Baubles has wailed in blindness repeatedly since then.

Baubles is too small of a man to now acknowledge the vision and genius of Jim Benning.

That trade was prescient, days after, injuries hit and the Canucks needed Clendenning in the lineup.

Appears Reefer has a thing for men who are too small.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

How many posts have you guys spent bickering over whether Blob did or did not insinuate Forsling was some semblance of great? My guess is it's 2-3 times more than the various links and images posted by Mick.

:lol:

Every day buddy LOL!

Its always what blob or dude or doc said 5 years ago and exactly how accurate they were back then AND whether they're still entrenching themselves in this same point of view.

I've become addicted to enjoying this bickering and sniping. It really is fascinating

#Isles Lou Lamoriello says Josh Ho-Sang's representative has asked for a trade. Lou is exploring. Told Ho-Sang not to report to Bridgeport until he explores options.

I like Schenn. Good ol' Saskie boy. But...locking him up til he is 37????? I don't understand the 8 year contracts being handed out to 2nd line players. It's a good deal now, but St Louis better be hoping he ages well.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

I was thinking maybe they did it to keep the cap hit down.

Maybe buy out the last year or two if Schenn loses his game?

(and isn't LTIRed by then)
