    Podz seems to be going the Bo route, remember when he arrived and had to work on his D game and skating? (And the idiot media labeling him a career 3rd line center) 

    Seems to me Podz is in the same boat, has all the offensive too but like Bo, his D game needed to be involved and like you said, now it is. Yeah he'll break out, his confidence is growing and that's about all he needs more of now.  Glad we picked him up, could have been a easy 3rd overall pick had he not had to stay in Russian for the 2 years but now it's starting to be seen why he was scouted and signed, great pick! Nowhere to go but up! 

    Pods defensive  game has always been very good.

    Not sure why everyone is doom and gloom.......Calgary, despite their standing, is a solid playoff team and the Canucks shut them right down.  It wasn't a great game to watch, but it certainly wasn't a garbage game by either team

    I beg to differ.. nucks were brutal all game.. couldn't skate . Could make the most basic passes. Petey didn't look interested  all game. He's terrible out there

    if you're going to throw that many that early you need to make sure you finish it or you completely tire out, which is what happened

    Exactly . Also fighting a lefty is tough work. Everyone's got a plan till they get punched in the mouth

  4. I feel this would be a very unwise choice to have as face of hockey ops. Especially with what has gone on with ex Canucks over the years. I hope that Rutherford is more in tune with society to allow this to happen. We can not brush away past atrocities, and act like everything's better now.  This gives the wrong look to young females and people from other countries as we try to grow the game, and just morally wrong in general.

    Soo Burke had a domestic dispute charge in '97? Not saying it's good but I would hope he is not a bad guy anymore if it's been almost 25 years.

    Should he be given another chance?

    No he shouldn't. Set the tone for the rest of the league.  That this $&!# will not be tolerated.  Ever. Period.

    Hunt was out of the lineup today.  Burroughs didn't play a lot but took down a Washington player and dropped the gloves after they started digging in on Demko.  

    He got caught pinching twice (and pinched a few times successfully), but I honestly thought that the forwards were more at fault for not covering for Burroughs.

    Yeah I like his game alot , little rust from not playing in a while. But solid. I like his no nonsense  attitude he brings. No one is gunna get picked on when he's in the lineup and hates it when anyone goes near Demko, something we need. He's sneaky tough too and gets the pistons  firing in a hurry, if he was poolmans size look out .
