  1. zack got suspended today for 1 game for throwing his stick, definitely desbiens fault! @ChrisKuc: AHL suspends Chicago Wolves right wing Zack Kassian for one game for actions during game at Charlotte on Nov. 6. #Canucks
  2. funny, i thought zack had one of his weaker games last night physically and he still managed to make an impact on the game with 2 points. He really is a well rounded player he can beat you in so many different ways. Very impressed with him early in the year & and his commitment to all aspects of the game.
  3. they were together for the 1st two games. I think arniel wanted to have a more balanced attack the other lines were struggling a bit. (hayday-sterling-ebbett) were pretty awful together in the opener.
  4. sad thing is if rodin's goal wasnt disallowed everyone would be saying what a great pass it was and what a great game he played. its 5 games in a lot of players have struggled out of the gate hold the firing squad.
  5. awesome thanks guys, ill see you at tomorrows game!
  6. what was his goal like? cant find highlights

    yet is the key word my friend
  8. um, yeah.... love his chirp afterwords.
  9. for once i agree with jim, the only way that setup would work is to go the sabres route a few years ago briere-drury and the kid line of vanek-roy-afinogenov and use kesler like they used drury to matchup and play the checking role. much easier to just get a thirdline checking centre and put schroeder on kesler's wing.

    please i dont even want to think about it. the sedins are pure magic to watch on the ice.
  11. its funny to see that "guranteed" playing time was that big of a factor for this kid. Look at Nikita Filatov last year, Ottawa promised him a shot at a 2nd line role and after 9 games he was assigned to the AHL. It doesnt matter who you are you have to earn your keep in this league or you dont play simple as that.
  12. “I’m going to be totally honest,” he said. “These past two years I needed it, the development. Looking back, I’ve learned so much that I wouldn’t have learned in college if I’d stayed. I’ve learned so many parts of the game that it takes to get to the next level. I’ve still got a long ways to go but I’ve learned a lot.” the most important part of that article for me, shows the difference between hodgson and schroeder, cody wasnt willing to pay his dues and let his game evolve.
  13. sounds good, send some to tanev while your at it. Although by the sounds of tanevs year-end press conference MG and Dave gagner might have already sent some.
  14. jordan has really elevated his game this year, he really has taken a huge step in his development.
  15. i think you can see glimpses of kassian's game at times, when he holds off defenders and makes a play or gets in on the forecheck and plasters the guy into the glass. I think he can turn into a great 2nd line winger in 2-3 years. I see a comparable for him as a blake wheeler type player with that type of learning curve as well give him time.
  16. i havent seen anyone ask for him to be up for the playoffs. Most of us want to see him get a taste in the last 6games so that going into the offseason he can see what it takes and put the hunger in his belly for training camp.
  17. you can watch him play anytime you like, theres this awesome site that has full games to download for free of the wolves. wolfkeeper.org must say i love the guy that runs this site. i can watch our prospects anytime i like!
  18. hopefully him not being called up is for the best. The wolves are in a very tight playoff race and maybe its a sign daniel will be back sooner rather than later.
  19. maybe with daniel going down that will open up a door for jordan. Hopefully it doesnt come to that though fingers crossed for danny playing in colorado.
  20. i would agree nuckist, playing a bigger role on the wolves would probably have benefited him more just like tanev.
  21. well he hit that point total today 2-1 shorthanded winner in the third. He really has started to take his game to the next level and with his raw skill this is very good news for the canucks. 28points in 47games now third on the team.

    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    yup, especially with the type of game Rodin plays. He likes to protect the puck and spin off defenders will only get easier for him with some added strength.
  23. i watched two games last week and if some plug named davies could score to save his life schroeder would have had 2 or 3 assists. Sometimes as a passing centre you are at the mercy of your wingers. Although i still think schroeder has another gear to give and i think we will find it.
  24. exactly, the kid has nhl talent that much is obvious the rest remains to be seen, i think he would feed kes and booth a lot of nice pucks in a couple of years
