Reading Bountiful after the flames get blown out by the caps makes me laugh.

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

They've done a full 180 on Treliving. Over the summer he was a gawd, now he is to blame. Half of them want Hamilton benched and Hiller waived.

Knowing we suck balls it helps see cowpuke implode. Only reason I'm not laughing is we aren't really any better.

Dougie Hamilton is extremely overrated. He's getting the Luke Schenn mulligan, because they were drafted high their shit play gets overlooked. Griffin Reinhart is probably next on this list, he looks terrible
Hey Trump, I’m ANTIFA.

3.8 million in salary. 2.9 would still count on the cap, if he clears. Could be a prelude to a trade where they would be asked to retain, seeing if someone snags him for free first, like Columbus. But 3.8 for a back up.

:mrgreen:
Fuckinglames let Ramo become a UFA 3 months ago and then re-sign him to a bloated $3.8M 1-yr contract.

Then they watch him play 151 minutes this year and decide to waive him.

Rumour was that, when they re-signed Ramo, Fuckinglames had a deal in place to trade Hiller to the Sharks

... but it fell through after they had signed Ramo to starter's wages.

Fuckinglames message to #1 goalie Hiller: "We tried to dump yo ass, but nows we's bes stuck with y'all."

Fuckinglames message to would-be #1 goalie Ramo: "It took 2.5 games to tell us YOU SUCK"

And now, as HW points out, Fuckinglames are talking trade about almost everyone on their roster...

Great logic Fuckinglames!!

"Shape up players or you might not get to stay in Calgary Fucking Alberta!" :lol:

Ya the former coach of the year can't explain it but says his players need to look at the standings as that should get their attention.

Isn't this standard with Hartley, wears out his welcome in a hurry?

It seems like he believed he coached the Lames to a 20% shooting percentage last season because he's such a genius.

And not because it was a total fluke. Like almost everybody outside the bubble was saying.

Ramo to Stockton
Stockton
A fairly decent little town, with an exceptionally high crime rate, and probably the drug capital of the state. SF and Santa Cruz have more stoners per capita than Stockton, but we've got twice the amount of crackheads, heroin addicts, coke fiends, and meth heads than anyone. For the most part though, so long as you stay away from the south side and schools like bear creek, franklin, or stagg, you'll be ok. The University of the Pacific is Stockton's local university, and surprisingly one of the best universities in the country. Stockton is also home to St. Mary's, a school that is full of primarily wealthy white people, however the racial balance of the school has shifted to primarily black over the last few years, which is weird because finding a wealthy black guy in stockton is like finding a poor jew in Florida. Although I went there, and I'm poor as shit, so i suppose you dont need too much money. In any case, Stockton also is home to one of the largest inland trading ports in the country, even though our main export is asparagus, go figure right? It is also impossible to live in Stockton and not be a little bit racist. Whites dont feel safe due to the large number of drug fiends and general thiefs that are black, and black people dont feel safe because of the corrupt white police officers. Asians and Mexicans just sort of float around the middle, generally talking shit on "the man" until 13 black guys jump them for being in the wrong area of town, then they go running to the police for help.

Thats right, I just said all of that.

Alot of people from the Bay Area decided that drugs that fuck up your mind and body were cool, and created the Hyphie movement about 30 years ago, which has now reached Stockton and the majority of high school kids have bought into it, having no idea what they are doing. This is partly what surged Stockton's crime rate, was the majority of bay area rappers and gang members that were drawn to Stockton for its current level of shittiness and decided to make it even worse.
Just like Calgary

I love that they have to eat 2.8 on the cap. Apparently they thought they had a deal to trade Hiller to SJS (sound familiar) when they extended Ramo. Deal didn't happen and they got stuck in this position.

:mex:

They let Ramo become UFA-for-a-day and then gave him starter's wages for a year

... two-and-a-half games later and he's sucking boners on the farm.

I blame cow fumes.
