McCoilers in total disarray. Someone needs to tell them that Tank for Bedard was last year.

Where's Port Kellsie? Nibblin on spongecake? Watchin the oil bake? Must be busy moonlighting playing his six- string ,while canucks keep doin' their win thing. McWhiner still looking for his lost bucket of goals. I think he claims that there's a referee to blame, but we know it's his own fault
He just can't handle Miller Time.

Not sure where Kells is perhaps getting his tabboganing run ready for our December slushfest as predicted by some members. Bones has been eerily quiet as well.
This is absolutely insane to see but it's awesome it's like a dream.

This is insane but l love it.
As far as i can tell, the highest scoring pair of Defensemen on the same NHL team was the 1974-75 Boston Bruins

Bobby Orr 135 pts
Carol Vadnais 74 pts
Total: 209 pts

Pace so far this season for Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek
Total: 226 pts

Hughes 137 pts
Hronek 89 pts

Hey folks. Glad to see you guys are enjoying this early season positivity as much as I have!

We have a good team that can compete with the big boys. I definitely want to see some more dominating 5 on 5 performances but when the PP is overheating and Demko is godly you can't complain. The division looks tough with LA and VGK right up there with us so no chance to sluff off.

I like the Sens as my #2 team but I'd be more than happy to lay the boots to em tonight!

As for where I've been, I think the forum needed a break from me and often combative style, at least on certain topics. I can't seem to discuss weather without bringing the old climate change posts especially during our apocalyptic summers and that just causes massive issues every time. I've also been proactively dealing with my long covid and its definitely taken its toll on my body. I just completed a long fast that will hopefully yield major healing benefits physically and mentally.

Welcome back.

I regret the fact that one of the reasons you felt like you needed a break was due to the climate change discussions. It's unfortunate that we can't have these conversations and agree to disagree without all the drama. To be clear, I'm not at all accusing you of causing the drama. Rather, my point is that you should be able to share your views of climate change without any issue and likewise I should be able to do the same. The issue is that people are passionate on both sides of any issue in today's news, and it's unfortunate that it often leads to uncharitable arguments. I've just focussed on trying to restrain myself from sharing my views on subjects where I know a lot of people won't agree. I'd rather just not get into the debate if I think it's going to be unproductive. But it's not an easy thing to do and that's one of the reasons I was pushing so hard for people to keep the climate change discussions in the appropriate thread.

I'm having so much fun watching the Canucks this year. They look like a much better team compared to previous years. While I still believe we have a long ways to go before we are cup contenders, there are a lot of positive signs. Hopefully management is able to continue to improve the team and we can get to a place in a few years where we will be a legit contender. At the very least, I think we will make the playoffs this year. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your battle with long covid. That really sucks my friend.

Hopefully you have a quick recovery both physically and mentally. I always enjoy your posts and appreciate your input on here so it's awesome to have you back. You're just in time for a clown range arctic blast.

Defencemen with 20 points & +15 or better rating
through first 12 games of a season

1) Bobby Orr (1973-74)
2) Quinn Hughes (2023-24)

End of list

Quinn Hughes is amazing as is Cale MaKar who has more points than Bobby Orr did through his first 250 games.

I've heard they brought Bobby Orr into the NHL video games now.

The guy was amazing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au8acStAvzw

It's all good Kells pal l kinda figured you were dealing with the long covid issue again as it has been the case afew other times in the past so sorry it seems to be on going and can interrupt quality of life.
As for the climate change posts they never bothered me anyone can have their say on it
I'm 64 l've lived through it all and seen it all so l enjoy hearing someone's take on the possible causes whether pro or con.
Welcome back Kells l enjoy your input on all topics l don't get offended if someone doesn't like something that is said just don't respond no need to pick a fight.

Absolutely unbelievable, will Ripleys dedicate a whole chapter to them? They've been leaking oil ever since they got Canucked in the groin in that first game, where McWhiner blew a gasket and drysaddle lost his horsepower. Is oil nation throwing their McJerseys out the window yet? I'm sure their coach is gonna pay the price.

Good one Skipper Grumps l heard the post game on Oilers radio it sounded like our callers the last 2 years.
Wow what a turnaround it's like the Kandoos took the Oilers spot this year.

[SouthSardiswx]

Mr President I hate to interrupt you but the Oilers have won.
