Spokane 4
Seattle 5 (OT)
2/16/2007
 

In the last regular season meeting between the two teams, the Spokane Chiefs, despite Michael Grabner’s hat trick, lost to the Seattle Thunderbirds 5-4 in overtime.  
Grabner’s third goal in two games gave the Chiefs a 1-0 lead 3:36 into the game. Grabner scored on a power play after being run head first into the boards by Seattle’s Radek Meidl, which drew just a two minute minor penalty. Sean Zimmerman and Stephane Lenoski assisted on the goal. The hit by Meidl seemed to fire up Grabner as he converted an Adam Hobson feed for his 30th goal of the season and second of the night at 14:59 of the first. Jared Spurgeon also assisted on Grabner’s tally that gave the Chiefs a 2-0 lead after one.

What a *.

? how

Maybe he is talking about Meidl. Whether it was accidental or not(doubt it) a hit from behind is a cheapshot. *...

from what i've read, lars eller would be a great pick up with one of our second rounders, pending we deal any of the second rounder before the 27th. you never know if lars eller and jannik hansen will be on a line together one of these days; the dane line.

Nononono, he's not a top 2 defender, he's the best Right defender we have, LD and RD are very different, we have good LD's and no great RD's

Fredheim was drafted by the canucks in 05. He was 1 of the most heavily recruited d-men out of american High School. An offensive defense man with a hard slap shot he's in his freshman year at CC. So looking over his stats i'm willing not to judge because he is in his freshman year. However, he is also 19 and should be doing better

Bunch of prospects in action tonight.

Grabner
Simek
Ellis
Raymond

Bourdon a +1 in a 4-1 win.

Well he did have 4 shots and 6 hits so it's not like he's playing horrible. It's always hard to adjust to a new team especially offensively for a D. Powerplays are different and you have to get used to different players. Hopefully the points will come soon.

He's had i think over a month with them, the free grace period is over

Hi, I'm wondering where does Bourdon rank in terms of potential among the defencemen in his draft class.

Jack Johnson
Brian Lee
Luc Bourdon
Marc Staal
Sasha Pokuluk
Ryan Parent
M E Vlasic

Above are some of the notable defencemen from the 05 draft (in order drafted).

From that list, only Vlasic is playing in the NHL right now. However, I think that J J will ultimately turn out to be the best from that list.

With the Forsberg trade, I've heard some people say that Parent>Bourdon. Is that really true?

[Naslund01]

I was wondering a few things. I heard that that prospect Rahimi is supposed to be really good. Anyone know what kind of a Defenceman he is? I assume he is a hard-nosed kind but I wasn't sure. And also, who do you guys think is out top prospect? If the canucks had to lose all but one of our prospects who would you guys keep?

I would either keep Schneider but seeing that we have Luongo I would pass, Koltsov has the most promise but he may never come to NA or play for us so I would go with Grabner, he can score and we need scoring.

Rahimi is shutdown defenseman. Doesn't get too many points.

I would probably keep Schneider. Hopefully when Luongo's contract is up we can sign him cheap. Koltsov has said he will come over next year.

Yeah that's true. Maybe he isn't getting the same amount of PP time he was in Moncton. But I don't know, I seem to find myself defending Bourdon even though I agree he is stuggling. All we can do is hope for the best.

How soon can he play for the Moose? End of this season or the start of next season?

Parent is a better defensive defender than Bourdon is, he is all D all the time.

Only time will tell who will be better from that list, my guess is that JJ should be near the top.

Simek had an assist tonight.
