  1. Are u that afraid of jinx?? Living in fear and denial?? LOL... This season we have much better depth and better coach and GM so no, I am not worried at all!!
  2. Could've been much worse!! Poolman could still have migraines... Demko could've suffered a groin injury... Kuzmenko could struggle at NHL pace... Dickinson's form could dip even further... I tend to look on the bright side... Boeser and Mikeyhev at least will return in a few weeks and the season isn't starting till another 1.5 week. We're lucky to have Hoglander!!
  3. that sounds very rational.. but it's not how the world works anymore.... it's all optics & cancel culture.. you just form your opinion based on what you think seems common sense or truth-like!!
  4. Exactly how I felt too... I know abuse is real bad on kids... but what have they done as a responsible adult now?? Prove me wrong they haven't putting hands out to just take take and take... dinner time, mouths wide open waitintg to be fed...
  5. Sorry just one more point here... I might have been pre-judgemental... but did the kids go to school with a black eye?? I mean... if I get to go to school to show off Gucci and Vuitton all over my body but I was just called a dumbass earlier in the morning by my dad who's got some unreasonably high expectations of me... OR if I got a slap in the head for talking back..... I'm happy to take it and re-adjust my behaviour in the house..... until one day I'm able to support myself financially!!
  6. OK I get your point man... but I was merely commenting on the real world sceanarios.... the super rich don't necessarily behave like normal humans... Lots of kids are born to poor AND abusive parents.... you don't get to choose... but IF you are happy to enjoy a lavish lifestyle taking in lots and lots and don't feel it's too much... then it's hard to get the same kind of sympathy.. if that makes sense?? Again, it's all about perspectives and If this, If that....
  7. Lucky you then... in many parts of the world.... 14-16 yr olds already have to give up school and support the big family by doing child labour.... we have so many first world problems here...
  8. OK... no one really knows if the acts did take place or not.. but what I wanna know right now is... are the kids alright??? how's their lifestyle?? are they wearing bling bling and driving a Maserati with Aqua$?? 'cause the judge will take into account everything he's provided... I'm not joking... if I were born to a super rich family... I have 2 choices... either just leave the house making my own money and never call him dad again or just enjoy life and take the so-called abuses... Life is never perfect.. you take trade-offs and tough decisions every single day... it could have been a lot worse where a kid suffers both poverty and real abuse!!
  9. Any update yet on Mikheyev's injury?? Hope he won't be out for more than a week... we can't afford to lose both him and Boeser to start the season... we gotta have a strong start this time!!
  10. DeKeyser was brought in as insurance in case Poolman can't play... I haven't seen how Wolanin has performed so far but I'd imagine he can't be much worse than DeKeyser??
  11. He was showcasing his new found super laser wrist shot at practice few days ago... apparently he put way too much stress on his wrist after releasing...
  12. As nucks fans.. we just can't get an effing break man.... just when we seem to have loaded up on some offensive forwards... Boeser and Mikheyev will miss time... Hopefully Boes will get back sooner than expected... and Hogz and Karlsson can take this opportunity to shine!
  13. Yaaa... It doesn't seem anything like a concussion or broken bones... Hope he and Boeser will be OK soon!
  14. Aww... Really?? Di Giuseppe has been impressive so far? He belongs in NHL!!
  15. Honestly, I feel like Pears would be a better fit on 4th line than Hogz... Hogz got too much speed to burn and he can pop in goals where Pears is a power forward type more suitable for a checking line.
  16. I'm confident Spencer will be lights out again... He knows it's taken him this far to finally make it in the NHL..
  17. Anyone noticed how Keeper has been doing at camp?? He'd have to beat out both Poolman and Burroughs to get a spot but I'm rooting for him!!
  18. Agreed!! DeKeyser offers experience and leadership.. He maybe slower than before but he plays a physical game so he can complement Myers and make up for lack of size on left side from Rathbone.
  19. Looks pretty damn close to me.. Although Poolman is gonna cry seeing u pencil him in for IR when he's back healthy and skating... For now!
  20. I wonder if Bruce will decide to go with 2 extra forwards or just one. Having two gives us a bit more flexibility in having one physical guy like Lockwood or Di Giuseppe and one skilled guy like Hog... Dermott seems adequate as the extra D-man since he can operate on either side...
  21. Hard to blame JB entirely for rushing Hog that season... 'cause we were up againts the cap limit and Hog did show some dazzling skills at camp/preseason... anyhow, Hog is an NHLer and he just needs to learn to be more consistent..
  22. I honestly don't think Karlsson will stay down for very long... he's too good for AHL... and can play C and RW and will boost our PP too.... as for Hog... sadly he might be a trade bait to upgrade our defense!
  23. DeKeyser a lock to start the season with us?? Tougher than Dermott and faster than Poolman??
