  1. Toews admitted that they found out about it in training camp the next year. What I don't understand is that was 11 years ago. How did the union not get involved. How has it taken that long to get to this point.
  2. So Sopel and LaLonde say this because they are out of the NHL now and don't have to face potential backlash. It is like nobody lived through the Graeme James mess (or however you sell that d-bags name).
  3. It really seemed that Toews spent more time about how that sexual assault affected him and his fond memories of that year. Like he was the victim. A guess it is no surprise when pampered athletes act self-centred.
  4. I think the Ramones complaint is fair but AC/DC has been the definition of stadium rock for 40 years. With the bells and cannons, they are built for being crowd pleasers. Heck they even told you at the beginning that they have the biggest balls of them all.
  5. Interesting. Two of the teams having good starts may also need to get rid of GM and head coach. I wonder if they get dismissed with cause and lose salaries.
  6. It should. I have no problems with the Seattle S.C. Banner. The 32 thing I think was cheesy and silly.
  7. Just finally finished watching. Pretty much a one game summary of the season. Early goal against, long periods of disinterested play, conceding the middle of the ice in all zones and Bo and Demko holding them in it.
  8. Need someone in front of net. I think moving Bo back to second unit makes more sense, JT can take face-off.
  9. Just a really bad team. Khiara, a decent 4th line depth player is on their second line. Toews has lost a step after COVID and is just hurting the team.
  10. As someone who has lots of patients I can confidently say the word your looking for is patience.
  11. It’s a mixed bag kind of thing. Very excited by all the changes over the summer and for the most part they have been working out. Not Benning’s fault that a lot of the depth he worked to build fell apart. At the same time, it is very frustrating to see this team that has had so many changes making the same mistakes. The same terrible PP breakout. Passive defence and PK. Tools look like mostly there but need some more time to smooth out the rough edges.
  12. I don’t like the colours of the Chrétien jersey but never really liked the Griz stuff. I like the idea. Frankly I would give the team name, logo and Jersey to some local native artists and say come up with something that works. Whether it sticks with orca theme or not. I am not married to a military related theme for the team name and wouldn’t be sad to see it go. Millionaires is a little too on point for Vancouver, though would be a great sense of ironic naming if done by the indigenous community.
  13. Current account 2014 but I had an older account that I am not sure what happened too. That one went back quite a bit further.
  14. Home stand and some practice time is just what this team needs. Hopefully Pettey starts to come around soon we need him. Demko looks great, both the additions from Arizona have been standouts. If we could get Brock and Pettey going this team will be flying. Hughes looks like he has taken a little step defensively and has been great offensively. JT Miller does a lot of great things but man the stupid passes make you pay for those great things. Lammiko needs to get settled in a bit more.
  15. Demko kept us in this one. 3-2-1 pretty good considering how poor we looked a lot of it.
  16. What does every coach and commentator say when having trouble scoring? Shots from everywhere, go to the net. We don’t do that at all. It is to the point that a PTO player gets first PP time because he is only one willing to go to net. It took a 5 on 3 to get one of our stars to go to the net and score an ugly goal last night.
  17. Got better as game went on. First was awful. Third period was the first road period they have played this trip and how they should be playing every period on the road. Still a long way to go. Nice to see Dickinson step up. If he could win face offs he would look a lot like Sutter but bigger. Good defensive game, can shoot the puck but handles it like a hand grenade and has no idea what to do with it on offence. The other difference being he makes it in the lineup. Do hope Podz draws back in for Seattle. That Chicago team is awful. Other than Kane and Debrinkat they looked terrible. If it wasn’t for Arizona I would say we just played the worst 3 teams in the league and came out 1-2 which is not good. I was hoping we would sign Khiara in off season. Would have looked good on 4th line but on Chicago he was second line right wing. Think about that Khiara as second line right wing. That is a bad team.
  18. Are there any other spellings of Burrows that the scouts should know about?
  19. Nice to see Burroughs step up. Has been playing well.
  20. Let’s go OEL-Hughes, Rathbone-Poolman for rest of game.
  21. Okay when Hughes, Rathbone and Horvat can’t handle the pressure of just Khiara, something is wrong. End of shift or not.
  22. For all the talk about intensity I see little of it.
