  1. Noticed Dylan Strome doing just that last night. Compare his Arizona analytics to his DeBrincat pairing analytics. Probably slightly different.
  2. Gudbranson struggling ! Who cares. Bo is in a scoring slump. Let's tie him to the whipping post too.
  3. Not affiliated with any team, NHL or AHL. Doesn't appear to have played this year.
  4. Crap or not, their silence on the subject just exaggerates the speculation. For me, there are two logical explanations #1....he has the flu and they don't want to have it spread through the team and #2....there are concussion issues. Denied by the team, but it makes sense and is worrisome. Canucks need to address this issue !
  5. We need someone at the NHL level. If this was about the AHL, I'm sure they could loan us a goalie.
  6. Hmmm ? Not to sure what devious stuff other teams would do, but, if we sign Leighton to an NHL contract, he must be waived if they send/ keep him to Utica. Perhaps we shall find out who will be spoilers ! I think that if any team claimed Leighton, it might backfire on them !
  7. Ironic that a player on our 50 man roster who never gets thought of as an NHL option might cause the most angst for Canuck brass ! Bachman's injury hardly got people crying that the 'sky is falling', but his absence might cause JB a lot of stress. If we can't get McKenna back from his fictitious 'conditioning' stint, JB is going to have to give up a prospect or a draft pick. Michael Leighton might end up falling into a nice lucrative NHL contract ! I think that the McKenna 'conditioning' stint started 30th Jan and has a 10 day life. Flyers probably wont send Hart anywhere, so they are pressured to waive McKenna or Stolarz. When McKenna was claimed by Flyers, I don't know if there was more than one claim put in. If they were the only claimant, I think we have the right to take McKenna back and send him directly to Utica. ( if there was more than one claimant they might have some rights ! ) PS....... McKenna has played one game in the AHL for them. LV plays Utica on Friday. Which bench will he be on ? Edit: Conditioning stint for non injury is 14 days it seems !
  8. I find the deafening silence around the Baertschi situation to be worrisome ! ( have I missed an update ? )
  9. Don't think that any of our rhd can comfortably play the left side, so you're probably correct. That left side does not fill me with confidence. Whether Brisebois or Pouliot is on the 2nd pairing, I can see our opposition attacking that side of the ice all game long !
  10. Love CT, but he did not look comfortable playing on the left side.
  11. Pulled this quote off another thread. Can't find any source for the LTIR claim, but if true, means he's gone for 24 days/ 10 games. Thinking AE is on IR not LTIR. ( hopefully ! )
  12. To add to the Sekera return, Klefbom has now returned too. Will be interesting to see if things improve for the Oilers.
  13. Andrej Sekera back from injury ( conditioning stint ). Not too sure if his return has a lot of up side for the Oilers.
  14. I really like McEneny. I like all three mentioned players, but McEneny is my favourite. I especially like his outlet passes from the d-zone. Not too sure what rubs JB the wrong way. His plus/ minus is pretty poor, but I believe he has been the victim of most of the Comets EN goals against.
  15. Lots of prognosticating going on ! Sooo.....one of two things will occur. #1) you're spot on and will be back here thumping your chest and throwing poop every which way, or #2) you're wrong, in which case you'll quietly retire to the dark recesses and hope no-one remembers your alpha rant. Either way....zzzzzzzz
  16. Was in total agreement with Green. Was taking a mild shot at some CDCers !
  17. Sutter with the most TOI last night for forwards ! Green seems to like him way more than some CDCers. Funny how that works !
  18. No Gaudette in tonight's line-up.( 1st Feb ) Strange.
  19. Justin Holl, aka Frank Corrado 2.0, might actually get to play some hockey this season !! TML have now screwed two borderline NHL players Shanahan and Babcock can be beyond pathetic ! Holl has played two games this year. It's not as if the 6 d-men, who got to play, were so talented that there was not an occasional game for him !
  20. Indeed ! Poster also refers to 'ice hockey', as I used to. Means he probably lives in a place where 'field hockey' is referred to as 'hockey' ! PS.......I refer to myself as massively over opinionated, but never an expert !
  21. Hmmm.......one week later.....wow ! An expert !
  22. Artem M with an assist. 10 min of ice time, 6 hits and +2. A much improved stat line !
  23. Woodley, if memory serves me well, was part of what was considered a very weak draft. Plenty of players ended up having great careers tho'. Woodley had some weird problem with the arches of his feet. Specialised skates were meant to fix the problem, but never did. Back then, whenever we had a high pick, it was a weak draft year. That has been replaced by 'dropping a spot or three' at the lottery stage ! ( JJ Daigneault coming up to the draft stage on crutches seemed to sum up our drafting from that era ! ......Juolevi just got his crutches a little later in the process. )
  24. PP with a couple of assists today.
