  1. Burroughs and Poolman had great chemistry last year.
  2. OEL - Hughes Borroughs - Myers Rathbone - Schenn Dermot No need for Dekeyser.
  3. If it like Slovenian (They are both Slavic), then nouns change depending on what is being said such as location, negative, place etc.... In Slovenian, nouns change 18 times. It is something called Sklons. So, Kuzmenko is his name. Kuzmenka is his name in a different Sklon.
  4. You quoted the wrong guy but fair enough. I disagree, somewhat. As there were games nobody showed up on the Canucks except Demko.
  5. Sorry to double quote you but I remembered this video. Agree or disagree as you wish.
  6. Fair but increasing that much after a coaching change was not all on Demko. Sorry did not happen.
  7. Poolman and Buroughs were an excellent defensive pair until injuries separated them. Buroughs is gonna surprise.
  8. That is because management actually referred to it as to usual media saying a source who cannot be identified said
  9. Speculating based on hate for Benning. When Linden left, things started to go towards a rebuild / retool. When Linden was here, the idea was to make a push for the playoffs for the Sedins. We even got Loui to help them produce more because of their past chemistry.
  10. When does this start? Will there be vids to watch in Europe?
  11. Why not just wait and see. We might have some surprises with Boroughs, Juulsen etc.. Also, under BB we were 8th in the league for GAA so while it needs some work we are not as bad as some say
  12. Does anyone know if there is someone I should be watching out for on TPS Turku? I will be going to one of their games soon.

      Do you know who they are playing? Because if you can, you should try and watch TPS play the Pelicans. The Pelicans have Canucks prospects Lukas Jasek and Viktor Persson on their team.

      Ljubljana has Carl Neil on the team. The former Canucks draft pick. 

  13. Funny indeed. I forgot he shot right. So, I checked Poolman and he also shoots right. Very interesting
  14. Boroughs! Calm, defensive dman that plays with grit. Enough grit that opposing players often tried to jump him. He also played really well with Poolman. If he were to play with Myers, I think it could really work. Myers can wander a bit more. Myers act as a slight determent to players wanting to jump Boroughs. OEL - Hughes Boroughs - Myers Rathbone / Dermott - Schenn
  15. Some interesting things is that Dermott mentioned that he has been working at playing RHD and that this has been encouraged by management. So, who could he be paired with? I do not know enough about him. However, I feel it is interesting that Steve Dangle talks about Dermott has been talking about playing RHD for a while but hasn't. Then, there is Boroughs. He was physical and when him and Poolman were paired, they seemed pretty solid. Lack of scoring for sure but they also kept the opposing teams from scoring. So, how could we use him? Last year, I believe that OEL was asked to cover the D side of the ice more with Myers to do the heavy lifting D work which led to the GAA that THG was mentioning in the above video. We also saw when Hughes went down, OEL really stepped up and got some goals. I think this year BB has to use him more in the O zone and not rely simply on QH which would include being more balanced on the PP. Again, I think Hughes does not have a season like he did without OEL. I also think Hughes will progress and get better because of OEL. Ideas for potential pairings for thoughts and giggles (Assuming Poolman is LTIR); Last Seasons pairings OEL - Hughes - Like this idea Boroughs - Myers - I like this idea Rathbone - Dermott - think this is idea Juulsen - Schenn / Myers OEL - Dermott Dermott - Myers Boroughs - Hughes Hughes - Dermott I dunno add your own idea.
  16. If you do not notice the same thing as I do and think that Vancouver is good, I am happy for you. Keep quoting them. I said at the end to watch for it this year. There have been many things that they have said that players and management have later refuted. They actually elude to it all the time. On one of the Dhawli and Donnie shows someone complained that Vancouver media makes up so much and both Donnie and Dhawli laughed and thought it was a funny to be called out. They never even tried to defend themselves.
  17. A. I would like to see that Kuzmenko can make it in the NHL before I gift him a spot. B. Poolman got injured last year and has been having a hard time coming back from it. Last I heard he is heading to LTIR this year. We might need LTIR space this year.
  18. Have you not seen people post speculations from Drance here on the board and then a day or so later Dhawli says a day or so later I heard that there is a... It happens all the time when nobody else is talking about this, and of course it is all complete garbage. I cannot remember any instances, just that I notice it. Watch for it this season.
  19. I fotgot about Sekeres to be honest. However both the guys I mentioned have become garbage to the point that they use each other as a source.
