Great tweet!

Not really kidding when you are 100% correct. Call it a, "Arts & Entertainment Centre" and watch the philanthropists come running. Suddenly you're building a $1.5bil complex with everything from hockey to world-class theatre and a National Art Gallery.

What a difference a yr has made in Detroit. The fans are beside themselves in joy. From constant calls to trade Larkin to a new nickname of D Boss, It's been quite a bounceback for the captain, he's become the work ethic leader, hitting, fighting, sticking up for teammates. Hard to believe he's still just 25. The persistently patient treatment of prospects is now paying off with Seider and Raymond, 2 Calder favourites currently along with rookie goalie Nedeljkovic. Loaded with young players in Hronek, Lindstrom (D) and Zadina, Ramussen, Veleno, Stephens (F) the pipeline is still pretty relentless. Likely adding two more Calder candidates for next year in Edvinsson and Berggren, and still top level prospects in Wallinder, Johannson, McIsaac (D), Neiderbach, Soderblom, (F) Cossa (G). The Wings are suddenly a young, dynamic team well worth keeping an eye on. After YEARS of being horrible. How long would we be willing to wait for a full rebuild?

Excellent exit statement from Maurice. Dude is pure class. In other news, ANOTHER KO....

Honestly I think they needed to get rid of Maurice. Like AV in Philly, the coaching style just doesn't match the roster. It's not that AV, Maurice or Green are bad coaches, just the style that they want the team to play doesn't match the roster. I think it's more about the gm and coach have to be of the same mindset. BT can't just run out and grab Hoffman or Skinner for example. They don't fit what the coach wants. AV completely demoted Konecny 3 wks in last year. Konecny was fire. AV didn't like his D play.Boudreau in Van has them playing pond hockey atm. The players love it. They want to run and gun. He needs to decide how to structure that. AV took a team that wants to run and gun and tried to make them a better D team. All good coaches, but the GM needs to decide on coach and providing for the type of coach. Precisely why we get Coleman, the LA duo, Pitlick, Z and Gud. Need to provide for the type of coach. It's the GM's job to understand that. Chevy's a great GM, Maurice is a great coach, but it's likely just gotten stale, and it shows.

Was hearing that a few of the positives are the omicron strain. Ontario's hitting over 3,000 new cases/day. Can this end any time now? Was hoping the Silver Stick would be a go next month with the best AAA Midget teams, now it's CDN teams only.

I'm sure peeps has a youtube video to guide us.lol "Footie's Heart Explodes On The Pitch". God I miss the Page 3 Girl. edit You just googled, "Page 3 girls", didn't you. If not....go on then. How dare you objectify (read:love) women,

Yet Italy, hard hit, testing sewage waste, detected it in September 2019.

I'd assume the same. My concern is that perhaps genetics play a role. I'm about 90% sure myself and a friend had it in January 2019, a little before it was a thing. I get on a horrible concoction of garlic and cider vinegar when I feel the slightest sore throat. We took my girlfriend to the Detroit airport. Stopped in Port Huron on the way back to do a parcel pickup from a friend that I hadn't seen in decades. Girlfriend, nothing. Me and my friend, sick as hell. It was so bad that I went to my Dr for strep throat(lol...at my age?). He said no, I demanded penicillin regardless. I put up a huge fight, he gave me a prescription. It did nothing. I was about 3 wks, girlfriend had to get her brother to pick her up. My buddy was about 6 weeks. It was like no sickness we'd ever had. I'm in better shape, everything else was fine, except my breathing, and my tongue and throat literally peeled and looked worse than raw meat, almost purple. Scary. Yet physically, I felt fine. My buddy was bed-ridden, same breathing issues, rotted mouth, but completely fatigued. I'm in better shape but he's not that far behind. The other 10% of me is on seriously shaky ground.lol Let's hope everyone walks away from this swimmingly.

Fun side story. When CBJ knocked off the Leafs, a guy I know put a video of himself burning his Marner jersey on Facebook. His mom commented, "that damn well better not have been the one that I gave you for Christmas, it was expensive". Of course it was.lol Could you possibly offend your fixed-income, retired parents any deeper? I'm not smart enough to make this up. He's always been a few sandwiches short of a picnic. A public school teacher that got suspended...check this out...he spent a weekend harvesting his pot plants...showed up Monday completely reeking of pot. He teaches Grade 2. Again, I can't possibly make this stuff up. He should have become an engineer, because he's deathly intelligent, only matched by his complete lack of practicality and common sense. It terrifies all of us that know him well that he is teaching someone's kids. Talking to him, he's crazy intelligent about a wide array of subject matter. Watching him, he's a total village idiot. I hope everyone has one of these in their group of friends. Please tell me you do and understand.lol The stories are unending. I could make an entire reddit out of stories about him. I am not kidding, whatsoever. In case anyone wants more.lol

Is it time to start thinking that we are not going to have an 82 game season? I'm doubting it big time.:(

Do we see the Flames again before the new year? I'm kinda doubting it. Stupid losing streak.

I'd ride her.lol

I can see no more live fans coming up shortly. On a happier note, no Olympics should be any time now. I will go on record that I'll never support the Olympics as long as it's a monopoly corporation...and actual sports is secondary, if not tertiary, if not <tertiary. The Olympiad Committee's agenda is the Walmart of the international sporting community's much-deserved recognition to brotherhood and fair play and excellence in sport and achievement. That isn't the primary goal of the current Olympics setup. The Olympics can go Dick Pound in the opposite direction imo. .. .

I think we're done for a while...

Includes Sutter, JG, Markstrom...

Should pretty much cover everyone...

Can't believe they're allowed to throw their garbage on the ice.

Aaand again...

How dare Point, Marchessault, Marchand, Lucas, Schwartz et.al. be around Pelletier's size. Francis looking like a tweener. Already a full year behind where he should be. Taken 11 rds after Pelletier and 4 after Zary. Yet somehow he'll be a prospect that matters. Maybe we'll even give him an ELC if he's worth it...yet the argument is that he's one of our best prospects. Smaller than Pelletier, 3 yrs in the CHL to be ppg. hmmm. 6 goals, 20pts in 16 games as a 20yr old. Could be our best prospect.lol

Lucic, Mony & Hanifin added to Covid protocol on top of the staffer, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Ruzicka, Richardson, Tanev & Zadorov.

Stop embarrassing yourself.lol I thought Ryan Francis was our best prospect? You guys honestly need to get off your horses and look at reality. Pelletier has been a top prospect since he was young and drafted into the CHL when ALL 16yos are eligible. He was an easy ppg every year in the Q. Then he played for every Canada National Team since U17. Now he's 3rd in the AHL scoring race (1st and 2nd are 26 & 27yos) and 1st amongst rookies, 1pt ahead of 8thoa Jack Quinn. Not bad for someone that's considered a complete 200' player... He's the literal definition of a top prospect, yet here we are.
