  1. Good Sid, we should all read that, for personal growth if nothing else. Cheers.
  2. Well, good on you. The only release I will buy is RDR2. Cannot wait for that game next fall. Anyway, we're humans, some evolved, some notsomuch. We're born to run! live! breathe! adore the splendor of nature, and fight for it. Why be a shut-in and let the most wonderful place to live in the world pass you by? I guess a lot of dudes here are city guys, why not go elsewhere with wide open spaces? a $400 canoe will get you places a ps4 contoller wont.
  3. Gaudette wasted no time asserting his indomitable will on the Northeastern program. In one of his first practices at Matthews Arena, the freshman ushered in a new era of Husky intensity. They were running a routine drill, when Gaudette blasted senior captain and scoring star Kevin Roy. The skating halted, and the ancient arena became silent. "He finished a check on Roy, which upset Kevin and some of the older players," said NU sports performance guru Dan Boothby. "They felt Adam was trying to be a hero. I think everyone quickly realized after that practice, that was not the case. Adam only knows one speed — win!" Thanks for the excerpt. This is my favorite paragraph. Gaud wasn't there to show up, he was there to produce and compete. Greens gonna love him.
  4. Jeremy Roenick is....

     

     

     

     

     

    Not my kind of guy.

      He’s always been a self centred idiot.  Wasn’t he one of the American players who trashed their rooms after losing the Gold medal game to us in 2002?

      He's a cheerleader for.... RATINGS!

       

      He literally just screamed it on National TV. 

       

      Not HOF worthy.

      HE IS THE UGLY AMERICAN!

      CRIED LIKE A LITTLE ''B" AND WAS TAKING IT OUT ON USA PLAYERS WHEN WE BEAT THEM.

      WORLD CUP WAS EPIC.

      THATS TEAM CANADA GOLD ALL THE WAY.

  5. I believe PLD is getting #1 PP, I also heard they played together but that doesn't make sense. I think Tryamkin just rocked someone and dished a beauty, but that's my imagination. Love the big guy.
  6. Kinda hard to ignore that Brock seems a little nervous about his back? This interview seems to be taking it a little too lightly. It really can be difficult to read Brock, his delivery is so chill. EDIT: Ah it's probably gonna be ok, he's talking about next season and leadership.
  7. Nice segue Alf. Yes, it opens up Gaudette to be C of a 3rd line, be interesting to see how this all shapes up. Who do you think looks good w/ Gaud on the third?
  8. We should move this to another thread, but I'd say 6m in a checking role doesn't look good optically. Gotta squeeze some juice out of that lemon if we can.
  9. I'm not entirely sure, I like what I've seen. More importantly, Green seems to really like deploying him in such a role. Hey, we need cheap defensive minded forwards too! I'm a huge Gaunce guy so I could be letting the love blind me. Sorry I've gotten off topic. Was nice to see Gaud at Fenway, quite the honor and exposure for him.
  10. Gaunce Sutter Motte is an ideal 4th line, IMO. Yes, I think we could see that line matching up at least some of the time against top lines. How far off am I? (Sorry for thread drift)
  11. I'll respect that you're knowledgeable and take the good with the bad.
  12. Oh I'm a Juolevi supporter, and a fan of the pick. I was talking about you and your brash, arrogant delivery.
  13. Well played. Sometimes knowitalls don't actually know it all. Zepp seems to be glued to his computer so I wouldn't even really worry about his fantastical opinions.
  14. Did he give an interview? He looked really good on the Canuck fanmail segment.
  15. Borgstrom and Donato with NHL goals now. Good inspiration for Gaudette this offseason. Safe to say he won't be staring at his Hobey Baker award all summer!! 

  16. At least is right. Sign Kane Sedin x2 for 14 mil and I'm happy. Kanes mental issues may cool, being 25+ and coming into a Sedin culture. I don't see a huge risk. Anyway, back to Gaudette. Can't wait to see the final few games and comparing Borgstom Donato and @Hockey_Gaud
  17. Hard for me to like the new management. They'll have the Jays toiling in mediocrity for another 20 years. Did the money dry up that much?
  18. Interesting tidbit there Hairy Kneel.
  19. Full recovery though, so that means the shoulder wil be rebuilt and good to go. Nothing stopping him from keeping cardio up. It's relatively minor.
  20. Ya? One more run in UTI for Thatcher? I dunno... I think we see Demko in Van this year. Hoping I guess. It'd be nice for the fans to see him up for 4-7 games. Would screw Utica and that aspect of culture building though
  21. I'm surprised that people are surprised that BG is awesome.

      Green may have cut the leash, but he's a player, always has been. Not surprised here. Been saying it.

    2. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      Really the only thing holding him back is that his hands can't quite keep up with his mind most of the time. Gaunce thinks the game very well, just needs to improve his finesse with the puck to become a more consistent scoring threat.

       

      Pretty much as consistent as a 23-year old can be defensively, though. Probably the thing that's going to keep him in the league.
