  1. Still a lot of under utilized water courses in Canada. NIMBY has been the stumbling block of many generation projects, whether they are Hydro, Wind, Gas, Nuclear, Solar. Everyone wants the power, no one wants the responsibility of dealing with flooding, mercury, birds, aesthetics, greenhouse gases, waste with extremely long half lives etc… Ontario is around 50% nuclear generation and it has been pretty reliable. I know little about these huge data servers but don’t they also perform better and use less power in a cold environment?
  2. Elite talent should have found its way onto this team by drafting top 10 for like 15 years including 2x #1 and 2x #2. The return for some elite talent that left was below elite. As you state, management is the constant through all of this.
  3. If they bring the must win intensity of the Canes game they will prevail, and that would be a winning streak.
  4. I am not interested in Quinn Hughes. He is Bryson sized and one dimensional. His offensive abilities are excellent but the Sabres need robust defensive types. Dahlin can produce nearly as much while bringing some hits and more defense. Hughes’ Norris trophy is a reflection of the view of Art Ross for Dmen vs all around Dmen. Besides, he probably doesn’t want to come to Buffalo and have to share the #1 slot with Dahlin. Sherwood would be a good addition if extended.
  5. They can play D, having been to the finals. They just haven’t done so this year. I am just trying to get rid of a goalie and get an asset for him.
  6. They need one of our goalies.
  7. https://www.usahockeyntdp.com/news_article/show/1350482?referrer_id=3865497 The other link had tons of stuff on team CHL, this one is team USA.
  8. Tons of scouts in Calgary for the CHL vs USA prospects game tonight. Game two tomorrow in Lethbridge. https://chl.ca/prospectschallenge/
  9. Speaking for myself, we still heat our home with wood and all of it is split by hand. Despite being in my 60’s I can still swing my driver (golf) at more than 100 mph.
  10. Winning three in a row has been a real big hurdle for this team in what seems like forever. I agree that there is a sliver of hope, they just need to have more of a sense of urgency than the plenty of runway attitude.
  11. Doan has some Mark Stone in him, strong on the puck, good forechecker and able to steal pucks. I like his work thus far and he should improve as he gains experience.
  12. He wouldn’t get one lap in due to the hacks and whacks from the forum members.
  13. Only two teams in the Atlantic division have a positive goal differential, Tampa and Ottawa.
  14. And the inability to win any draws kills possession time and allows the opposition to clear it every time.
