Girls, beach. That's what does it for me, I live in the Okanagan so it's beach weather everyday haha.
32 degrees today already and supposed to be around 30 all week.
Yeah man got huge ones at the front of my shoulders/biceps once my biceps started growing pretty big. Everyone was asking if I was on juice lol, wasn't though.
I tried bio-oil didn't really work, sitting in the sun helps a lot though. Mine used to be like dark purple in some areas and now they're mostly white but still noticeable...
Hodgson has more even strength points then any Canuck and Grabner and Hodgson have more goals then any canuck... lol.....
You know what the Sedins are doing? Helping our team LOSE games.
He could also switch to wing, I think it would look kind of bad if Gillis trades him. 3 first round picks gone since he's been here and all of them are in the NHL...
Grabner
Hodgson
Schroeder if he trades him.
Even before he signed I knew he'd be half the player here, Gillis overrates people too much. Especially after one good offensive season...
Pros
-hard shot
-solid defensively
Cons
-slow (probably slowest on team)
-bad passer
-terrible accuracy
It's almost halfway through the season now.
He seems more like a 3.5 mill defenseman instead of a 5 million dollar one like I knew when he was signed.
Alberts in his first game looked better then Garrison has all year imo.
I agree, just because he can shoot hard doesn't mean he should be making that kind of money. His passing and skating look pretty weak also. If he wasn't good at defending then what would he be good at...?
Gillis ain't the greatest when it comes to contracts. Luongo, Bieksa, Garrison, Sturm, Sundin etc.
Imagine if Sundin took the 2 years, we would be fracked.
I sure hope he proves me wrong, I don't think he's bad but I don't think he will ever be as good here as he was in Florida.
I would rather have gotten a defense man who can play the right side or can at least help with our transition game... since that's clearly what we need.
Just doesn't really make sense to me to have Hamhuis,Edler,Ballard and Garrison who play the left side and all suck on the right............
Yeah hopefully Connauton can make the jump soon, I feel like he will help lots in that regard.
Edit: I know he doesn't look that good this year but I think it has to do with coaching because everyone on the Wolves looks like they've took a step back.
I think he will do well up here just like JS even though he didn't look that great in the AHL either.
Remember Bieksa's first season? He was an absolute beast, fought all the time and hit everything in sight. It seems like he's too entitled or something now. He should be a healthy scratch for a game or two.
Ballard is our only defense man who plays physically consistently and that's pretty sad when he's always stuck on the 3rd line and never gets promoted for good play.
I knew Garrison wasn't going to play close to as good as he did in Florida, he had a flukey year offensively and had Campbell setting him up all day long.
How do you score 16 goals and then next season not even be able to hit the net at all? It's not the system, that has nothing to do with someones accuracy and it's been more then enough games where he should be comfortable enough to atleast get a damn shot on net. Even just his slap shots miss the net.
There's no pressure in Florida and they play a way different system compared to here which is why the players always play worse here imo.
I'm sick of Gillis getting project players or players who have to take a whole season just to learn our system when it sucks anyways..................
Why are we paying 5 mill to a shutdown defense man who isn't even that good at shutting people down and can't even play on our top pairing let alone the top 4 right now.
Bieksa and Garrison make too much money for the level of play they bring......... sorry to tell ya'll.
Garrison is #4 on a good team imo, should not be paid 5 mil...........
That is my rant for the day.
We draft to late to pick a player good enough to step into the NHL right away and our team is pretty deep so they're better off developing first anyways.
Does the media just spend their time on CDC and then write articles based off info from here? How else would they know so many people are hating on Garrison and so on.
I hope he starts being a little bit more physical, he's been taking the worst of the hits so far. Once he gets a steady d- partner though I'm sure he will.
