Nice. Props to Boeser on the sell job too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 There've been anecdotal reports emanating from Utica, of overly enthused, inebriated fans drinking alcoholic beverages from a prosthetic leg, during the process of boisterously supporting their team. :^) This persistent rumour alone, will likely net us 5~7 college FA's... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the stuff of legend. I don't recall ever seeing anyone drinking from it, but I have seen someone rip that leg off and hold it above their head and shake it like a Tusken Raider. It's a damn shame they can't fit more than 3000 fans in that arena, but they are among the most rowdy fans in North America. I doubt if that would affect anyone's decision to sign a contract, but it certainly doesn't hurt having that kind of support behind your team. I agree with those that say Larsen has the leg up (pun intended) on Biega for a spot on the Canucks. Biega deserved a callup spot this year, but since he's an undersized D-man, he would likely clear waivers and have the C pinned on his chest in Utica. Stetcher needs some seasoning in the A before he gets the call, unless he goes full on Hutton and steals a spot. With Bennings recent comments about needing 11 D-men however, it would make no sense to have Stetcher make the team. Great signing, even though it probably one of the easiest sell jobs Benning will ever have to make. The kid was wearing a Canucks sweater to NDU practices.

Soft hands that can pass as well as let rockets fly. Excellent vision and a playmaker's knack for the game. Very aware and responsible defensively, but is not comfortable having the puck in his own end for too long and will take it upon himself to get the puck out of the defensive zone.

Thanks to Benning and the whole coaching staff selling him on the team as well as Boeser. Just cause he's a fan doesn't mean he was always going to sign here. Lots of good offers were made to him. He could have easily pulled a Schultz and gone to Edmonton. Give credit where credit is due. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
