Also, I cannot wait until Josh Ho-Sang is Canada's MVP and gets a 7 year deal in Edmonton.

Also, I cannot wait until Josh Ho-Sang is Canada's MVP and trades a first round pick to Toronto for him and then gives him a 7 year deal in Edmonton.

Fixed.

China finalizes men's hockey roster for Beijing Olympics

Host China has finalized its roster for the men’s hockey tournament at the Beijing Olympics, which includes a dozen players from North America.

apnews.com

This is essentially the Kunlun Red Star roster.

And checking the Chinese nationals on the roster:.
The 7 skaters have played a combined 84 career KHL games (NOTE: all this season) and have 1 goal and 1 assist.
The one goalie is 32 and played just ONE career game in the KHL this season.

I saw an article (might have been in this thread) about how Kunlun was basically used this season to qualify players for the Olympic team, and they STILL got hammered in the KHL.
current standings 9W, 39L, for 25 points. (not sure what KHL scoring system is, 3 pts for reg win?)
-97 goal differential.
17 points back of the next worst team in their division

Yep essentially the whipping boys of the KHL.

Just a heads up - if Covid stays around I'm on the short list to be invited to Brisbane in 2024. And I took the fencing class as a goof in an attempt to pick up women*.....








*don't take a fencing class to pick up women, seems smart but it's not

Minister 1: “All of our governments are in incredible debt, our chronic hospital underfunding is being laid bare for all, we have no idea how long this pandemic is going to affect our population and we have a massive housing shortage.”

Minister 2: “Guys, I have the PERFECT solution!”
