It still kind of bothered me that (imho) Linden still had some gas left in the tank. Tied with Ohlund with the most posts on the team in his last post-season. AV should've figured out a way to fit him on the roster.
A nasty really dirty player. Compared to Stevens who just gave out nasty headshots (which was a legal hit back in the day). Both made even more effective by the intimidation their reputation brought (and well deserved rep because you had to always be aware as an opposing player when you were on the ice - but Stevens would lay you out within the rules of the game then).
While there wasn't a ton of talent on his team's, there was alot of heart. Not to mention a ton of guys you'd want to be watching your back if you entered a dark alley. Even Thomas Gradin was no creampuff.
Reminds me of the time the Canucks & Sens played 'tag' with Wade Brookbank. A legit heavyweight fighter but that was his *ONLY* hockey skill. Canucks & Sens kept waiving & claiming the player for a period of time in a season.
Probably just a "technical glitch". We're all just 'making a mountain out of a molehill'.
I tore the tag off a mattress once as a kid....then notice the warning about not removing the tag. I had trouble sleeping for the next several days before talking to my parents.
I don't see that as being such a huge issue in that the owner of the Arena is the same person that owns the team. The Canucks are the main breadwinner so they should have the higher priority imho.
At least Poolman's contract is insured. What GM signs a contract with term for a player that insurance companies won't insure because of serious medical concerns like Ferland? That damn Gillis.
Roussel played above his pay grade before the injuries. Poolman, like most of Jim Benning defenseman acquisitions sucked. Just not as bad as badly as others. But still sucked.
Which player *LED* his team is points in the SEL (major league European league) one season - team MODO?
None other than the legendary Byron "Why the **** is he on the point in the Canucks power play" Ritchie. I guess that's why.
