  1. You're not alone. So sad. He'd be so fun to listen to now that the team seems to have finally turned a corner. Nothing he wanted more than for the team to succeed. He kind of revolutionized hockey journalism. A sports journalist that actually listened to fans, re-posted their thoughts. Used actual clips to explain plays. He went out of his way to help young sports journalists. But of course he dared to take to task Aquiilini's impossible dreams and JBs compliance in humouring him by sacrificing building "an army" for a revolving door of second rate free agents and trades that was supposed to get Aquaman on the leading float down Robson street. I was continually astonished that such a fan-centric writer and commentator, with a deadly wit, was so maligned on CDC. I suspect there was a bit of piling on by newbies. He was the only journalist in this town that I trusted to say the truth...and shout it out if he had to. Loved his passion for the team! So they get rid of Dhaliwal and Auld and keep Sat Shah? Man that guy is so overrated. Can't stand listening to him for more than 5 minutes. Talks like a 12 year old girl at a pajama party. Just goes on these long diatribes where he repeats himself at least three times and doesn't stop for a breath. And then cuts off his co-host when they attempt to give their opinion back. He was okay as the producer for Bro and Pratt, with the occasional contribution, but he is not a remotely competent broadcaster.
  2. It seems as though he's still using the same static PP setups he used with the Sedins. Which catered to their lack of speed as their careers wound down. Frustrating to watch.
  3. Uh. Okay. Just not hearing much about him.
  4. I predict this will be a classic Canuck meme for years to come. Can't wait to use it for the winning SCF goal!
  5. Gotta say I did not want it going to a shoot out. I thought the Petey, Hughes, Boeser ToD line would have the best chance in overtime. Billington, the Stanley Cup run young phenom I think had a perfect shoot out record if I heard them right. Against our young backup with around 10 games under his jockey. What a goalie battle. I thought Demko looked very calm and confident. After that last preseason game, I wasn't sure about him. But he looks more than ready to play 25 - 30 games.
  6. Its not that easy. I think you have to sweep them over the full season
  7. Almost looked like Petey might have already scored but I hope they keep it for Bo
  8. We are holding up pretty well against the SC champs. Who will always get the benefit of the doubt especially in their home games.
  9. Twice that's happened to him. Going to the net like he's supposed to. Hit the post once. He's having a good game.
  10. yeah, its usually because all the other regular PP D are out with injury that they are forced to use Stecher. His game is very suited for the PK., If he only had a better shot, better hands. I know he got a goal last game. Sometimes he can look like the poor man's Quinn the way he waterbugs around the ice. Needs to keep producing points.
  11. The mysterious case of Olli Juolevi. Has there been any updates recently? The last I heard was in training camp where it was reported he was all cleared by the medical staff. Then it was a for sure for exhibition games. Then it was the start of the season. Now it seems he's back off the radar. Its been something like 10 months since his knee surgery. I am getting discouraged we will never see him play, shades of Rodin.
  12. Like this! Just listening to it again, I missed it the first time, the announcers, probably from St. Louis" "Odjick ought to be suspended from here to a couple of years from now"
  13. Well, as Bertuzzi also discovered, it really is, what it is.
