  1. I guess if Rodin gets put on waivers, he would likely get picked up. Too bad the same couldn't be said for Eriksson
  2. Maybe Rodin starts in Utica too?
  3. O-line are usually Canadian boys. D-line (especially the rush ends) are usually American boys. All CFL teams have troubles protecting their QBs because of that ratio. I love that our boys get a chance to play, but there is a definite difference in talent/experience levels.
  4. Was there a Canadian player who showed better than Gadjovic? I don't think there was. The kid is really good. He's a second round steal by JB, and will bring much needed toughness to the Canuck's top nine for years to come. Plus, he's likely to score 20+/ season.
  5. Back to Dallas maybe, for the rights to A certain Russian?
  6. I agree about our prospects. We have several decent looking ones, but need a couple elite guys - especially a Dman. I see the current youth only becoming a mediocre team, when matured.
  7. I kind of don't want Loui to get going until the 2018/2019 season. This year's draft is just too good at the top for him to help us get 14 to 20 place.
  8. Are you saying it's going to be like last season, where (out of camp/preseason) Stecher was our best Dman, but got cut?
  9. Bure was BY FAR the fastest person on skates at that time, who handled the puck perfectly at top speed. He was super strong, had a great shot, tough as they come, and determined to be the best. If Palmu is determined like Pavel, that's great, but there was, and only ever will be, one Pavel Bure. He was a very special, and unique player.
  10. Love this player. He is going to be a top six player for us, who plays a mean game, while scoring 20+
  11. He's not going to shock me. He's 30 pounds lighter, and finally (likely the first time for him) in proper shape. He's going to look super fast!
  12. Yup. The guy is a beast, and looks great for our bottom six. We can soon say, "bye...bye" to Dorset.
  13. Sold the east coast get-a-way.  Loved swimming in the .Atlantic.  Alas, my scooter...did not:(

      Which province, Alf?

    2. Bo fan

      Bo fan

      aww - bet you'll miss it.  Loved the east coast when I was back there

  14. More likely a team change. I really like Gaunce, but don't see him making our roster:(
  15. Just like Trevor. There is a point in the Lind highlite reel (4:54) where he skates through the neutral zone, and splits the D. That's got Trevor written all over it. Tall, lanky, fast, aggressive, and an excellent shot. I think we sometimes forget .Trevor was once youthful too:
  16. Kelowna. and when he's in town playing the Giants.
  17. You think Bo will get more than M. Zabanejad?
  18. Lind looks a lot like a young Trevor Linden out there. He's got the same frame, scores a lot of great goals, plays tough, and skates similar. Really like this pick:)
  19. Monahan plays with Goudreau. I think Bo should come in like Zabinijad - 5-5.5/ season.
  20. Fox will be 24 in October. He doesn't skate well enough for the .NHL. Bo was young. Cole Lind is a really good skater - more like Trevor Linden than Dane Fox.
  21. I heard in Finland their rinks for the pros is a hybrid.
  22. Yup, the talkers are a definite sour spot on my furry behind. Growing up on a farm means not much talkin', and a whole lot a doin' Since I'm about doin', I'm heading out on my scooter and gonna run me over some sidewalk hogging talkers. Yippee!!!
