Hargraves is taller, has far more hair and is way better looking.

Lol this is Abe Vigoda, Edith Bunker and Ichobod Crane all rolled into one chirping at Hargraves .

Doyle is 6 ft 220 all day long. Maybe 225 on a bad day. Still a bit heavy but unlike yourself my legs aren’t razor thin and covered in feathers and impetigo, and my arms don’t look like Kermit the Frogs. Hey it all looks good mixed in with your Danny Devito boiler and hairline though :lol:

Dude 5’-11” 225 lbs is still a terrible body shape. Chicks don’t dig that shit. They dig the Calvin Klein male models such as myself. Your body type are the type you see dangling off garbage trucks tossing garbage cans in the back

So Vegas is starting up an AHL team for the Knights in Vegas. Seattle is starting one in Palm Springs. Vancouver's is still on the east coast.... :/

Should we look at a west coast AHL team any time soon?

Also - this article talks about hosting the WJC in Vegas by 2025.

I wouldn't object to a move to the central time zone mid-west and the US southwest could be a possibility. With communication what it is these days, location for head office monitoring is even less an issue than in the past. That wasn't an issue in the Freddybeach days as there was less reach into the development by the parent club back then. Just make certain it is far enough away from the local media and rapid fans so the kids play without the microscope burning their wings off. The reason I could never support the idea of moving them to Abby after the Flames bailed with their team.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Good for him. That’s a solid contract for the player and the team. Glad to see him stay there. When in doubt regarding things Western Canadian teams; go to Bountiful. See what they think and go opposite to that. They are all hammering the Oilers for the signing so it has to be pretty good. As an asside they sure are riled up at Kassian. That place is spewing vitriol like 2010/11.... an angry bunch, much like a good chunk of hfboards Canucks. Keep on keepin on Bingo.,

In tonight's game, the fans are probably going to be more interesting than the players.

Yeah Rinaldo doesn't play much, interesting the Flames play him this game, Kass would beat his ass.

I'll bet Looch challenges Kass.

Tkachunk will try to stir things up with big hits, but look for the refs to call him for charging/boarding/roughing.

Refs have been told to keep A lid on it.
