  1. What kept the faith in Horvat for me was the praise heaped on him by various junior coaches at the time. I guess they do no more about hockey than us.
  2. I can remember when we drafted Bo. Domi and Nychuskin kicked off pro careers earlier to some success and the Canuck faithful were all a panic. How did that one turn out? Patience people. Patience.
  3. Sounds like a great kid. I hope he can recover and get his chance.
  4. Good to hear. He's smart. Once he fills out I see him as a center.
  5. Ya. I am guilty of using the word size and toughness. But really its more just hard to paly against that I mean. The kind of player that when you go out for a faceoff and you look up over and think....Frik.
  6. OEL. Come on down. July 1st 2019 here we go.
  7. Nice to have a couple great goalie prospects brewing.
  8. Yip. D needs work. Dahlin would be a step in the right direction.
  9. For sure. We are tending in right direction. Depth is big though as well. You lose a guy like Jake and his placement is Goldy. Who would you rather face off in a series? By size I also mean tenacity.
  10. Playoffs and 5 to 7 game series size matters. You get down to the final eight, final four and two and everyone is skilled. In a series you continually pound each other and size wins if skill is equal. Size has a few more tries at injuring skill in a series. You need some size on D to handle some of the size on the opposition. I agree you need skill and size. We don't have the size yet in my opinion.
  11. This. Aquaman should buyout Try's home team and close up shop. Doh!
  12. Barzal is a hell of a player and If Boeser loses out to him so be it. Barzal is in a way better position to succeed though. Boeser is getting checked a lot more carefully as he is our only real threat at the moment.
  13. Last I heard. Forget where. Was like a tweet or interview. He seemed excited to get here sooner then later. Pretty sure we see him at years end.
  14. Heal up kid. I like what I saw at the Juniors. He plays a pro style game.
  15. He does get caught but is surprisingly mobile. He has one more year left so hopefully a pick will come our way next year. Not sure if a playoff wants him and his next years contract for a run this year though.
  16. MDZ has been a pleasant surprise. Was kind of shocked when we signed him.
  17. Perfect. Was just thinking that last night. He still needs work. I think a short stint in Utica and then back to the NHL will help. Rinse and repeat if need be. He has to crank up his intensity. Also needs to figure some way of being involved in getting the puck back when we don't have it.
  18. I remember when Tryamkin hit people they reacted differently then regular hits. They sort of did a mini crumple sometimes. Like they felt it more than they thought they would.
  19. Oh ya baby. I remember those plays. Both Benn and Getz played one eye on Try after that. Man I miss him back there.
