  1. She directed and starred in it. It was filmed at different locations around Vancouver, and in a studio in Langley.
  2. So here’s something to ponder. Does possibly holding 2 decent 1st rnd selections at the draft, allow us to trade up for 1st overall?
  3. His being here is not just about points. Its about having someone passionate, willing to install a combative , emotional energy in his game for others younger than him to play as hard as they can in their own style. How do you follow quiet leadership ? .. with apprehensions. How do you follow a fiery leadership? .. all guns blazing.
  4. Beauviller, great skater , smart, good stick handler.. and a pin point shot. This is a good grab, allows for Garland, Boeser to be moved for picks.
  5. I’d like to see Silovs come up for a few games.…. Depending on the needs and contention for the Team in Abby , that might be the only issue.
  6. It’s a huge distraction for any one else.. Miller handles the press well. Making EP or Hughes Captain now will mess up their game.. they’re kids in comparison. and I’ll add this , making Bo Captain when he did was too early in his career.. I think he would have developed into a total different and better player had Gillis been able to get Shane Doan here for that “captaincy experience” with Bo. “Captain Canada “ had the same qualities as our very own “ Captain Canuck” ( Smyl ) had.
  7. Boeser sucks. I wanted them to let him go free and sign Zadorov . Kuzmenko, it was easy to see he could replace Boeser from watching his skating in the KHL.
  8. The absence plaguing us is Demkos. This is an issue. If he is not back by the end of Feb .. ?? these are the issues : Boeser, Myers, Demko, Stillman Pearson .
  9. 9 years already , I’d say it’s a flash peak and back to mediocre, or less…. Just like LE did , played it safe wanting the money and not playing too hard for it.
  10. LARGER THAN LIFE PERSONALITY?? why , because he is a good interview? I think your manifesting his good qualities and thinking their negative in a room ?? He has been the only true leader on this team since he arrived. Has openly praised the young players he is with,. raved about Podz and the type of player he is. Bo has been here 9 years, quiet , soft, and a career year before his UFA contract. I’ve never seen him praise a teammate , without something short and cliche. Thats soft culture, Thats negative value.. and a declining asset.
  11. I’m pretty sure we are on the correct path of changing the culture here,. Bo was apart of the softness. Miller is a complete hockey player, and an identity for the young core to create their own Drive with .. Thats why he is here for at least 3 more years,. because it’s a crucial time to establish that culture.. and get it back to the years of Kurtenbach , Smyl, and Linden.
  12. JT ‘s drive is what has rubbed off onto the shoulders of Hogz Podz and EP . Thats why they wanted him to stay. Drive. Physical play, and an aggressive demeanour willing to stick up for a teammate.. and still posting numbers close to 1.0 ppg his entire career with us.
  13. Can’t have 2 many centers, Besides, most become a bit “ambidextrous “ and move to wing from time to time anyway. Its like the old days Alf .. your spare pitchers are in the outfield;) This dosent mean much in his early career BUT.. 67 face offs in 12 games and 52% , not bad mr Raty
  14. No. im saying best … not saying what line he assigns too , or who with. but he will be a better Positional Center than Petey
  15. Then they risk waiting tooo long and miss an opportunity that was previously there. Timing is as much a factor . as is player availability. … and what risk is the buyer taking. I think we did remarkably well for 2C having a career season, during his 9th year in the NHL. Thanks Bo, what took you so long? my prediction is this : RATY will be our BEST centerman ( 1C ) inside 3 full seasons.
  16. I agree , I think this and next season is Lou’s time to prove himself after inheriting a pretty good team.
  17. Your as slithery as a pickled herring Timra , I’d bet your meds on it haven’t seen you in here for awhile, I truly hope all is well in your world.
