  1. What petty low-lifes. Trying to stir crap up. F***ing useless hacks.
  2. Mentioned this yesterday in a status update: Our quality prospects are reaching a "critical mass" point: We're accumulating a serious stockpile of quality youth. At a certain point, surely they start feeding off each other's skill, developing & growing more rapidly alongside each other(mostly in Utica, to a greater degree than prev yrs). They will also be raising the bar for their competitive peers(at same positions) to play for the big team. This is where orgs like TBay, Pitt & Nashville have recently stood, where they can fully develop aspiring youth; holding them back until completely prepared.
  3. Schneids/Bo Horvat..bandits! That's how we made out.

     

    Keep seeing threads(HF trade section) where NJ fans wanna deal Cory. 4 more yrs of 6 mill(already 32, getting injuries frequently)

     

    One thread they & StLoo fans are debating a Jake Allen/Cory deal.

     

    Can't believe some sneezed at our GT scenario. We're looking sooo good here.

      I always liked Cory. Too bad it hasn't worked out for him these past two seasons. Wish him well. Come back to Vancouver haha.

      Schneids had a bad couple of years. He was one of the best netminders in the league until 2016-17. If he can't pick it back up, it looks like we might come out on top.

      I remember Schneider having some sort of stress related dehydration issues or something like that.  Maybe playing under the pressure has gotten to him?  

  4. At what point does it happen?

     

    Sooner or later, a massive deluge of high quality draft picks must exact the desired effect. Each individual prospect we analyze, will surely be enhanced by the quality of fellow prospects they're developing alongside.

     

    Is Benning Fr*cking with the tide to lift all boats?

      Utica looks like they will be absolutely stacked next year.

    3. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      @King Heffy We said that this year and that didn't turn out so good.

      @Where's Wellwood better than last year.  Megna played only a couple of shifts up here and then got sent straight back down.  We had to call up half the Comets by the end of the year and there still wasn't anyone on the Canucks who had no hope of becoming an NHLer.  This is progress.

  5. 2007~2012: What ****ing seeds were planted?! ANYTHING? Sure we were winning then. Doesn't mean you send yer scouts to Antarctica. What the **** did they do??? 2014 -> moving fwds: Jake, Demko, Tryamkin, Boeser, Gaudette, Brisebois, Jasek, Juolevi, Lockwood, Petterson, Lind, Gadjovich, Dipietro, Brassard, Rathbone... Yet mosey on over to HFBoards to hear how they demonize & vilify Benning. Yeah right..those guys MUST be realll fans, eh?
  6. "Justify"? "It's easier to deceive a man, than to convince him he's been deceived." Pick a verb..it matters not one iota. In 2013 things were bleak. How ever we got from there to here wasn't going to be pretty. But today we could be sitting FARR worse. Picture Mtl with 8 yrs(or their HART guy) at 10+ ****ing mill AAV! Or Cowtown, after their circus tent collapse, & no 1st rounder! Our recent top picks ain't even started(some trolls actually use that as ammo!). It's GREAT we've held back all that fine youth, for 3 FULL ELC yrs, yet to elapse. Things are shaping up nicely, & people can frame this 5 yr term however the F*** they choose. I choose to give JB & TL the benefit of the doubt. SURE they've made mistakes, but the benefits far outweigh. Which explains JB getting another 3 yr crack!
  7. Kinda' interesting R17..1st coupla pages of this thread back in Oct, 2017, received some rude/arrogant replies. Those termites mostly scurried back deep into the woodwork. I feel the 5 or 6 main discussion points I stated stand up pretty well, with today's hindsight.
  8. Next yr's finish is between #14~#18 OA..essentially we'll resemble the performance of the Avs, Devs & that sort. It starts here folks!
  9. Big upgrade. Finishing touches on DD & early July, with a fine-tip brush...
  10. 1 Van, 2 OTT, 3 Mtl

     

    This would be my fav lotto outcome. Pretty groovy, I'd say...

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      Van 1.  Van 2.  Van 3. 

      Thats my ideal draft scenario:)

      Alf-enstein monster, that might require a deal or two?

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      he'ld trade all that in for a herd of cats. it is kind of gross though, when he starts coughing up fur balls.

  11. Yeahh..pretty ho-hum 72 hrs for a 21 yr old kid!
  12. Heard back in the day(forgot who tol' me:^), people's memories actually worked. One article where some journo said he was talking with Scotty Bowman, about a random depth guy(whose career had ended, decades back)..Bowman starts recalling player stats/details about the guy from like 40 yrs ago..interviewer was pretty stunned.
  13. Funny, was laughing with that quote you listed, a couple days back :^) JB's critics have been looking more foolish by the day.
  14. Sid, Read some HF poster stating Jasek's NHLe #'s(whatever this means?) indicate almost a 20% chance of being a 60 pt NHL'er. You familiar with this? Could you enlighten us donut shop laymen? 2015: Brock, Gaudette, Jasek, Brisebois. My word...
  15. ROUND 1: WPG hosting Minny is a virtual-lock.

     

    Suter out should be a big factor?

    1. luckylager

      Lets go Jets!

  16. STEALTHY is the word this season will be remembered as. Everything seems to have transpired with cards close to the vest. Considering 95% of the media & their bs-style, rather understandable I'd say.
  17. My 'Sedinsy' scoop has been kerfuffled!

    I'd been told they'd switch to #32, claiming only ONE retired. (secretly alternating to stay fresh!)..don't worry folx, will give my inside source a harsh dressing-down!

  18. RDF, Getting ahead with the roster? I'm calling for JB to get aggressive draft/summer, at moving out some middlish, slender vets, to bring in some muscle. With all the kids incoming, seems a good time for this. Just been too many seasons decimated with injuries. Now comes size, to accompany the young speed & skill.
  19. LORDY! Looks like Eichel already picked 5 apples!

    He can bake a pie chart!

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Sabfan will be happy. Rhino also with hatty.

       

      Eichel with 5 helpers, but -1! (lots ppg's)

  20. Don't mind if CBJ take tomorrow's tilt(regulation win). They need it for positioning(home ice for PO's), so they'll be playing hard. Then we're guaranteed 6th(from bottom) is highest we can finish.
  21. Could be reading tea leaves too much(?)..but... Could the team know the twins are hanging them up? Feels like they've shifted gears, & are trying to advance stages of all lower-leveled fwds. to whatever next stage they might move on to(compensatory trickle-up?)
  22. Give me your hungry, your tired,

    your poor,

    I'll p*ss on'em

    That's what the Statue Of Bigotry says

    Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death

    Get it over with, & just dump'em on the boulevard

    Get'em out, on the dirty boulevard..Goin' down, to the dirty boulevard..goin out to the dirty boulevard
