I watched that Trouba hit happen and you could see it coming. It was textbook for getting smoked. Don Cherry used to call it "getting caught in the trolley tracks". Player carrying the puck over the blue line cuts left or right, has his attention on the puck, and the d-man steps up and just smokes him. Happened to Doug Gilmour in the 1993 playoffs: I hate seeing guys hurt, especially if it's a brain injury. The NHL has to cut this out of the game. Too many hockey players I know are now affected for life due to multiple concussions suffered by hits that probably didn't need to happen, but were considered "legal".

I think that he's right. "If You Could Read My Mind" is one of the most perfect songs ever written.

What an amazing album. I remember growing up listening to that album, many many times. I followed your lead and am giving it another listen now...and that's when I remembered that it was Gord that wrote and first performed the song "Ribbon of Darkness Over Me" which of course has always been credited to Marty Robbins. Not so. Gord you are truly a Canadian gem that touched so many lives. RIP old friend.

One of the most "beautiful" songs ever written, in my extremely biased opinion.... Many a time I've had to listen to Gord's soothing words to calm me down after a Bomber or Jets loss....

Just having so many flashbacks to the Mike Smith/Fergie years. Every year was either "a great chance to build off the successes of last year" or "we are seeing the results of the long term plan and the plan is working" except that it was always one step forward and then two steps backwards. I always was looking forward to the new prospects coming in every year like Ehlers/Morrissey/Laine/Connor etc but do we even have anyone of that caliber anymore in development? Or is the depth and future of this team just toast now?

Always good to listen to a good song, and learn something about Canada while you are doing it!

every Canadian household should own a copy of "Gord's Gold" lol....I've listened to it so many times I know every word of every song.

Thanks for that. I would like to see the players try and hoist O'Shea up, he'd probably lay a beat down on all of them lol...mostly just because he wouldn't want the moment to be about him...

Trouba blew up Timo Meier in a massive hit. Looked like Scott Stevens kind of crap.

Holy Kraken! Take out the Avalanche. Wow night of upsets.

Florida just won't die...

Mike Kelly for Jets coach!! He and Wheeler can handle everything internally....

Even Stephen Lee Olsen is weighing in on our chances now... What you're made of!

Florida is still alive!!

maybe we can do some bake sales here in Kelowna and arrange to have the Stamps move to the Okanagan lol...

I don't think I'd call Jyodi Gondek a "Con". I am not a fan of hers but hats off to all the politicians for finally moving this forward, as it would be a shame for the Flames to move to Cleveland or something like that. Now, they need to focus on their next big project, getting a new stadium for the Stamps to play in so they can bull doze that rat infested dump McMahon.

That was a sweet moment to share with all twelve fans in attendance.

I prefer soft money, easier to carry.

Yeah Capo definitely surpassed Stanley this year. There are fire hydrants on Winnipeg streets that surpassed Stanley this year.

Carolina looks to take a 3-1 lead in their series. No surprise there.

The Jets have to find a way to generate some scoring chances. Vegas let up in the 3rd but then totally tightened it up again in OT.
