coastal.view Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 but wait to hear the outcry and complaints the jb bashing and everything ultra negative should leipsic not make the canuck team out of training camp this year (he is clearly one of the players on the bubble to make the team this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Dang, he looked quite promising, just didnt have the chance. Oh well, good luck. Certainly no complaints for acquiring Leipsic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 When Leipsic becomes a big part of our future we can thank Benning for getting him pretty much for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Torpedo any different from names like Avalanche, Lightning, and Hurricanes? Even names like Oilers, Flyers, Ducks, Penguins, etc. If you were first learning the names of the teams in the NHL, some of our names are far less fearsome sounding than Torpedo. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And won the Germans the bloody blitzkrieg It has nothing to do with the military vehicle tank... in the early 1900's swimming pools were referred to as tanks. In boxing when a fighter lost on purpose it was referred to as "taking a dive" or "taking a dive into the tank." I guess the first part was dropped over time and it's just "tank" now.

There are definitely some bad names in the NHL but I personally think Torpedo is stupid so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked really good with Boeser and I'd want to see more before sending him down. I'd be pretty surprised to see him cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Chances are Leipsic gets waived to start this year anyway so maybe a wash on the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
