Buffalo finally sends Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to St. Louis, I think this is a good trade for the Blues, and maybe for Buffalo as well depending on what they get for the draft picks

I used to be so into junior hockey. I'm not sure why my interest waned.

I believe RM will play up to his old self once he gets to StL. Not based on anything tangible, just my gut feeling

Also, one of the big reasons I love the WHL is that I think it's the most entertaining $20 there is

So the Tips weren't playing tonight, so I listened to the Kelowna @ Vancouver game tonight (Vancouver lost 3-1 which helps the Tips) on the Kelowna station. The play-by-play announcer said over and over that they were coming to us from Downtown Vancouver. Now I've been to that beautiful city a few times, the Pacific Coliseum is in Hastings Park, which is DEFINITELY not Downtown, it isn't even Downtown Eastside (thank goodness), I kept yelling at the radio "YOU'RE NOT FECKING DOWNTOWN" but to no avail

Yeaa, the Pacific Coliseum is definitely not downtown Vancouver...Not even on the right side of the Lion's Gate !

Ive actually never been to the Coliseum for anything...Rogers Arena and BC Place are both absolutely incredible venues though.

^ not sure if there's a name for that area unless it's Hastings Park, I'd just loosely define it as Eastside Vancouver

Laces Out Dan! · 03-02-2014, 02:11 PM

Yeaa, I've always just called it Hastings Park.

BTW Seattle stopped Portland's 21 game winning streak, one game short of the WHL record.

Hope this link works to see the whole timeline of tweets but this is very cool. David Perron asking about hockey advanced stats. Good convo with mc79 who is also very very smart. Even tho he seems doubtful of its usefulness, I like to see him acknowledge that there's something there in analytics and he seems genuinely interested in how it works. Quality stuff
