actually surprised people aren't higher on Lawson.... this is a HUGE signing. The kid is very very good. He's as good or better than Jake ever was (and I say that as a really big fan of Fatboi)... if we can get Mason Bennett in there to rotate next year, that's a great 1-2 punch of NI NTs along the line...

this should be someone's signature.... just keep this direct quote around for awhile.

this is all it's about... JR knows it as well as anyone, and is just trying to help sell season tickets.

This is such a big thing over there right now. They are DESPERATE to turn the tide on that rapidly sliding attendance, so the whole league has been trying to blow smoke up their ass so the casuals, which make up the large majority of their fan base, start coming back ..

I had a nice chuckle over some Jon Ryan quotes on CKRM today....

I think a LOT of these guys want to be a part of the home town GC game....

That breakup on the goal line at the end of regulation will live in infamy.

I remember thinking at the time that he was going to be like Ryan Nugent Hopkins. Not a "generational" player, but a VERY good Top 6 C in the NHL....

he had injury problems going back to his Brandon time and there was talk at that draft about how much it would affect his draft ranking...

We are all very aware of how bad the QBing across the league is right now...

Yeah, Alford isn't coming back any time soon...

this. Patrick was a really good player for the Wheaties.... injuries just derailed what would have been a productive NHL career. BIG difference between him and guys like Daigle, Yak and PoolParty...

Good for him... best of luck!

he hit that sideline pass to Darvin, for sure... never forget that. But man, when you try to think of Collaros playoff highlights...... drawing a lot of blanks.

Collaros has never been particularly special in any GC game for us...... and I say that as a massive Zach Collaros fan.

what did he do in that game that was special? That game was Andrew Harris and Chris Streveler and the Defense... People can talk about Collaros playoff performances (and I tend to agree) but this past season, he also started to show a lot of knicks in the armour.... there were games where he just didn't look like himself. Literally throwing the game away. Sure he had a couple really good ones.... tearing BC a new ******* in the second game against them at IGF comes to mind..... but there were more "off" games this year than we've seen since he arrived. There is every reason to be concerned that he's on a downhill slope...

💯💯💯💯

does 2025 ZC give us that best chance? Not saying that anything you wrote is wrong.... but..... Just my 1992 Danny Mac .02......

I actually thought Kramdi got better as the season went along... by the end he was a more than solid contributor. I've got high hopes he can take another step next season...

I mean, you either ******* care about the team legitimately or you don't.............

21 years experience.........They really need to hire me to host these damn things.... Just throwing that out there, Ed and Darren!

and last year was the first time we've really questioned him, so it's possible that he was playing through an injury or something and last year was just an aberration... it's at least POSSIBLE that next year he's back to being absolutely dominant again.
