Does Sportsnet broadcast the AHL playoffs? I really want to watch Grabner/Raymond/Hansen/Rahimi/Edler.

THe last two games against Toronto will be on Sportsnet. I think that's the 13th and 14th? I could be wrong, go to the Moose site. They will be on TV though.

He's on his way to Iowa to meet with the team. He will be available to play if they choose to use him.

Awesome, we will get to watch the kids on sportsnet.

He appeared in 55 games in his third season the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL this year, scoring 39 goals and 16 assists for 55 points and 34 penalty minutes. In six post-season games with Spokane, the Villach, AUT native collected an assist and two penalty minutes.

Nice, I like it. When is Rahimi coming over? Do you think when Bourdon and Schneider's playoffs are done, they would come to the Moose as well?

I know there is a big question mark on Schneider on whether he'll turn pro or not, but what are your guys opinions?

Bourdon would for sure go to the Moose.....IF his team was elim this next round though they are highly favoured to move on.

It could be easier for one to organize with GDT, Junior Prospect, AHL prospects I'm fine the way things are, then again I know more than the "average" Canuck fan about what's going on with our prospects.

IMO the idea of a prospects section could be very ideal. Like the original poster had stated we could have basically 1 thread for each of our top prospects. That way you could have a poster like hiroshima only posting in Simek's thread and not necessarily bashing Grabner or our other prospects so much. For the lesser known prospects a thread could be created for them all. Also a thread could be created with all the stats of our prospects like the 1st page of this thread, as the original suggester had suggested.

Moose lost 2-3. Raymond and Hansen were both even +/- while Edler was a -1

Hopefully Grabner can have an impact in his first game like Raymond did in his first couple

Out of jealousy, hiroshima would just hijack Grabner's thread with more Simek semen.

Great news about Grabs. Gettin' a sniff at the pros before Simek! (That's just for hiroshima)

I did when I said it don't worry though for us it's better for Bourdon to advance to the Mem cup so we can see him again. For him both playing in the AHL or Mem cup isn't going to hurt him.

[timw33]

Going to have a log-jam on the Moose if Bourdon/Schnieds were to join.

Anyone know the prospect limit on the Moose?

[Toxic]

Hmph! Coulombe had 2 assists for Victoria, they won 6-4

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I remember reading somewhere that Shirokov has expressed interest in staying with CSKA next season. Obviously this isn't official and we won't know for quite some time what his intentions are however I just was wondering what other peoples thoughts are. IMO if he doesn't come over after this season the chances of him ever coming over drop drastically. And to be realistic even if he did come over next season there is always the chance that he changes his mind midseason and bolts back to Russia...

[Blister Soul]

Which European prospect would you rather have on the Moose? Shirokov or Rahimi?

[Millerdraft]

Rahimi. Shirokov's 5'0" frame frightens me.

[Wave19]

Isn't Shirokov 5'10"?

Yes, same height as Bure I think.

Earlier someone said Coloumb is awful, which is an ignorant statement in my opininon. Even when he was called up for the couple games he played with the 'nucks his offensive potential was very noticeable. However, he is tiny and was never able to handle the size of hulking NHLer forewards. He will be a valuble PP QB for the Moose in a few years.
