grabner didnt prove that he is a first rounder at all.bad pick nonis

What a moron, your defining this guys position as a first round draft pick based on six games, where Everret's goalie was and is a wall and their D was all over Grabner. It's a good bet the game plan for Everett was to take grabner out of it.

[hiroshima]

good excuse bud.but he should be smart and good enough,to find a way,how to break this wall,and score goal,and be outstanding,like u guys always talking about him.like i mean,he is not a good stickhandler at all,all he can is skate and shoot the puck.he is not at all a stickhandler,compare to simek and shirokov.and he is not a physical player,he cant stand up for himself,simek can,he showed that this year,that he can score,he can give passes for a scoring chance,can hit,can skate, and he has a plus,that he played pro back home,so he will do better then grabner in AHL in my opinion.

Ok comparing Grabner and Simeks skating ability is like Bure vs the Sedins. Both can skate well but Grabner is lights out better than Simek. Goal scoring ability well Grabner scored more goals in less games and didn't play with Burki, Delargo, Klinkhammer all top end players in the WHL. Also, since there hasn't been any wind of Grabner going anywhere yet and since he sat out the last 4 reg season games. I have a funny feeling he played hurt the whole series. Grabner will be better than Simek for sure.

Noone can answer my question?

This may have been asked before, but I am curious if Grabner can join the Canucks or one of our affiliates now that his team has been bounced from the playoffs. With unlimited roster space in the playoffs I think (if we could) he should be brought up to be with the team and kind of get a feel of what the playoffs and what being a pro is all about. As for him playing a game in the playoffs that is obviously far-fetched but I wonder if he can be called up at all

my impression is that he can even play with the canucks if nonis allowed him to, but most likely he can play for the moose right now, consider that the chief is being eliminated in the playoffs, but i am no expert in this field, so better verify with toxic rd.

Grabner can play for the Canucks yes, it wont happen though. If he began playing for the Moose, and he was called up we couldnt call up anyone else though, we only have 1 call-up left.

If he opts for pro this year, i think hell go to Victoria, the Moose roster is getting crowded, and the S-Kings sure as hell could use him, they actually have some good ECHL'ers he could play with as well, including a great ECHL set-up guy in F-P Guenette

simek didnt play with derlago and burki,just PP

I think he was talking about the playoffs where the amount of players allowed on the roster is unlimited. I don't think the call up rule applies to the playoffs so that wouldn't be a problem.

Also to answer hockeyboi89's question...Yes Grabner can be called up by either the Canucks, Moose or S-Kings. He is under contract with the Canucks and would probably have to sign an ATO with the Moose but it is a possibility that has been discussed several times. Getting a first hand experience at how the pro game is played would be great for a guy like Grabner but like you said, at this point in the season he wouldn't get much playing time.

We have three call-ups left, Tremblay and Edler were emergencies. Rypien wasn't though. The rule doesn't apply once the playoffs start though.

Shirokov's great playoff-run over

Sergei Shirokov is the next of the European Canuck draftees whose team has been eliminated from the playoffs. Shirokov’s team, CSKA, lost the semifinal series vs. Kazan by 1-3 games after losing Game 4 yesterday evening, 1-2.

Shirokov certainly was not to blame as he collected a point in each of the four games and finished the series with two goals and two assists.

The speedy winger picked up at least one point in nine of CSKA’s twelve postseason contests and accumulated four goals and seven assists along with four PIM.
Besides two multiple-point games in a first round sweep over Togliatti, Shirokov put together a three-game point streak in the second round vs. Ufa and followed that up by a four-game point streak in the semifinal against Kazan.

Too bad for him. He did very well in the playoffs.

Now we gotta sign him and get him over here during the international transfer window

[Blister Soul]

When does that start?

First post on the new system....

I'm confused by it.

Thanks for helping me out with that one. I dont think he should be playing with the Canucks I just suggested him being with the team to kind of get a feel of the NHL and the NHL playoffs.

You really oughta get off your knees 'cause your blind homerism has Simek's c*** so far down your throat it's coming out your a**. Simek is on an overall stacked team. Grabner is not!

I'm confused by the new quoting system. This is way more complex than the ROC invision boards I was on.

Hiroshima doesn't know sh*t.

Grabner can dish out the hits.

OMAHA, Neb. -- With goals being hard to come by lately, Scott Arniel continues to tinker with his lines in an effort to find balance.

Although the head coach of the Manitoba Moose reserved the right to change things again before tomorrow's game against the Omaha Knights, Arniel shuffled each of his units for practice.

Brad Moran was skating alongside Jason Jaffray and Jannik Hansen, Nathan Smith was between Lee Goren and Jesse Schultz, Marc Chouinard centred Brandon Reid and Mason Raymond and J.J. Hunter found himself with Mike Brown and captain Mike Keane.

A fifth unit featured Colby Genoway, who is nursing a minor knee injury, with Brendan Brooks and defenceman Patrick Coulombe.

"I don't want to be a one-line hockey team, where we can get shut down," said Arniel. "I want to see some different combinations, most times when you go deep in the playoffs you have to use different people in different situations. I wanted to mix the lines up a little bit. We'll get back to things here after this road trip."

Nice to see Hansen is still gonna get top-line minutes even though Moran got re-united with Jaff.
