ALL you inveterate gamblers... I am planning a vegas vacation for myself for my 40th bday in July. ITs also my first time in vegas.

WHat sites do you book with, or do you book it direct with hotel? How far in advance should I book?

I'm looking at NyNy or signature at the mgm grand but I would love a deal on a place like the bellagio or wynn/encore. a


I think Homie mentioned the rio as possibility but I was wondering about the distance off of the stripbeing too great.

CURrently, NYny is $1400 Canadian for 2, flying direct from Toronto, from July 16 to 21.

Check out this boxscore.

So many penalties/injuries to the defense meant Getzlaf had to play defense. Then he took a penalty because he got beat because he's not a defenseman.

I think Paulina got a little rough and Dustin "fell down the stairs".

He's got Bylsmitis. Severe Case. Symptoms are confusion as to what line you're on, inability to know where you should be in all 3 zones at any time, and failure to be able to continue driving your bus. Treatment includes instruction from a competent coach, reading classes using the book "Line Combinations for Dummies", and frequent acceleration of the bus you are driving.

This could be the BEST post of the year candidate!!

Strange how hush hush their keeping the Okposo illness. All jokes aside, I sincerely hope he pulls through. The silence about the illness has me fearing the worst tho.

I'm sure all the trolls will be an absolute delight.

Now that we know it's really serious they're not trolls. They're sub human. But about 7 ish hours and nothing yet, so here's hoping...

Ugh... we jumped over Dallas and Florida with that win last night. This upcoming game against Florida will be huge for our draft position.

I doubt it, reading another board, most fans were genuinely wishing KO the best.


I know that we are supposed to worry about him being a person (Which I generally am) Hope he has a full recovery.

but in the back of my mind i cant help but think of the giant hole this opens up at wing, which makes it another position of need if this is too serious and limits KO availability going forward into next year.

You have a blackout in (frank)ing IRELAND? What are you supposed to do, drive to the arena and buy tickets at the box office?
(frank) Gary Bettman sideways.
- seedy

Yep, its ridiculous. Theres one channel (that needs to be paid for) in Ireland that shows random NHL games so when they are being shown my NHL TV gets the blackout. Thing is once playoff finals arrive and its down to the 2 teams I don't get to watch ANY game because the sports channel here gets it.

It's been a fun ride folks.

PM me if you'd like to stay in touch, there are a lot of you I'd enjoy continue talking hockey...and even a lot of non-hockey stuff with. Whether you'd like to join the Discord or just find a way to message each other, I'd like to keep in touch with so many of you I've come to "know" over these years.

What is with everyone's obsession with Genny Cream Ale?

There are so many great beers out there.

It also makes it harder to move 9 or 23 for defense.

But, wing is our POS at the moment in our system, and you can find competent wingers all over the place.

How did Nylander look tonight ?
- Pegullaville

Quite good. He's got a great reach, great hands, patience with the puck, and from what I noticed made about 3 nice passes to the point where another player wouldn't have been able to get them off. He's a very good skater away from the puck from what I saw too. Have him hit the weights hard this summer and he'll slot in next year.

This team DID NOT play the Bylsma system last night and they won. Did anyone else notice that? Defense carried the puck more and they did not just dump and chase like Disco normally requires them to.

Then read the article beneath it about Foligno and the Blue Jackets.

My favorite line:

"There was a sign above every exit of the locker room, safe is death" Torts put that sign up, instead we have a librarian that specializes in juggling.

I don't even think the Sabres play safe.

They fail at "safe" plays like getting the puck out of their zone. They are trying to hard to even be safe.

Our motto is probably something along the lines of "who even cares right now."

Honestly if we pick anywhere 6-10 I think we get the same caliber of prospect.
