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?

not anymore. Jets 1.0 seemed to be better at burning money than Bernie Sanders.

It's the CFL. What's a contract?

If we could get Taylor Hall out of Edmonton for Myers and Petan they should erect a statue of Chevy in every town and city in Manitoba. Now if we were talking about RNH on the other hand...

maybe we'll get a first this year after all!

Thank the tank! We'll get one of the few gems available I think.

yeesh, after watching Toby totally fumble around with the puck in his own end, I hope no one is studying Enstrom tonight.

as my thinking is pretty much two rolls of tape and a hockey stick I know I would be pleasantly surprised no matter what we got.

ok, sorry, didn't know that. Man you guys are pretty intense. Still, how about trading for him for the playoffs, and then dumping salary next year to keep him? I realize this is moot as no one is going to touch Enstrom, but there must be ways if you really wanted him.

So the Hawks can afford Ladd but can't afford Enstrom? Even as a rental?

What kind of salesman are you? The right attitude is "They can't afford NOT to have him"!

Hopefully Bowman spends a lot of time studying Enstrom tonight.

I didn't say he took too many. He just takes stupid penalties in the offensive zone. I watched him take a cross-checking penalty right in front of me at the Arizona game in the offensive zone for absolutely no reason, just cross-checked OEL right in the back. Granted OEL went down like a wet noodle and cried out like a baby, but it was just dumb. Anyway, Ladd is a good player, which is why his trade value right now is so high. He'd bolster anybody's team for a playoff run, especially when the refs aren't calling the chicken **** cross checking crap in front of the net that Ladd gets dinged for all too often.

I'm right about what? I didn't say he was a terrible hockey player. I think you are over-reacting a bit here.

I still don't understand why Kyle Connor wasn't on that US world Junior team. Makes no sense.

http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=221667 This guy appears to be ranked ahead of Matthews on some sites. Never heard of him either.

You shouldn't have used the plural. Just one person.

nope. Oh wait, I think I saw him playing for the US at the World Juniors. Looked good, but not good enough to give up Trouba or Myers to get him. Sorry.

whoopity do. Whoever this kid you are talking about is, not giving up Trouba to move up to get him.

ok - why? Who?

Matthews who?

this is kind of a moot point unless we all agree on who would go first overall. Who is the hottest prospect this year?
