  1. Fox has played 2 AHL games. Seems to be fine in the ECHL, I'd say time is running out for him. Maybe he should go to Switzerland or something and try and make an impact there?
  2. Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune, something to make us all happy. Do anything to take us out of this gloom, sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.....

     

     

  3. I say he makes the team, but I bet he will taper off mid-season. But I don't think 15 goals is out of the question, in fact he could make 20+. I just say 15 as consistenency is something this team struggles with.
  4. Kudos for Brook Ward on TSN 1040 for slamming Botchford. I'm glad someone is.

      I have been enjoying those two, they're infinitely better than Pratt and Jake

      He was going on about the Jays, and in 24 hours Botch went from "The Boston games don't matter" to "They need to blow it up.." Ward was just pulling Botch's strings, it was so refreshing to hear. I turned it off when Botch was saying why was a Cap player on the bench when they were excellent for 25 minutes. The producer explained there's a difference in being in shape for 25 minutes, and 90. Botch couldn't understand that.

  5. I can't get to sleep
    I think about the implications
    Of diving in too deep
    And possibly the complications

      Dudes slow needs fast wingers to make him look good.

  7. It's not flawed in the fact that after a strong start, he went the minors then struggled to get it together. No one really knows what Jake's top end is. It's also not flawed that not every player follows a linear path. Some take longer than others to figure it out. The reason it gets mentioned is that the Islanders gave up on Bertuzzi, and Vancouver benefitted from it.
  8. Bertuzzi was 24 before he started to get consistent. Jake's not even 21 yet. This is why rebuild's in Vancouver are rare, because despite what fans say, they have NO PATIENCE.
  9. Not to be a downer, but I wish the best for this kid. But Schroeder, and Subban are wake up calls to know the kid's got the deck stacked against him. I hope he makes it. But he is a 6th round pick. But there's one stat you can't measure. The size of your heart.
  10. I find it hilarious. When Benning draft's grit, people freak out and say he should draft skill. Then he drafts skill, and people freak out and say he should draft grit. Looks like he did a little bit of both in this draft.
  11. It would be nice if the Canucks would track prospects and let people know how they are doing?

      Just one example

  12. Mini-Tank for our Tank Corps?
  13. WTF is going on? I went to two stores, just to get a single Klondike Bar. All they sell is tubs of ice cream. I don't want a tub of ice cream. I don't want a pack of ice cream bars. It's hot and you can't buy a single Klondike bar?????

      That's a wee bit out of the way. I might have to go to Timothy's Frozen Yogurt in Steveston instead.

      That was the problem TS, 7-11 didn't have any, just small tubs of ice cream!!!!

       

      Even the Shell station, no individual ice cream bars. Oh the humanity!

       

  14. Isn't Cederholm coming to play in North America this year and compete for a job?
  15. Subban finally has someone to help learn how to stop forwards from attacking.
  16. So is Garteig still in Canucks plans?

      Always good to have goalies in the pipeline.  Garteig was always around for depth I figure (he'll be 26 in November).  Drafting DiPietro won't change that.

      I sure hope so! I have him in my fantasy team and I'm pulling for him to challenge for the starter's job if Marky falters but I still like Marky plus we have Bachman as well. Garteig will probably be backup to Demko in Utica I would assume and would get spot starts whenever Demko needs his share of rest

      I was sort of hoping for a Demko/Garteig tandem in Utica. 

  17. Lindy Ruff to be an assistant coach to the Rangers. I thought he was going to retire?
  18. But it's ok to write off Benning before we see his picks develop right?
