  1. I am calling it now - Nikita will be here next year.
  2. i have watched this young man the past few games closely and he is a legit NHler - Benning thanks for the early Xmas gift.
  3. Hutton was okay and as long as he is okay than there is no real problem. right now he deserves to be in
  4. love hughes put that looks like pond hockey D there
  5. Yes, it was. Read what you wrote.
  6. he/she doesn't need to grieve but definitely some reflection needed on why the prediction while so strongly stated was incorrect.
  7. 35 years is not an 'incredibly long time ago' - the 14th century is. I can distinctively remember events from my life beyond 35 years ago. Research, including research on trauma overwhelming support the ability of humans to recall dramatic and even mundane events quite accurately well after they occurred. Second, you have zero evidence that she was drunk. She admitted that she had a beer but she was not asked if she drank the whole thing or not. You are adding your own facts and of course not properly referencing research on memory and the ability to recall. Lastly, you don't know how appointment processes work if you think the hearing shouldn't have happened regarding her claims.
  8. For the record you predication was wrong.
  9. Jake was better last year. I would be wary about using the second half of the season for measuring what is to come. Teams that are in playoff contention tend to not play as hard against teams that are not very good and are not going to make the show. They safe themselves a bit and that in turn makes out team look better than it actually is. As you mention he is still young and it is not like we are any where close to contending. As long as Jake takes another good step this season than people should be happy or at least not think all is lost. He is still very much trying to figure out what kind of player he is. Regardless of where he lands in the line up the most important issue is to be noticeable and impactful each shift.
  10. He has stated that he is not withdrawing. Guilt in this situation one way or the other cannot be proved. Lapse of time and the nature of the crime make it difficult to. There is doubt about him so the common sense thing to do would be look for a different candidate.
  11. Gaunce basically needs to play at a level none of us have seen him play at the pro level if he is going to stick. Would love to see that but wouldn't bet 20 bucks on it.
  12. The problem with Sven though is that he cannot stay healthy playing the type of game he has to.
  13. Goldy has to have a 'golden camp' or he will lose a spot. It is now or never. This doesn't mean scoring necessarily, just being involved and making a difference in all areas.
  14. how often does a team get to the conference finals on average and a game 7 at that. Teams are in the business of trying to get in the playoffs and win. When they are close they often trade prospects for vets.
  15. not sure you can call the Bur trade robbery. They made a deep run with him and down the stretch he was very good for them. They got value from that trade as did we.
  16. Nikita isn't nor will be Chara.
  17. hughes is 100% turning pro. Will be in the show or the A.
  18. people showing videos Roussel from 3-5 years ago. Hmm
  19. i think you are exactly right. I don't think he is going back to school for the reasons you just stated. It will be NHL or AHL for him. Juolevi probably won't make the show either so right there you got a two pairing to learn how to play together. Quinn wants to go pro so that is a huge point, and what is more Benning and crew want it as well.
  20. Yes and no about the yotes going off the board. Hayden was going to go in the first round and people were saying the he could go higher to a team that wants C's. I thought that the nucks might have gone after him. As Benning said later you can't trade for C's these days they have to be developed. So I don't think people knew what the yotes were looking for but taking him is not what i call off the board. I always scratching my head a bit when pundits were saying the yotes would take a D. Everything I had read about them was that they were okay there. Regardless few people thought hughes would be there for us to take.
  21. almost every hockey pundit i looked at thought hughes would be gone. Benning didnt think he would be there. This is Christmas come early for this organization. This was a dream come true for us at 7. I wanted him or Brady but didnt think they would be there.
  22. Remember the Canucks are high on Brisebois whose numbers are only slightly lower that Dobson - remember as well that Brise played on a completely crap team. The nucks have guys that look like Dobson, but we don't have a Hughes. I thought the canucks wanted him, but didn't think he would be there. Chicago and the Oil passed on Dob as well.
  23. he held his own at the worlds. I would take small, fast and smart over 'big body' any day.
