  1. HI Wolfyre. I'm not sure how helpful most of these posts have been for you, but what I can tell you is that, of the few Skytrain stations in Surrey, Scott Road does have by far the largest parking lot. It's the one that a lot of commuters coming from the Fraser Valley will use to park in for the day when the take the Skytrain downtown. I haven't parked there on a Saturday, but I'm sure there would be lots of open spots on the weekend.
  2. I agree! I'm making post #3, let's see if we can get the number of pages in the Perron thread up into Juolevi or Tryamkin territory! What other interesting comments can others add about him??
  3. And I had a dream the other night that he won the Norris trophy! Now I'm getting really excited to see him back here soon!!
  4. Okay, I'm willing to trust your memory over mine The main point is though, he was seen as a young D with very high potential at the time.
  5. Most people seem to forget that OJ had also just come off being voted the Best Defenceman at the WJHC when the Canucks drafted him. He beat out a lot of other highly-touted young D for that award.
  6. You just said what I was thinking about MacEwan too, but wasn't ready to say out loud yet. I completely agree with what you're saying about big guys who play a small man's game in the NHL. I call it Darren Archibald-itis.
  7. He's a big body, but I didn't think he played a particularly heavy game tonight. I though he looked more like a gentle giant. I hope I'm wrong about him, but I'm questioning if he actually has the mental makeup that a 4th liner his size needs to play the heavy, physical game that he should be playing. If not, I vote for giving Bailey a try. At least until Roussel, Motte and/or Ferland gets back.
  8. I'm more interested in knowing how he's keeping up with Makar. That will be a race to watch through the rest of the season. Although I know Hughes' chances of catching Makar are slim to none, unless Makar gets injured, a la Boeser in his rookie season.
  9. I kinda wanted him back up too, because I thought he'd play like a player possessed, getting another chance at life in the NHL. I saw none of that and now at least I know it's not because he hasn't been given enough chances, he's just not ever going to be anything more than a fringe NHL player. We're much better off keeping 3rd and 4th line players who can at least contribute energy and physicality to the lineup, like MacEwan and Motte (when healthy). It's just time to let Baertschi go.
  10. Yeah, whenever you hear a player being described as having "concussion-like symptoms" after being rocked in a game, you know they have a concussion. Same thing if they say they're just having headaches after a hard jolt to the head; that's a concussion.
  11. If the Canucks do decide not to sign him, I can't see them letting him go without at least trading his rights.
  12. None. If you'd been paying attention you'd have noticed that for the past couple of seasons Green has nearly always played righties on the right side and lefties on the left, as long as he could find enough of each. When a D has been injured over the past couple of seasons, it's almost always been a D who shoots the same side who has been called up (most recently, Chatfield when Tanev when down, etc.).
  13. I have a strong feeling that it's Jake's hockey sense, or his ability to keep himself from taking shots and turning over pucks in the offensive zone, that keeps Green from playing him in OT.
  14. Sounds like a good idea, but I'm just concerned that Ferland's physical deterrent (i.e., fighting) days might be over.
  15. Yes, but the question is whether Green likes him on the right side. Green is very set on having only RHD play on the right and vice versa. I can't remember any other Canucks coach who was as rigid on this issue.
  16. Might be easier to find good AHL'ers to play in Toronto than in Utica.
  17. It's a lower body injury and it's serious, my wild guess is ACL.
  18. Poof, you have a big keg with no bottom in it so all the beer runs out and that's the only drink you can have for the rest of your life! I wish I was a Canuck!
  19. I'm sure Markstrom will eventually pull out of this, but right now it feels like Green should be playing Demko every night if his priority is on winning.
  20. I wondered about that. I didn't know the stats, but I always get a feeling of dread when we play a team in a back to back who played their starter the previous night and puts their backup in against us. It's amazing how often the backup stones us!
  21. And the player who currently has the 3rd overall PPG in Liiga is another Canuck prospect! 2011 6th rounder Patrick Westerholm -- the future is bright with these two snipers!!
  22. He would have paired well with Garth Butcher.
