  1. I do not watch a lot of other teams as I just do not have the time. I was wondering if people have noticed a big drop in fighting like I have. This subject has been brought up by the usual suspects who need to complain in the JV thread. However, I have been noticing that when a scuffle starts the ref is there yelling that he will toss one. Linesman have been involved quicker than years past as well. Is anyone else noticing this around the NHL or is it just me in our games?
  2. I posted this earlier but I will post it again. Ravens vs Patriots The second and third goal crushed the Canucks. They were done right there. You could feel it. I agree a time out could have been called there but lose like this teaches. Better to lose like this at the start of the season rather than in the playoffs ala Ravens.
  3. Beagle has been a beast since he got here. People just do not understand D players.
  4. Ravens vs Patriots superbowl. Second and Third goals broke our young team's focus. Good to learn these at the start of the season.
  5. Look at the Greek island of Santorini. Ancient drawings match Homer's description. It was the capital city of an ancient race that is little know but ruled the Mediterranean Sea with advanced tech in their warships. The city sank into the sea killing the elite and government when the island proved to be a volcano which erupted at the peak of their civilization. On topic. Our team looks designed to do damage in the playoffs. I am really hoping / think we can get the points. I am very excited to see what this team can do when our players start clicking.
  6. He was also coming off Hand surgery. So the feel might not have been there at the start or his off season training had been effected.
  7. Hey buddy. I have t ask what are you looking for from him to be called invisible? He is not Nylander. He is not Ehlers. Granted. So, if you are looking for a scoring dynamo, you are correct, he is invisible. Remember this though, Jake gets benched when he misses his D assignment not when he misses a scoring opportunity. He was sent to the AHL oh so long ago to become consistent in his D coverage and he is now playing regular minutes in the NHL. What would that imply to you that management wants from him? CDC can want the moon but if management gives him a different task then well CDC gets to whine on CDC. This leads to the next part. Why does Jake have a spot on the roster? Jake is forechecking and chasing dump ins. He is winning board battles. He is playing good enough D that when the team ran out of gas the 3rd and 4th lines were played the most to stop the hurt and did it well. I do not know his TOI but I see him doing things that most do not notice, well? So, Jake being invisible is good because he is doing his assignments well.
  8. Having the number 1 PK in the league is not good enough for you? The league is not won by a team of Petterssons. You people are amazing but then what can you expect from a Hindustan Smyl thread.
  9. I thought they were coming on because they were the only ones that could switch momentum into our favor for a minute. The Petty line got bottled pretty badly in the third.
  10. I think you are going to want to hear this....
  11. Yeah. I thought Roussel Sutter Virt were a really good line last year. We will be that more fiesty. Going to be and exciting year.
  12. I see Tanev being healthy, barring a blocked shot, being that before the Canucks could not get out of their own end. With the Tanev / Hughes combo going for a big hit on Tanev will put players way behind the play due to Hughes skating. I the few games that have been played I have only seen (remember) one really big hit on Tanev which seems a lot less than years prior. Saying this I liked what Iceman said about Tram going to 7th D and working his way into the line up. I also see him coming in if it gets nasty in the playoff. But in reality Tram is on a good team and will likely be in the playoffs in Russia so....
  13. Not possible. He was ruined because he had to play that one NHL game last year. You lie man.
  14. On another note, our PK is first in the league with Sutter and Beagle. Sutter is getting most of the minutes according to what I heard during the game. Big reason for our wins not doubt.
  15. I have been noticing that Stecher has been playing a lot bigger this year. I think having Benn with him is allowing him to stand up for himself more. There have been a lot of trickle down effects so far this season.
  16. Except EDM is 4-0 and Calgary is 2-1-1 HAHA A very interesting start to the year
  17. At 15 meters (underwater) I can hold it for 45 seconds. Would that be long enough?
  18. Maybe. I think he looks OK with Sutter and he looked good with Gaud. Last year he had a couple games with Bo that looked good. Green said he had 20 good games last year. I am hoping to see 40-50 this year.
  19. Might just be mean but I saw no chemistry between Beagle and Virt. I may be wrong and it is early. We shall see.
