  1. I thought he was more serious then calm.
  2. I want to see him on the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
  3. Why do I feel like he is going to walk as a UFA after school? God I hate that loophole.
  4. I honestly can't believe the crap I see on CDC sometimes, it's really disappointing. What ever happened to being a fan of your team?
  5. Look at what Steven Stamkos did these playoffs, absolutely nothing. The playoffs are a different game. It comes down to who plays the heaviest and those 2 borderline girls will not hold up in 4 long playoff series. You seem to be fixated on the regular season. In today's age players like Nylander have become the complementary. You need a core that can battle for their own pucks. GMJB has a Canuck Blueprint in his mind, Big, Fast, hard hitting 2 way players that shift momentum in a playoff series. Yes, I get your point, you can pick these players up anywhere in the draft, I agree. Later on down the road you can pick up a finesse pure goal scorer via free agency or trade much easier than a PF that can score.
  6. If someone told me what my ceiling was at 18 I'd punch their lips off. Cuz how the F$&@ would you know!?
  7. This thread has brought out the worse in CDC.
  8. Another factor people don't think think about is how hard it is for an 18/19 year old kid to move far away from his family and live on his own like Horvat did. He even mentioned how lonely he was at times and how he had no real escape from hockey. I give him a lot of credit for that. He refused to move in with someone and decided it was time to be a man. Jake's home is here in Vancouver which would cross 1 more thing off the "stress out about" list during this leap into the big leagues.
  9. I confess that I was just trying to be cool.
  10. I agree, he isn't going to make us a Stanley contender next year. What exactly is the rush? Detroit this boy. And preserve his ELC.
  11. Haven't got into that yet, soon...
  12. This just brought a confession to mind. When my wife was nursing she use to spray milk in my face on purpose when we fornicated. It was weird but kinda fascinating, I even drank some, tasted like a less sweet whip cream. Then the wells dried and things got back to normal I'm normal now.
  13. They need Marcus Mariota.
  14. Jake is Raw, but our most physically gifted prospect. If we can develop him properly the sky is the limit. Jake is a momentum changer, which ranks as high as a puck moving Dman in organizational needs. I like the mix of players we have developing in our system IMO a guy like Jake would complement a guy like Sven B beautifully. Then throw a Pedan on the back end while those guys are on the ice and you have quite the mix.
  15. In comparison to Horvat, Jake could or would benefit from another year of Jr. It's not his physicality in question, it's more about him learning the game. I admit I haven't watched a lot of him but it seems that he forces his 1 dimensional forechecking style without really slowing down and looking around. If he could learn to slow down and see the ice a little better he would be so much more of a scoring threat. The same could be said about Taylor Hall. They both play too fast at times.
  16. Only way Miller is traded is if he is moved to San Jose. This won't happen for several reasons. 1. Pacific division, there are other options in the east for San Jose. 2. Personal relationship with Benning. It's obvious that Benning is deeply in love with Ryan Miller. 3. New baby, the Millers don't wanna move because moving with a baby sucks. 4. Statisticly he isn't any better than the other 5 goalies available on the trade table. I predict Markstrom will either be traded for a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick or he will bolt to Europe. We need to waive him to keep him and there is no way he clears waivers this year. Lack is the other option, but with miller aging and injuries creeping in I see Benning holding onto him.
  17. Like I was saying before, goalies aren't that Marketable period. Any goalie that is, isn't for sale. We are absolutely stuck with Miller for the duration of his contract.
  18. The goalie market seems to be saturated every year now. With "emerging" starters. I honestly can't remember the last time goalies were in high demand. I think we are in grave danger of losing both our Utica goalies to Europe.
  19. Hell ya, he is better than all those losers he went to school with. I'd be the same way, probably worse, wouldn't even shower, because it's too considerate. I'd spit on people.
  20. I would agree that if this was the only time the Patriots were linked to any kind of cheating it would be a non issue. But it's not and that pisses me off. Imagine what they don't get caught for. It's like my browser history
  21. You know what probably means right? I love that no matter how much you Brady Babies cry, his legacy has this attached to it.
  22. After 1 year + of being sober I fell off the wagon, I expect to be banned by the strike of midnight.
