Cranky Old Men are in the house once again at the annual CIM mining Convention, soaking in the Vancouver sun and wrap tapping the Mining Now show with Jerrod and Rory. Back in the day these conferences were all about drinking triples, seeing double and acting single....
The good news, there are still two Canadian teams on the trail for the cup. The bad news, they are playing each other. The good news, there will be one Canadian team make it to the third round. The bad news for Oilers fans, it will probably be Vancouver. Which is...
