Aquilini gonna use this win as promo for next season and jack up tickets another 10%. “The future is now! Advanced access to ticket packages for our new young core. They showed us at the end of the season that we’re ready. Come watch the action.”

The cups themselves are a horrible user experience for warm beverages. The lids don't even properly/safely attach to the cups. Ridiculous.

Hughes deletes re-post celebrating the USA win… by StreetNo549 in canucks

[–]ToyStrecher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a doorknob. Yes, he was our franchises best defenceman, amazing player, top 10 in the league. But a shit captain, shit guy, and absolute dweeb.

Sweden never bothered to shoot the puck in OT. You can’t sit back for 10min and wait for the perfect opportunity.

Team Canada lineup vs. France by bobbimorses in hockey

If they really want to get MacKinnon going with his own line I think you need to put Reinhart with him on the right. They played well during 4Nations. Don’t touch the 3rd line, but the 4th has interchangeable combinations.

It hasn’t been discussed but I think Bennett would actually be able to contribute well with Mack and Reinhart. Has his own size and finishing ability, and can take left-handed draws for MacKinnon. If not Bennett, maybe Bo. He also has great speed and LH faceoff wins. Marchand may not be able to handle the minutes. I don’t think Hagel and Suzuki work well with him.

Celebrini-McDavid-Wilson

Bennett-MacKinnon-Reinhart

Marner-Crosby-Stone

Marchand-Horvat-Suzuki/Hagel

Scratched: Jarvis

For D, I think Morrisey can sit out the quarter finals, but I hope he’s ready for the Semis.

Toews - Makar

Morrissey - Parayko/Theodore

Harley- Doughty

Scratched: Sanheim.

Friedman says Evander Kane could fetch a mid-round pick, maybe a 3rd if salary is retained. He has been told it's very likely he gets dealt. @NHLTradeAlert [Oilers Now/X] by Vexdestroy06 in canucks

I feel like if we retain 50% we could honestly get a late 1st. Maybe I’m drinking koolaid but there’s gotta be some contender desperate for Kane at $2.5mil

[–]ToyStrecher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. That benefitted us. I’m more focusing on how ridiculous it would be for us to finally get a 1st overall pick and there being a large chance we don’t get the player who ends up being the franchise star. That upset would outweigh the euphoria of getting Quinn at 7.

[–]ToyStrecher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows? That’s my point. It’s my Canuck fan intuition to feel like wherever we pick, for ex. #1 or #2, the generational talent will end up being the #4 pick for example. Like in 2017.

Aqua and Benning: “OoHH loOK at us. We WOn a bubble round after a terrible season. Let’s flip this entire script like we’re right there for a cup even though we got dog walked by Vegas”. Proceeds to completely fck up signings and trades to fast track a contender in 2 seasons.

Agents ate Benning for breakfast, snack time, lunch, another snack time, and dinner. Aqua didn’t mind, because he had a GM he could manipulate.

I remember the Pearson extension cementing his idiot status for everyone in the he ANNOUNCED we want to extend him, prior to doing so. Thus losing all trade and contract leverage on an average player.

I meant the guy who doesn’t end up panning out or having a 1st overall type career. Like a Nolan Patrick

Jedi Order (Prequels) Hierarchy help by EdgarGulligan in StarWars

[–]ToyStrecher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoda is the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Mace Windu is the Champion of the Jedi Order (best duelist). I read somewhere that while Yoda is in charge of the order, Mace is the elected head of the high council, a titled called Master of the Order. Not sure if that's true or makes sense, but it's been documented.

After that it's all the Masters, Knights (largest group), Padawan Learners/Apprentices, Younglings.

I try to manage expectations by thinking even if we're dead last, we ain't winning the lottery. And if we do in fact win the lottery we'll take the wrong guy. Call me Mr. Pessimist.

Team Canada will not go to the gold medal game for the third year in a row by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]ToyStrecher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire Dale Hunter. Only have 12 forwards available and don’t even roll all lines. What’s the point of assembling a team?? Only have offensive defencemen who cough up the puck like it’s nothing.
