Re: CC Random thread
Doc, is Benning lying when he says we're not rebuilding?
Lack/Bonino/Stanton/Kassian probably gets you similar production and performance to Miller/Sutter/Sbisa/Prust (maybe better). You like your name recognition and "veteran presence" fine, but that's all you're paying for. It's too bad we had to give up draft picks, prospects and young players, alongside our cap space, to get there.
Benning doesn't think this is a rebuild, but I think it will be one fairly soon. You're hedging your bets calling it one now, and I'm sure when we bottom out you'll say a rebuild was Benning's plan all along.
We'll see where she goes. No Centre Ice for me this year, so I'll be relying on you good folks for reviews and updates.

Sorry to burst your bubble!
Or perhaps he was playing a game of semantics, do you have a quote/link?

(you blithering blubbering blabbering buffoon).
Again, a team doesn't need to "bottom out" for it to be a "rebuild".Island Nucklehead wrote: Benning doesn't think this is a rebuild, but I think it will be one fairly soon.

Room is being made and prospects are making the team.

No he isn't. You are not listening to Benning and Linden. May I suggest you attend ESL with your wife.Island Nucklehead wrote:Doc, is Benning lying when he says we're not rebuilding?

Full rebuild, fans won't tolerate, the Garage will be emptier than it already is.
Compete on a nightly basis. Since the season ended, Benning and Linden have not said anything about "must make the playoffs". They say a team that competes every night. A team that is entertaining to watch. A team that is bringing along youth with character vets as mentors.
They have no intention of giving you the Oiler decade of despair you are begging for.

Re: CC Random thread
lol no I don't think so, but I will enjoy the free trial. Between playing, reffing, grad school and work, I won't have the time to watch. That and between the Sportsnet National games, HNIC, and the games on SNet West when we play Edm/Cgy I should be able to catch enough.Uncle dans leg wrote:You're a through and through fan IN...you kid yourself.Island Nucklehead wrote: No Centre Ice for me this year, so I'll be relying on you good folks for reviews and updates.

Hey hey now. There is a poster at that other site named MS and " he has a proven track record " when it comes to prospects .

Hopefully you wake up to this sad fact: That other site you've been hanging at is Bizarro World.

Yeah, he's been taking a bit of a shit kicking lately for his perceived negativity. I think of it more as reality.Blob Mckenzie wrote: Hey hey now. There is a poster at that other site named MS and " he has a proven track record " when it comes to prospects . He actually said that
But Doc made some good points earlier in this thread and I truly hope he turns out to be right and I just have a case of Dudeitis.... or apparently now of Blobingtons disease.

Re: CC Random thread
I was more taking a shot at a guy who a few times has mentioned he " has a proven track record ". Like really ? Me thinks someone takes themselves a tad bit seriously on a message board . I am not a Benning fan and I will readily admit half my posts were tongue and cheek and the other half were arguing with the Benning semen gulpers who can't see straight with all the sperm in their eyes .Eddy Punch Clock wrote:Yeah, he's been taking a bit of a shit kicking lately for his perceived negativity.

No wonder there is war in Syria when we resort to name calling to another Canuck fan when we disagree with what he/she says?
How can we have world peace until that happens?

Hillary Clinton declared in a new interview that she is a robot, implying that humanity should despair and bend to her superior A.I. will by voting for her in the 2016 election.
The shocking admission came during an interview with the BuzzFeed podcast Another Round, in which an astute interviewer noted that the Democrat presidential candidate did not sweat during the interview. Other reporters and Clinton associates have remarked upon Clinton’s remarkable ability to not sweat, even when working the rope line on a hot Iowa day. “I don’t mean sweat because you’re nervous,” said host Tracy Clayton. “I just mean physically. I’m genuinely curious what your deodorant is.”
After some banter over the thermostat and the traditional One Weird Fact about Clinton (“The weirdest thing about me is that I don’t sweat”), BuzzFeed foolishly suggested that Clinton was a robot.
BuzzFeed, you fools! You don’t go around provoking dangerous artificial intelligence!
HILLARY CLINTON: You guys are the first to realize that I’m really not even a human being. I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto a very long time ago. People think that, you know, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, they created it. Oh no. I mean, a man whose name shall remain nameless created me in his garage.
ANOTHER ROUND: Are there more of you?
HILLARY CLINTON: I thought he threw away the plans, at least that’s what he told me when he programmed me — that there would be no more. I’ve seen more people that kind of don’t sweat, and other things, that make me think maybe they are part of the new race that he created: the robot race.
ANOTHER ROUND: So there’s a cyborg army is what you’re saying.
HILLARY CLINTON: But you have to cut this, you can’t tell anybody this. I don’t want anybody to know this. This has been a secret until here we are in Davenport, Iowa, and I’m just spillin’ my electronic guts to you.
ANOTHER ROUND: And without bourbon.
HILLARY CLINTON: Without any bourbon. Yeah. That’s why I have to wait ’til the end of the day.
