They should shut the Olympics idea down. "If we do less testing, we'd have less cases" - Alfred Einstein

I'm good with starting early. Just take your lumps.lol edit He's not a year younger man. How many more times do I have to say it? Him,, Zary and Pelletier are the same age.

I thought it was Ryan Francis?

The Toronto game isn't showing on the NHL sked for Thursday either. I'm blaming the Saturday night in Vegas.

The Olympics are so notoriously crooked anymore that it has zero appeal to me. Just do it through the NHL, if all of these millionaires wanna represent their country so badly. The Olympics money trail is nothing short of gangster. So regardless of athletes' lifelong dreams, the entire escapade has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's a total money-laundering sham. I'd have high regard if Canada said, "nope. We're washing our hands of the Olympics in it's current mafia-like state and will no longer partake". The rest of the nations would be saying, "Right. We get what you're saying"...You'd think nations that can build massive military complexes for war could figure out a sporting event tournament for fun in their downtime. Has no one told the Olympic Committee that they represent everything wrong in the world? Billions spent, world-class athletes that are broke. The Olympics need to end. It's like they're beyond any law and flaunt that fact. They're above reproach.

And Sweden. And Finland. And Russia. And whichever team plays beyond it's reasonable ability.lol Lotsa great talent. Wonder if covid will get in the way.:/ Hope not. But I do hope the NHL puts a bullet in the Olympics...for good.

Finally, a Flames prospect.lol https://teamusa.usahockey.com/page/show/6292869-2022-wjc-camp-roster

https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada-world-juniors-final-roster-1.1734064 Currently scrimmaging USports (University All-Stars), winning 3-0 (Cossa SO) and 7-2. Bedard named to the team.

Against pretty much a career AHLer...yikes. In other news, the Ducks move a pt passed us into first. Buddy Robinson opened the scoring for the Ducks. Jon Gillies stopped 36 of 39 shots for the covid-ravaged blues in a 3-2 OT loss.

Damn. These hits are getting scary. Scale down the shoulder pads already.

It's that most wonderful time of the year! https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2022/wm20 A great representation of prospects and draft potential. Although typically overrated, but still a great opportunity to see great young players. Can't wait!

lol Can't wait. Talk about frustrating. Tanking at the same time as the Oilers. The missed opportunities are piling up. Wish our PP1 would set up differently. No one is ever driving through the slot, just playing perimeters. PP2, do we really need Backs out there? His passing vision is highly suspect to me. Or swap Backs and Mony.

Jesus man. Enough with the Monahan hate. It's old. We suck at center, yet, here you are, moving a center. Relentlessly specific.

Markstrom lost that rebound. He can't win every game, Blockchaining score players.

Right in the crest. Scoring is starting to fall off of the cliff. Need scorers to step up. Goaltending is never perfect. Have to win in spite of it sometimes. Scoring is clearly becoming an issue.

I feel like she might have taken advantage of me once when I was feeling down. I was in Minneapolis, and her and 3 of her much more attractive girlfriends totally used me like I'm a piece of meat. It was so humiliating. I can hardly live with myself. It reminded me of the 24yo gorgeous high school teacher that seduced me when I was 16. Some gorgeous women just can't understand that guys have feelings too. It isn't fair.

Nope. Teaching him.lol

Likes for the guvna you lot, eh wot? Alright then, lads?

I don't really think that there's much to do but wait. Our prospect pool is pretty solid, Sutter's had BT (imo) bring in some standards for bottom 6. Goaltending was total Satoshi Nakamoto within the org, that was addressed pretty well. I didn't see any of these changes having this kind of an impact. this early. I think we're only getting better. Sutter's a great hockey guy. I like to think that I'm decent and understand decently. Sutter's on another planet. Gudbranson? Honestly? As soon as Gudbranson said, "Daryl called me in the spring". I kmew right away that he knows exactly what he's doing. Trying to gage what he's doing is hard. But to be clear, Sutter is a frigging terror of a coach at this top level. I honestly think that he's just toying for now. Win or lose, he 's coaching for the playoffs imho. I think he's doing the 5D chess thing. Getting his reads and sitting back waiting. Crazy like a fox.

First yr in the A. Already too good for it. That's impressive as hell. I'll say it again. Our best prospect. Getting on time for a call up.

Us?? How many of you are there?lol

Wasn't taken as such. Just having fun. Him and Deeds have to stop putting songs in my head every time I see the usernames.lol Someone mistooked(making up words) Heartbreaker for a girl a while back. I'm like, "what? Not singing Led Zeppelin"? My brain is halfway through Livin' Lovin' Woman by the time I come around.lol Like right now.

If I'm not mistook, I believe Heartbreaker is quite an affable fellow. His indenture into cyberspace sciences is exceeded only upon his minstrel whimsy upon the arts and the fair craft of spiritual awakening. If I'm not mistook. A really fun guy, in laymen's terms.:)
