Kevin Allen: Thursday Thoughts: Lovable curmudgeon is what the Canucks needed Thursday thoughts: Few trade acquisitions will do as much for their new teams as Malkin can do for the Penguins.

Wasn’t the Heritage Classic in Edmonton many years ago played in below 0 weather?

Any contender that puts Risto into their top 4 isn't going to be happy. At 50% retention for a bottom pair role. That is possible.

Flyers will sadly resign him however.

Also the game in Calgary and the Flames vs Jets game in Regina.

Maybe if the statistic had been in Celsius (below -17.78 Celsius), then yes, you are correct.

Leaf fan Boudreau getting the Nucks to 9th place, sick

The Heritage Classic was an outdoor ice hockey game played on November 22, 2003, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, between the Edmonton Oilers and the Montreal Canadiens. It was the first National Hockey League (NHL) game to be played outdoors as a part of regular season play. The Heritage Classic concept was modeled after the success of the "Cold War" game between the University of Michigan and Michigan State University in 2001.[1] The game was given the tagline "A November to Remember".[citation needed]

The event took place in Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium in front of a crowd of 57,167, despite temperatures of close to −18 °C, −30 °C (−22 °F) with wind chill.[2] It was held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Edmonton Oilers joining the NHL in 1979 and the 20th anniversary of their first Stanley Cup win in 1984. The CBC television broadcast drew 2.747 million viewers in Canada, the second-highest audience for a regular-season NHL game.[3] This was the first NHL game broadcast in HD on CBC.[4]

Boeser scored his 1st career goal against the Wild and Boudreau once said that Brock always seems to score against the Wild. Boudreau wanted Boeser to shoot more and now he’s been renewed. Boeser won’t be going anywhere soon. Before Boudreau, there was talk that the Wild and Canucks were discussing a trade involving JT Miller and Fiala. Miller is putting up good numbers and Boudreau isn’t a fan of Fiala so there is nothing there. If VAN becomes sellers at the deadline, they could be tempted to move Boeser with his value high.

Thanks Kevin, great job again.

...also, how's that Chiarot trade?

The U.S. dollar? Instead of the money that has the picture of the Queen of another country on it?

So in your UTTERLY RETARDED MIND, an empirical system of measurement equates to a heritage parlimetarismism of government?

For the record: You are an uneducated DUMB(frank).

Pardon ?

The outdoor game in Minnesota will not be the first time the NHL has played outdoors in sub zero conditions. Look up how cold it was when the Montreal Canadians played in Edmonton at Commonwealth Stadium years ago!!

Hey, wasn't that outdoor game in Edmonton played in subzero conditions?

Off topic but more important:

What is the NHL going to do with all of these canceled games? Already the league will play into almost August for the Finals. But as Canadia becomes more restrictive, more games will be postponed. A full season probably will not happen. If it does when is the turnaround for next season, a month? Why are professional athletes that show zero symptoms being tested? They are not in the risk category. This Corona crap isn’t going away. Mask mandates do not help , the vaccine does not prevent anyone from catching it, where does it end????

Go pray to your Queen that is an ocean away and doesn’t care about you, little brother. USA would protect you, if you had anything of value to offer.

I sure wish Winston Churchill would come back to life and run both countries.

The jet would be smart to trade Copp but what could they get for him?

Sadly, we have the most fresh water in the world to offer and the US is gonna blow the poop out of us for the most valuable resource on earth (after clean air) in about 50 years time
