Yeah some of those names are extra unique but I think the bigger issue is that there are still too many Aiden, Kaiden, Braydon type names. George Carlin would not be pleased.

LOL.

Not an off-base joke sadly; fail to impress and Vegas drops you like a hot potato. Lots of competition VGK is going to face in their first year.

OK Ontario ppl (Leafs fans). I need a good place to get beer somewhere on the 401 from Montreal to like, Belleville I guess.

We're doing a weekend cottage thing next month (yes it's a while away) but I wanna know where to stop. My route is pretty much all 401 until around Prince Edward so anywhere around there. I'll drive a bit to hit a good place.

I want non Quebec shit. I want a decent LCBO too. Belleville? Kingston? I dunno. We're not spending any time in these towns but I'll stop in for stuff.

Thanks!

Also any restaurant recommends for the whole Prince Edward areas is cool. We're gonna be about 45 mins away but whatever, we'll drive for a decent meal. Sand banks area I guess? Picton, whatever.

YOU TELLING ME WE COULDN'T BEAT $4.5m x 2????

or he accepted that salary because he was told he'd be the #1 center and a core piece of this new team, while we already have a core here and the center situation is wonky at best

Why is everyone freaking over a 30 year old dude who's never played 1 game in the NHL? He could be a complete bust.

Canada vs Czech Republic at the Worlds today. Yeah I'll watch. Gotta get my Avalanche and Flyers fix.

No but really I hope that these teams provide a nice game. Canada is always good at this tournament. I have no clue what the rosters are though.

he wouldn't and you know it

Vegas is the perfect situation for this Russian dude. He gets to test himself and see if he's actually NHL quality, in a 0 pressure environment. If he can play, maybe a team wants to trade for him at the deadline and McPhee can get a pick for him. If he sucks, nobody cares.

Canada has been good at worlds for few last years as they have concentrated on playing and not drinking. In the past words were usually kind of like holiday trip for Canadian and US players. Still remember when US almost dropped to B-division.
