  1. I would rather see if we can pry the 1st overall away from Buffalo and take Reinhart.

    6th overall

    Shinkaruk

    Schroeder

    For

    1st overall

    Reinhart

    Horvat

    Gaunce

    You leave Shinkaruk out of your trades! He's gonna be a star!

  2. They are DONE for the season ! Will be bloody surprised if they even make the p/offs, which they don't deserve to. They have all turned into journeyman players skating around like headless chicken ! I think they all want to be traded out of Vancouver.

    3/10 on the trolling attempt. Mainly just for the use of comic sans.

  3. So...Horvat has turned into Hodgson somehow?

    Aside from a similar skating style and slick passing they are quite a bit different really.

    Horvat's extra 15 Lbs. should help him make a quick transition to the NHL and help him stay on the ice and not get banged up as easy as Hodgy.

    Hodgson is not a bad player. As long as he want's to stay, we're good.

  4. Basically, if any player tries to gain an unfair advantage in the face-off circle (not necessarily the guy taking the face-off) then your face-off taker gets tossed out.

    Here's the official explanation from the NHL...

    In theory, a defenseman could take his place, but defensemen don't normally practice taking face-offs, so they aren't very good at it.

    Found out tonight that D-men occasionally DO take faceoffs. Jay Bowmeester was 1 for 2 on faceoff attempts. I believe it most often happens when the center gets thrown out of a faceoff when the team has 3 skaters in a 5 on 3 or 4 on 3 situation. Just an update!

  5. For anyone saying that we will have a hard time replacing his 0 goals, you gotta remember who we're talking about. This is the guy that slayed the dragon, Mr. Clutch himself. While he has had trouble actually putting one in the net (Maybe trouble is too soft a term) but the guy BRINGS it. He is out there wearing down the other team and that kind of enthusiasm has to rub off on the rest of the team. Gonna miss him for the time he's gone, hope he makes a speedy recovery!
