  1. Have to imagine he's talked to Linden Vey about his Canucks' experiences. Not sure whether that would be good or bad
  2. I dont think Lind displaces MacEwen, assuming the latter isn't claimed by Seattle
  3. Plus, with his NTC they can't pick him and flip him. I reckon it'd be pretty safe exposing him
  4. I noticed that Teves didn't play for Utica tonight - did I miss a Canucks recall of him?
  5. Indeed!! Sven with a goal and an assist in their 5 -1 win. Good chemistry with Jasek. And wears an "A" (Although it was actually his 3rd of the season ... maybe his 1st with the "e" dropped from his name and the umlaut placed over the "a" instead)
  6. Remember that Seattle is not only picking an NHL team, but also will be stocking their farm team. Outside the draft they will sign some FAs, but will also select, in the ED some "on the cusp" prospects. If Lind or Gadjovich are available, my guess is we lose one of them. Or Rafferty, if we sign him to an extension before the ED
  7. Final score: 5 - 1 Comets Gadjovich 2 goals (#s 10 and 11), Baertschi a goal and an assist, Rathbone 2 assists, Jasek 2 assists
  8. Utica is currently playing.... down 1-0 to Syracuse at the end of the 1st
  9. Utica trailing Syracuse 1-0 at the end of the 1st period
  10. Expecting to see a lot of grey silhouettes with #Lastname on the roster
  11. I'll bet they all have, to some extent. Everyone I know that had it lost a little weight.
  12. Sedins, Hansen and Bieksa all signing 1 week contracts and pedalling furiously on their exercise bikes?
  13. And it is telling that Jason Gregor said "..10..is the number of players comfortable to play a game". I wonder how many opted out. (But I thought the agreed NHL protocol was that a max of 10 players were allowed at once on the ice after a covid restart)
  14. Some "out of the box" thinking (not Green's long suit, I know) .... Go with an 11/7 format, and give Hughes and Rathbone some winger time on the 3rd or 4th lines. Let Edler take the hard D-zone starts and PK, and have Hughes and Rathbone as a potent 1-2 punch on the powerplays, and some softer O-zone starts
  15. That's all we need ..... a few players short, weakened by covid and out of shape, playing back-to-back games. Injuries waiting to happen. Stay hunkered down, Petey
  16. Per 650 right now they are heading "back on the ice". Don't know if they had a morning skate, or if this is their only one today. (Great interview with Jannik Hansen)
  17. Get him over here ASAP for a few games. See what chemistry he might have with Bo or Petey at center. Find out what he needs to work on over summer .....skating, edgework, endurance, acceleration, upper body, whatever. As well, meet his teammates, get to know the city a little better (he was here for the world juniors, so not a complete unknown to him). Everything to make him comfortable when camp begins in the fall. He is going to be as much of a core piece for our cup-winning run as Petey, Hughes, Horvat, Boeser and Demko will be. Get him motivated and enthused by treating him as royalty as we did with the other young superstars.
  18. The trouble with that is that then he is taking either Juolevi's or Rathbone's spot in the line up. Unless the brass thinks that Rathbone needs another year of AHL seasoning. But judging by this year where he started in the bubble, then got sent down when it became obvious that our LHDs weren't getting injured, it would seem that they think he is NHL ready. The right seems secure, with Myers, Schmidt, Hamonic (if resigned) and Tryamkin (where does Rafferty fit, if at all?), with possibly Bowey as well and Woo pushing from behind Probably goodbye to Rafferty, Brisebois, Chatfield and Sautner
  19. Benning: with Benn out, OJ is going to get a good chance to play the rest of the year
  20. 10 mins until Podz signing? (Give him time to shower) St Petersburg eliminated (lost 2-0)
  21. Everyone's tune will change when he lands McDavid in exchange for Sutter, though
