Wonder if the Wylde’s struggles continue. They not only have the worst penalty kill in the league, if it continues to trend this way they’ll have the worst penalty kill EVER, and it won’t even be close. I don’t think it will BTW but their start has been far more stunning to me than Colorado’s.

This is awesome. The dude looks pissed.

I like that. No bullshit, just say it as it is and call out players who dont give a f***.
And I am sure practice wont be funny. :D

I really wish Bednar would explode more often this way.... after the shame in Vegas and on Saturday.. Some players, starting with our "core" dont gave a f*** either in those games.

Who was it who called noted wee guy Evason an "ornithological nightmare"? They need to post it again in response to that clip.

I personally think Bedard's goal where he knocks the puck between Kuch's legs with his toe for a perfect pass at center ice to head up the ice was the sicker goal. Although the hands and quick release on that goal was gnarly.

I don't think it necessarily needs a medical label attached to it.

Some people just give off asshole vibes. McDavid seems that way. Eric Lindros seemed that way. Chris Pronger seemed that way. Ryan Kesler and Kevin Bieksa seemed that way. Some people are like that.


In no way do I believe Holland was involved in this decision.

Once Jackson was hired, I believe Holland became a figurehead and contract negotiator.
MacK seems like a gigantic a hole. Both on and off the ice. If he had been drafted by a rival team he'd be public enemy #1 here.

He was on some podcast back in NS after the Cup win and listening to that was the first time I thought he could actually be a personable guy and not just a raging a hole (but still ours so I like him anyways)

I think I mentioned this here once before, but at my old job back in Newfoundland, I went to Halifax for meetings one week and got to talking to the Vice President of Atlantic Canada while at these meetings, he knew I was a huge Avs fan so we got to talking about hockey a bit and he brought up that he owns a cottage on a lake just outside of Halifax where two of his neighbors on the lake were Marchand and Mackinnon.

Anyway he said Mackinnon was a bit of a dick. Or at least that he really liked his privacy and didn't like to be involved with the other residents. On the flip side he said Marchand was one of the nicest people he'd ever met and would routinely take families out to dinner with his family or would take the kids out on his boat on the lake, etc. He said Maechand is basically the opposite of the way he acts when he's playing, genuinely a great person.

Eh, the way I read that, he's a bit of an introvert and has a temper. Same could be said about me, except I don't have any real talent outside of cooking ramen in a microwave to perfection.

Are you kidding, you're very good at making me like you and hate you all in the same or consecutive posts. You're definitely talented. 😉

Let's hear these ramen instructions? I've had success keeping the water in the bowl with three two minute incraments on occasion.

What kind of ramen?

The best kind is not found in the ramen section, but in the international section. I know that much lol.
