Yup, Kia's the basketball player. An impressive and personable family for sure. We need another Papa Nurse "beat his ass" appearance. Wouldn't mind seeing it happen to Tkachuk.

I take that back I'd prefer seeing Nurse vs. Andersson round two. He has such a punchable smug looking mug, and acts like a total turd on and off the ice.

Just for a nice reminder:

I remember rasmus calling the oilers fake tough last year or something.

Took a spin by CP. It seems about 90% of them are not even mad they lost to the Oilers. They hate Ward and Treliving though :laugh:. Some are proposing a "Fire Ward" billboard as well.

They are all stumped why Bennett was benched, some dude posted on Twitter it was because of a lazy back check on the Haas goal. Yet Tkachuk literally takes a knee for a full 5-count, watches the Canucks play keep away, slowly gets up and gets a front row view of Vancouver finally pound it home.

And he doesn't miss a shift.

Vancouver
Struggled to start. Better in the middle. Very good lately.

Had one really bad game and that d-partners lodged in the press box. Very steady for the most part. Physical force in his own zone and has been moving the puck much more including some pinches into the o-zone. You watch those plays and they are smartly executed and he skates well to get back in position. Solid d-man.

Biggest thing for me is he’s been consistently solid lately.

Sorry no. Like others have said countless male broadcasters get trashed constantly and worse than Cassie ever has. You’re looking for something that simply isn’t there. If you dedicate everything you do or say to placate the “progressive mob” then you’re losing at life.

You’re really proving my point that valid criticism is allowed and actually encouraging it with this rhetoric.
You said it better than I could have. Just want to echo this. I personally got Remenda trending on Twitter last year for how bad he was.

Very true. That's why I love Torts. Holds everyone accountable for their play...I think he even benched the Sedins once or twice if I remember hearing/reading right.

Edit: It was Luongo for a Heritage classic game. I knew it was one of their big name players.

I remember when Calgary supposedly had such a tight knit group during the play-ins...
I like this version of the Flames a lot better

We're seeing a real divide in the division with a top 4 and bottom 3. In fairness to Calgary although they got the Canucks 6 times they haven't got to play Ottawa yet. Still the divide looks clear enough that I thought I'd take a look at the quality of schedule for the 4 playoff teams.

One of these is not like the other:

Toronto 12 of 18 (66%) against bottom 3 teams (7ott-3van-2cal)
Edmonton 11 of 18 (61%) against top 3 teams (4tor-4win-3mtl)
Montreal 9 of 15 (60%) against bottom 3 (5van-2cal-2ott)
Winnipeg 12 of 17 (71%) against bottom 3 teams (5ott-5cal-2van)
Gonna have to call you Elk44 to satisfy the woke mob ;)

I think fully healthy our d should be

Nurse - Barrie
Lagesson - Larsson
Bouchard - Bear

Yes I do think playing Bouchard on his off side would be fine.

I got you brother. I’m listening. Taking one for the team

Caller just said: “Pat, I know you’re jacked. Probably lifting between callers....you’re an athlete”. And then he trailed off and didn’t really ask a question


To his credit, McLovin laughed and said “no I’m not”
Let me know if Robert calls in.
