Yikes! He needs to enroll in the RBA faceoff school real soon. Probably and old/new tricks deal by now, but HCRBA won't put up with sucky faceoff numbers for long.

Adding Ghost means TDA won't be back & that's worth a lot to me. He had his shot from the point working early in 1.0, but it flatered and got predictable as the season wore on. Forwards with hands and finish should help accent his play. I still think there's a deal brewing with a Necas trade...
I liked Necas well enough, though he seems to play 1 on 5 too often IMO. Teams get blinded this time of year and might not spend the smartest.
I suspect tomorrow will be quite a flurry of activity with Necas right in the middle of it. I had my doubts on Guentzel wanting to stick around here...
Congratulatuions to the Hershey Bears and coach Todd Nelson for their Calder Cup win over Coachella Valley Firebirds (5-4 OT and 4-2 series), which makes them back-to-back Calder Cup Champs. They have won the Calder 13 times in their history. Too bad they're a farm club of the Craps.

And the Oilers have forced a Game 7! Didn't see that one coming several games ago. Bob has looked downright mortal in this half of the series and Skinner has done enough to keep the series rolling. We get the maximum hockey season out of the deal. Even if the wrong teams are playing, and...
More bark than bite. She's fit, but my mean streak is wider and runs deeper. We're both damn good shots, but I have the combination to the gun safe & she doesn't.

My wife gleefully told the Spectrum rep that hell would be freezing over before we ever spent a dime with their sorry lot again. The guy had balls enough to offer $1,000 off for the entire TV/Internet/Phone package for the next year. Her response was "Why, so you can charge us $3,000 over that...
Looking back through pics of our Stanley Cup tailage and half of the regulars have passed away (none were drug or alcohol related either). Yikes!
Further proof that you need to enjoy every day you get.

I've read Laine to the Hurricanes from a few sites. Probably just clickbait because I don't think he's a RBA kinda player. Somebody stirring the pot.

Please, give me a break. Aren't they flying a chartered team jet with extra room and cushy seats? Not having to go through a TSA wait, then hang around in the concourse amongst squalling young'ns and surly fellow travelers? Don't forget about the attitude challenged past expiration date flight...
I suspect Draisaitl will get to taste some lumber before this series is over. He'd deserve it too. That was a pretty lowdown cheap shot Barkov. Shame on the NHL for refusing to go by their own rules. I'm all for letting 'em play, but blatant battery is over the line. Show me anywhere in the...
What prevents someone else from starting up another capfriendly under another name to cover the same information? Leave it to Washington to throw a blanket over the concept, but just because they bought the publication (if that's even the right word), couldn't a 2.0 startup happen?
There's a...
