Tim Wharmsby thinks Grapes should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

All the good Canadian boys agree.

No-brainer IMO.

I’m not 100% sure on how Grapes is perceived in CAN, but I’m fairly confident that he is the anti-Pierre.

Grapes adds nothing to the hockey world, but I think Canadians love him

Pierre is super knowledgeable, but Americans hate him

Mr. Cherry is perceived the same way that Trump is here...

The blue collar, old school, middle of the country guys like him...the coasts hate him.

Both are blowhards who don't know when to shut the **** up. Checks out.

And nobody in the history of the universe until just now would call Trump 'blue collar'.

Get them the day of if the weather is gonna be trash...

They're down to $17 on NHL Ticket Exchange. ~$30-40 gets you down into the lower bowl. St. Paul has declared a snow emergency.

Unfortunately I probably won't make it. Getting sick **** my week all up, but that would've been cool.

I had a chance to see the Wild when they were out here, and intended to go, but jury duty upset my day and I ended up having to bail...

Seems like it's for the better for both of us...they're pretty much garbage to watch, and I'm a Mikko Koivu truther, and he's out for the season now...

Yeah, this is the second trip in a row that I wanted to go but it didn't work out. Last time I was here they were on like a two week road swing, playing the Kings or some ****. Booo.

I would freaking pay to view a conversation between Cherry and Trump. Are you not entertained?

Can't wait to see Wilson turtle and run next time he hits someone in the head...

Tom wilson is so reformed that he is taking a standing against his trademark hit

The system works!

That hit should happen every game to backstrom and kusznetsov. Ian Cole is a damn hero

Carlyle finally gassed in Anaheim. In the ultimate power move, Bob Murray will take over as coach.

Bob Murray hates making in season coaching moves...really didn't want to do this...but finally had enough...the Ducks have lost 19 of 21, and he did bring in some guys to try to spark it...Sprong, etc. Murray has never coached before at any level I'm aware of...Dallas Eakins will likely take over in the summer, but Murray is pulling a Lou Lams...Ducks are, somehow, still alive...

"gassed"? oof ...

Postby **meow** » Sun Feb 10, 2019 1:12 pm

Is Carlyle of...that heritage...? If so, totally not intentional on my part

Postby **Gaucho** » Sun Feb 10, 2019 1:16 pm

Not that I know of, I just think it's generally a poor choice of word ... but maybe that's just me (and my heritage).

Pretty typical hockey lingo actually...which doesn't necessarily make it stainless...but "gassed" is a verb that is used in ordinary course...it means to get rid of...

- Yo man, you still seeing that girl?
Nah, I gassed her like two weeks ago, she was gettin psycho...

or

Hey man, we're watching the game over at my place, you wanna come over and gas some beers with us?
