That's ridiculous. Hockey is a sport where opposition matters as well as your teammates. In your diving board analogy the water/board isn't actively going against his flips.

I'm betting he scores about 25 goals this season and scores his first by game 4

1. McCann wasn't the same year as Kylington. Also, Bonino for Sutter hasn't shown what Sutter can do, but Bonino has a nice new Stanley cup ring that he was instrumental in. Not all of JB's moves have been gems

I like how for the whole season everyone talks about how almost no #1 d-man is drafted in the first round and now everyone is calling him a #1 right away.

Really good insight. These kind of facts have helped me with my fear of Demko splitting. Solid post, Jazz!

As a pessimist I would fear it would also mean he was choosing to go as an UFA the following summer. I don't have the trust some of y'all do.

I think WD said Wednesday will be the most likely the first game Tryampkin plays

And he fights like Gino

Wow screw me for asking a question, right?

Can someone explain to me why Canucks fans shouldn't be worried? Thatcher looks to be a very high quality goalie and should he continue in his college career, becomes available for every team in the NHL. He could sign with the team that drafted him, and be part of a rebuild or he could go somewhere that is in a winning phase. Is loyalty to the drafting club that strong? Should we be worried? I've followed him since we've drafted him and he seems like a total stud, and high character, but is that enough to keep him with the Nucks?

I really hope he does end up in Utica next year, he's so fun to watch and being there it would be easy to see him play.

He was the second star in that game too!

He's having an awesome rookie year and putting up good points. Like you said, the goals will come

Canucks signed Brisebois today!

It's been a rough few decades. But thank you! It was an unreal moment to see one of my teams win it all! Can't wait till Canucks take home Lord Stanley! Go Royals, Go Canucks Go!
