  1. Totally curious... where's this comparison coming from?
  2. This is probably the first time I've actually agreed with something you said. Yeah, I don't know why people think that is a 'hockey play'. I'm not saying it was dirty, nor do I think that Kotkaniemi meant to injure him, but it was a senseless hook that ended up in an injury. Why did Kotka think that the hook was necessary for him well away from the play? Yes there are sometimes scrums and a light hook/slash is okay here and there. The way that he got "tangled" was beyond light and that is my complaint about it. It was completely unnecessary, much like Matheson's play.
  3. Wouldn't this actually be GOOD for this kid's development? Maybe you'll see him AND Dipietro on the team someday and they can laugh it off together.
  4. Benning is a genius. Makes one of the cheapest owners in the NHL take on salary, albeit 1.5 mill, and give up a 6th round in the process. I don't care what the return is. That's brilliant.
  5. I think the Chinese investor card has been overplayed. Vancouver is attractive for its temperate weather compared to its other counterparts. Its location and demographics is also an attraction. But I doubt that when Chinese investments leave Canada that prices would drop to levels that ordinary Canadians would feel comfortably pay off. Home owners aren't going to sell their place at a loss because of the prices now.
  6. Is this thread about Pettersson or is it about Dahlin?
  7. We all knew Hockey Gods existed. Pettersson wearing Vancouver's shirt is proof.

      The Canuvks have been screws out if picking #1 in their entire franchise history, only eight they finally get some luck and get the best player in the draft at #5.

      yes, she finally smiled on us.

  8. Are the people still whining about Virtanen? He's showing why he was drafted so high. He's doing all the right things now. So far, the patience looks like it's been worth it. He can be even better than he is now. Let that sink in for a moment...
  9. Wasn't Erik Karlsson pretty highly touted before the draft? Karlsson is a franchise defenceman, which OTT lucked out on (or did), but it wasn't like Karlsson was a diamond in the rough.
  10. I don't know the law on this one. Is this arrest legally justifiable? She wasn't fleeing and there wasn't an arrest warrant. Why is Canada in charge of arresting her on behalf of the US? The US should have zero jurisdiction here.
  11. This just proves that not everyone likes to play in their hometown. Leivo has spent some time in Toronto, but he feels he could prosper somewhere else, hence the trade request he made back in February. Hopefully he can prosper on our team.
  12. Yeah, it's a really good game. MapleStory 2 is really popular also. I like both games.
  13. The whole team wasn't really scoring without Petterson. It's clear that Goldobin can't do everything himself. That being said, he has underrated playmaking skills.

    I really think edibles should be allowed in places where close proximity will be an issue, i.e. apartments, townhouses etc.
  15. Are you seriously saying time is running out for a 20 year old defenceman that set historic numbers in his Finnish league? Also, Pouliot's game is nothing like Juolevi's - it's not even close. I'm not sure why you bring him up as a comparison to Juolevi, aside from their different ages.
  16. I agree with this, for the most part. I was expecting him to make a huge impact, which perhaps was unfair given the fact that this was his first real game on NA ice. He wasn't bad at all though and you can really see the skillset that he does have. He had a number of giveaways, including the one in the first period that was awful. But I am sure he is detail oriented and will work to fix any deficiencies that he has.
  17. I'm pretty sure he won only one faceoff all night - it was really as bad as what cory40 said. He lost all the faceoffs.
  18. Roussel for sure is a fast skater. His speed makes him an excellent PKer and might complement Virtanen.
  19. I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition from what something that was said a year ago. Good on him to admit that he was wrong.
  20. I think you're wrong.
  21. Well, Boeser certainly proved himself, didn't he? He was not "gifted" minutes. He earned them. It's not like his points were stolen from a dominant line.
