  1. Isn't there some chance that Philly takes Middlestadt at 2?
  2. Just read in another thread that JB corrected his earlier statement about Markstrom being our starter. Looks like you're right, and there is no rebuild to come:(
  3. Butts NOT in seats. Drop in revenue. An old stale core of players the fans don't want to watch anymore. Those kinds of things. Oh, and finishing 28 and 29, while trying to compete for a playoff spot.
  4. Do you get the impression that JB and the Canuck's management (owners too) are being forced into a rebuild, not of their choice? No big name UFA's are coming here, like Errikson last summer. Miller won't come back. JB is likely to get an offer on Tanev he just can't refuse. Younger players are what the fans want to pay money to see. I'm sure there must be more too, but the idea that the rebuild is of our management's choice is questionable.
  5. God, if this kid does a .Seth Jones and drops, I hope JB has a trade to move up a spot or even two to get him.
  6. Well, the Jays won back to back in '92 and '93, and the Hawks won in 2014 and should have in 2015. I'm hoping our Canucks can get a couple super elite guys (one D and one center) so we could PLEASE win one or two soon:)
  7. The thing is; none of use (those saying he's a bust, and those - like me - saying he's going to do well) are right or wrong. We have yet to see Jake fit, so we don't know. I'm hopeful
  8. Better than 'fat' Jake, which is what he certainly used to be. I'm coming to the conclusion that 'fat' Jake was not very good. 'Fit' Jake is here now, so we will truly see what we have. If he fails as fit Jake, then we know he's a bust. I think he will succeed though. He's going to be able to keep up at both ends of the ice.
  9. Jake was not fit until almost the end of his season in Utica. As I stated before: we have yet to see fit Jake.
  10. I've been watching Jake get fitter and fitter over this season in Utica. The fitter he got, the better he played. We have yet to see fit Jake in Vancouver. Let's see fit Jake here for a few months. I think he pleasantly surprises.
  11. I like to wear soccer jerseys. I only buy the at second hand stores if they are less than 10 bucks. Now I know who two of the guys are I got: Baggio and Totti. I'll cheer for their team in the big game this weekend.
  12. The Habs GM played for us? Bergivan (sp?)
  13. Me too. Vilardi looked pretty good. I thought Chicago (the hated beggars) got a steal with DeBrincat.
  14. And the local boy makes the team out of camp. Hmmmmm? Trying to sell tickets too maybe?
  15. That's why I believe he's going to really blossom now. It was likely near impossible for him to play 200 feet before.
  16. I'm not fishing. I'm just asking our resident USA...USA...USA expert an honest question.
  17. Goodie! Glad a Canadian team won:)
  18. @SabreFan1 is that losing Mem Cup team Erie in the USA?
  19. Agreed. How could that be a goal?
  20. I'm quite certain Jake will be (this season) the player we hoped for, when drafted.
