  1. that's too bad, get well soon. they will have at least one more home game after tonight fortunately. I will probably be watching online, if not listening to most of it. Canucks game will make it tricky to catch both games.
  2. The attendance in Game 1 was not that great for a playoff game, it was the lowest playoff attendance the Royals have ever had at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre (4103) It should be a bigger crowd for game 2 tonight though.
  3. Kaid Oliver has been out for a few weeks now, he is a big part of their offense so hopefully they can get him back in soon.
  4. the tiebreaker game tomorrow night between Kamloops and Kelowna will be free to watch on WHL Live
  5. post a picture here and someone might be able to help you out finding the price.
  6. that's awesome, congrats! those are some valuable cards!
  7. Kamloops and Kelowna will have a tiebreaker game Tuesday in Kamloops to decide who plays the Royals in round 1.
  8. Here's the thread for the Victoria Royals first round series of the 2019 WHL Playoffs.
  9. surprisingly, Kamloops blazers have come back and have taken the final division playoff spot from Kelowna Rockets. if Kamloops wins their game tomorrow, they make the playoffs and face the Royals.

  11. great story. it's surprising how many people used to use sports cards as throwing cards against walls, it's probably the most common (and unfortunate) old sports card story out there.
  12. This few day break from Canucks hockey feels like forever.

      @goalie13 I think that the recent Canucks news might be a reason it seems like so long. I can't wait to see Hughes on the team.

  13. when I think about the arrival of Boeser, then Pettersson, and now Hughes, this video always comes to mind :lol:

      Literally exactly what happened, complete with Boeser being bitchslapped away at the end xD

      If we can have a stud player step in year after year, then I think we will be fine. Next year should see a big influx of youth. Hughes on D, Demko in goal and Gaudette, (KAKKO please) and MacEwen at forward.

       

      You also never know who could surprise in camp. Juolevi, Woo, Brisebois, Chatfield, Lind, Jasek are all dark horses to make the team.

      @RetroCanuck I think what's even MORE important is that many of our young guys have to take the next step and become less of a supporting cast and more drivers and leaders. Bo is really the only player (and Petey this year0 who has year after year, taken it upon himself to become better and better and better in all facets of his game.  I see the same drive in Petey so that's not going to be a big issue, Stech as well but he'll never be a game changer. Guy's we need to now help take the reigns are Boeser (he has a great deal to work on, his skating for one, defensive game, release, etc), Goldobin as we all know, Jake needs to take a big next step, baby steps time are done, Hutton, and to a lesser extent Gaudette and Demko. Many of the players have alot more in them but seem to still be stuck in the "I need still prove i can be an  every day player" mentality vs "I need to be a difference maker mentality'. Bo  and Petey never questioned if they were an every day player, they came in and from Day 1 wanted to be a difference makers, we need need more Bo/Petey mentality in the boys next year.

  14. There was a small piece of grass or fiber of some sort stuck inside the case and it was touching the card a little bit as well, so Beckett told me they would let me send it back in (for free) and they would fix it, re-case it, and even let me send a second card in with it to be graded for free as well, so I sent in my Mikko Rantanen UD Exlusives Young Guns 002/100 card I showed in my original post to be graded.
  15. the Royals are scratching a lot of players now. It's definitely the right thing to do after how injuries really costed them the playoffs last season.
  16. I just received my Connor McDavid Young Guns rookie card back from Beckett! It scored an total of 9.5 which is fantastic! Surface got a 10! Beckett told me 10's on surfaces are very rare to happen!
  17. I don't know if McDonalds does hockey cards anymore, but I know Tim Hortons has been selling hockey cards for a few years now. I don't have experience selling cards, however, if you want to sell your cards I would suggest looking for a local card shop to sell them to, or if that won't work out maybe look into selling them on eBay.
  18. Victoria Royals have clinched a playoff spot and home ice advantage in round 1 of the playoffs! They will face the Kamloops Blazers in the first round.
  19. the Royals will either be facing Kelowna or Kamloops in round 1. Kelowna currently has a 58-52 point lead on Kamloops, however, Kamloops has 2 games in hand on Kelowna.
