Sophomore Jinx replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
While I am happy for Huggy, I would have preferred the nasty, piss 'n vinegar JTM as captain. -

Sophomore Jinx replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We should have brought in that D-Man, just for the name... "Di Guiseppe, -- it's not delivery, it's Di Liberatore! -

[Buyout] Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Sophomore Jinx replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Call me a weirdo, but I think OEL may do well in the new environs....less pressure, the Swede factor (Ekblad, Forsling) and Montour already on D, and a chance to find his game again, may be motivating factors...I did say may be haha. He could also be ass, and continue to play with one hand on the stick, and the other on the paycheque, (albeit a smaller one now). We'll see. -
Puh-leeze, to say he is under contract is a reach, this guy is done like dinner. He's a 29 year old call-up from the "A"...a gross under achiever, who will turn 30 next year in the AHL, where he will likely finish his career. As for "no glaring weaknesses", his 6g in 117gp in a Vancouver uni (and 11g in 153gp) say hello...he is a guy who can't score a goal to save his life (or career), and the guy couldn't connect on a pass either lol....in the minor pros, he's got decent, if not unspectacular numbers...approx. .65 PPG...but that is it...in the "show" he is beyond useless That is my HOCKEY assessment of him...as a PERSON, he seems like a really nice guy...and as the Taylor Pyatts et al before him, I think that is a lot of Gaunce's problem, it hasn't served him well at the NHL level
