I love Travis Bond but I've read this a few times from various sources and it's not the full story. Bond did not transform our OL. He was very, very good and a large part of the transformation. But it was not done in isolation. Our OL went from Bryant-Hardrick-Goossen-Chungh-Neufeld to Bryant-Bond-Goossen-Chungh-Hardrick, but most importantly, Willy came out and Nichols came in. Nichols gets rid of the ball much faster than Willy.... and I mean it's not even close. We're going from worst QB in the league in terms of release-time to one of the best. This all happened at the same time so it's not fair to pin it all on Bond. He was great... but the OL isn't going to disintegrate without him, just like it didn't disintegrate without him at the end of last season.

Oh the thread title is a pot joke. Ha ha ha. I get it now.

I remember when I got back into wrestling about five years ago, I had to get caught up on the previous fifteen years and Jeff Jarrett being a big star was one of the most baffling things to me. I only remembered him as the country-music-star who would strut around and break his guitar over people's backs.

Whether he fits bb1's contrived definition of superstar or not, it is just plain silly to suggest Laine should be on the top line regardless of how well or poorly he is playing. That's not how you develop a young star, that's how you ruin one.

Baines? He'll make it to camp. If we plan to start 2 Canadian receivers we'll need the depth. Right now it looks like Demski, Coates, Wolitarsky, and Baines will hold those four spots with Henry, Thera-Plamondon, and any draft picks fighting for a spot.

I guess we can build around Laine like Washington has built around Ovechkin, because that has worked out really well for them

True. Baines averaged 123 yards and a TD per game in his last season with the Gee-Gees. He was a legit Canadian college star receiver.

Exactly, so if you want to derail your opponent, just pay some woman to level a false accusation and it's game over.

Baines is Coates 2.0

I think the lack of NHLers has greatly increased the parity and unpredictability of the tournament

Yeah but only after each individual eligible voter has carefully weighed the issues and cast their vote accordingly.

Actually the PCs have told him he is not welcome to run in the next election. I don't want all women silenced but don't you think it's a little crazy that an accusation with no proof can ruin someone's life?

Dumbest thing I've ever heard

Right and the court of public opinion just cost this man his political career.

Lives and careers being destroyed. Who needs a court when you can just #Believethevictim?

You can't run a team by saying "OK everyone give full effort and play according to the system, except you Laine, you're really good so don't worry about it." It doesn't matter how good a shooter or passer he is... he has to play within the system and give 100%. You can't have a princess on the team.

No concerns whatsoever but can't expect him to stay on the top line while he works through it.

Laine has to learn there is more to the game than just shooting the puck

Great to see our reputation among the players. I imagine Fenner will be lining up at HB. Really excited about this signing... I didn't expect it.

Half true? So you don't always finish top three?

Awesome! The more locals the better, IMO.

They both signed eight-year deals in July 2014. So the 2015 Cup was on the new deal but the 2010 and 2013 Cups were not.

Well if they are blowing things up in Chicago, who knows what he wants? Lots of guys like to go to those southern teams. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't.

Yeah... any perennially struggling club like Arizona, Carolina, or Florida would be crazy to turn down Toews, even at 10.5 mil for the next 5 years.

Wrestling in its purest form
