Sweet wont have that repetitive story line, i like were the marvel movies have been heading lately so this movie shouldnt disappoint

Fingers crossed plus Marisa Tomei is still hot.

I agree with this...


... As soon as the Canucks look like they'll be out of the bottom ten for awhile.
- CubanBuffet

I think this year the Canucks shouldn't be able to fall two spots again either ...

They could run a story about FA running a child sex ring out of a pizzeria.

Booner no need, didn't you know that Steaming was the Micheal Flynn Jr. of Canuck nation He's got it all covered.

It'd be a pretty cruel joke if the team being punished the most severely for tanking is the one that's not actually trying to tank.

If the Leafs moved down 2 spots in the draft and we moved two up... I wonder if the "doing it wrong" narrative would be still floating out of TO? Without either team doing a single thing different other than selections, the narrative would be completely changed. Toronto media would have to rely on the low character stories about Burrows and Dorsett until something else came along.

Oh, and shut up Whiskey...

I dunno man, there was already enough negative rhetoric about taking Nylander where we did... do you remember the whole he ran off to Sweden to save his life because he's not tough like Nick Ritchie" thing from Cherry?

At the time, most people thought that we had made the wrong move too. As for Jake, give him time. He may not be perfect, but he may still be a useful player

EDIT: Also remember that we traded the picks for Rakell and Gibson so that we could get Tyler (frank)ing Biggs...

The NHL is not going to give extra draft picks to the better teams ...especially not the presidents trophy winner ..they are already rewarded with home ice throughout the playoffs

As for the draft lotto I think every pick in the top ten should be up for grabs ...if a team can drop out of the top ten after finishing last they will not be so eager to tank

Good hockey talk. Sure lotto for last 10 sounds great. Still would like to compensate teams into pushing to make playoffs so they all go for it and have fans get behind.

Other then the Cup which is the ultimate prize the regular season is brushed aside. So how do you give races more meaning beyond making the playoffs. Home Ice is given for top finishers anyway so what else can Presidents Trophy carry? It's a marathon run of excellence. Other teams have backed off pulling players from games etc resting them down the stretch when they secured a playoff position. Just trying to take that out of the game to give those regular season games more meaning.

This will be the only one made by Marvel the first 2 were Sony, and Sony was contracted to follow a certain story line. This one wont have a spider bite and Uncle Ben will already be dead. Michael Keaton as the Vulture could be interesting.

This villain should be good. Kraven (Kravens Last Hunt) would make a great darker Spider Man movie if you ever read the Graphic Novel.

Which is good, ultimately. Bettmanhatesus will get some new material.

This management team (frank)ing sucks.

Why would they call up Demko?

Everything they do pisses me off to no end.

Virtanen situation.
Ntc situation.
Demko situation.

It's endless with these tools.

Teams do all this to win the Stanley Cup ...getting home ice in the finals is their reward ...teams won't give two poops about extra draft picks ...if joe Thornton needs a couple days off to prepare fir the playoffs an extra draft pick won't change that

You can try to make regular season games more meaningful but they will never be more than the precursor to the playoffs ...it is what it is

Maybe Miller left the Tampa game early for a reason.

I guess miller isnt going to be ready for the back to back this weekend. I hope we get a look at Demko then.... since he'll be here anyways.
I wait for some info on what's going on before I wet my pants in the dark....



If they plan to play him for a game then send him back... I have no problem with that.

Agreed, that was a terrible move, if anything Garteig should have been called up, why do this to a goaltender who's doing great currently and getting alot of starts. The NTC thing is crazy, were going to lose a young guy for 30+ year olds

Does anyone actually have a link or article confirming the call up?

Sweet thanks.

Interesting move forsure.
Pretty torn on the issue as he appears to have just found his stride in the A.
If he comes up and sits on the bench the whole time (which seems pretty darn likely) what a waste.

On the other-hand, he's a shiny new toy

Maybe Miller left the Tampa game early for a reason.

Xmas his wifes boobs and a newborn break

Interesting view

I really don't care if Demko is being brought up . He plays here for 8 games goes back who cares.
