  1. and then there is the border multiple borders as many euros went home
  2. I know we are talking pie in the sky, and I like pie. BUt I just think its a lot to ask for players to get back in shape for a 2-3-4 game season then be out again that is why I favour top 8ish teams straight to playoffs Goldobin is one example of a player who has already mentally left the organization but Iam sure there are many guys who'se contrtacts are up, that are not looking to get hurt with nothing left to play for. Leivo, Stetcher, Toffoli, Markstrom etc are guys looking for a new contract that could get injured and get really screwed financially
  3. I am unclear as to why so many people want to include more teams in the playoffs? What players really want to get back in shape just to be eliminated a week later? that just makes the Covid break that much harder for the majority who have no chance at winning anyway
  4. I know every Canuck fan want us to win the *Asterisk Cup* so that Loui can retire a winner, but I would go the other way. In an unlikely best case senario, hockey restarts in a month, that is 2 -14 day cycles training camp starts May 20 for 3 days first game is Saturday, May 23 with StL in Colorado, one game to decide division champion playoffs start in the East on Sunday May 24 and in the West Monday May 25 Division finals, top 2 teams in each division, best of 5 teams play every other night. games 5 on Sunday May 31 or Monday June 1 Round 2 - Conference finals start on June 2 and 3 (5 games) finish on June 10-11 Finals (7 games ) start June 13 end Saturday June 27 (if 7) At this point in the standings no 3rd place team is within striking distance of the top 2 because of games in hand, so playoffs is top 2 in each division Colorado is the only team that could jump by winning a game in hand
  5. I don't actuallly watch Utica games, so that is why I am asking. Stevens appears to be a fill in because Utica was short centers this past year, Maybe because Graovac got injured. Hamilton and Campher are AHL contracts. Campher looks like he is there to help the wingers progress, but none of those 3 can play in the NHL. I think I remember Graovac taking a draw for the Canucks, so he would be the call up C last year, but he is a UFA soon. Cap Friendly lists 13 forwards as non -roster (minors) only Grao and Marc Michealis are listed as Cs. Does Michealis actually play center? If so he could help. The othe 11 forwards are wings. I have heard Jasek as a possible player who could come up and replace Sutter or Beagle. thoughts? listed as a RW, is he actually a C? Is Karlsson the guy we traded for Dahlen? do you think he will play in the NHL? Will he play top 6 in the AHL? Is Bailey a center or was he a fill in because they were short? Is there any chance he lines up as a C in the NHL? Did MacEwan play center in Utica? Maybe I shoulkd have skipped the line about Beagle and Sutter because it makes it look more like I was making a statement, where as I was asking a question Still it looks like this team has a lot more depth at wing than center
  6. I know that, but Utica looks to be centered by aging ECHL journeymen
  7. I just looked up the Utica stats Utica is listed with 64 man games by players listed as Center and 123 man games with players listed as Forwards that equals 3X62 games and includes Gaudette and MacEwan. MacEwan is the highest scoring C with 11 points. I heard that we are deep at C If MacEwan make the Canucks next year who will be playing center in Utica? of the 10 Centers drafted by the Canucks sinces Jim started drafting: 2 are on the Canucks 2 are traded, (ultimately for wingers) 2 are in other teams systems 2 are teenages (drafted in 19) 1 is in college (year 3) 1 is burried below the KHL with all the talk about getting rid of Sutter and Beagle, they look like our only insurance against injury to a Center
  8. does Virtanen fit inside the expansion draft list?
  9. remember the mumps a few years back? could be a repeat
  10. ya pretty cool huh, I seem to be into SOuth African chick singers lately llet me know if you find any vinyl

  12. he is the 'energy vampire' from What we do in the shadows
  13. what I notice about old time hockey is that the goalies stand up. The NHL is funny cuz they talk about increasing scoring with all sorts of weird ineffectual rules. there are funny old rules that last forever for no appearent reason, aand then there are the ones they lest disappear. Back in the day goalies were not aloud to leave there feet Now I am fine with the Gump Worsley paddy stack, but "skating" and the butterfly need to be put to rest IMO
  14. ha I thought for a second therre you were talking about Kirk
