  1. DelZotto played over 27 minutes against Winnipeg.
  2. Jake is WAY more effective offensively from the left side.
  3. He's always been quick, and was a quick player under both AV and even Torts. WD kept a harness on his D, making them look like pylons standing in front of our net.
  4. It’s okay, and kind of fashionable now for a man to be bald. Good on you to be proud of it.
  5. I see a lot of TL in Lind's game too.
  6. And in his two games his save % is .948. That's friggin' awesome!!!!!
  7. Trade Vanek to the Habs.
  8. "How 'bout them Cowboys?" God, I hate them. They are the Leafs of the NFL, and it's too much fun watching them lose, especially at home, and in the last seconds - like today.
  9. Maybe that’s not Newton’s experience though? Maybe he was truly impressed with the lady reporter, and wanted to point out that he was by complimenting her knowledge? Maybe she’s been around asking questions for a while, and they’re getting more football oriented, and less about Cam’s personal life?
  10. Do you think it was either SHL or ECHL? I remember Burr came from the ECHL and he was (as we all know) a heck of a good player. Maybe the ECHL would be better for development?
  11. Agreed. He's a puck mover, so he needs good players to move the puck to. I did hear Green say that Olli needs to get fitter and stronger. Basically, the kid needs to physically mature, which might take a couple years.
  12. JV, now in shape and at a proper weight, is showing his true NHL abilities, including a good hockey Q. The kid is behind (through his own fault) some of his peers in development and maturity in his person and his performance, but I know he will pass many of them. JV will become a difference maker in games in a variety of ways.
  13. Cam Newton is extremely intelligent. His comments directed at this female reporter were likely planned in advance, and he only waiting for opportunity. Why he said what he did is curious though.
  14. I'm thinking in three years there will be no spot open for Tryamkin. We will have more younger guys filling roles, and where will Tryamkin play? He wants minutes, and will he be good enough to get them? Loved the guy last season, but the NHL might just pass him by.
  15. I don't believe any true Canuck's fan wants Jake, or any of our picks to fail, just to prove a point. We are finally seeing Jake at weight and fit. This is the player he is, and it's a good one.
  16. Agreed. Now we have a player trending towards being a finisher. God! He might even become a Bossy, or OV, or (that newest bum who only finishes) Laine. Maybe JB should just trade Virtanen now, before Jake only scores 40 goals a season, but never does any of the real work?
  17. How lng did it take you to type this? Burrows is one of those ex Canucks who will always be a Canuck to this fan base. I wonder if Flames fans see Iggy as always a Flame?
  18. I don't care where we picked him. If he becomes the player expected, that's a very important piece on a winning team. There are plenty of Dman taken in the second round, who if redrafted, would be top five picks: PK, Keith (the piece of s**t) S Weber and many others.
  19. Love K D, especially that "fake" cheese.
  20. We traded for Vey, and Calgary wasn't exactly a world beater at the time, but Vey had excellent AHL numbers - much like Goldy. If Vey was worth a second, I see Goldy as worth the same?
  21. I think when we got Vey and Bear they were coming up to waivers. Next year that will be Goldy. If he's not making our team by then, maybe we should move him?
  22. I used to be a big fan and watch a lot of NFL games. The behavior of too many of the players (maybe because of social media we are more aware?) is turning me off the league. I didn't watch the game last night; not surprised about the hit. Saw a nasty hit on Beckham earlier. It does appear too many Players are really thugs, and have bad attitudes towards the world. Just my views, but really does seem there are deep issues of hatred towards others in a lot of the players.
  23. If Godly is not working out for us, I wonder what his trade value would be? Could he get us a second, like we paid for Vey and Baer? They were kind of similarly stalled prospects, weren't they?
  24. The report on Bear was he's not feeling well: light headed and feeling in a fog. I wonder if the hit he took from Hamilton could have given Bear a mild concussion? Only speculation, of course, but those symptoms worry me - considering Bear's history.
  25. Agreed. Jake was thinking the game very well last night, and all preseason really. It's amazing how much smarter Jake is as a player now he's at a proper weight, fit, and a couple years more mature.
