Fortunately, Molson learned on the job. Most owners don't.

Salary cap came in after the big lockout - for the 2005-2006 season.

If anyone can do it, they can. They aren't quite perfect (it doesn't look like Filip Mesar is going to make it) but they are as close to it as you will ever come, especially with later picks like Hutson, Pickford and even Fowler. And they do pay attention to character and brains.

Definitely.

Thanks, Randell. Yes, it's been a transformative stretch and it's altered our perception of what can actually be done through the draft and trades.

Ouch.

You have my vote.

Oooh brave little MAGA troll in mommy's basement.

If you had to face me, old as I am, you'd run like the cockroach you are, Alice.

Note how she puts her name and pic on it and you don't?

It's called cowardice, what you have.

Copying the guy they fired without admitting it.

Aerodynamic crotches.

Is that an erotic fantasy or a nightmare?

Thanks
