Don't understand why you wouldn't play Hutch yesterday and save Hellebuyck for today.

Privacy laws have evolved so much in the last 10 - 15 years, I don’t think this is something government run lotteries can keep mandating long term. Especially when you see evidence that harm can and does happen to winners If the public trust is really at risk, you hire 3rd party auditors to make sure everything is above board and publish those results. The real problem lotteries have with this is that smiling faces with big cardboard cheques are better for advertising.

There was still no salary cap in the NHL when they were building the arena, so NHL hockey coming back was more a pipe dream then anything. Plus the funding model was predicated on the downtown location, which I believe limited the building size. Also, building it at that location is what got Thompson involved as he (or his holdings) owned the Eaton's building. Don't know if the Jets come back to Winnipeg without Thompson being part of True North.- Around the NHL 2017/2018

Scoring was way easier and higher back then. Last season Connor McDavid led the way with 100 points. (30G 70A). The 20th top scorer was Auston Matthews with 69 points (40G 29A) In Teemu's rookie season, Lemieux was top scorer with 160 points (69G 91A). And he did that in 60 games. The 20th top scorer was Fleury with 100 points (34G 66A). So Lemieux's assists alone would put him as the 2nd highest scorer last year. His goals alone in the top 20. And it wasn't just Lemieux with those kinds of numbers. #2 - Lafontaine 148 points #3 - Oates 142 points #4 Yzerman 137 points Teemu was 5th with 132 points.- Random News Items

Nope. Just worry about players with nagging injuries. He came back for a partial game and was back on IR. Not a good sign. Wouldn’t surprise me if we wasn’t back until next season. Also, Jets have been very aggressive in finding a centre at the deadline. That in itself is telling. Might not just be for depth.- Upcoming Movies

Foley looks to have decent upside. Jets dealing from a position of depth and always the risk these NCAA kids don’t sign and become eligible to sign with any team. This is the reason we’ve been stocking the cupboards. If Lowry comes back, he becomes your 4th line centre. Nice depth.- Around the NHL 2017/2018
