Debrincat could shoot the puck. His knock was his size. Only reason he fell. doesn't everyone look dumb now.

Caulfield can definitely shoot the puck as well.

Good luck you guys! One of the few teams to not get a 1st Oa. Make the Canucks great again, it's easier to hate you.

Gaudette to EPs wing. Hughes second line Center with Pearson and Leivo. Horvat becomes the most elite 3lc the league has ever seen with again more not so great wingers and Van wins multiply cups in the next decade with JB at the helm for all of them.

I trade mark this post so no changing is allowed.

It's the wife's laptop technically

For some reason Twitter refuses to work on my tablet and for some reason the log in screen won't work on my cell phone. This site is messed.

She is looking at computers, deciding whether or not she wants another Mac.

Not that PC's are any cheaper. I spent $1500 on my Dell XPS a couple of years ago. Probably should have spent the extra $100 or $200 for a bigger SSD though.

Depth loo at hm. Not sure see hm n top 12 anymore. More 14-19 overall.

IMO Newhook has a top 10 skill set. Just wait ‘til he’s @ BC playing with Boldy. If he’s a mid-1st pick, he’ll be moving up in future redraft articles. Choosing someone the likes of Soderstrom over taking a chance on Newhook would really piss me the (frank) off.

Yes, the PC makers have done an impressive job of bringing their pricing closer to Apple levels over the last few years. I need a PC for my Stats gig and was shocked that I had to pay 50% more for basically the same machine when replaced my old one this season after about five years.

Unrelated: I was thinking it would feel weird if an Original Six team won the lottery, then realized it's not so far-fetched, since there are four of them in the mix this year. I think Habs or Blackhawks would freak me out more than Rangers or Red Wings?

I just built myself a video/picture editting PC, and probably saved well over $1200 than what I would have spent buying pre-built. It was pretty daunting at first, but its essentially just lego for adults once you start fitting pieces together. I really dislike Macs though, definitely paying a premium for that logo.

meh, i don't like TOR fans more than I don't like the leafs as a team, and I am sure they would say the same about us lol.

I honestly just think their defense is complete sh*t, and BOS is going to demolish them in 4. Leafs continue to roll with a stronger forward group and Oreilly being the only solid D man, hard to win with that.

I hate Toronto hockey team and it goes back to the sixties, it took me 4 trips to Toronto before I started to appreciate the city, staying by the harbour was beautiful, staying up by Eaton Centre and I hated it.

Yeah I recently just replaced the battery and SSD in my laptop, now have a 500GB SSD and a battery that lasts longer than 3 hours. Spent like $200.

If I was to build a computer from the ground up, it would still cost a lot but in the long run would probably be cheaper than a pre-built.

I'm not a fan of Macs either, I think it's more the OS than the actual machine.

He's at 14 on my list with Soderstrom at 15. McMichael, at 11 and Tomasino at 13 ahead of Newhook.

More speed then skill IMO.

I like him, but I don’t see franchise d man in him.

Hughes is still the real prize for me, I think he’s another case of a kid who’s been hyped for so long that people start to look for things to dislike about him and forget how good he is compared to his draft peers. He has legit franchise player potential. But that dream is dead

This. It's all about doing it yourself if you want to save some money. I hate the idea of paying out the nose for status symbol technology
