Almost-30-goal Nyquist is the best Nyquist -
Michigan/Ontario is on the same latitude as northern Spain and Rome. Always surprises me. This is a geography thread now.

We definitely added to the top end of our draft pool What do I need to know about this Berggren kid? He's getting awfully high rankings. All I remember is him being compared to Nyquist -

There are lots of hints in popular culture if you're smart enough to catch on -

Thanks Obama -
If anyone is interested I just watched the TSN segment, here it is: Joe Murphy Yup, drugs were DEFINITELY involved. Was supposedly a normal family man during the height of his career. Then he took some hits to the head and "changed as a player" (they specifically cite a hit from Shawn Burr as the cause) and also his general behavior changed. He then started doing drugs and cut himself off from all his friends/associates in the league and moved to Columbia, then Peru (his career had ended). If you watch the segment he is clearly a heavy former/active cocaine user. I've known more addicts in my life than I'd like to admit, and IMO it's dead on cocaine addiction. His choices on wear to live after he messed up his career are pretty telling as well. Anyway the TSN segment definitely paints the picture that the concussions are what led to his drug use and therefore his demise. Brain injury can definitely lead to behavioral changes and even increased desire to abuse drugs, but I doubt it's so clear cut. This guy was probably using coke way before any injuries occurred. Maybe the head trauma caused him to lose control, maybe he was already on that path anyway and the concussions are coincidental. Who knows. Morale of the story: Cocaine is a helluva drug. Good news is, after TSN shed light on the story, sounds like a lot of players have reached out to help him. Not sure how much they can help at this point, but it's somethin.

You like Austin Powers. What do we know about Dr. Evil? He turns out to be Austin's brother, but was made evil after being raised by, yup, Belgians. The writers are trying to tell us that Belgium is an evil lie. -

Didn't take long for me to find Belgian lies in this very thread. It's everywhere. -

2018-2019 Opening Night Roster - Dedicated to BlueAdams!
ChristopherReevesLegs replied to LeftWinger's topic in General
My initial impression of J Hughes is a good one. I was a Bouchard guy for most of last year, occasionally beating the Tkachuk drum, but I really changed my mind last second to Quinn Hughes (watched a lot of video draft week). Q Hughes is gonna be a great Dman, I like to think he plays the hold-on-to-the-puck Karlsson/Dahlin style offensive Dman game that I'm coming to appreciate more. Kids got mad speed and puck control for a Dman. Anyway, they're saying J Hughes is much better than his brother Quinn. If that's true he's probably real gud IMO. Maybe an 80 pt forward (aren't they shrinking the goalie pads soon?) IDK I haven't watched him play yet. Just measuring hype levels. -

Belgian beer, Belgian chocolate, and Belgian waffles... what do these three seemingly innocuous items have in common? None of them have PDO, PGI, TSG indicators (Wiki: Geographical Indicators) attached to them via the European Union. Why would the EU ignore traditional "Belgian" foodstuffs??? Because Belgium is not an actual place where these indicators can be applied. As to your question... are these "Belgians" Mer-men? Because all that exists there is water, or, to those who understand the Belgian lie, the Belgian Gulf (refer to my previous map). Leopold Louis Philippe Marie Victor, the first supposed "King of Belgium" was not actually from any royalty at all (how could he be, the country magically sprang up out of nowhere in the mid 1800s). Before the Belgian conspiracy started Leopold was actually a banker from the house of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. The very same house who had previously taken over the throne of England and afterwards changed their name to Windsor (that's a whole other rabbit hole I won't go down right now). Through business dealings and the connections of his powerful house, Leopold had come to posses large swaths of land around the Congo river in Africa. An area rich in valuable natural resources. In order to have real legitimacy over the region (and so he could justify his extraction of natural resources and his brutal reign over the native people) Leopold needed to enter the circle of European royalty. How did he do this? He called up his cousins in England, the Windsors, of course! In exchange for a good chunk of land in Africa, the Windsors officially recognized Leopold as the King of "Belgium" (an anglicized version of the Latin word Belgica, which was the name of the gulf during the Roman era). They then deployed the British Royal Navy to defend the Belgian gulf and keep undesirables (looking to undermine England's latest scheme and new territorial gains in Africa) out. The rest you could say is history. So to your answer your question... The Belgian gulf should probably be owned by the UK, and not France or the Netherlands. TLDR: Belgium is water -
No, but I am I am NOT that triflin' ho Kate (Jack or Sawyer, pick already you insufferable *****) True. Wings said they don't wanna give up assets in a big trade right now, but would pursue big fish on the UFA market if the fishes end up there. Needless to say, but Karlsson would get a hefty ransom on the open market, and would probably end up as our biggest UFA acquisition since nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

Zetterberg's status in 2 years. MOD WARNING PAGE 6
ChristopherReevesLegs replied to FireCaptain's topic in General
I also remember the DRW's back-to-back and ligma, but that's about it. -
...to losing to the Sharks in the playoffs every year. Yeah I miss it too. I could see Benning trading for Karlsson, then shipping him right out to us. Canucks are not at all prepared to "win now" and Benning would be willing to deal with Eastern teams, unlike Dorion and Melynk.

ChristopherReevesLegs replied to FireCaptain's topic in General
But if Zetterberg doesn't play our salary cap issues would be resolved right? I'm assuming Khan is assuming Zberg doesn't play. Zadina was an unexpected addition to the team, we've haven't had this kind of logjam at the forward position since nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table. -
hold up... WE used to be in the Western Conference!!! Things are lookin' up!
