  1. I admire your turn around. Admitting you had a problem is the first step in your recovery. We should stick together.
  2. Flames have committed/gambled 54 million dollars for Markstrom and Tanev.
  3. I can't stop laughing at this endless loop of crap. This should be part of the video review and game analysis the players are shown.
  4. I'm leaning towards Stralman and another good forward now rather than just Myers for years and years and a sad buyout at the end. When asked who would you like to teach Hughes the ropes while at the same time having hughes back to go full offense next year to help us to the playoffs, would you choose Myers or Stralman? Maybe Benning has other plans for Myers but it just too much commitment and risk to get to the playoffs next year as Benning needs for his job. Myers at 6 mil for 5 maybe but 8 mil is not on. Stralman also knows J.T. and vice versa.
  5. After watching a bunch of his video I have to agree with and be amused by the following synopsis of Pettersson: "Sublime two-way talent with jaw-dropping moves and a proclivity for making defenders look silly. Sure, he’s beyond wiry and could stand to spend more time with a fork in his hands, but every other block is checked. He can play either center or wing, and owning a ridiculously soft set of hands makes him a perfect fit for any power play. Saying Pettersson is your typical Swedish two-way pivot is too easy a way out. There’s a uniqueness about him, and his puck handling abilities are buttery smooth. As lanky as he looks, Pettersson is a bonafide assassin who absorbs hits while controlling the puck with his head up. He can handle a tough pass better than practically any of his draft peers. Pettersson isn’t an explosive skater with first-step quickness but can gain separation after a few strides. Plus, he’s a dangler with an acute hold on how plays develop." I'd take "sublime talent" and "jaw dropping moves" over a "6'-4" 210 lbs solid prospect" anyday. Adding 25 pounds and some acceleration training is easy. Its virtually impossible to add talent to a players game. Maybe we should give him a fork as a gift with a note "Welcome to Vancouver".
  6. Top 4 were forwards. Selecting the best D in the draft 2016 might turn out to be a great decision. You just never know at the draft. We picked Luc Bourdon (RIP) who may have been great and passed on Anze Kopitar.
  7. I'm liking getting an offensive defenseman that Juolevi can be. Getting scoring from the defense so great to watch. I miss Salo. I'm not saying Juolevi is a Salo but I'm liking the similar first name fun. Sami and Olli (and they are both Finnish). Hopefully he turns out to be a Sami.
  8. Bet you feel like an idiot now...Post again....in 10 years.
  9. Don't think too much, ie coaches, rock star hockey players, first camp. Just play your game, faster and harder than you ever have! All the best. I hope to see you with the big club this year.
