  1. Drew a penalty, got a shot on goal, and the way he plays I bet the opposition was glad he only had 10 minutes icetime. And in just a few months it seems very probable that he will be doing that stuff wearing a Canucks uniform. Yessss!!!!!
  2. Petey doesn't even pronounce his own name Swedish style, so I wouldn't rely on his pronunciation of Hogs' name.
  3. With the team looking better than it has for a decade, new Calder finalists each year, and a young core that can reasonably be expected to continue to improve for years to come, the dwindling handful of hardcore JB haters are looking more pathetic every day.
  4. It wouldn't be a complete shock. Toffoli is a more well rounded player, but he is not an elite scorer.
  5. Not sure what the troll-boys are going on about with OJ. OJ is certainly far from being CDC's favourite son. Wanting to see him under the same microscope as Jake? He is already there, and has been there since he was drafted. Jake is probably the only member of the team who has had as much unfair crap dumped on him as OJ has. This thread did not get to 731 pages via an endless string of glowing posts by homers like me.
  6. Horvat is a good captain, which means he is not likely to say anything that might damage a rookie's confidence. While I am certainly not saying that Hogs is not ready, you need to take Bo's statement with a grain of salt.
  7. Absolutely. The way the team is looking now, it is hard to consider anyone who is still whining about Benning to be a fan of the team. The blueline in particular looks better than it has for a decade.
  8. Pretty sure that most of those people are just hoping we got worse so that they can whine about it to make themselves feel superior.
  9. Your belief that Benning is one of those people, and bases his business decisions on stupidly shortsighted optics seems rather silly to most of us. Do you have any actual evidence that he cares more about appearances than he does about improving the team?
  10. People who make extremely shortsighted decisions based on what makes them look slightly better today at the expense of long term results, tend not to end up in positions of responsibility. If through some strange twist of fate you ever end up in such a position, you should keep that in mind, or your tenure will be very short.
  11. Ah, I see. I thought it might be something like that, but the illiterate ranting did not make it clear. Thanks for the translation.
  12. One thing I remember about Tram was that his passes were harder than Henrik's slapshots, and were difficult to receive cleanly. I think the improved skill level on the team will make him look like a better passer, as guys like JT, Petey and Brock will have little problem with his long hard passes.
  13. You have been negative and willfully ignorant about Podz ever since you jumped into this thread last year and abused poor Alf because he wasn't as ignorant as you are about Podz. Specifically, you insulted Alf because unlike you, he was aware that JB had described Podz as being NHL-ready when he was drafted. If you don't want to be called a joke, maybe you should stop saying stupid things like, "This place is a joke anymore. Pod should have won at Ross..." about a player that those of us who actually follow our prospects are eagerly awaiting.
  14. Can't say I blame either of them for feeling a bit confrontational with the media. Too many "so have you stopped beating up your girlfriend" type questions. Looked like they maybe had a bet about how many questions they would get before some idiot asked about their weight.
  15. Could you try that again in English? I assume that you meant to say something, but whatever you are trying to say isn't obvious.
  16. Better attitude and effort than Podz? You have never watched Podz play or paid any attention at all to him have you? I guess when you are busy rewriting history you don't have a great deal of time for current events.
  17. You have written some bone headed posts and this one is a classic, with no connection to facts I mean really none. It's about dealing with reality and you do a bad job at that.
  18. Thanks for sharing that. Don't forget to also tell us to look both ways before crossing the road.
  19. I imagine that he would still collect, but the team would need to pay it out of their pockets, rather than having an insurance company pay it.
  20. No worries, I will decide for you. We are keeping Podz. As you point out, he meets our team needs better. We have elite skill already, what we need are the things that Podz brings. He won't likely win any Art Ross or Rocket Richard trophies, but he could be in the conversation for a Selke or Hart when he is in his prime.
  21. Seems kind of pointless in this thread, since nobody will be on the taxi squad until training camp is over.
  22. Really? I have heard that there is a new strain that is more contagious, but I have not heard that it is more deadly or that the vaccines don't work for it. Could you please include your source for this information?
  23. Once people have been vaccinated, I see no reason why social distancing limited numbers of them shouldn't be allowed to see the games with masks. For the first little while the only people in the stands will be healthcare workers and nursing home residents, but that's fine, they deserve some fun.
  24. I do too, and I think he will be. He had better be, because Podz is going to be here sometime in 2021, challenging him for that spot.
