Just until Benning does something great. Getting rid of Kesler was huge for me, but he hasn't done anything avatar worthy just yet.

Goalie graveyard indeed

meh ehlers or virtanen. I am okay with him at #6. Dude is a freak physically, only 2months older than Jack Eichel and is already 210 lbs. If he grows an inch and is gaming at 225 or so, look out. Will be deadly flying down that wing. Local to boot.
- anavar

I think he has some great attributes ( speed, shot , willingness to hit) but his size advantage in the WHL might be null in the NHL and him being local does absolutely nothing for me.

Who are some of the greatest Canucks?

I do actually love the AV's, loved when Lemieux and Sakic and Forsberg were running wild on the West. They won me some significant $ back in the day in my playoff pools. Bought be a new BBQ and everything!

Sakic was my favourite player growing up. I related more to Bert as a heftier kid but I always wanted to be like Burnaby Joe
Edit: pulled out my old Avs jersey for the playoffs this year. It was like a t-shirt

Benning has been proactive and decisive on every move. A huge A+ for me. I think if Tallon wasn't such a tard we could have had that #1 pick also. I bet Benning offered him a ton and he still wouldn't bite. I am not a huge fan of the Miller signing but he wanted Miller and he wentout and grabbed him.

Played against Sakic, one of my all-time favourites.

My only concern is that I'm getting the Glen Sather feeling, that Benning / Linden / Desjardins are going out and getting players that they had past glory with. It's sorry of '94 Rangers all over again.

Then again

Do you all really think Miller has no good years left?

how could say null, assuming he is 6'2 or so and 225 (a totally realistic goal) with that speed and shot? Saying that size is null with that speed is just stupid. How many players fit that profile?

Take that (frank)in picture down or I'll (frank)in snap!!!!!!!!!

A city's bankruptcy has nothing to do with a player's salary and Detroit has looked that way for decades. There's a shine that's starting to wear off on that organization. Not sure why.

Darcy Simon was my running mate...there's a clue for you

holy #$@#$ people still live in caves apparently? yah, and don't forget how Obama single-handedly took out Bin Ladin wearing his green lantern tights and then put Ladin's head on a pole and put it out on the White House front lawn (oh, also, Obama eats baby kittens and beats up seniors)
- Zogg

the kittens and seniors I knew about, but not the green lantern tights... that's just messed up...

That reminds me, anyone know if Jordan Subban grew at all this year?

Havent heard anything, saw a recent youtube highlight video and looked horribly small on the ice.

That is super homophobic dude

Read up:http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ssion_Accomplished_speech

and understand this started simply as a joke about Ryan Miller being the greatest American hero.
- smellmyfinger

and my point is Obama is no different than GW Bush on that front...

That reminds me, I know lots of the guys on here are from the island/northern BC. Just wondering how the cost of living is out there/work opportunities? I'm looking to gtfo out of the city. Too many kaptaans around
