  1. That's funny that Donnie and Dhali were trying to tell us we made a mistake with Podkolzin. That's only their opinion. This kid is showing signs already in the 2nd best league in the world that he is going to be a beast. I like CC, but I'd choose VP every day. Edit: and that's before he even turned 20.
  2. Yeah, Trottier and Bossy were lethal, and were the leaders of that dynasty. Though, they had such a strong team all-around.
  3. Steamer's a great nickname. It plays off of his first name, and refers to both Stanley the Steamer locomotive, and the Stanley Steamer car in 1906, which had a lot power and torque, and was capable of 127 mph. Smyl was only 5'8, 185 lbs, but was fearless.
  4. Other GMs may be calling about Podkolzin but I sure wouldn't trade him at all. This kid is going to be a wrecking ball.
  5. Fair enough, but JB and company chose Podz in the first, then the Hog in the 2nd, which you could argue is the equivalent of another 1st.
  6. Exactly. And if the 1st unit is on the ice for 1:30 of a penalty, start the 2nd unit on the next penalty to keep everyone happy, and fresh.
  7. Yeah, you're a funny guy, I get it pardner. Pushing the needle and thinking out of the box can work sometimes, but you actually have to have brains to even possibly make it work. Talk to Chiarelli or Milbury.
  8. Seinfeld is fictional. Doesn't mean because George improved his life by going against the grain that you base choices off of that concept. There are risks, and there are calculated possibilities. George fluked out.
  9. Sunken Teeth? No flippin' way. Great player/dirtbag in his prime, but he's 37 or 38, huge pass. Plus, his history against the Canucks doesn't cut it. Go to Seattle, Edmonton or Calgary.
  10. Yeah, and I drove from Toronto to Santa Monica January 2018 and there was a massive cold spell, even in Texas. It was minus 6 in Austin. I couldn't get a squeegee to clean my windshield until I got to Tucson AR. No bull. It can get super cold in Texas.
  11. Yeah, and their trolling Canucks board. Go cry somewhere else. Not you.
  12. It's still too early say he doesn't fit. Let's see how he is next year. This year, our team, was up and down, including the players.
  13. Not saying Kesler didn't have his moments, especially during the Nashville series, but I believe that Podkolzin is going to surpass anything RK ever accomplished.
  14. I agree with most of what you said, but comparing Podzolzin to Kesler isn't even close. IMO, I think this kid is going leave Kesler in his dust.
  15. Not sure how @HighOnHockey is laughing at my idea that they don't belong in the same conversation. But if you believe WN is at the same level as CG, lay off the dope.
  16. IMO, Quinn isn't going to get 12-14% of the team cap this new deal. He's still young, dynamic, and is not stupid. He will learn, adjust and become an even more explosive player. I'd keep Hughes, but if there's an opportunity to get Dobson, yeah, without trading Hughes.
  17. Nylander and Giroux in the same sentence is just wrong. Edit: @Marv-the-wet-bandit
  18. I agree with the recovery time-line, just like Edler's back injury. There's also a video where Juolevi, when playing with Utica, got caught at the oppositions blue line, raced back and checked the forward at Utica's blue line. Once he gets healthy, this guy skates like a thoroughbred.
