Yeah, OR they keep digging deeper even going around or through "rock bottom" because the only real rock bottom is loving death. Sometimes people you love can bring your "bottom" to you but even then if he doesn't want to quit, he isn't going to quit. Sorry...that's a thing with me apparently.

This. It is a cheap low risk signing, not a bad move/Eriksson being lovely insurance (for this season at least.. gently caress that Eriksson deal is bad).


But yeah, please sign Bo ASAP, Benning.

More along the lines of Vancouver signing Eriksson to that absurd deal on the pretense that they still thought they were competitors, and now a year later they're basically burning the whole thing down and rebuilding.

I've been going back and forth on it in my head since I heard about it. Wennberg definitely looks the part, but he scored a career-high 13 goals this season with a career-high shooting percentage of... 12%. I really don't know what he is. It's reasonable but not great if he's a 10 goal/40-50 point guy, and it's drat good if he stays a 10-20 goal/50-60 point guy. That said, considering he could've pointed to Dubinsky and held out until he got a bigger payday, I think it's not the sort of contract that'll cripple a team even if he doesn't repeat last year's season.

Wennberg's upside during that stretch is probably closer to 70 than 50. It's probably a real good deal.

Wennberg is a really good passer on the power play, a good amount of his production comes from there.

That's a good deal, though.

Can't wait for the season to start. I'd been posting in the Trump thread on D&D recently but it's gotten so militantly hostile towards like....everything really....that I kind of just want to come back here and hang out and talk about a topic with a little more levity too it where posters treat each other with some level of respect. Yellowcar can probably share some stories. It's kind of been my first time outside of SAS to be honest. Can anyone else possibly give a hint as to what other forums aren't insanely loving hostile towards other posters at the drop of a hat and which ones to avoid?

I think my avatar and Canadianism pissed them off somehow and stirred up a hornets nest. D&D has been a ride lately for sure. I also want you to know that as a Habs fan I'm obligated to hate you, but that I do not feel it in my heart.

Invoices have a ship date of 9/1 so you should see new gear in stores shortly.

Adidas produced many more items than Reebok had been in the past... So maybe Adidas isn't quite as bad as the Reebok division.

It's going to be like Twitter where I initially resist thinking it's a stupid, unnecessary alternative to what we already have only to break down and eventually drop $60 or whatever it is for a subscription even though I could theoretically glean what's going on based on reading Porty's Tweets.

Stopped by Ikea and grabbed some of those heavy duty bags for a buck each. I think we used 22 bags. It was easier, if only a bit.

I'll probably replace them with game used ones later on, because I am a whore.
