  1. I'd much rather see a defensive D with Hughes. Bouchard is trash in his own end
  2. They want to win. They love winning and hate losing. Lucky to have them.
  3. Minimum 11 per. Cap rising next season and EP and his agent know it. He's worth at least 11, most likely 11.5 per.
  4. Very much so, sad but true. I do however commend Pods who works his tail off. Apparently Kuz is putting in the work as well. Not all bad, but there is definitely a history there.
  5. Absolutely. Too bad, he had the size and talent. Just not the desire to do what it takes to play in the best league in the world.
  6. Then I'm guilty of having an Anti-Toronto bias. He has no physical game to speak of, scared of getting hit, barely adequate defensively, can score. One dimensional in my books.
  7. Meh, I think the ship has sailed for Try. He would be fortunate to get a PTO in the NHL at this point I think. Maybe a two way deal. I liked the guy as a player with some potential, but I'm not convinced he had the desire to put in the proper training.
  8. Yip. Just having Myers not paired with OEL will be an improvement. Those two together equaled clown city. I can't even count how many goals went in where one or both of those players were out of position, in no mans land, looking dazed and confused.
  9. What a name, lol. It's literally a sign you would hang at the front gate of your farm if you were looking for extra work.
  10. Bye. King leads all our former coaches having players roll their eyes once turning away from the timeout clipboard speach.
  11. Not a big Nylander fan, but regardless. You start paying one dimensional wingers 10+ million a year and your limiting the monies to spend at center and D which are far more important. There are only so many wingers in the NHL worth that and Nylander isn't one of them. Imho.
  12. Yip. Patience. I like the direction I'm seeing, and the coach.
  13. I remember this draft well. Was the first draft I watched with my boy where he was legit full of prospect knowledge. We wanted Hughes so bad and jumped for joy when Detroit took Zadina. Makes you wonder who Canucks would of taken if Detroit took Hughes. Dobson is a about the only consolation prize
  14. I wonder if they are gearing up for a package for Nylander. A Zadina in the minors would be a somewhat attractive commodity for the Leafs?
  15. Man, just looked up Zadina's, worse than I thought.
  16. Lol, Right?! The media just fawns over Stevie Y. It's gross.
  17. I like the Bertuzzi add, luke warm on Domi as he goes missing for stretches. Book it, Domi comes out of the gate flying and all the media will be a buzz, then he will disappear. The Reeves acquisition is a farce, the guy can barely play and keep up anymore. He will be on the bench mostly and when he gets on the ice take stupid penalties or get scored on.

    Charmin/soft?

    100 percent. If you put yourself out of position to make a hit, it's selfish and costly. Need to know when to stick check, when to angle, when to get in the way, and when to light someone up. All totally different plays at different times.

    So much this. This is the road to successful hockey. For example, It's mostly the reason I value EP more than AM. EP isn't a tough guy but he grinds it out well and wants to do what it takes to get the puck back. Somewhat rare for a superstar. That's just a small example but it's along the lines of your comment. Fights are getting less and less a factor but the sandpaper edge, the JT type that despises losing. Hughes even just despises losing. A successful team has more players that are just basically tough to play against. High time this team makes themselves groan to play against and I truly believe Tochett et all will make it so. We need to show a little patience, I really like what I'm seeing from player acquisition and the draft.
  20. More valuable, and better all round hockey player. I'm being dead serious. I wouldn't trade EP for AM straight across.
  21. Very much fills a specific need. Very happy to see this signing.
  22. Seems more like the two people left standing at the dance just looking for partners.
