The joys of the Okanagan. Aromatic Whites in September, Full bodies reds in November. Bon vendange

I can’t believe you would choose Barbaresco over Barolo. You really are a wussy

The weather turned around. For all the wineries that let their fruit hang, 2018 is going to be an excellent vintage.


Pffft. Barolo is for meatheads. Everyone knows that.

Pick a side, I’ll defend the other. I’ll be in Milan this time next week. Probably not enough time to explore both barbaresco and Barolo, but I’ll do my best. Going to see Genoa, Pisa and the Cinque Terre in between.

Sounds like a great trip, i would love an extended trip to sample all the different wine regions.

You’re a HB ref. You can afford it.

He wants price money. No thanks

Paying a goalie 10.5 million aav and saying #capmanagement in the same sentence shouldnt be allowed

Honestly though.

What would get us closer to the playoffs or a cup

A vezina caliber goaltender

Or

Beagle, eriksson and markstrom?

You tell me.

Youre asking me to choose between two things i despise, overpaying free agents and overpaying goalies, both to which i dont think you can win a cup with either

Might as well trade Demko too then. You would also need to sign two other forwards.

Neither. Just be patient. Van is only overpaying for Karlsson.

Alex Newhook falling down the rankings in some mock drafts.
Arthur Kaliyev isn't getting any love even though he has 22pts in 12 games.

The USDP program is beating NCAA teams. They are just making it not far plucking all the best players.

It is early but SJ are not dominating at all

I think it will take some time but you have the two best offensive D in the league that both play on the same side. Neither player understands that they are supposed to play defence.

Replacement level forwards. Motte, gaunce, jokinen etc...

Andre Burakovsky has been a player that I think Washington has always hoped for more out of. Large body 6'3" 201 lb. 0 points though 7 games. Only 23 years old.

The goal was too get better but you're making them worse.

One of these going around the internet. Some chick is lining it up and she swings and clubs some guy standing beside it.

Canucks should hire her then , her balls would fit right in.

Who wins tonight? Do Canucks lay a stinker first game back?

i hate you the most
- VanHockeyGuy

Your beta hate bores me.

NCAA rookies this year that played college last season. (exception end of season/playoffs)
Tkachuk 6 points in 4 games
Sherwood 3 points in 7 games
Donato 1 point 6 games
Greenway 1 point 7 games
Mittelstadt 1 point in 7 games
Terry 0 points in 6 games
Gaudette 0 points in 2 games.

4-3 Canucks. Come back. Home game.

Corey Schneider has 4 years left at 6 mil per same as Eriksson. Markstrom has 2 @3.66 . Schneider is injured but has been playing back up .

I would trade for Schneider for Loui at 4 mil per. Add in Markstom at 2 mil.

Devils pay the same as if they were going to pay Schneider and get 2 mil in cap relief when Markstom is finished his contract . We get an upgrade and yes I know Schneider has been struggling.

Is taking a chance bringing Schneider back really worth it though? Not sure on that one. I like him as a goalie and still think he could be top quality but...

6-1 Broons.

Adler with lone goal.

Probably because it's a really stupid idea.
