  1. Yeah they have been better, Halak played for Montreal and the Blues, while Hiller spent his career with the Ducks. You don't think that makes a difference? Talking save percentage. Not goals against average. So? Quality of shots against makes a difference... a goalie playing for Edmonton will naturally have a lower save percentage than one playing for Anaheim. Just common sense.

  3. The term "league average goalie" keeps getting tossed around. What's the criteria? Greater than a certain save percentage? What's the mark?
  4. I wonder if we could snag Kienan Lafrance in the 4th round. That would be a great pickup.
  5. How does one go about becoming a professional wrestler?
  6. With Stoudermire, Randle, and Bucknor, there is just no room for Burnett. Maybe at field HB he would have a shot at replacing Bruce Johnson but IIRC the Esks tried Burnett at HB and it didn't work out. He will sign with Ottawa.
  7. I honestly think Peach is the better DE. I believe he could put up double digit sacks in Richie Hall's system.
  8. Harrison has demonstrated multiple times he is a defensive liability in our own zone. Just because a guy isn't good offensively doesn't mean he is good defensively. Sometimes a guy just isn't that good. Harrison is a fine 7th D-man but he's not taking anyone's job.
  9. We already have lots of American DL. I wouldn't expect too many more on the roster before training camp unless they are planning on cutting some loose. Maybe 2 or 3 new ones. I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if Peach is still starting for us, but Vega's spot should be up for grabs.
  10. Could we perhaps move the 15th for two of Calgary's third rounders? Would this be a sound decision?
  11. Nobody is judging him by one play, it's just a funny video that had to be posted. It is one of the first things that comes up on Google when you search his name.
  12. In what universe did Byfuglien have one side defended??? He was out of the play. Being able to tap a guy with the end of your stick from 3 feet behind doesn't mean one side is defended.
  13. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the club has signed International offensive tackle Zebrie Sanders. Sanders (6-6, 320, Florida State, December 4, 1989 in Columbia, South Carolina) was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 5th round of the 2012 NFL Draft, after spending from four seasons with the Florida State Seminoles. He was on the Bills injured list in 2012 and was released in training camp of 2013. Sanders started 50 career games at Florida State, the second most in the history of the school. He was selected All-ACC Conference as a senior in 2011.
  14. Definitely not a Pavelec supporter myself but gbill you clearly do not understand what it means when people say a goalie is out of position. If a goalie bites on a deke on a breakaway, that is not the time to say he was out of position. That is just not the correct use of that term.
  15. I thought it was fantastic from start to finish. The ending was incredible. That was a really, really good Wrestlemania.
  16. C'est incroyable
  17. Never mind "hit of the year", Byfuglien has the whole "top 5 hits of the year" locked up.... maybe top 10.
  18. Last year's draft was extremely very weak for all positions. Teams need to restock across the board. It will come down to supply and demand. Is the top tier of OL that much better than the second tier this year? We'll see. But the drop off from the top 3 receivers to the rest could be huge, so teams will want to jump on them early.
  19. Everything changes after the main combine. That's when you see guys like Henoc Muamba and Mike Edem shoot up everyone's draft board. I have a feeling the first round won't be anywhere near as OL-heavy as people might think. The Bombers will have a great shot at a top 5 OL with the 11th pick and they should use the second overall on Nic Demski.
  20. Still seems a little pricey to me. I'm like you in that I generally only watch the big PPVs. But I also usually share the costs of those with other people. If that is not an option for you then 11.99 is not so bad. I would probably also watch the other PPVs if I had the WWE network so as long as you watch those you are getting your money's worth. I'd also like to see more NXT so that would be a bonus. If it was like 5.99, I would be all over it.
  21. Just so everyone knows, teams and the league are under no obligation to report when players enter drug rehab. Several players enter rehab throughout the league each year and it never gets reported by anyone. It is actually part of their bylaws that they do NOT report this kind of thing as it is believed that allowing these problems to go public can actually make an addiction issue far worse.
  22. You have an entire generation who grew up with no parents thanks to residential schools. Did you grow up with anyone whose parents weren't around? How did they end up? Now apply that to an entire race for a generation. Now that generation has kids and have no idea how to raise them because they had no parents themselves. And the cycle continues. So who is supposed to step up and lead them? I agree that it has to be natives who lead natives and make the changes. But it is going to take a remarkable person or group of people to lead them, and it might be awhile until that happens because of the long term damage that has been done to their people.
  23. Not terrible. I live in a 7th floor 1BR condo in the south end... About 700 sq feet, no river view. I rent so I don't have to worry about condo fees but my neighbors tell me the fees are around 250. There is no gym or home phone but that includes everything else. Yours seems slightly high but sounds like a nicer place. If you have underground parking I'd say the fees are pretty reasonable. If not, still not so bad. Personally I would never purchase a condo but that's just a preference on my part.
  24. Those prices seem quite reasonable. I wouldn't even think twice.
