Yup, I was right. But how the hell did I remember that :?:

I'm pretty sure Grabner wore number 40 well he was @ training camp.

All of our major prospects have worn that number, including Bourdon. I think they should give him number 10.

Oh my f*cking gawd was that ever a painful 6 page read.

I came on here to read if Grabner decided to pick up his jock strap in elimination game #1 after being absentee all series. Instead I got whinyA$$ panzies complaining how their E-feelings were hurt by Toxicrd's blunt honesty. Seriously. Pull up your panties ladies, your p*ssies are showing.

Thanks to Toxic for updating at all. Thanks to itzabreeze for the Raymond article. Thanks to the poster who posted the Shirokov article. And a big thanks to tim33 for the "Grabner hits the post" update which cured my curiosity. You guys stopped my eye hemorrhage. Oh and finally, no f@<king thanks to you whiners who just wasted 10 minutes of my life.

PS: Odds that Grabner's a Moose this season?

No problem about the Grabner update.

Isn't there a rule limiting the amount of Canuck prospects allowed on the Moose team?

[Millerdraft]

Gotta hand it to ya itzabreeze. You nailed the Raymond jump. Mind you I was never even close to willing to put money on it but I did wonder ever so slightly if he wanted the degree. He got an award for his scholastic achievement, did he not? Why throw away a degree when you're so smart? But yeah. Him carrying a team a sh!t team for two more years was a longshot.

Bah. Wtf kind of rule is restricting the amount of prospects a team can have on it's farm team?! That's like telling a potatoe farmer he can only plant so many potatoes on one of his fields while the rest of the crop has to be weeds. But if we have no choice an easy solution is bubye Reid, hello Grabner. Unless that's not a legit loophole.

I don't think so. As long as the prospect is 20 or did not play in the CHL they are eligible to play. The only problem is that the Moose can only have room for so many players. For example right now they have 8 capable defensemen, and unless guys like Rahimi and Bourdon can prove they are worthy to take any of those D's spot then they may have to just sit and watch.

Anyways over on the Moose boards they think Grabner will be a nice addition considering that the Moose have struggled offensively as of late. Also I did end up answering my own question from a few pages back. Players under contract such as Grabner, Bourdon and Rahimi can still sign ATO's and play for the Moose despite not being on the clear day roster.

Give him 92 or 93, whatever his birth year was

92 or 93 would make him 14 or 15 years old...

Bourdon update from the Screaming Eagles official blogger, personally sent to me. (dont get over-exctied breeze)

Luke

You'll be happy to see that my Luc Bourdon first round report is a lot more
glowing than my rather angry Luc Bourdon "down the regular season stretch"
report.

Most fans were quite disappointed with what they perceived as a lack of
intensity from Luc during most of his regular season play here. However, in
the first round of the playoffs, Luc really looked like he had turned things
up a few notches and really looked to be playing with a lot more intensity.

I'm still not getting too too excited, as it was only two playoff home games
during which we saw this apparent improved intensity from him, but it's a
step in the right direction. Down the stretch when many were cursing him,
some people kept saying, "Wait till the playoffs, then you'll see the real
Luc Bourdon." I for one said to that, "I'll believe it when I see it", but
in round one at the very least, we saw it. Of course, our playoff success
and his contributions here won't be measured based on a first round series
against an expansion team, but it's a good start.

As you saw, Luc had three assists in the series, two of them coming on the
powerplay; good to see powerplay units with Luc on them finally putting the
puck in the back of the net. For the longest time, it seemed that whatever
PP unit he was on just couldn't produce. Of course, any offense from him is
a bonus, we picked him up to be a shutdown guy.

Anyhow, we'll see how he and the team look next round, but as for the first
round, we Eagles fans couldn't have asked for too much more from anyone on
the team, including Mr. Bourdon.

Here's hoping that you'll get to see this guy play in Vancouver before the
year's over.

Thanks for continuing to come to me for updates even though the last one was
rather scathing.

I figured the WJC Bourdon would show up sooner or later. Not too many players relish the idea of switching through 6 teams in 2 years( WJC 06, 07, Canucks, Val D'or, Moncton, Cape Breton).

IF Grabner goes back to juniors next year I hope he's traded to a different team. Spokane SUCKS!

Actually they should be pretty good next year, they were a young team with little experience this year.

New front page is in process, it will take time, and tweaking so dont expect it today

[-mb]

Thanks for the Boudon update toxic. Thats the kind of stuff that really makes me appreciate your work. Not only do you go out of your way to get your hands on a first hand opinion but you're generous enough to share it with the rest of us.

And yeah, this new forum will take some getting used to.

[themcleanianone]

nice update, im not sure what to make of this though. Is it he doesnt play with intensity sometimes?

[itzabreeze]

My eyes....... this is going to take some time getting used to.
