I'll ban myself for that one.

Then you haven't done enough camping.

How anyone goes camping without copious amounts of narcotics is beyond my comprehension.

yah mine is not even comparable to yours... I feel for you. Acupuncture is the one thing I haven't tried yet. Glad it is working out for you though. Hopefully surgery is a last resort for you.

I can't recommend acupuncture enough! Seriously!
I see a Neurosurgeon next month but my doctors see little hope for surgery. We'll see.

Dude, I had a half ounce+/week habit for years and it was more than most around me.

An ounce a week is a poopload of weed.

Why couldn't we have the dilemma of picking Matthews or Laine?

They'll have their day if they keep tanking, or make an awesome selection in the form of Yzerman at #4, Lafontaine at #3, Sakic at #15, Jagr at #5, Coffey at #6, Peter Forsberg at #6, Ray Bourque at #8, Roenick at #8....

You get he idea

We booked a camp site by Port Alice for the July 1 weekend. When booking, I was told a large group had booked most of the camp ground. I asked if they knew who booked it and I was told it was NA, Narcotics Anonymous.
The woman at the regional office taking my reservation knew the group and said not to worry when I told her I was a medical marijuana patient. Needless to say we had a good laugh.

I was implying the when. Teams have gotten much better at scouting, was the inference I was getting to. But, I do agree that a great player can be had at 5 for sure.

I'd prefer Glass or Heiskanen. For whatever reason, it certainly doesn't sound like the Canucks have any interest in Vilardi so I think he is a long shot.

Glass or Makar at 5th. Happy camper if that happens.

Degenerating vertebrae. Many have compression fractures which has led to disc and nerve damage.

I've got a chronic punched sciatic nerve, acupressure keeps it at bay. To bad it's not recognised under or health care system.

Makar is VERY risky at 5....but I like to gamble

Makar is a VERY risky pick, at 5....but I do like to gamble.

A reach in my opinion but he could be a good player. I have faith in Benning when it comes to drafting, Virt was a pr move.

Plus, fixed.

I wouldnt even take him top 10, hes in a league were there isnt much talent, it is a huge gamble, to big for my liking

It's hard to know who's a HHOF'er when they were only drafted ten or 15 years ago. That's why I used older players.

Ten years ago in 2007 players like Vorcek at #7 and Couture at #9 were good picks, no one's as good as the number one player though (Patrick Kane) they rarely are.

2006 Toews Backstrom and Kessel were taken 3/4/5, Giroux was taken 22nd.

Tarasenko, Karlsson and Shiefele look like very legit picks too. IMO Vilardi is the one that makes the most statistical sense, followed by Glass.

I've never been a huge fan of any kid that can't skate really well in his draft year, thus I'm not a big fan of his! I want someone with a bigger upside and that means ability to skate.

The other thing that i had noticed out you're examples of great players whom we're picked around were the canucks are do too pick is this, not a single one of them played a single game for the canucks, let alone was a Canuck draft pick.



Wrap your head around that post lefty! Just you try to resist the fix!

Vilardi is 6'3 and skates very well, I don't think you have the right guy in mind.
