  1. Goldobin's ceiling is Nylander-lite and he has shown no signs of coming close to that. Leivo is the kind of 40 point workhorse you want come playoff time.
  2. "It is what it is." - a lonely star

  3. Sellers market, yeesh. I don't see why Edler would be opposed to spending a couple months in a different jersey...
  4. I feel kike one of the few people who have supported Gaunce from the get go. Why do people feel to the need to expect point production out of this kid. He EXCELS at being a shutdown center with his defensive acumen. Put him on our fourth line with two veteran wingers. Sammy Pahlsson was an integral part of the Ducks Cup run and that man barely cracked 20 pts a couple times in his career.
  5. This guy is such a breath of fresh air on this team. An honest hardworking player with talent and vision. Give this man a contract.
  6. Speak of the devil! 

  7. Slowly forgetting that MDZ exists.

      It’ll be gone soon now with both Koreas calling a truce.

      :lol: how about now?

  8. Finally got a chance to see Dahlen perform today. He's ... disappointing to say the least. His game just does not translate to North American ice very well. Kid needs a strong offseason to make sure his development doesn't stall.
  9. The ice at this tournament has been embarrassing. Stamkos was right.

  10. Pettersson just wasn't noticeable. Hughes is noticeable on every shift, and it's an even split between good and bad. The kid has 3-4 poor giveaways a game due to poor decision making. He really needs to clean up that aspect of his game prior to making the jump. Some people are claiming we should see him in the NHL at the end of this year. I'm reluctant to say that it's a good idea at this point.
  11. I always thought it would be weird to have a doppleganger of yourself playing second fiddle to you in such a niche role while you see success and their career gets shelved. Hope Nilsson gets it together in Ottawa. Meanwhile, stocking up picks to create the ultimate trade up package.
  12. Hughes is such a special talent, but he definitely plays a selfish game. From slamming his stick on the ice demanding the puck to his over reliance on the rover style in the offensive zone, he's going to be a double edged sword in the NHL for sure.
  13. There's something off about Goldobin to me, even when he's playing well I don't really get the same vibes from him as I do from players like Baertschi or Sutter. He reminds me a lot of Vrbata in that sense, he might work hard on occasion but there's no heart behind his playstyle. He doesn't push himself to be better than he already is.
  14. It's actually depressing watching the Oiler's play as a neutral party. McDavid's career is going to be a modern day tragedy if he sticks it out with them.

      kind of reminds me of when Marcel Dionne was playing with the Kings.  Dionne was totally fabulous, and put up huge numbers.  The rest of the team was not so good.  Dionne might be the greatest player to never win a Cup.

      After all the luck at the lotto draft the Oilers have had (4 -first overall picks in less than 10 years,they can BITE MY BEHIND.

      Boo Hoo,for a team that sucks big time, and have had more glory days than they deserved.

  15. Honestly? Two years of consistent play. Cam Ward won the Conn Smythe once upon a time.
  16. He really exhibited some fantastic decision making skills in the neutral zone with his puck movement today. I kind of hope we move him to a contender so he gets a fair shot at the Cup in his prime.
  17. I'm questioning your ability to assess Sergachev's play here. After meandering through the Tampa Bay HF subforum it seems to be a general consensus that Sergachev has been extremely lacklustre on defense, so much so that fans are calling for him to be scratched. He has fantastic raw offensive tools but he is still prone to many questionable decisions with the puck like we saw on that goal tonight.
  18. I havent been this riled up over a Canucks game in some time. God bless Roussel. 

  19. You can be both, I don't think we should need anyone telling us that as Canucks fans. Hockey isn't a game that's policed well at all, if teams know they can take liberties without repercussions they will.
  20. Can any Utica fans comment on what they think of Trent Culls coaching decisions thus far? Pros and cons vs Travis Green?
  21. I feel like all the 12 year olds who used to be on CDC before moved on to HFboards. It's insufferable how insecure they are as Canucks fans, have to post a Pettersson thread every day to remind everyone else what we have. Being liberal with my block list has made Canucks and Leafs threads bearable on HF. Otherwise I'm spending more time sifting through whining teenagers than actual discussion content.
  22. Yeah I've been getting the same impression lately. Old boys club coming through.
  23. Whether he fully recovers or not, if I were Baertschi I would take a long look at calling it a career. At some point it's just not worth it.
