"26. A few people have made fun of Toronto’s thank-you videos this year for Tyler Bozak, Leo Komarov and Matt Martin. (It was a good gesture with Martin, who was very unhappy at the way things ended for him last season.) I’d much rather that than St. Louis ignoring Kevin Shattenkirk, who didn’t get any recognition when he returned for the first time."

I've always hated these touchy-feely thank you videos. If the player was that important, wait until they retire and not have a Shatsey bobble head night or whatever. It's not the Blues job to make him feel good before a game.

meh, we will see if anything happens at or before TDL with MDZ before we say that lol.

Did you read how competitive Pavelski is? Why does Pavelski's name keep popping up everywhere you turn. I think it's an omen for you.

I dunno. I am not going to question it though. Would be happy with a 6th

I'll be disapointed if the Canucks don't have at least 10 6th round picks this year

Shattencrack wasn't even drafted by the Blues. He didn't start as a Blue. He only played 7 seasons. He's already played for 4 teams.

STL was right not to give him a video.

How many 6th round picks will it take to get a 4th?10 6th round picks for 5 4th round picks. Then 5 4th round picks for 3 3rd round picks. 3 3rds for a 1st. There we have it. Two first round picks in Vancouver

The Denmark game? Why were you right? You also expressed concern over the Manling Palmu yesterday
- CanuckDon

I posted the tweets about the Palmu thing but I never expressed concern about him? I said multiple times yesterday I don't care how his situation resolves since he's not likely to ever play in the NHL anyways.

I'd say the score of a round robin game means nothing when it doesn't determine standings and the team that wins 14-0 loses out in the QFs

4th round picks are a waste, there isn't enough room in the system. Only 6th round picks matter.

I already edited my post. I discovered a way to get two 1sts. Hopefully Benning is reading

I would rather we draft more "brassard's" than we do "Manuykan/Palmu's". Having said that, with 10 six round picks, maybe they can hop on each others shoulders and make a normal tall prospect

Are you saying they used up all their goals and that's why they lost to Finland? Not because the Fins were actually the better team?

Now that’s a wacky narrative

Maybe he is, you know.

Well that is your prerogative.

I don't mind personal attacks if I know they're in jest, but you and Marwood really seem to rail against people who disagree with you

No no, I was told you run up the score because in a tournament like the WJC it would get you better playoff placement, despite the fact that it was generally accepted that the Canada/Russia game would determine the standings anyways. Turns out those 14 goals couldn't keep us away from the best team in the tourney

Well that is your prerogative.

I don't consider my day complete unless someone has told me to shut the fudge up.

Would you return to hating everything about JB if it happened?

It wasn't the 14, it was the 1.

Personally, I don't believe there is such a thing as "running up the score" you can't ask would be professional athletes to take it easy. You drill into them to play hard for the full 60+ minutes, to challenge in all three zones, to win every battle. If you don't like getting beat 14-0 then play better, or go home and cry...

That is a good way to know you're doing something right

I thought Vintsy has been real lacklustre lately. Needs to step up his game.

Would you return to hating everything about JB if it happened?
- manvanfan

I only objectively hate JB when he does something stupid. I guess I can't really hate him for disagreeing with how he envisions a rebuild, but if he makes the same mistake he did with LE, but with a 35 year old Pavelski, I would probably hate him more than I did when he signed LE.
