  1. It’s been really good to see the way the Swiss are developing over the past 2-3 years DW. They have come a long way. I think they will rival the top 4 for years to come now.
  2. Picking a D. Bromberg. Underrated potential in a big agile frame. Great stamina. Above average skater, skills and smarts.
  3. It’s easy to see that his ceiling isn’t touched,. So much to work with, falls right into the “new era” of hockey. D fence is changing, LH / RH won’t matter much any more.. D will “rove” and cross over from side to side to create offensive zone confusion.. Forwards will be listening for Key or Code words on the ice when a D man guns up into play. I see Broberg as a very exciting player.. another tireless big body.
  4. The Swedes have nothing to write about since Petey left.. The Finns are getting all the attention,. And watch out for the Swiss!!
  5. Damn I’m looking forward to seeing EP 40 with at min. 5lbs / max 12lbs xtra on his frame next season.
  6. Jan,. If you can line that up.. I have 50.oo CDN in my pocket to contribute. If it doesn’t work, at least we start a good ol Vancouver type Riot in Yekaterinburg, Russia... either way, we’re famous!!
  7. Tryamkin has stated he is comfortable both sides, prefers RH, and plays both sides. Apparently Benning is in Sweden at this tournament. The work continues.
  8. He is also a bit squishy. We have enough of that.
  9. No one brave enough to ask Peters why Neal was sat.. at least they’re intelligent questions.. unlike the dweebs we got.
  10. I have a hard time seeing Neal was sat in a game 7 ... I don’t care how poorly he had been playing, replacing him with a wet rookie should be questioned. Neal was brought in for his playoff experience.
  11. Kane is a beast. Damn, it wasn’t too long ago Buffalo wanted Tanev and a prospect or a pick for him.. or sumthin like that.. we overrated Tanev.
  12. His anecdotes are getting a little long in the tooth, .. like his Uncle Dick, who shaped the first hockey stick in Yukon out of a dog sled ski,. Given to him by an Inuit Elder who is 99 years old , and just happens to be neighbours,.. with,.. you guessed it,.. Wayne Gretzky.
  13. ... I’m hoping Tryamkin is watching Zadorov go deeper into the playoffs.. they were teammates at the 2014 WJC... just sayin.
  14. Smitties,. They’re all meeting there for breakfast on Sunday after church. . Cause there’s no mo hockey.
  15. Avs peaked at the right time .. a team that skates fantastically.. with a Coach that preaches discipline.
  16. I can agree to disagree,. But understand I’m not expecting Reaves to score those type of goals whoever he plays with,. But he will make it difficult for any 30 goal scorer he plays against to play in the comfort of regular season hockey. This is the playoffs.. deployment and assignment is key, and part of the game. May the Gods Damn that the game evolves in such a manner that it goes the the way of ping pong or non contact Bantam Level.
  17. All these big boys have game in them if given the opportunity to “have game”. I think goon is the old term for a guy who chucks mitts but can’t skate for his life to go and pick em up afterwards. I see Reaves in this generation,as a must have on any team, He can skate with Kane,. He can skate with anybody.. That’s called a “complimentary” player. ... and again this will evolve. ps. Hitting is a tactic in hockey to wear down or frustrate, or intimidate your opponent. ...just like scoring goals.
  18. I do like Jake, he is on that long strong curve up that most good power forwards take.. his strengths being his speed and his shot.. it would be nice to have 2 like that. Tuch stood out the other night.. without looking at his stats too much previously, I never realized he was only 22. Thanks for that bit of trade history,. Yes, it seems Minny May have oversold.. Tuch could be a great part of Vega’s future. That damn expansion draft,. seems like extortion .. just the threat of taking a certain player, when you might be bluffing.. is that how it actually lays out?
  19. I didn’t see that he signed with Vegas for 7.. my oversight, thanks.
  20. I did not realize the Tuch was only 22 yrs old.. if his points curve continuous he will be a bigger force than what he is now.. RFA this season..
