I know what I want him to do

Gillis is in tight with the ownership I'm thinking, Torts will be the fall guy hopefully. His careless selfish walk into the Flames dressing room started this mess. Playing the twins an extra five minutes a night at the ages of 33 tired them out badly, when you get tired you tend to get injured. Trust me I know.

I tend to think it's the opposite, Gillis has been here a long time and Torts was supposedly an FA-approved hire. I see Gillis being dumped because he's the GM and Torts only has had a year to put all his systems in place.

It'll be interesting to see what happens, both have done a sh!t job this year.

Torts will learn.

Don't be surprised if Gillis thinks Bo will be Kes's replacement. I heard an interview about three weeks ago suggesting Bo to be second line center.

Very few 19 year olds can step into full time 2C duties on their rookie season. I'd give him some more time.

Do you think FA will pay 16 mil to fire both of them and 4 more to buy out Booth?
- VANTEL


If he's smart he'll consider all his options. The team is worth almost half a BILLION dollars more than he bought it for. If he isn't open to spending chump change to keep things running smoothly, we're in an awful lose/lose situation as fans. Jerry Jones 2.0.

Aquilinis just bought top table restaurant group. Blue water, cin cin and west. They let Aramark go... Could be some solid food next year at Canucks games.

Hopefully he's better at menu selections than player and coach assessments.

I have a feeling it's going to be more along the lines of:

Sauteed Roadkill
Blood Sausage (soon to be part of the McDonalds Kids Meal)
Braised Yak Testicles (full sack included)
Barbequed Squirrel A*sholes
Spam
Hedgehog-on-a-stick

etc etc etc

Cool video. Two things I miss from F1 of the past: sparks from the titanium skid plates and the wail from the V10 engines.

I don't hate the sound of the new engines, but they are too quiet. Would have to hear them in person to judge how I truly feel about them.

I agree - actually, I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere else but Purdys (this is where we could really use Fosco and his vast knowledge of the magical world of the cocoa bean )
