Jordan7hm posted:Hey, I think Hayes is worth a flyer (he's as close to a free prospect as you can find and would be an RFA after the contract, so why the hell not?). But that's true for most teams, not just Calgary. I just can't see Hartley buying into the idea of playing three rookies together because of their college success unless they had immediate NHL success. Yeah I'm not suggesting he would or should throw them together right away, but I could see them eventually trying it out at some point if they got all three, hell maybe even in preseason.

11-5 Canada over USA at the Ivan Hlinka tournament.  Not sure what they're feeding our boys these days, but man they pretty much just overpowered them. You'd think you let in five goals that'd be a loss or at best tight game normally, especially against a team that has some degree of caliber like USA, but nope. Czech Republic could provide a challenge for sure though and I'd imagine Canada ends up in it's first really close game of the tournament as a final should be. I mean they've been rock solid all tournament too and haven't lost a game either, but the steamroller just kind of looks in full motion now for Canada on the way to gold medal 7 and like they're the favorites going in on paper.In other news Russia finally won a game for 7th place against Slovakia. Good for them.

Wayne Gretzky posted:On the other hand expansion and outdoor games have significantly increased hockey's popularity in non traditional areas. wouldn't you say this is (somewhat) related to hockey becoming more 'safety' focused? Less fights, higher glass, no head shots etc. or do you think they're unrelated? Rotten Cookies posted:This is the Isle's last season at the Coliseum, so cheap seats (like $7 seats) might be a thing of the past next year. also 7. Dollar. Seats.

Sure, but I meant more that increased exposure kind of puts more of a media spotlight on you. Or is it just inevitable that after a certain amount of time/injuries, any sport has to get safer

Considering how much the American south loves football, NASCAR, and combat sports, I don't think safety is a huge concern in the sports they play/watch. Increased exposure around the country isn't likely to change those attitudes either. I'm not sure if this post directly relates to what you're getting at though.

PK's doing the Ice Bucket Challenge live on City News very shortly for all those that are interested. It's going to involve a dump truck. Probably the same one he's going to keep all his money in.
