  1. Seems like everyone has come to camp with the mindset we've wanted them to have for a while now - confident, disciplined, accountable, with a lot of unfinished business to take care of from last year. It's great to hear guys talking about being more defensively responsible. Also ... It looks like we finally have guys with high hockey IQ to compliment the higher IQ of Petey and Hughes. We've need guys that see the ice and anticipate on a higher level. This could be a really special year.
  2. Man, so excited. He's going to leave a lot of the competition looking like ...
  3. Agree. That first interview was different than previous seasons. His maturity and focus shows. Was worried that he wouldn't be dialed in early. Looks like he has a lot to prove after last year's bad start. Actually, everyone seems much more focused and dialed in. Even Boeser talking about 30 goals. This is the focus and confidence we've needed.
  4. Agree. Haven't been this excited for training camp in a while.
  5. Just the sound of that line has me excited. Our 3 on 3 game has more weaponry.
  6. Excellent attitude and mindset. A great addition! He seems genuinely excited to be a Canuck. Can't wait to see him fit into the bottom six.
  7. The way I see it, Boeser's contract sets a baseline/minimum for Horvat at $6.6. If an underachieving Boeser can get $6.6 per, surely a performing Horvat deserves at least that amount. Petterson was given $7.3 and Bo's numbers were similar last season. So it only makes sense to give Horvat $7 per and call it a day. Ideally $7 x 5 ... but $7 x 6 takes him to 33. Have to look at how many 32/33+ players we'll have by then.
  8. This season marks the beginning of better development and a ton more hope in terms of quality prospects.
  9. Abby Nucks are going to really fun to watch this year. Feel something special happening
  10. This organization feels so much more professional with the new regime.
  11. With Klim especially, it feels like we're finally developing the right way.
  12. Glad someone mentioned this. Was thinking the same thing the other day. Really great hire! Really impressed. This experience in Abby is only going to make him a better coach. So glad he's in our organization.
  13. Saw Peter Hook tonight at the Commodore. When it comes to Horvat, I have True Faith he'll get an extension otherwise we may see a bizarre contract triangle between Horvat, Miller and JR. And ... as a potential result ... Love ... Love will tear us apart ... Again!
  14. I'm more bothered (still) by John Shannon sticking up for Kypreos the following week. Rather than distance himself from Kypreos's foolish comments, which to me were obviously either made up, completely oblivious, or meant to be sensational, Shannon actually tried to defend him. Lost some respect for him on that day. Especially since he presents to have a relatively closer relationship with JR.
  15. Good post! Taking Boeser's contract in consideration on one end and then Miller's deal on the other, Bo should come in at $7m per ... he could even make a case for a bit more but $7m seems fair. Don't think anything under $7m is fair market.
