  1. The next coming of Jannik Hansen? Please be the case, our third line needs speed.
  2. Not much tape on this guy but here are some highlights from his draft year.
  3. He's Brad Lambert's uncle. Firing Trotz seems like a bad idea to replace him with a rookie coach. Maybe the Islanders draft him?
  4. Just watching Horvat mic'd up and it really showed his leadership abilities. It looks like Miller and Horvat work really well with each other on the leadership of the team

      He's not a bum. I do feel he's overrated. He would be a perfect 3rd line centre and there's no shame in that.

      Bo and Miller connect well together....I like how Miller can blast a pass at Bo knowing he'll redirect it in. Some Bodinery stuff there.

      a good leader recognizes the strengths in other leaders and gives space for those strengths to come to the surface where it's helpful.  Bo, obviously, is not the kind of leader who is insecure in his abilities there, he doesn't "need" to be in the spotlight as a leader.........as he shouldn't.  He's a manager of personalities and he clearly does it well.  That's a real leader, imo

  5. Horvat having a statement game.

      I think you meant Pettersson.

  6. Russia just invaded Ukraine. I am at a loss of words.

      All good, I've seen many questions about Ukraine's nuclear arsenal pop up lately, so I figure I'd set the record straight.

       

      If you're interested, search up the Budapest Memorandum. You'll find a lot of useful context behind Ukraine's present security situation, including why they got rid of their nukes. I still need to dig through some of the details myself.

       

      Regarding the EA, some people are deluded and completely lack perspective. Not worth engaging with them, honestly.

      I'll make sure to add that into my reading. I am currently reading so much things for class but I feel the need to become more knowledgeable about Ukraine.

       

      I got access to a lot databases so I can probably find them.


      Thanks! It's weird to thank Brad Marchand, i know it's a user name but still weird but thanks!

      Truth be told, I don't consider myself any sort of expert, I'm piecing together what I know based off what I've read in limited doses. I certainly didn't have as much time for this sort of thing when I was in school.

       

      I adopted my username ten years ago as a bit and was too lazy to change it back haha.

  7. It's not uncommon that H can be silent or soft in dialects of English. I am not really that surprised but I don't I have ever heard her say her name until now.
  8. Just reminder, hockey players are a human beings and not invincible.

    Everyone can have issues with their mental health.

    Take care of your mental health everyone.

      @DevronJust whenever you get a chance, give yourself a nice break. I find it always helps, listening to good tunes, drawing, writing, playing video games, watching Canucks games etc. they all help

       

      I wish nothing but the best for you.

      @warrchief ...nice post and reminder and advice.  I'm 100% with you and others who are suffering from mental and emotional issues in their lives. It wasn't my intention to antagonize you or belittle the seriousness of mental and emotional health matters in previous post so I'm sorry for that (the direction I was going with my post had nothing to do with the way you interpreted it, but I've learned from my wife that even though something that is said or done with unintended response/interpretation/consequence, if it makes someone feel a certain way, then harm has been done). 

       

      I'm one of the very fortunate ones who lives a charmed life, so I have a myopic and black & white view of the world sometimes.  Olive branch extended...can we be friends?

      @bigbadcanucksAll good, I think I got a little too heated too bud. Sorry for that on my behalf and sure I always welcome more friends. Being a Canucks fan is tiring huh? It's always good to have reconciliation!

       

      Now lets get ready to root for the Canucks on Thursday against the Lames :towel:

  9. "Snowflake brush" what? Motte has depression is providing awareness for it. Is he a snowflake? Jordin Tootoo who is a recovering addict? Is a snowflake? Daniel Carcillo and his awareness for CTE injuries? Those guys are warriors physically and mentally. Everyone is human and they are most certainly not all tough as nails. I guarantee that there are many others silently suffering. A sports psychologist helps with performance with techniques to get back into a good mindset. You lost me with your comment on "snowflakes". It is quite obvious you have no empathy.
  10. I wasn't pro but I did get offered to wrestle at a div 3 college. I got hurt so yeah that unfortunately ruined my short little career although I know I was not ever good enough for the Olympics or World Championships. Yeah, people who get to the Olympics/WC were light years ahead of me and my short Div 3 career. Pressure to perform is the worst but you are right. I think a lot of pro athletes get pampered once they "make it" players who fight for their careers usually do pretty good, like Lamikko, Highmore or even Motte. I think Horvat is just not focusing on hockey. He recently got a ton of sponsorships and he had been posting that on social medias. I think a lot of it is stuff going on outside of the rink. I believe in him and I know he can bounce back like Petey did.
  11. I was in this same position a month ago defending Pettersson who many said "had regressed" or "topped out". Whatever, you guys win. I said my piece but I will tell that it is part of why we don't get big UFAs. Our taxes, media and burn at the stake fans. Horvat is a good player who needs some positives in his game and he certainly does not get that from the fans. Horvat is either banged up or is mentally drained. As someone who did high level sports, the mental drain, the expectation that you have to play the hardest you can 100% of the time, is probably the worst. It is easy enough as fans to criticize players but we never played at the NHL level and we don't know what that does to them. I am tired of this, just patience and not throwing players under the bus. No one needs this negative attention/energy.
  12. God, the Sedins had a similar leadership style but just throw Bo under the bus. Just because someone is loud doesn't discount Horvat's captaincy or leadership skills. He was, is and will be a good captain whether you think of it otherwise. Hop off the bandwagon, we don't need fans like you. No wonder we will never get any big name FAs coming here. Horvat is a consistently good faceoff man. Horvat improves the powerplay. Horvat does plenty for the community. Horvat is there for his teammates.
  13. If you can get an overpayment like that from NYR then why not? I love Horvat and Miller but if the return is that colossal then by all means go ahead and do it.
