Ummm....I'm not sure Babych actually ever had a fight, despite how menacing his moustache may have looked. Other than that, although Rypien couldn't handle the super heavyweights the way Brashear could, I just had to vote for him based on his superior fight technique and, as has been said many, many times, his pound-for-pound dominance!

And knowing how classy Hoglander is, there can't be any doubt that he contacted Loui and got his permission to take on his old number..... can there??

Guiseppe is probably a favorite to be a call up for injuries to any forwards that we might have.
If we just keep 13 forwards, I think you're right. If we keep 14, I believe he stays. Of course, training camp/preseason will be what really makes this known.

Very apt references to Snepsts and Strudwick (and add Murzyn to that group). That lack of lateral mobility for Juolevi is combined with his difficulty with pivots to the left. That weakness on his pivot when trying to prevent being walked around the outside leads to Juolevi not pressuring anywhere near as much as Rathbone at the blue line.
But Juolevi does bring positives: he makes strong outlet passes, he can defend the pk, he is very good in the offensive zone, and is faster than he appears in a straight line, and is agile going forward. Now, it could also be that Juolevi has been improving the fitness of his knee and hip, and that may help to overcome his deficiencies - this may be the first summer he has spent in a long time not just rehabbing from one injury or another. When he was fit playing at the world juniors, he looked damned good, and pretty damned good in the Finnish league after that. If we can afford to keep both Rathbone and Juolevi, we may be able to bring them both along. If either can reach middle pairing status on the left, will Ekman-Larsson be tradeable?
That settles it......... I think we should just all yell "Harrrrr-old" every time Juolevi steps on the ice!

Great to see Kannok Leipert listed at 6'4". He's grown 3-4 inches since last year. Will be catching Nielsen soon at that rate!
-
Still no Schenn on the Canucks.com roster......starting to get anxious here!!
-
He'll slot into the Abbotsford Canucks line up consistently........very consistently.

PDG is a legit possibility for 4th line. He plays exactly the style Green looks for in his bottom 6'ers. If he can do it better than Highmore, I think he could very well replace him in the lineup.

He wouldn't need it at all, but OEL is a classy guy and would ask for it anyways.
A bit like asking a father for permission to marry his daughter, even though it isn't strictly required by law or anything.
Yes, and remember Thomas Gradin wore that number for many years as well. Another respected Swede, still with the organization. I'm sure OEL asked permission from both of them before he even considered taking #23!

I was going to say.... Vancouver media has some of the most unfortunate looking people.. I guess that's why they only have negative takes
So many faces made for radio....guess that's why we lost Sports Page.

Snipe!
Are you sure? Look at the back of his jersey. I think that was actually Handelsbasken who scored!

So what are the real implications of this ruling then?
-
Canucks.com just updated the team roster. Added a bunch of the 'tweeners who will end up in the A. Still haven't added Schenn (or listed his number) though. Wonder what the hold up is?
-
If Chara was just a right hand shot, I think that Benning would have signed him long ago. Like last year, instead of Hamonic. But being a left hand shot, it's hard to see where he'd fit in.

My gut feeling tells me that Rathbone is gonna earn a spot at camp this year and force some very hard decisions.
You mean like to send Brad Hunt to Abbotsford??

Why early 80's SCTV-style punk rock of course!

Love the Aristophanes quote, seems the argument against collectivism goes back much further than I knew. Interesting how each version requires the enslavement o& the able.
When you said Aristophanes, did you mean to say 48MPH SlapShot (since that's who you appeared to be quoting)? If so, no worries, I mix those two up all the time myself!!

Now that Keppen's been resigned, will have to redo all these rankings.....Thanks Johnson!!

Deep Diving: Can Oliver Ekman-Larsson get back to good?
The best thing to do is to keep your expectations for OEL low.
You mean so he can blow them out of the water?!!

34 games makes up all the home games. I probably just didn't realize how expensive hockey tickets are, since I've never purchased full price tickets to anything more than WHL games.
I was hoping maybe a small 10-game pack or something would be viable, but I may just have to go to a few games instead. For some reason I was hoping the prices would be comparable to CHL games.
I was hoping for the same type of ticket package as you. My guess is that they will probably come out with options for half-season and smaller ticket packages after they get as many people to buy full season packages as they can.

Hadn't Ripper signed with the Jets just before?
Sorry to say, but yes. Somehow we let him go.

Seeing that Gadjovich is waivers eligible this year and Lockwood isn't makes it look pretty certain that Lockwood will start the season in Abbotsford, unless he really outplays Gads in preseason (or we have a long-term forward injury).

Yes, he didn't have it in his personality to be a goon, by any means.
