  1. I have agreed with probably like 40% of the calls so far. There's been so many horrendous calls being made.
  2. What's with all of the weak calls this preseason?
  3. With Miller in the lineup why would you not play him on that line?
  4. Lol why is Petey playing with Chiasson and Garland??? What is Green doing?
  5. Super pumped for Bailey out of all players. This guy should be a staple for our 4th line and he was derailed due to injury last season.
  6. Anybody know why Bailey hasn't been playing? He's a great 4th line guy.
  7. While I agree this fan base absolutely loves making excuses for this team, this was a preseason game with half an ahl lineup and none of our best players. Yes, they make excuses, just odd timing to complain about it lol.
  8. Dunno why so many people are sucked at the outcome. Considering the lineup, and if you didn't just look at the score sheet the Canucks played a pretty decent game. Seattle got a lot of weak calls and great bounces. Our pk sucked though. With that said, we got decent performances out of some unexpected players.
  9. My guess is they're getting Rathbone to work on small things during the games to reign him in which is why he's been given so many games. Seems to me they're seeing how coachable he is on a game to game basis. Just a guess.
  10. Wait, Fox won the Norris this past year? Wow. The isolation of hockey info being predominately in the north was reallll
  11. Yeah. I bought the hype and the lesson was learned from it. Been quite a while if you gotta go back to 2014, hey? Wanna go find how I was right about a whole bunch of other players in the meantime as well? Ever since I actually started tracking prospects I've been pretty good. I will admit in 2014 I just listened to CDC build these kids up. I also thought Shinkaruk was gonna be good once too lol. Now I actually assess players for what they bring at an NHL level. Fair point though. Edit: also there's no denying that Virtanen didn't have the tools to become a first line player. Had he the dedication to the game he very well could have been, but again, no denying your fair point.
  12. After preseason I'd probably rank it around average. Middle of the league. Good offensively, but poor defensively.
  13. Hey if he amounts to living up to a top 10 pick at some point during his career feel free to quote me on it. Had you had me in the scouting department that year we would have had Caufield. You can go back in my history to check.
  14. I disagree with Kassian (usually I tend to agree with you). I think he's severely lacking in the IQ department (way worse than I had originally anticipated, could possibly be due to the smaller ice surface). Off the puck he's skating around but he's not directly supporting his line mates. If anything he's bringing players to them. He's not keeping the game overly simplified in enough situations and I'm not exactly seeing that motor that everybody claims he has (I know he has it, but I've always argued he's extremely inconsistent with it). I was hoping for a lower iq Hoglander, but I'm not even sure he will be even effective at an ahl level. He really needs a lot of work. There's a possibility it could be that he's nervous and overthinking the game at this level. That's best case scenario. But based off a few games he is really looking years away from any NHL level playing. Sadly a lot of this is aligning with some of his Russian career, however if he can iron out his consistency issues, hopefully we can get a third liner somewhere out of him.
  15. When are they gonna abandon the drop pass. Clearly it doesn't work lol.
  16. Lol Pearson took like 8 penalties after having a horrific noncall done on him lol
  17. Lockwood surprising me. He's really giving it 100%. Trying to make the team. Love the tenacity.
