  1. I don't disagree. I just think Makar setting up Mackinnon and Rantanen all season long has a higher chance of continuing his early success than Olofsson. Olofsson seems to be a trick pony. If ends up being a ppg defenseman rookie vs a 30-35 pp goal scoring rookie, I pick the defenseman. I'm actually happy to see Buffalo doing some good this year though. They've been in the dumps for too long imo.
  2. Both Olofsson and Makar are pointing up good numbers from the powerplay. If they keep getting those prime minutes, I don't think Hughes has a chance for the Calder. Makar is actually my early favourite.
  3. I liken Boucher to Kyle Wellwood. They have amazing skills with the puck which they can/could utilize when they aren’t being heavily pressured, but they ultimately lack the consistent drive, conditioning and work ethic to find that space for themselves and strive at the NHL level.
  4. Both Goldy and Sven were at practice. The lineup hasn't been announced yet I don't think, but Goldy was practicing with Jasek and MacEwen.
  5. I was starting to think this as well! He’s been promoting certain types of vintage gloves for like all the players, even ex players I believe. Haha
  6. Looks like Goldy and Baer will be on the roster this weekend. Per: https://www.uticaod.com/sports/20191009/baertschi-going-to-make-most-of-time-with-comets Goldy seems to be on a line with Jasek at center and MacEwen. Anyone know who’s playing with Sven?
  7. You are changing your expectations of Podz?
  8. I’ve said the same thing about the UFC before as well. I liked it when it was just starting out when it was discipline versus discipline. Now, it’s just the same $&!#, different day. Almost on the level of watching golf for me now. As per the OPs comments on rivalries, you don’t really get too many strong rivalries when you’ve been out of the playoffs this much. Wait until we are back in the post-season and Seattle arrives on the scene. I really hope they pick up a bunch of guys we already hate.
  9. I was wondering this myself. Made me think they are all sour grapes now. Surely Linden would have made time for an event like this. So either he wasn’t asked to be involved, which I think is highly unlikely, or he refused the offer. From Canucks history, it seems like it always takes Linden a few years to want to involved with the team again after being removed from his position.
  10. Yeah, that’s what I was mostly referring to - notice how I didn’t say it was a boomer of a shot, and “if he could continue to put more power” into it... It doesn’t need to be a 100 mph slapper if it is perfectly placed and deceptive from screens. I do think he’s the type of kid to have the work ethic and reinvent his shot like Kesler did that one summer though.
  11. So this kid might actually be able to shoot!!! We saw that he had a knack for opening the lanes and getting it through to the net. If he can continue to improve his shot power, man oh man is this kid going to be good for us!
  12. 4 point night for Miller... you ready to proclaim yourself yet? Hahaha
  13. There. I gave you a cup. Now quit yer belly aching! Whether you believe it or not, having a solid franchise for 50 years is an achievement regardless if we have won the ultimate prize yet or not. Sports is more about fun and entertainment, than just winning and losing. Learn to celebrate the small things in life a bit more!
  14. They were still making their transition down there during game 1. The next game isn't until the 12th.
  15. This makes the most sense. Just wouldn’t seem right to have C on a Horvat Jersey from the Sedin era.
  16. I look forward to the day that you openly proclaim yourself an idiot.
  17. JT Miller is definitely a top 6 quality player on LW. The other guys will basically be filler until Hogz and Podz make the team. Ideally, I see this in 2 years time: Hogz - EP - Podz Miller - Horvat - Boeser
  18. Not only has San Jose gone 0-3, they have also gone 0-14 on the power play and have allowed 3 short handed goals against. They got some real struggles over there. I expect Petey and crew to pick it up and have a good home opener. EP doesn’t like to be kept off the score board for long.
  19. Creativity in offensive zone is one thing, zone entries is another. I want him on PP1 just so that we don’t have to see that stupid drop pass anymore. Just give the puck to Hughes and he will get it in the zone.
  20. Nah, we struggled for sure. Transitions were bad, passing was bad, plays were telegraphed. Our PP went 0 for 10. It was a struggle. Myers has showed well, and like what other people have been saying, it’s nice to see a pmd on the back end again! Bonus that he’s 6’8” and can toss dirt bags like Gio across the ice like that! Haha Can’t wait until we get the other big guy back there as well!
  21. Little did everyone know, the real reason that Loui Eriksson has been in the press box is to work on his acceptance speech!
  22. What appears to be happening is that his one giveaway seems to have triggered a fan who has been obsessing over him for years, regardless of all the positive aspects he brought to the game. You aren't "calling it as you see it". You are ranting on him based on an obsession you've had for years apparently - "My history with Myers". Sounds like a statement a sociopath would say honestly. Perhaps its time to step away from the keyboard?
  23. Of all the players that deserve to be ragged on from the last game, Myers is not one of them.
  24. I don't know whether the ice was truly bad out there, but the puck seemed to be bouncing over our sticks all night. Still haven't been coached into a group yet. Transitions are lacking, passing off the mark and plays seem to be telegraphed all night.
