we looked into the Honda Clarity. Too expensive and too early in this stage of development. 3 year wait on a Tesla, no thanks. Wouldn't be caught driving any type of Prius. Civic gives 7.2L/100, good enough for what my wife needs.

my civic has MAYBE 150hp and has a really neat econ-mode.

I bought a 2005 civic almost 3 years ago for $1500. I put in gas and oil changes and I have never been stranded. The car has paid for itself 10 times over.

Jack Hughes of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program under-18 team is No. 1 in NHL Central Scouting's midterm ranking of the top North American skaters eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft.

Central Scouting revealed its midterm rankings of the top North American and International skaters and goaltenders Monday. The No. 1 International skater is right wing Kaapo Kakko (6-2, 194) of TPS in Liiga, Finland's top professional league. The 2019 draft will be held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on June 21-22.

Hughes, a 5-foot-10, 168-pound center, is the first skater currently playing for the NTDP to be ranked No. 1 on the North American list by Central Scouting since defenseman Erik Johnson was No. 1 in the midterm and final rankings for the 2006 NHL Draft. Johnson was chosen No. 1 by the St. Louis Blues.



Hughes leads the NTDP with 56 points (13 goals, 43 assists) in 28 games. The 17-year-old left-handed shot has 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 11 games against college competition this season, and 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) in 16 games against college teams the past two seasons.

He had four assists and a plus-2 rating in four games to help the United States win the silver medal at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship. He missed three games with an undisclosed injury.

"The way he can create speed through the neutral zone and enter the (offensive) zone at top speed and make decisions at that speed is really something," U.S. National Junior Team general manager John Vanbiesbrouck said. "He has a unique ability to weave in between players and see things that others can't. He has great vision and intelligence, and he's very brave. He's one of the most courageous players I've seen take the puck in between big players and get to the front of the net. He's not afraid."

Center Kirby Dach (6-3, 199) of Saskatoon in the Western Hockey League is No. 2 on the North American skater list. A left-shot forward who turns 18 Monday, Dach leads Saskatoon with 48 points (17 goals, 31 assists) in 41 games.

"[Dach] is a high-end skill player who came out of the gate real strong," John Williams of NHL Central Scouting said. "He's very smart on both sides of the puck. He's more of a playmaker but showing he can score."


Rounding out the top five North American skaters is center Dylan Cozens (6-3, 181) of Lethbridge (WHL); defenseman Bowen Byram (6-0, 194) of Vancouver (WHL); and center Alex Turcotte (5-11, 189) of the NTDP U-18 team.

Hughes and Turcotte are two of the seven NTDP players ranked in the top 31, including left wing Matthew Boldy (6-1, 187) and center Trevor Zegras (6-0, 166) among the top seven.

Kakko, the 17-year-old left-shot forward scored with 1:26 remaining in the third period to give Finland a 3-2 win against the United States in the gold-medal game at the WJC. He had five points (two goals, three assists) and averaged 15:10 of ice time in seven games at the tournament.

Kakko has 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 29 games for TPS.

"I think everyone back in Finland believes Kaapo will be the No. 1 pick in the draft," said Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Henri Jokiharju, Kakko's teammate at the WJC. "I know there's talk of Hughes all the time because they hype Jack Hughes a little bit more over here. But back in Europe everyone believes Kaapo is going first overall."

we tested that. They have an insane patent on 150 little cell phone batteries within their main battery. They can tell which one becomes faulty and its a simple 30$ replacement fix.

Happy Monday!

Petey's back and the Canucks are healthy (!) and back in a playoff spot.
