  1. ??? Is that ok with Tryamkin for the coach to be saying that?
  2. Darnell Nurse is only getting $3.2M/ for 2 years. There seems an imbalance imo.
  3. How is he getting anything near that after one season when as I showed he was probably our 4th 5th best defender. Some people need a reality check.
  4. Can't go wrong with a bit of Robbie Robertson...........or the Band.
  5. Well he helped Think put up points did he not? I don't think Shink was the same player when Gaunce was not on his line. One thing Gaunce is NOT short of imo is hockey IQ. That is why I think he needs more offensive line mates. Not sure that would be EP either though but you never know eg Gaunce is pretty fast and can be physical enough to take the heat off EP. These goals make me think Gaunce has what it takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-zrgpsODqw
  6. Come back with that after Lind has played at least a season in the NHL.
  7. To be fair in season 2016-17 Gaunce played 57 games and was the top forward for hits and 5th o/a. He was also 24th in giveaways (6) of all players who played more than 20 games. Last season he carried an injury for quite some time.
  8. Well if we are looking for snarl and physicality, Leipsic is not as good as Gaunce imo. We need to be fair to Gaunce and as Stormriders says compare him fairly ie what is his role, who are his line mates, what are his minutes etc? I really worry about waiving Gaunce before he has had say, a dozen games, in an offensive role with more skilled faster line mates.
  9. Alf please, he does not in anyones understanding of "elite" have elite skill. We have never had a D with elite skill in recent years and we certainly didn't have one when Try played here
  10. Don't say I'm not good to you guys. My brother sent this link to me and I just had to share it as it is so special. Canada (and the US) have a strong link to Scottish and Irish music but this one must be the ultimate combination.
  11. All goalies deserve and get breaks of the type he had. Do you watch the great goalies?
  12. For all those who like me love the sound of the Celtic voice. (especially the female voice) This is exceptional, another one I found on the list of best Scottish Albums of the Year.
  13. And if my Auntie had a third leg she would be my uncle. For goodness sake you sound like Murray. If, if if if if - there are no ifs in the real world bud.
  14. Agreed, I thought he was one of the best Ds on the ice. What struck me most was just how confident and imposing he has become since last season. There is a lot to be said for Utica/AHL development. Sautner too when he came up, surprised me just how much he fitted in and didn't look out of place. In fact I thought he was better than Pouliot Hutton and MDZ.
  15. I'll be happy if he is reckoned to be one of the best after a few seasons in the League. After all I'm no scout and so my opinion at this stage and the fact I have not watched many of the BEST Swedish players in history, means diddly in the real world. I know one thing though he will have to be some player to match the Sedins, Forsberg, both Naslunds, Nilsson, Alfredsson and many more.
  16. This album - Cocoa Sugar - has apparently just been awarded Best Scottish Album of the year. I love the fashion style of these guys too. I have all their albums and imo they never let you down - excellent. What do you guys think. You can hear echos of "Only God Knows" in this one which I posted a few months back. If you don't know this group, look into them, their style is hard to pin down but they kick it every time.
  17. Is this game speeded up? The guys seem to cover the ice at a hell of a rate.
  18. He might have fared better in the KHL.
  19. I always thought there was something missing between the ears with that guy. He never seemed quite "present" Palmu strikes me as "driven"
  20. I can hardly wait for JR to come up to Vancouver. I said from the start that he looks a bit special.
  21. I think Beagle may surprise many here. He will have the same effect as DD, not maybe as a fighter but as a leader and catalyst. He didn't get his rep sitting on his ass and watching.
  22. Hard to deny Utica the Canuck/Comets franchise when you watch this video.
  23. These are one of my favourite all time bands - even though they had only one epic album and one album that must be in the top 3 ever, they lit up the music scene and continue to do so imo. How many bands have produced such a great backwards song as Don't Stop? The backtrack is Waterfall backwards with new lyrics. Original:
  24. I didn't think he was ever underrated to be honest. Most on here saw big things for Lockwood (including me) until his latest unfortunate injury.
