  1. its kind of a double edged sword though isn't it? On one hand Kuzma is seemingly prying but on the other hand he has released Brock from the media/fan pressure last week 1/2 the fan base wanted Brock traded for being slow and uncommitted now they are mad a Kuzma instead and ironically not mad at Drance. It was a tough moment to be sure, but Brock chose to answer, and comes out looking better for it I certainly feel a swing of support for Brock, from me and many others
  2. Just going by scoring and position, ( position being C or W ) the bottom six is Hogs Bo Chia Dick Lami High Dries Rich Petan Bailey Dowling Lockw So I'd keep Bo at 3 c and give Hogs a chance to show it was a sophomore slump at 3w zI might let Lammikko and Old man Richie battle it out for 4c but I would rather a Brian Boyle ( at under 30 YO) for 4c I might let Chia and Lockwood battle it out for 4rw I might keep 2 of Dries, Petan, Dowling and Bailey in Abbottsford, but wouldn't want all4 as potential callups like happened this year Dickie either plays way better or finds himself on the waiver wire post camp So my bottom 6 looks something like Crouse (if you can get him) Bo Hogs Deslauriers Richardson Chia (Lammikko) (Lockwood) oh, who goes? Dickie, Highme, Lammi, Lockey,Driesy, Petie, Dowly , Baileyie Lockey and Lammi might make 13/14
  3. maybe they learned a little after gunning hard for 100 points last year only to get bounced priorities
  4. umm we lost and failed to hold a lead and um ... we lost
  5. Its funny though that so many fans hate Drance because he is not always blindly positive about the team. Donnie and Dahli talk about being denied access to the team if they rock the boat the Canucks and the NHL are corporate controlling entities Any media agreeing with "Fire the Owner" banners or planes will find themselves out of a job. I don't recall, but I doubt the reaction was any different when it happened in Ottawa and no one ever says anything publicly about Arizona no one ever says X is a bad coach
  6. I think the biggest thing keeping Green from getting another NHL job is his ego HIs Head Coach or nothing stance will be hard for him to overcome and hard for an NHL team to accept I think you are right
  7. remember Wonkie Willie coached 100 points out of the team Torts Tanked I think you are correct
  8. why? Why does vancouver have to play every player after 1 year in the minors while good teams keep them down longer?
  9. all I was trying to do was to show you the value of cherry picking you seem to understand when I do it but not when you do it
  10. how about Getzlaf? 29 yo second highest point total of his career at 87 followed by 70 66 73 61 48 42 17 37 or Perry 82 at 29 yo but then never more than 55 or Guy Lafleur 125 at 29 yo followed by 4 70+ seasons (one was actually in the 80s) and only one complete season or Smyl 20 goals at 29 yo followed by 12 7 1 2
  11. but that means that VegaS must never commit to a rebuild
  12. Kinda a lot like all those guys they should have an award for those guys but who to name it after/ The Ed Van Imp award?
  13. Greedy owner doesn't fall under the heading "Hockey Gods"
  14. this is one of those awards that you sometimes think teams should just be able to take a pass on. Some guys have come back from injuries Some guys were traded after signing for too much and too long, but I guess didn't whine when they ended upon a bad team some guys are older than GOD and then there is Jake DeBrusk, seems to have been on the trade bock for 2 years, are the Bruins trying to up his teade value?
  15. and who knows, he might be a better player after playing in a winning atmosphere remember he played for the leafs, Kings during down time, Zona and Vancouver, not a lot of "Winning Culture" there, he also played for 3 coaches in 4 years in Philly The Tampa experience was probably helpful for Luke Schenn Schenn is/was kind of like Gubby Gub Gubner, high pick that took a long time to find his place
  16. That pretty much explains all the problems with Jim 1's team building technique People hated ol' Gubby, said he wasn't and NHL defenseman, but he looks okay playing in Calgary on the 3rd pairing remember in his first year when Gubby and Benny the Hut were playing first pairing? Whether it was trading a 2nd for Linden Vey to work the 3C or trading a 3rd for Big Dickie to work the 3CJim just kept filling roster spots with guys that were underqualified to play the role. Same was true of his coaches and the same was true of himself, not qualified to be president not GM without a mentor like Jimmy R to show him the way
  17. Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony tail hangin' down with a giggle in her talk and a wiggle in her walk makes the world go round round round she makes me act so funny and I spend my money makes me feel real loose like a long neck goose Oh baby that's what I like
  18. "MOOOOO" so it comes down to Mr A and Mrs M If they are on the same side, he probably signs If not... "Yes Ma'am"
