Thanks ASL, that was a good album. I think Shine on you crazy diamond 6-9 was my fav track, though the others were great too. Always cool to hear other artists take on a classic.

Yeah I like that as well, Bootsy Collins brings some funk to that version.

I’m not actually going to eat the mushrooms. My wife will be home in a few hours and if I’m SNAFUed I’ll be in big trouble!

I'd say grow a pair but they'd probably wind up getting carried around in her purse anyways.

32 lb Coho caught in Lake Ontario, potentially a new Lake Ontario record if it’s not a Chinook/Coho hybrid. The biologists are excited to find out.

I agree that is what is most likely in reality but if EP was willing to do 8x8, JB should be all over it (again, unlikely EP agrees to that).

I think they should do 3 for QH so he is not up the same year as Bo and Miller.

Sure sounds even better 👍

Not hockey related but if your looking to make money on the stock market buy ASTA astra veda corp I've been in this for 6 years and it's coming to fruition after getting rid of the crooks, world class management and products now. Cyber security amd national security and other things, Its a life changer.

What a day!

Been busy at work and just refreshing the trade tracker occasionally.

Far out.


I'm liking the forward depth.
i like the Halak signing at 1.5m

Definitely got some RD now...just not sure about the quality.
Overall, the roster seems much improved.

JTM-EP40-Garland
Hoglander-Bo-Boeser
Pearson-JD-PodK
Motte-Sutter-Highmore
ZacMac

OEL - Myers
Hughes - Hamonic
Bone - Poolman
OJ-Schenn

Notes - I don't like the idea of 2 shrimps (Garland and Hogz) on the same line.
Nor the idea of 2 rookies (hogs/pods) on the same line.

If Podkolzin is overwhelmed and not ready for the NHL (which is a distinct possibility, despite us all pencilling him into a top 9 slot), you could go with a more traditional shut down 3rd line and limited 4th line.

I don't know anything about Poolman, but he's a big body. I like the idea of pmd on the left side and a big stay at home D on the right.

- VANTEL


erm.
yup.

i'd give Highmore a 4th line spot with limited minutes and keep the Gadjovich's and Lockwood's in the AHL playing meaningful minutes on a good team.

I mean, I'm open to a debate about the merits of him over Phillip Di Giuseppe if you want


ZacMac can ride the pine.

Canucks not done yet. I hope they add another Center. Also Baily is back. Plus some think the newly signed 2021 pick has a shot.

So that 4LRW slot has at least 4 guys gunning for it. Might be a Carousel situation between press box and Abby for them.

Zac Mac is the only fighter up front we have, would be a shame if he's not 13th forward at least.

He kicked Forbort's ass after the Hoglander incident
