Sad thing is I think consensus is Trev was right.
TWR. Always was.
Even if they toss Allvin overboard, I don't see the two clowns being able to handle the necessary, full rebuild.
They'll declare the rebuild complete by trading most of the assets accumulated in this and next year for vets in 2028 to go into win now mode. Guaranteed.
If you declare a rebuild done, then it's done, right?? I mean, works for presidents and military campaigns, right??
Consensus reality is soooo overrated - especially when you can hold a fanbase hostage with your own.
Starting to understand Melania better...

Shits and giggles time.
Topper and myself have spoken over the years ad nauseum about 1987 being the best hockey ever played.
The starting lineups versus Russia game 1...sans Crossman (who to be fair was solid and offset Coffey nicely) an amazing all time group of players.

This is what our 2026 World Championship team "could" look like....Gold medal anyone?
Shee-it, that squad could challenge in the Olympics....

That would be a World Cup team for the ages.

Never thought I'd get excited about the World's, but the Lynn Valley boys together, plus Schaefer, are you kidding me?!? Sign me up for that all day, every day.
Hope they all choose to go. May also be interested in a couple of our kids should they get invites and go.

Never much a fan of the World's
Oil fan friend of mine raved about Ryan Smyth being Captain Canada. I pointed out that he only had that role because the Oil team he lead was too shitty to make the playoffs

Me neither. Stanley Cup for Euros vs NHL failures.
This one could be interesting tho. It's the golden age for local talent. North Van = Cole Harbour West. Gotta get behind our boys. (Just pisses me off to no end we coulda had one or both if Waternoodle committed to building something over chasing playoff dates).
And with Schaefer a good warm up preview for future Olympics/World Cups.

Sounds like McKenna has been invited to the Worlds.

I guess we'll know in about a week's time if this news is relevant to us.

I think it will be one way or the other.

Yeah, I was going to be watching regardless mostly for the other crazy young talent on Canada. But can't lie it will be hard to if TO, Cal, or NYR win the lottery...even worse if McKenna shines.
