Nope, the amount of movies I've watched since the 1st Stars Wars Movie can be counted on one hand.

It came out in 1975, is considered by many critics to be among the best films ever made, it won all five of the major awards from the Academy and Stars Jack “freaking” Nicholson. You’re depriving yourself on this one.

I definitely want to see a full year of Toffoli Petey and Miller. I think the rest of the roster falls into place after that. I don't want to break them up because I really liked what I saw those 10 games.
- VANTEL


At some point Petey has to be better at face offs. Miller can’t always carry that load for him. Miller taking face offs for that line and then switching spots with Petey once the puck drops is a little crazy considering how much Petey will be paid.
But if you’re going with those three on your top line then trade Boeser for a need like top pairing d-man. Boeser needs someone who can get him the puck at the right time to set up his great shot. Our guys on the second and third lines don’t seem to be able to do that consistently.

I'm surprised Makita said that he hasn't seen any of these movies that I have watched and posted over the last 8 days.
12 Monkey's is great, but all the movies I have watched are limited the DVD's I have in this bin with me in the trailer that was pre-loaded by my wife.
I will have to dig deep and see if its there.

I have a hard time sitting watching television, period.

A poster here (someone who I have lots of respect for) said my life was pathetic because I would rather work than watch movies. I like puttering in my shop in the evenings, I'm out there pretty much until 9:30 every night and would rather read with my downtime.

The thing about trading Boeser is it is crazy talk. We are all thinking it but we can't mention it yet.

3rd line to start imo
Gaudette needs it.
Bo’s line is set.

Resign TT...

Miller Petey TT
Pearson Bo Boeser
Hoagie Gaudette JV

- Nighthawk


Green refused to play Boeser with Bo the entire season regardless of Bo's line needing scoring and Boeser being taken off the 1st line. He put him in the bottom 6 instead. I dont see that changing until there is a coaching change because it disrupts Green's 1 scoring line 3 checking line strategy.

I am not projecting my wishes at all because if I did I would have written a lot more.

You clearly are projecting you hate for Tyramkin which everyone in here is aware of (no poll required)

I have no false fantasies about Tryamkin . He is a 6 /7 Dman and should cost no more than 1.5 and at longest a 2 year deal.

- VANTEL


Nothing wrong with that. We could use the depth and size. Kid deserves a second chance, just like anybody else.

Trailer Quarantine Day# 9 Movie# 20 Snatch

Great Guy Ritchie flick about two stories, a 84 karat diamond heist and unlicensed boxing that become intertwined. Smart, funny and brutal all together. Top notch cast with a European flair, and Brad Pitt cast in his most unusual role. Classic characters, Bullet Tooth Tony, Boris the Bullet Dodger, and possible my favorite of all time, Brick Top. This has always been a comfort movie for us, "Nothing to watch? Chuck on Snatch".

Me neither. I hate Boeser with Horvat. That’s been done and it killed BB’s production.

BB on the first line or bust.

And that 3rd defence pairing. Yikes.

- bloatedmosquito


Brock and Bo together we on fire in Brock's rookie season. The chemistry history berween the two was excellent. Interesting you come up with the opposite.

Can you back this up?

Didn’t he play his first year with Horvat and score 29? Although 1/3 of those were probably on the PP.


Edit: just looked it up....10 on the PP his first year.

- LeftCoaster


Which he was also on with Horvat.

Maybe, I can relate to Willie Mitchell, if it wasn't for recording sports I wouldn't own a TV.

Big question. If you could pay to dump LE(unless he retires or a buyout comes) and then trade Boeser+ for Marner. Would you do?
- Retinalz

I do wonder which of the three Dubas might be willing to move on from to figure out their cap. Marner in some ways makes the most sense, even though no person should want to trade someone that talented.

That’s 3 (soon to be 4) years ago. Fact is Boeser’s on-ice production drops mightily when playing with horvat. It’s essentially a black hole for him.

That’s why since his rookie season you just not see the pairing very often. Even Green can recognize that.

- bloatedmosquito


This season Brock never played with Bo. Last season Brock played with Petey the entire season. The season before Brock was playing with Bo the entire season and they were on fire. Both of them. That was Brocks Rookie season.

So where the hell are you getting this idea that the two are a black hole together?



You made up the part in bold. Plain and simple. They were great together in the rookie season. They havent actually had any significant time together since then and it seems to contradict your "story" that Green recognises the failed chemistry.

- VANTEL


Wasn't there a big hullabaloo about Green not playing Toffoli with Pearson and Horvat for his first games as a Canuck? Wasn't he called an idiot for not taking advantage of TT's pre-established chemistry with TP? Some folks even said it was a 'FU' to the media for them suggesting what his lineups should be. Has that issue officially been put to rest now?

Great movie, do you have any other Guy Ritchie films? I found Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to be better than Snatch. I'll be watching Sexy Beast tonight.
