  1. Great goal by Dahlen. Weird seeing a guy turn his body in anticipation for that pass. worked out well for him
  2. Stealth Renewal 99.5% Interesting title change for this thread lol.
  3. It just isn't fair to management to use those stat lines as an argument against the organization. They were left with next to nothing in the system and in the nhl line up. Aside from all the vets we had. The one qualm I have is letting Shawn Matthias and Brad Richardson walk to free agency. I wish Jim had of moved them either for younger nhl bodies or picks. I can see why he did it though to give the twins and old core 1 last kick at the can. Just disappointing we got nothing that year.
  4. The hitmans bodyguard. 8.5/10 Hilarious. Action packed. The story is ok but the actors really carry the show.
  5. Underworld - new one from 2012. Surprisingly not bad 6/10 but entertaining. Watched 1&2 eariler in the week.
  6. Audio link: https://www.sportsnet.ca/650/the-playbook/ryan-biech-talks-canucks-prospects-playoff-performances-around-world/
  7. Agree. I am excited for that day to arrive. playoff hockey is always so much fun. be nice to watch a team with a good coach again. Willie got schooled hard vs Calgary.
  8. Comparing Mitch Marner to Elias Pettersson is like comparing Yanick Weber to PK Subban. LOL
  9. Clip of Loui Eriksson after he was traded to Boston from Dallas. Shows him meeting Cam Neely, checking out the rink, getting bruins swag, and house shopping. If you haven't seen the behind the b's already it's a great clip to get a feel for his personality. (If you rewind like 5-7 minutes u can watch the discussions to trade Seguin among brass. Including our GM Jim Benning.)
  10. Sounds like he attended Utica's training camp. Probably a photo from that.
  11. How did I spell DiPetro so wrong lol. Did I get it right this time?
  12. More like: Dahlen- Pettersson - Boeser Goldobin - Horvat - Virtanen Gadjovich - Gaudette - Lind Jasek - Sutter - Motte Juolevi - 2018 pick Pouliot - Stecher Breezer - 2019 pick Demko DePietro :D I forgive your lack of oversight just kidding <3. Leipsic is missing from that lineup tho.
  13. So after we win the draft lottery. Does it go to 99.75%. then we just wait for his name to be announced? Then it's 100% ^^ curious on our summer timeline lol
  14. The North American game has really evolved more into a hybrid of standard north american hockey and the speed /skill of euro hockey. I think it makes the game better and allows for more excitement being able to see more youth, speed, and skill. You still need that big tough and rough hockey style for the post season but it's much more mild for sure. I see Dahlen as a more clutch version of Nik Ehlers myself. Huge comp to throw out there. No question. That I've heard Filip Forsberg as an actual style comparison as well.
  15. Meddling ownership. Threatening his job perhaps. Make playoffs at all costs aside from white and Chabot. Then bam. Dahlen to Vancouver for Burrows. I still believe if burrows was healthy in that game 7 vs Sid he could of gotten them the clutch goal they needed to push them into the cup final. That team and burrows had magic that run. Burrows is clutch. Glad we got an even young skilled clutch beast back. #allinfordahlen
  16. Its a different league now for sure. I'm curious if we may see more scoring in this new era. I think we can all agree seeing 5-4 or 7-5 games is far more entertaining then 2-1 or 3-2 wins. If we need to look at streamlining more Goalie gear I am all in. The goalies will hate their save percentage and GGA but it would be better long term I think. Seeing the Winnipeg / Minnesota game last night. I remembered just how much stuff doesn't get called. Gudbranson will be a huge add come the post season once we are good. I'm all on board the trade Tanev club if the value is there. If we can get 80 cents on the dollar I'll take it.
  17. Did I derail this topic? You guys are still talking about this. Lol. Sorry fellas. Ep40 looks to have similar movements as Leumiex . Very encouraging to see such a talent. Not many players like that. Malkin is to thick to be a direct comparable. Ep40 might just be a lighter version of 66. His fav player was Forsberg tho so I can imagine him doing his best to try and fill out like he did.
  18. I don't think we fully understand how good this kid is going to be. He is kind of over shadowed by the play of Elias Pettersson. The kid is bananas level good.
  19. That's fine. But let's stop saying grezkys is auto better because he's old. I don't like McDavid. But the old guy winning these comparisons all the time is frustrating. Brett Hull one hell of a sniper. Give him props.
  20. The goalies were garbage and aside from teams top lines most of them couldn't skate worth a damn. If u wanna call if different eras and different games then I don't want to hear about these players being told to be better then today's guys. Ya sports science and the game has improved 100% agree. But so has everything else. More goalie gear, better technique, and more experienced goalie coaches. Gretzky's speed was next level at the time. His skating is what made him so effective in that era. I would argue mcdavids speed which is miles ahead of even grekzys at the time is less effective then gretzkys was in his era. Defenders didn't know how to defend. Goalies couldn't save a puck for their life lol. Broduer and Roy were 2 of the best of all time. They were also using a butterfly hybrid style when almost everyone else was still standing up. They adapted well and goalies are better now.
  21. Ya the goalies were pretty terrible for a while there lol. His movements and body type are very comparable tho. He's landed similar shots. I'd say he's a touch faster but so is the league these days. Imo Connor McDavid back in grezkys time probably would out point him.
  22. Whoever runs their twitter is hilarious. This is going to be the most first game ever. Watch it be in the pre season. LoL
