  1. His hockey opinions are suspect, but his use of his thesaurus is ubiquitous and almost ( not quite ) impressive. He's kind of like one of those 'word of the day' calendars that used to be popular.
  2. I thought that PP looked good in the FB streamed game vs Springfield. Not a fan of his usage this year. I guess the choice was ECHL or Finland. Edit: EliteProspects shows him as playing for TPS ( Liiga )
  3. In the Springfield game (....the one streamed on FB ) I thought Jasek was very noticeable. Nothing on the scoresheet, but very good. Was surprised that he gets the only assist on the 3-1 goal. Kero seems to be a big part of the play !
  4. They're all Toronto based.....but yes, the story was about all the Philly goalies from a > z. You were 'z'. Philadelphia has cycled through a couple different coaching staffs and front office setups since the Bobrovsky deal (Paul Holmgren, the GM at the time, is now team president), all while trying an alphabet-spanning list of goaltenders that ranges from Alex Lyon to Rob Zepp.
  5. On topic....why feed the troll(s) ? Off topic......good to see your name/ user name pop up in a SportsNet story yesterday.
  6. 3 years in Owen Sound. I thought he looked good in the last game he played. Was surprised he didn't dress in Utica's next game.
  7. Suggestion comes from someone using the most revered Canuck's name and yet uses an ID pic of the most hated Canuck ever. Hmmm...........
  8. For all CDCers losing sleep wondering about Dmitry Zhukenov ! It's been a while, but it seems he is now playing for AZ Havirov in the Czech 'Chance Liga' ( 2nd tier ). He scored a goal and will hopefully play more than one game and find a home. Has now played 3 games this season and is on his 3rd team ! As I always hope for the best, I expect him to totally turn his career towards the positive !
  9. Minus 4 tonight ! Not his best showing !
  10. Did not see the final 2 minutes. Just before my feed froze, McEneny was limping off the ice ! Any updates on his health. Thought he looked great in the first two periods. ( only saw bits and pieces of the 3rd period ).
  11. .....and don't overlook Tortorella's 2min man, Zac Dalpe ! ( one other draftee with 'nuck links....Jacob Markstrom @ 24 ! )
  12. Watched Utica for the first time last night. Strange game from Springfield. Dahlen looked great, McEneny was impressive and I thought Jasek and even Palmu looked great ! Re an earlier comment on Erik Karlsson's draft expectations ( did Ottawa 'reach' to pick him ? ), here's the 'MyDraft' rankings from 2008 http://www.mynhldraft.com/2008-NHL-Mock-Draft/
  13. AHL site is promoting the Springfield/ Utica game on FaceBook tonight. I assume this is a free feed !
  14. Haha.....let's talk irony. Two 2007 a/cs, both with almost zero activity. Both coming alive again at the same time ! I know it's just coincidence, but a sceptic might be amused.
  15. I think it's just a 'gfm' that he approves of ( who knows/ cares ). I can't believe that $650 has been donated.
  16. Thought that Gaudette played his best game yet against Minnesota. Was especially impressed with his 'confidence' in the d-zone. Seems to have suddenly taken a step forward.
  17. McEneny, who seems to be in the Salo/ Tanev injury club, is often overlooked. A season long injury allowed a projected 2nd/ 3rd round pick become undrafted. A quirk in timing ( can't remember what it was ) allowed us to sign him. He plays both sides. Has good offence and in my mind is 'next' for a trip to the big club. I put him and Sautner ahead of Brisebois, Chatfield and even Juolevi.
  18. I wonder why CDC ( the 'site', not the posters ) is allowing a troll with a 'go fund me' a/c that is basically anti Canuck to post at all. The reason this troll is here is to gain financial traction for his 'gfm' a/c. Recycle this neanderthal to HF boards please !
  19. There are two options ( in my mind ) when things don't make sense. 1) It's not true.....( doesn't fit here ! ) and 2)...we don't have all the relevant facts ! I don't really think that the 'close to the family' story is the whole story !
  20. Sorry if it's been covered already, but don't the Canucks/ Comets have to decide on an extension ( or no extension ) this coming January ?
  21. Sorry if I've got this wrong, but I seem to recall that Reinhart signed with us because we allowed him to move to centre. He played the point on PP ( with great success ). Any old timers able to yea or nay my memory ?
  22. With the various rosters getting healthier, we might see a couple of prospects heading to Kalamazoo !
  23. Toni Utunen moved down a level. Now playing for LeKi in the Finnish Mestis league ( 2nd tier/ level )
  24. I notice that Gunnarsson hasn't been on the Frolunda roster for a few games ! ....................nor has Utunen in Tappara, nor Zhukenov ( wherever he is today ! ). Hardly worth dragging out the Euro stats these days !
