I really like this one, I have several (7) original paintings and one mask, looking to acquire a set of carved paddles.

Also hiked all around your location today with our dog. Wet, muddy and awesome

Nice....we have a couple pieces in our house as well. Saw a beautiful paddle in Tofino but the guy wanted $1000 dollars for it.

You are forgetting Canucks didn't like McCann

I think that might have been overstated but there may have been something to it. A cocky 19 year old is not something new in the NHL.

Nothing better than a 9 team league title game!

It's 1.5 times harder to win then the Stanley cup was 50 years ago.

Broncos vs Chiefs for me. Flipping to the other game for the score every 10 minutes.

There was a loud scream heard over Colorado .


Yes. I wasn't the first Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

JUST? How so?
Contract values alone make it plausible.
- Nighthawk

It's plausibe yes. All for it as explained. Will Buffalo be willing giving up Kane and a their probable lottery 1st rounder for Tanev?

No single player from the Canucks gets you Duchene

One can only hope for an Oilers moment.

He thinks Toronto are in their glory days. That's adorable.

This must be what it's like when you are the worst team in modern NHL history.

50 years and counting...

It is what it is

Less than 2 minutes left, Ottawa up by 3.

You really have an odd eye for talent in my opinion.

So McCann, who was a more dynamic skater, better shooter, eclipsed Jake's hockey I.Q in every regard and who could naturally distribute the puck is, in your view, not a top 6 player where-as Jake is?

The only true asset Jake has demonstrated, albeit inconsistently, is the fact that he weighs 220 pounds and can skate in a straight line...

Hopefully he finds his offensive game but at this rate he's showing all the hallmarks of a Torre's type grinder at best

That said, I'd still refuse to swap him for Kane.

It takes time to develop a power forward. Patience. JV's got way more skill then Torres could dream of in his prime.

I'll give you McCann on better hockey IQ then JV. But not the rest. That said they aren't the same type of player for comparison.

As for top 6 don't see Mcann beating out Bo, Sutter and whoever JB drafts for 1LC

Still counting, are you folks counting?

Tie game 6 seconds left, going to OT.

Both are now in the AHL

Maybe later...

It's interesting how people on here applaud Benning for acquiring young players/prospects based on his scouting skills but totally dismiss him when he decides the player doesn't fill what he is looking for and moves him to shore up other holes.

Having a solid D core will go miles towards developing our youth. Having young experienced leadership in the dressing room instead of just graybeards for leadership helps as well. Having someone play big physical minutes every night that can protect our youth and doesn't have a bad rep with the officials goes a long ways as well...

I would call them chronic complainers but it's probably just a fantasy about not having a team older than 23 years old(Oilers Model) except for the contracts we cannot move.

...but then they would complain about the coach after every loss who wouldn't have a team to work with... more or less destroying the careers of the young goalies we would have...

Boy Flames back end sucks. Monahan doing nothing. Maybe we should do Sbisa for Monahan and a second

- manvanfan

Yes. Like I said in the previous post to that is JV is in development mode like BB but is more likely to make top 6 over Mcann.
