  1. Hard to get excited for an overager but with him missing a full season in his draft year its probably best he's there. At least he's preforming well, would be awesome for his team if Bennett makes it back and is assigned there.
  2. Seems Bobby Mac thinks Jake will play with Conner @TSNBobMcKenzie IMO, 7 locks up front: Domi-Reinhart-Duclair; Fabbri-McDavid-Virtanen; Petan. That leaves 1 spot at C, 2 at LW and 2 RW plus 13th fwd. (Learning new phone can't properly paste tweet haha)
  3. Doubtful but if they did Jakes backward skating speed might make him ideal. Plus the lack of right shooting dmen, never know. Just can't wait to watch the tourney!
  4. Wow can't help but have a huge smile while you watch that lol. Class.
  5. Thats true but that was 4th line vs 4th line. And a message was trying to be sent, but your right. Taking the draw against Duchene flanked by Hank and Radim must have been extremely exciting for Bo. Was Bo in last night, I missed the game any feedback if so?
  6. Gotta think they know its gunna happen, then the adrenaline kicks in and you forget everything. Probably why he kinda smiled when he caught on. Always entertaining to see, and giving him the opening faceoff was just the icing on the cake of class that is WD.
  7. He did the Vancouver hockey blogger on hockeybuzz had a video in today's blog.
  8. He also said he was getting prime minutes, but he wasn't.
  9. They're defenceman who constant match up against the other teams top lines? As opposed to a bottom 6 forward deployed in favourable matchups. And both of them could be better. but we don't also have young first round picks vying for there spot if they continue underperforming. At the end of the day everyone who's saying trade Matthias for Horvat because horvat would do better. Has no idea if that's true. Same goes to those saying send Horvat to junior and play Matthias because he's better. Maybe we should put them on the same team and see who performs better then? Maybe? Anyone?
  10. 9 games 1 point minus 5 11:30 average toi. I'm not big into plus minus for obvious reasons but since he's by far our worst forward in that regard. I'd say he's been an anchor to the team. And as for playing out of position he's always been a C/LW so its not really outta position.
  11. His skating is probably on par when you factor the size differance. He was a forward once aswell and I believe his skating is one of his best assets. I think I might have read something comparing his stride with Duncan Keith's or someone else once. I'll see if I can find it a little later.
  12. Just to give him a taste of the NHL life then send him back to dominate.
  13. I hope Vey has really worked on his faceoffs over the summer. Having a good right handed centerman would be ideal since everyone else is a lefty. As much as I'd like to see Bo make the team.
  14. He played 22 games in the men's league for all of 6 points for a struggling MODO. and played nearly 60 games against U20 where he actually showcased himself. Its not like he was dominant against older compitetion.
  15. I'd be willing to bet Benn-Seguin-Hemsky work out well next year. Same with Drouin-Stamkos-Callahan. I'm not saying McCann wouldn't look good with the 2. I just think that skill/style should be spread out, Making it harder to match lines against. Having a line with less of a one dimensional style can be harder to gain a read on. Like the Sedins everyone in the NHL knows there game. They know its going to cycle.
  16. BMO was of the same mold and fit in with Bert and Naslund. Two players of complete different styles. You can't just have players that all play the same game on the same line. You need some diversity. Plus Bo could cover for Hunter and Virtanen and still chip while still producing in faceoffs and gritty points.
  17. I think they'd compliment each other very well. Jake carries the puck in tries for his shot. Bo is the trailer looking for the rebound. And Hunter could be the speedy playmaker who can also finish and keep up with Jake.
  18. Pretty sure there's this Kovalchuk guy too. I hear he's pretty good.
  19. Doesn't make it any less true though.
  20. Really excited to see this guy in the future.
  21. I agree Fabbri might be a bit of a reach at #36 was just trying to think of smaller guys who may drop a bit. I like the idea of Virtanen/Vrana over Nylander-Ehlers/Pollock but that's just me. Smaller players with talent fall more then larger ones with talent lots of teams might take a flyer on Pollock between 25-35 . I just think we should grab a bigger skilled guy while they're available. But saying all this at the end of the day I'll be happy whoever we walk away with.
  22. Or take Virtanen at #6 And take one of the smaller skilled guys who drop, Like they always do at #36 like Fabbri or Vrana
