  1. Not french enough for Basant Motors. Majority of those are playing with Pettersson. I think he could turn Alf into a 10 goal scorer.
  2. I don't think it would be fair to him. He's still a teen playing against men. He did what he could with what he had to work with (not much) and got $&!# on. It is what it is. If anything got a taste for what's expected 4-5 years down the road when he should be getting another shot. Let him develop into a man himself. Give him time to work on his reflexes/positioning and time with Clark.
  3. Went to the game last night and gonna echo a few comments in here. He looked tiny. Almost Pang-like. Maybe cause we're used to Nilsson/Markstrom being 6'6", Demko being 6'4". But man, there was a TON of open net. The shooters these days are so good and bigger goalies are becoming the norm, it's hard to imagine this kid being a number 1. Then again, it's looking like Saros could be going against the grain in Nashville, let's hope Mikey can too.
  4. Getting him on a cycle would speed things up. Anyone got a guy?
  5. If Michigan gets knocked out of the playoffs on March 10th and Quinn chooses to turn pro, it's not hard to keep him out of the line up until the 18th. You give him a week to adjust to the speed and learn the systems, play him against Chicago on the 18th which just happens to be the 10th last game of the season.
  6. As others pointed out, NTC and not NMC. But anyway, yes I do think so. Canucks have the leverage here. Edler wants to remain in Vancouver. The Canucks are not going to handcuff themselves come expansion.
  7. Yeah, that was a head scratcher for me. One second it's good riddance, we don't need him. Oh, but if he came back I would welcome him. No point in arguing with a guy who doesn't even know his own stance.
  8. Boeser is a great player but his skating is his downfall. He isn't a good skater. The rest I'd agree with, except I'd say he's on par with Edler. His size and mobility are pretty rare and combined with his reach, he can cover a ton of ice quickly. I don't understand why you take him leaving so personally. He was just looking out for his family and not trying hurt you.
  9. These kids know their own strengths and weakness better than anyone. He knows what he needs to work on. Quinn's legs are tree trunks. Once he adds some upper body/core strength that shot will come along just fine. He's 19 years old. Strength will come naturally and put to rest this non-NHL shot talk.
  10. I don't think this guy is trolling here. Guess that makes me a sucker.
  11. This post is a joke right? There's no way someone can actually think like this.
  12. Anyone watching the games knows Hughes has been great. Sure, he's trying to do a little too much sometimes. Nothing to be seriously concerned about. He's the type of player that will benefit from playing at a higher level. He'll be up against tougher competition, but having teammates that won't whiff when he sets them up all alone will rack up his point total. He is going to absolutely feast in the NHL.
  13. As much as don't care for Ron Delorme, apparently he was the one that insisted on Pettersson. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/kuzma-ron-delorme-delivered-first-hard-sell-to-get-elias-pettersson-on-canucks-draft-radar
  14. Haven't been out to a Giants game in ages, can someone fill me in on Bowen Byram? I don't know much about him. Who does his play style resemble? Seems to be hype around him, why wasn't he selected for team Canada?
  15. I've played hockey as a forward for 25 years now and after watching that video I'm convinced I could strap on goalie pads in the 80's and fit right in. Jesus what the hell were they doing? Gretzkys on a break away? Better flop on my side and stack the pads with a weak ass poke check.
  16. I feel like you will change your mind in about 3 weeks.
  17. Yeah leave that for us regular folk.
