothing
  7. Yes. They still have to take 30 players 23 man roster so they could take guys who maybe they can trade for picks or something A popular thought is they draft Raanta from the NYR. He's a goalie but because they have 2 draft 2 other goalies they trade him to WPG for lets say a 3rd and prospect who can play in the Ahl or maybe a guy In junior or ncaa or even Russia still
  8. Malkin is also a center tho and ovi is a winger. Bit of a difference. Like I said tho Ovi isnt the only problem there. Laine is not similar to ovi at all actually. Minus the obvious one timer but Laine at 18 was more of a playmaker than ovi ever was.
  9. Russian NHL players... you just can't build a team around and be successful cuz they don't care enough. It's how it is. Ppl can talk malkin but without Sid he's not as good. Russians don't grow up dreaming of winning Stanley cups. Canadians Americans even Swedes and Finns do. Ovi isn't the only problem tho in Washington and that contract is untradable
  10. BTW Vegas signed a Russian. Weird that the insider didn't report It.
  11. He was never really an insider tho. He was just a guy with a radio show pretty much. You put him on this pedestal for some reason but reality is he broke as many stories about the Jets as you or I did.
  12. If he was such an insider of the Jets like you'd like to believe he wouldn't be leaving. His CFL knowledge was strong. His NHL and Jets knowledge was lacking. Personally don't care. Not sure why u get your panties in a bunch ovee these things tho.
  13. DL is first. 6th could be a flyer on a NFL guy. Don't see them going receiver as they start just 1.
  14. The release on DL Tennant a few days ago made this quite obvious that they were taking a DL first
  15. The sidewalk is private property? That's news to me. Quick go tell all those ppl waiting for the bus to put their smokes out.
  16. Thing with Penton He Was let go a while ago now and is still unemployed. Makes you wonder there a bit.
  17. I will admit that the last game we went to we did go to citi place during intermission to use the bathroom as it was actually much quicker. Problem I guess I see is MTS has 15000 and a few hundred or so seats yet it's not really big enough to hold that many ppl... there are only so many bathrooms and so much space. I do think because a vocal minority will complain that they probably will find a spot for smokers. Like the bombers set up. It's possible to do that on Graham for sure. Just a temp fence set up thing.
  18. I think the bombers will have lots of Faith in their first overall pick.
  19. So I guess Lawless will have to learn the Vegas expansion draft rules now cuz listening to H and L... he had no clue. His CFL reporting will be missed. His NHL reporting? Not as much as despite the fact that someone tends to pretty much die on the hill for Lawless his lack of knowledge was quite apparent at times and for a guy whose Job was to actually know sports... he had very little clue actually. Will I miss him? Nope. I'll barely notice he's gone because in this day and age.... radio and print media are going the way of the dodo and so was Gary Lawless and like Ed Tait who was missed more... he realizes it's going away also.
  20. Every arena in the league now except Toronto does this. Makes no difference really. People just love to complain. Someone did the math on twitter and say it roughly is going to "cause problems " for 1000 people per game. So Vocal MINORITY
  21. Put it at a 1 percent chance. Someone gonna overpay big time for him. He's a good goalie but only way I'm interested is if he signs 3 years. He won't tho.
  22. It's possible. Depends on the price. Also depends on who is available that they like. They won't trade in to the top 3. Cuz they just won't. Not worth it to pay the price. It also depends on who they like... perhaps they like 2 or 3 guys who they feel will be there at 13. I dunno. Normally I'd say go BPA also Cuz you aren't drafting for now you are drafting for the future but this time I guess I'll say I hope they draft BDA. Left or right is really irrelevant to me.
  23. Glass is very Scheifele like... strong work ethic and late blooming. I feel whoever takes him will be getting the best player from this draft in 3 or 4 seasons. Patrick or Hischier might be the best 2 right now but in a few years I'd put money on Glass being the better player Think Glass Heiskanen Brannstrom are the guys who may turn out to be the best players in this draft. Really hope one of Heiskanen or Brannstrom fall. Think Brannstrom will. Heiskanen? Not a chance.
  24. I hope that this lottery tho proves that tanking isn't the way to go. Team ranked 13 got pick 2. The other 2 were also outside the top 5. So next time you hope the Jets tank... keep in mind 1 or 2 more wins and we are in phillys 13th position and after the lottery picking 2nd. Not sure how anyone could feel for Colorado who have 3 top 3 picks on their team in Mackinnon 1 overall landeskog 2nd overall and Duchene 3rd overall. Vancouver? Lil bit but they tanked on purpose so I can't feel sorry for them Sucked most for Arizona tho... they dropped the most I think.... but can't feel for them cuz quite honestly they don't deserve to have a team
