  1. The blood is in the water, come out hangry and roll over these guys for 2 more!
  2. Looking better every game.
  3. Would like to see Greener spread some of Hughes’s 5v5 minutes to OJ. Kid’s looking decent enough and Hughes’s struggles in his own end begs to question his 5v5 minutes.
  4. I think OJ was picked based on a positional need and an NHL floor. If he replaces Edler in the long run it’s a good pick, honestly though he looks more like an Edler-Tanev hybrid. He’s got the body and tools to be an all rounder like Edler with more mobility and better raw skills.
  5. Rambo punched, two swollen shut black eyes
  6. Rooster looked better on the 4th line last game and I like the bottom six better overall last game. I’d definitely take him out before Big Mack at this point though
  7. Can we start by minimizing Py assists on there goals to less than three for the series?
  8. Pre-season is over, PK and PP are sorting themselves out, come out angry an roll over these guys for three straight!
  9. Never said it wasn’t, all I was saying is that it was fairly exclusive given the population base and number of rinks and without outdoor rinks, hockey was not available to the average Victoria kid. Where I live on the island of Montreal the city manages 20 outdoor facilities (and there used to be more according to my neighbour who just retired from the city) for a population of 30,000 to go along with their two indoor facilities. It’s a completely different level and I can’t imagine Vancouver was much better than Victoria on access to ice on a per capita basis My parents came from the Kootenays which was completely different than the lower mainland and island.
  10. After leaving BC in my mid-20’s and coming to Montreal in 2001 it’s become pretty clear to me that hockey knowledge in the general fan base is directly proportional to the number of months of out door hockey Hockey was not available when I was a kid growing up in Victoria to the general population, I knew no kids who played at my school. We had something like 3-4 sheets available sheets of ice available in the late 70’s early 80’s in all of greater Victoria that I can think of. Makes me wonder how many on this forum have actually played a Hockey.
  11. I am OK with a down year for the reasons you state, nor am not convinced that Horvat will still be in his prime when this team is a contender I feel we are on more of a pretender trajectory right now. We have some bright spots but we have some huge holes too
  12. Yup they dropped depth charges from planes on the Belugas in the Fleuve de St Laurant as well
  13. You just undid yourself, 5 other guys on the ice, 12 goals is pulling his weight and more with those numbers
  14. Was a half joke, but if we are blaming everyone, which I don’t, they share some accountability for where the team is and is going and agree we could do far worse
  15. We played like the Swiss in the playoffs, hunker down and make the most of your opportunities It was like watching men vs boys especially against Vegas. Could not believe how many DZone face-off wins resulted in their chances against. We struggled making clean outlet passes resulting in bobbled pucks and pressure in our own end. And when we finally were able to dump it in our puck recovery was near non-existent We were lucky for the experience and JB needs to take note that we are far away and falling short on the trajectory (Colorado is of a similar age and they are in a different class)
  16. Sorry but Jake was not directly responsible for 30 GA last year, that’s ridiculous was comparing Jake vs the Zack we had as people not players, all I am saying is Zack sorted out his personal life and resurrected his career and the guy did it from a pretty dark place and if he can pull his head out of his rear there is hope that Jake can, further the Jake we have today as a player is much better than the Zack we had Taylor Pyatt played almost 900 NHL games and I am pretty sure that if the Jake we have is all he’ll ever be he’ll do that and more, Jake has more pure Talent than Pyatt had other than Pyatt being physically larger
  17. Image if this made the difference in a meaningful game, a wrong call on a reviewable play is not acceptable in my mind and there should be accountability I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they had angles we didn’t so shame on me
