God I hope so I want him to live to see Ovie beat Gretzky's record (for a decade until McDavid takes it back)

Pop that tarp off.

As someone who used to work for Rogers Media. I would almost guarantee they are just going to centralize all play by play to Toronto and eliminate the regional guys.

I doubt it. Sportnet just spent a crap load of money to bring Ray Ferraro in as the Canucks colour guy

I only want Cherry back so someone can ask his opinion on LGTBQ in sports and I can watch his head/heart explode on air.

Also it'd be great if Ron Maclean took a long walk off a short pier.

At some point 20 years ago someone from my hometown tried to pick a fight with Ron Maclean at a charity auction that is held yearly. I used to think the other guy was the rear end in a top hat, but really he was just ahead of his time.

Have a feeling they’re going to regret that PLD contract sooner than later, $8.5mil for 8 years!!

SHUT UP AND PLAY HOCKEY
Guessing the end of the contract will be his retirement. 7M for 65ish points seems pretty good these days.

Byfield is still developing, this isn't anything against him.

Copley was fine. I even thought he should have been the starter in the playoffs.

Just a hunch but the Pacific might still be a little bit not good and LA should be fine given the quality of competition.

Even better, ask is opinion on no Pride jerseys in warm ups followed up with "this also means no armed forces jerseys in warmups. How's that make you feel?" and watch his soul astral project into the cosmos.

Cherry said that Andrew Shaw was in the wrong when that incident happened, from what I remember.

late-first round picks are hard, it turns out. and most of those picks were perfectly acceptable picks at the time. (although dennis cholowski is lol)

DeBrincat is currently trapped in the “Beyond” section of Bed Bath & Beyond.

He was brought there by the allure of a going out of business sale of 50-70% off everything in the store.
