No Canucks game on tonight so might as well go out to the Rink on Renfrew to watch the T-Birds vs. Giants. Get a chance to watch Prab Rai play against his peers and see him first hand. As well this is the first game back for Chris Cloud after the Giants released him in the overage shuffle and the T-Birds picked him up. Chris has been quoted as saying he isn't bitter, but intends to show the Giants staff that they released the wrong player.

Should be an easy win for the Giants tonight. T-Birds are 0-4-0-0 to start the season. Dead last in the WHL. Even Portland has 2pts. Giants are 4-0-0-1 which include 2 shutouts. In their 5 games the Giants have outscored their opponents 23-8. Only loss was in Kamloops where they held 2-0 and 3-1 leads before getting into major penalty trouble in the 3rd and allowed the Blazers to come back and force the shootout.

He's only had one 65pt season = 0.902pts/game. Blum last season had 64pts and he is a Dman.

In the first 4 games this season he has 2G 0A and is -2. I still think that the Canucks were reaching for a 5th round pick and saw no one, then saw a Surrey kid and took him to try and draw a new segment of fan.

Stefenfish, Reghner or Larsen would've been decent picks too.

1st period: No so good for Prab. Took a needless slashing call to put the Giants on the PP and they score to make it 3-0.
2nd period: WOW! NO ONE on the 'Birds came to play tonight. Haven't heard Prabs name on the radio this period.
3rd Period: And the goals keep coming. Rai got a shot on a PP but other than that did nothing. Too bad about the shutout. Giants gave up a breakaway and Sexy got a piece but not enough. Then was probably asleep on the final T-Birds goal due to lack of work.

[marleau_12]

Aww, I wish I was at this game! I got season tickets available to me too!

[old_time_hockey]

OK, so lets recap Prabs game:

0G, 0A, -1, 2PIM (Giants scored when he was in the box)

Didn't really do anything out there.

So for all the people that were on here telling me that I didn't know WTF I was talking about when I said Prab was a waste of a pick...and to the one extreme douche that called me a racist because I was just picking on the brown kid even though this douche had never seen Prab play or ever been to a WHL game - I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prab is NOT NHL material. Maybe AHL, could play ECHL. He has had 1 good point season and years of NOTHING before that.

OK, I can hear some of you now "oh, but one bad game doesn't mean anything". It isn't just one game. He has yet to prove that he can consistantly get it done.

Kruise Reddick went to an NHL camp.

He was one of the first cuts.


Azevedo was a 20 year old player in the OHL.

Rai is a 5th rounder. He's certainly not a blue chip prospect and not likely to make the NHL. Its rare that a 5-7 round pick makes the NHL. He was picked based on two things... his wheels and he's a local boy. If he ever even makes the Moose, it'll be an accomplishment for him.

Wow, when you get your balls roasted for a 5th rounder, you know too many people are getting Cheetos grease all over their keyboards and watching re-runs of Xena

Exactly.

From the looks of CDC, it's working.
