He was running way ahead in the polls, until he opened his mouth. That ended that.

I think that the anti-Harper crew have to play any card they have in the deck. In 2011 all I heard was that Harper was a Nazi who was going to make abortion and gay marriage illegal and stack the Supreme Court with right wing judges. Well none of that happened. They can't really say their guy is going to do a better job of managing the economy (well they can try, but no one is going to believe it) so all they have left is the fear card. According to the polls not too many are buying this. This new security bill is a bit of a head-scratcher. I don't now why Harper is doing this right now, but I guess I have nothing to hide so I don't really care.

The thought of Justin Trudeau representing Canada on the world stage, and being the guy who has to stare down people like Putin. Yikes. Talk about a boy among men.

LOL

there was definitely an audible gasp in the theatre, that's for sure.

OK thanks.

Now you know why the Buffalo GM looked like someone shot his dog and punched his grandma in his interview after the draft. That kid could single-handedly turn Buffalo from suck to blow, much like a young Dale Hawerchuk did for the Jets in 1981.

Rockets win in 5. On to the Wheaties! Go Rockets go! So if I hit up a Rockets/Wheat Kings game, who are some of the players on the WKs to watch?

Petan could also be a a Tyler Johnson clone too.

Why did BC let this guy go?

Mosquitoes? Monarchs, Voyageurs, Chipmans?

ok, so I went to the Rockets-Winterhawks game last night. My impressions: It wasn't a very high scoring game, as the Rockets won 2-1 in OT. Petan scored with 3 minutes left to tie it up and send it to OT. Petan sure looks small out there, but he sure is a leader. He has amazing hockey sense, he seems to always be where the puck ends up. Is he too small to play in the NHL? When I look at Anaheim, I think "maybe". He should have a long career in hockey, even if it ends up being in Europe. Chase De Leo didn't impress me at all. Seems to be the same size as Petan, or only slightly bigger. Petan was a threat to score on almost every shift, while DeLeo was invisible. Not sure what the Jets scouts saw in him, other than he seems to be a good skater? Bittner is big, like HUGE, and he can skate, though he didn't do much last night. I would draft him, he has the size I think to develop into an NHL'er, third or fourth line. Morrissey - wow oh wow. He's going to be a good one. Just so smooth out there. Reminded me of Bourque, Niedermeyer and Coffey, when he would just take the puck and smoothly just move up the ice before landing a beauty pass on a forward's stick or going in for the shot himself. I am hoping we see him in a Jets jersey for a long long time. Only other comment - if Nick Merkley of the Rockets is still available at our first round pick, I'd take him over Bittner. If we could get both of them with our two first round picks, I would be happy. Merkley is so strong with the puck. Well worth taking a chance on him. EDIT: Forgot to add - Winnipeg's own Madison Bowey hit a Winterhawk so hard that he put him ass over tea kettle into the space between the benches. That guy is going to be a good one too.

Kind of like the Brock Ralph groan...when he'd run for out of bounds two yards before the marker rather than take a hit...or just plain not bother to try and catch the ball.

and he can shoot a puck clear over them mountains...

Ouch, takes a shot at poor old Alex. Sometimes, though the pun is right there, it's sometimes better left unsaid...

Great - throw in Ladd, Little, Buff, Hutch, Myers and Morrissey and our first round picks for the next 20 years and you might have a starting point, at least according to some Oiler fans around here.

Well to be fair, they didn't have a hockey team in the NHL playoffs...what's that now? Oh...

I appreciate your weather prognostications. I was planning on wearing shorts right through to January, but now I will adjust my wardrobe accordingly.

I couldn't believe how much time Sportsnet devoted to the Leafs, even after the regular season was over. Blah blah blah...they suck...what more is there to say? I know that 50% of this country's population cheers for the Leafs so they have to pander to that base, but seriously, how much can be said about Phil Kessel that hasn't already been said?

What about Postma? Pardy? Clitsome?

I saw an update on my Jets app that Enstrom just had shoulder surgery. Ok. I will admit if he was playing hurt that I might have been a bit tough on him. It will be interesting to watch the Flames try to intimidate Anaheim like they did Vancouver. Ferland is just going to bounce off of the Ducks and fall over. I predict Ducks in 5.

The Beatles broke up????????? Say it ain't so, Joe... When did this happen????????? It was for the best. Ringo was carrying the other three guys and it was time he went out on his own to show who the real talent was. He's actually coming through Penticton in September, and bringing Oates from Hall and Oates and Garfunkel from Simon and Garfunkel.
