In case you liked those game day posters they did last year, they are offering the top four vote getters and the artists' pick for sale. Get 'em here.

Why is the guy mowing lavender? Is he not enjoying Provence?

I'm guessing the Flames one didn't garner many votes because who really wants a poster of a guy in his underwear phoning in a bomb threat to Nationwide Arena.

That rhymes Marge, you know it does.

/In all seriousness, I've heard some good things about Basil, this looks to be a solid hire for the Jackets.

He did have the best cameo in the Mighty Ducks movies.

Anytime you can hire a former North Stars tough guy, you do it.

L-R (as best I can tell).
Tyutie, Nasher, Shelley, Jake, Wiz, Dorsett, Boll, Commodore and I believe Kris Russell.

This was Boll's wedding last weekend.

If that's not Voracek, it's this guy:

Sweep the leg!

Putting it in other terms; one tenth(ish) what we pay Clarkson

Or one third(ish) what we paid Boll.

If he scores 2 goals, he's better than those two already.

Oh, and this.

Anaheim To Winnipeg: The Worst Player On Every Current NHL Roster

Lot of former (and current) Blue Jackets on this list. By my count 7 have at one time played in Cbus.

Too early to drink?


The only hope I had was that Torts would flameout and Bednar, who just won the Calder Cup with the kids, could step in.

Now there is nothing in that coaching cupboard. Hartsburg left, Hinote pretty much isn't allowed near the team (cheerleaders more specifically) and now Bednar is likely gone.




We're gonna wind up with Ron Wilson, you watch.

Few things...
1) The focus is how much he deliberated on taking Gilbert Brule over Anze Kopitar. How that was even a question...

2) At one point, they somewhat scoff at the Habs for taking "the goalie". Carey Price.

3) They are offered #12, #35 and a fifth for pick six. That was Marc Staal and Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

Not defending that regime because they got literally almost everything wrong for many years, but it's not like picking Brule at the time over Kopi was a huge shock or crazy. He was the third-highest scorer in the W in a season in which the first and second-leading scorers were drafted two years before Brule would be (and the fourth-highest was drafted a year before them) and all played for a Wheat Kings team that made it to the WHL final. I'm sure there were just as many teams that had Brule higher on their board than Kopitar as there were vice versa.

Also, Jack Johnson, Bobby Ryan and Benoit Pouliot were all also taken before Columbus got to pick were, two of whom who were taken by GM's that would win the next two Stanley Cups. Hawks, Sharks, Canucks and Sens all whiffed before the Kings finally took Kopi as well. Lots of people missed on this one.
