Don't bother. I'm pretty sure I know where Mr. Field & Stream stands on the topic.

I have no problem with hunting rifles but there is no need to make semi-automatic, automatic, and any handgun available to the general public in a civilized world.

The USA needs to address it's inability to pass laws for licensing and screening. Many of those guns are available here... if you have restricted weapons license which is not hard to get. Pass a test and a back ground check is all.... you don't even have to have a clean criminal record... just no violent and drug related crimes.... in the last 5 years.

It's impossible to pass laws in the states. That is the bigger problem.

Thanks for those links Vantel.

Pretty interesting line combo's. Looks like Vey is getting the more talented linemates in a head to head with McCann.
Sutter's line looks about right to me as the pesky, checking line that he should thrive on.
Hutton getting the ultimate Sbisa test, if you can still look good with Sbisa as a linemate, you are ready for the NHL?
I also like that Hamhuis and Bartkowski are getting a shot together.

My high school coach was the Canadian Team No 8. Gary Johnston

We probably know each other, he was my high school coach too... Though I think you are a few years older.

Edit, yup, you're definitely an old timer compared to me

Wow, you've been on the island forever. You're still there aren't you?

After winning BC championship did you get to play some sort of nationals?

Granted, the Dutch league where Weise played is at the very bottom of the world professional league totem. I think they're ranked lower than the Asian League even

No argument from me on the above. And to be honest I don't know if there is even an appetite in the US for tighter gun regulations. Saying that, it's going to take a long time to change gun culture in the US and making guns harder to get would be a fair start. They are killing each other down there at an alarming rate.

2012 - total homicides by gun 6,371
2014 - 11,208
2015 (so far) - 19,407

poops getting crazy.

Way to (frank) over Hutton and McCann

If they still have good games, I don't care what anyone says. They need to be on this team for opening night.

Apologize in advance for talking about something I have no control over.

Now I'm thinking Hutton doesn't get his 9. One game maybe but I think he's AHL bound to play big minutes.

I think they are testing them to see if they can play with scraps. If they pass the test, they'd have to be on the team. curious to see how sbisa hutton looks. hopefully sbisa doesnt touch the puck and just hits - hutton controls the play.

They must be seriously considering Cracknell over Vey even... Vey is going to lose his job to somebody I'm thinking.

It's a good test IMO, it's not like Hutton is going to be paired with Tanev if he makes it, might as well give him the hardest assignment.

Same goes for McCann, if he once again outplays Vey with lesser talent, it will be damn hard justifying keep Vey.

No agreeing with Bingo even if he's right. He's incapable of having a non-troll conversation.

Good. Vey's skill set is easily replaced.

Cracknell has looked like a decent callup, I'm glad the nucks picked him up, players like him are far from sexy but they are still important to have in the lineup.

While I doubt it, he still might still be lost by waivers.
