  1. Ya that's true. Now I feel like a douche. Lol
  2. Lol. Don't set the bar very high do you
  3. Is that what passes for hot these days ? Boss? Looks wise , average at best imo
  4. http://www.vancourier.com/pass-it-to-bulis/brock-boeser-s-shootout-goal-is-so-good-we-wrote-a-blog-about-it-video-1.2157335
  5. I'm sure this article from December was posted already , but I love this quote. And obviously since then he has impressed allot further "And, with 21 points, he was 11th overall in Division 1 scoring, which led to NHL analyst Pierre McGuire calling Boeser a projected “big-time” NHL player" This could be one of the best picks we have made in a very very long time. Canucks fans should be very exited.
  6. Which is why he is better off where he is with more time to work on conditioning and lots of ice time. Less games , but more ice time per game. I really really hope he stays put for a least one more year
  7. Ya like I was posting , there isn't one NHL player in North Dakota history that spent less then two seasons s there. I really want to see the kid play here obviously but I think he's better off where he is for at least one more season. North Dakota has pumped out some pretty unreal hockey players so I'm pretty comfortable with him there working on his size strength and skill
  8. I think we should stay away from anyone with the last name white. Lol
  9. My last post was meant for this quote. Lol. Beautiful facility
  10. Wow what a dump. Better get him out of there stat. Lol. Could his success and development this year have anything to do with being in North Dakota? Hmmm. Maybe hey.
  11. And most of those guys struggled allot in the first couple years and probably could have benefited from another year or so in college imo. Turris didn't exactly burst onto the scene for example. He's actually a good example of a guy that was rushed. Leddy same thing. Kesler , well most of us remember how painful his development was to watch at times, and lots painted him as a bust early on because of it. Thankfully he managed to come around. Ur examples actually drive my point through even further. Look at a guy like Oshi. They took their time with him, and when he finally went pro, he stuck at the NHL level and sure as hell made a bigger impact in his career then a guy like turis bouncing around from AHL to NHL (with very little success). Especially early on using a guy like Kyle Turris as an example of development success was probably not a good idea.
  12. Just take a look at North Dakota history. Even just that one school , how many guys u see spent less then two years there that are successful ? Not one. What does that tell you? U say it's not an absolute , but boeser is that one guy out of all those players that our coach and GM should rush to the AHL? Seriously ? What is every coach and GM an idiot and u have the antidote ? Seems like the guys I mentioned developed just fine in the NCAA with multiple years, and if worked for guys like toews Oshi and parise why would anyone rush to get brock out of there. The game has changed so much that we should erase what has worked for almost every successful player coming out of the NCAA? I don't follow
  13. The sooner the better is not true. The odd time it is , but often it's not. Proof ? TJ Oshi - three years North Dakota Matt Green- three years North Dakota Drew Stafford- three years North Dakota Jonathan Toews-two years North Dakota Zack parise- two years North Dakota Brock Nelson- two years North Dakota Travis Zajac- two years North Dakota and this is just a quick glance at North Dakota alumni now playing in the NHL. Not one of them spent less then two seasons in the NCAA playing for the exact same team as boeser. Even Canucks alumni Dixon ward and Gary vaulk that played for North Dakota both spent more then two seasons in NCAA never mind one ,Dixon playing 4 and Gary 3) Are u saying if all the teams responsible for these players had rushed their development and sent them to the AHL after one year they would be better off ? I think I'll disagree and suggest those GM s , and our GM are a little more aware of the proper timeframe then u are. And judging by North Dakota alumni history , I'd say ur post is dead wrong
  14. I'm sure this vid was already posted , but Woooow what a shot. The way he shoots with confidence and perpose is hard to find. Crazy how nobody had really paid much attention to him ( except Benning of coarse). First thing I thought in the video in him On home page was how crazy calm he is. Has mental toughness And confidence written all over him. More and more exited about this kid
  15. Lol. More like a shirokov
  16. This is a VERY good third round pick. This is one of the d men I wanted. It is the only bright spot of the draft for me
  17. Lol. Now now deb. I realize emotions get flowin this time of the year , but Burr made a stupid play. It was stupid no matter how u look at it. It wasn't just "a collision". It was nowhere near a bure-churla, but it was a stupid play. Burr just made sure he got the best of it? Common. Really? I was way more pissed that burrows made that sloppy idiotic hit for no good reason then I was at the reff I can say that much. But hey, that's just me
  18. Oh my god people need to get a grip. Burrows ain't St.alexandre. The hit was retarded. Away from the play , and not worth the chance. Absolutly stupid
  19. He may be a more consiatant kassian. Maybe. My god the kid hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet. Lol
  20. Lol. Hahaha I don't get it. Ur bitching about 3 points in his first two games ? Haha. U are either slow or just trying to rub people the wrong way for fun
