[Signing] Blue Jackets re-sign Pierre-Luc Dubois
SilentSam replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Virtannen and a 1st . -
you said “the brain trust in Calgary” ... I got lost after that Tanev. is 4.5m x 4 Hamonic is 1.25 x1 Freedom is a beautiful thing.. that money helped us get Schmidt. Tanevs release from something long term and Hamonics short term allows us more opportunities after this shortened season. Expansion this year too, off season will be interesting.

Yes,. But it’s actually in his stride,. He covers so much ice in that one step.. once opponents are aware of it,. Tryamkin has actually learned to “fake” his initiation into contact or direction.. even in his time here he used it and had players cough up , or force pass as they were setting up. He is also very quick up n down blocking lanes close to the net. His blocked shots in the KHL are stacking up pretty good. going back to speed.. there have been times he’s been dished the puck cycling up out of his own end, Its amazing how fast and strong he is at full speed.

Yes. and I think Tanev was over rated with the Canucks. Rarely did I see Tanev shut down a forward on the boards, he tracks, allows entry and time with the puck for opposition in his end. Never physically engages in that position. on the other hand that can be a big part of Hamonics game.. as a D man, Shutdown should be the position you try to put yourself in on a forward in or before entry.. it creates a stop on the entry , a separation from the puck, a broken offensive play.. the same in an offensive cycle. If you time the body as you target it works.. if your trying to follow and track the puck it dosent. A good first game with Hamonic last night with a new team in short preparation.. only to get better.

I appreciate that Rob, as I do our fair debate in the past , and in what ever times there are ahead. Nice to see you back on the board, I truly all is well in your world, it’s been an up-setting one to say the least. Tryamkin is just coming into his prime, avg around 20 + a game, nothing broken on him, no heavy duty repairs,. Could be an iron man D for years , his work is old school simple and powerful.. can’t think of a single russian that grew a mullet to gain attention his +1 in the game below was on the pk where they depend on him shutting down an entire side. Bill Peters has allowed him to excel, nothing political involved when an NA Coach is behind the bench over there.

As Hamonic is an upgrade on Tanev, I see where Tryamkin will be an upgrade on Hamonic. Im hopeful the next season is back to the regular October start and 82 games. .. btw Rob, I’m drinking 5 shot lattes /no foam these days they are as effective as this power move below. VV

Back home in Sweden he is a filthy millionaire.. restaurant, cars, family... there is no way in hell he survives even an alternative season in the AHL. if he dosent find a good doctor after a trip and fall into the boards head first,. Opening a book of concussion history.. wink wink.. and an LTI claim.. then he hasn’t reported to the Comets.

I’d call him “Spitz” or “Wizzby”

Loui at the airport,. It finally sets in..

[Signing] Canucks sign Travis Hamonic
SilentSam replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I see Nate Schmidt as the upgrade.. Hamonic as the Tanev replacement. I see any of our worthy prospects as the Stetcher replacement. just sayin.. I’m counting apples now, not beans.. and when Tryamkin gets here, I’m going bananas. -
.. The End. ( can we move this to “Alumni “ please )

road trip to Utica.

The problem is he takes up a roster spot for almost 2 “aces” rotating in. it’s the value of the spot and what it creates for those prospect/players needing the experience. it should be available from Day 1 of the regular season.. “Low Down’s” opportunities have passed.. and his demotion if it happens will have no bearing on another Altered hockey Season.

No doubt he is dealing with this type of pressure at some level, isn’t his team owned by Putin through this oil company? SKA is owned by Russian state-controlled energy giant Gazprom. The club used its immense wealth to gather almost all elite Russian KHL players under its umbrella to prepare them for the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics.

May have lost in this tournament, but he is going to become a Champion in Vancouver.

If it’s any consolation Jan, I was just about ready to ride shotgun with you.. I only read this page
