  1. it'll stick around until next season then probably disappear. most of the talk about him will start to happen in CT at that time (unlikely he'll have his own thread dedicated to him, but he'll be included in all the other threads about the team) I'll be moving him into the graduated section of the prospect tracker next season.
  2. still counts as a win, he tied up towes, which is no easy feat.
  3. man, i wish kiril would have made it over here.... he's got some serious skill.
  4. for the guy who was saying bo wasn't contributing outside of faceoffs, last night you saw exactly what winning a faceoff, even ones in his own zone, can do. he got an assist based on his faceoff wins, one that led directly to 2 of hansen's goals. Henrik got a free +1 because of it too.
  5. you do nothing but contradict yourself over and over. you don't want to change the lineup, but you want it to change because you feel someone doesn't contribute... make up your mind. also, as far as not contributing: 75 faceoffs, 56% win rate? 58.8% on the road (where the coach doesn't get to choose a favorable matchup), nevermind the solid defensive play and he is just starting to get rolling with his first goal....
  6. but "We have the record we have because of the lineup we ran with." he was part of that lineup, so " lets not mess that up" and did nothing to contribute? 75 faceoffs, 56% win rate? 58.8% on the road (where the coach doesn't get to choose a favorable matchup), nevermind the solid defensive play
  7. horvat was part of that lineup... or are you saying we should keep him in....
  8. well, domi is leading it, so you'd have to assume it's gotta be somewhat bad for your health.
  9. i guess the question is, do you want a 4th line you can actually roll, or do you want to just roll 3 lines with a fourth one seeing 3 min a night and hope they don't become a liability out there...
  10. yeah, after further digging the 9 game teaser season doesn't count, so he'll have another year of the chl before he is ahl eligible.
  11. all the agreement says is "Players drafted and playing for CHL teams are ineligible to play in the professional minor leagues (AHL, ECHL) until they are 20 years old (by December 31st of that year) or have completed four years in major juniors." it doesn't say how many games consist as a year. I think he might be AHL eligible next season... i'll have to look deeper into it.
  12. next season he will be 19, which is NOT an overager.... overagers are kids eligible to play in the ahl (20 by dec 31st of that season), but are returned or continue to play in the chl.
  13. shink and mccann get a free pass for being our "extra" first round picks. so they become "steals"
  14. don't worry, 5 good games and they'll be back, stronger than ever, proclaiming he's the next one.
  15. i'm not really sure what "many players come off injury and production immediately, especially in junior where he should be dominating" means...
  16. there was a single interview on news 1130, and VC decided each quote needed to be posted to their individual threads... all of the tweets are on their timelines: https://twitter.com/News1130Sports?original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fprohockeytalk.nbcsports.com%2F2014%2F11%2F07%2Fcanucks-recall-jensen-from-ahl%2F&tw_i=530809059847733249&tw_p=tweetembed
  17. its both. the earlier of age 20 on dec 31st of that season, or 4 years in the chl, but kids who get the exceptional status are typically in the nhl already before the 4 years are up.
  18. what's an emoji? are those the twitter emoticons?
  19. as soon as his contract uses up a year it can no longer be deferred and will continue to use up years no matter where he plays, even if he were to be sent back to the chl as an overager for some reason.
  20. did you grow up in saskatchewan? because the same game i scored 5 goals in one shift the 2 d-men got in a fight with eachother and they were both kicked out.... it was hilarious.
