  1. someone pm me a link to watch the fight

  2. I think he will be a beast physically and speed wise, but I'm worried his offensive game won't translate. He's kind of a one trick pony, skates as fast as he can then tries a wrap around. His accuracy is a lot worse this year, so hopefully it's because of his surgery and he gets it back by next season.
  3. The kid's played for like 3 or 4 different teams now in the last few months and got thrown into some playoff games where most of our forwards weren't even playing well. He did pretty decent imo considering.
  4. Sucks, Vrbata couldn't get anything going with Bonino and Higgins, going to be hard for Baertschi to. Hope the lines are different and he's on the pp.
  5. Don't know why Benning gave Dorsett those contracts before the playoffs. They're supposed to be our tough guys and are both playing soft as hell.

      Doubt that has to do with the contracts

      Sbisa signing doesn't sit well with me at all. Aquilinis involved?

      I dont mind the Dorsett contract but the Sbisa contract is a little much as far as I am concerned.

  6. Imagine Oilers miss playoffs by 1 point next season and win lottery again.

  7. History seems to repeat itself... kinda... Pitts gets Lemieux, Crosby. Edm gets Gretzky, McDavid...

      ya; that works if you ignore all the shat in between. Although I guess they weren't "generational players"

      Gretzky wasn't drafted tho

  8. We play so much of a perimeter game compareed to every other playoff team I've seen so far

      They talked after practice today about getting more pucks and traffic to the net.

      They better f***ing back it up.

      Too much ticky-tack crap. Not enough speed, strength and determination. This has been the problem with the Canucks for quite a few years now.

  9. The Blues could have Gretzky and they'd still suck

  10. No #NHL team has ever lost eight straight home playoff games. #Canucks have lost seven. #mustwinFriday

      I agree RK! Whats the playoffs if you know your already going to win?

      I predicted we'd win in 7 games after falling down 3-0. So far we're one loss in.

  11. I know, it's a little irritating. Sven looks more than ready, especially against his former team.
  12. Yeah look at Bennett, best player for the Flames so far. Baertschi better get called up and replace Matthias or rotate in for someone.
  13. He looked really good last game. Would love to see him with Vrbata.
  14. Meh, his assessment was pretty spot on. Even WD said "He's really skilled, boy he's skilled." and that he'll be a top 6 player after only seeing him "2 games" and some practices. I've never really seen WD say that about Vey.
  15. Sorry but Benning is terrible at contracts

      If a player agent comes out and says negotiations were easy, that's typically not a good sign.

      Wow. I didn't even take into account Heretics point with my initial impressions. I just assumed they had them. GMMG effect...

  16. Sedin's should be rested next game and we should give the younger guys bigger roles to up their confidence for the playoffs. Baertschi-Bonino-Vrbata Kenins-Horvat-Hansen Higgins-Vey-Burrows Mcmillan-Matthias-Dorsett That first line will show us what Baertschi can really do, also gives Mcmillan a game in case he's needed for the playoffs.
  17. Playing him against LA is a good way to ruin his confidence. Most of our players look like crap against them, not a good idea to play a smallish rookie against them, especially at this time of the year. Hopefully he plays the next 2 games though.
  18. If we play the Flames in the first round it's going to be fun to watch him.
  19. He's not very good at making plays. Every time he tries, he turns it over. Was sorta the same thing in the world jrs. I see why people don't like his hockey iq. Seems like he's got all the tools but no toolbox right now, hopefully he can put it together.
  20. His speed and shot is far superior to Torres. Torres was actually a pretty good player at the start of his career, scored 27 goals in his 2nd season.
  21. https://gfycat.com/GentleImmaculateBlackrhino filthy hands
  22. Haha damn, that goal was so smooth though. I think he might get called up during the playoffs if we need him. He's almsost too good for the AHL right now.
  23. Sick goal. But man does that goalie ever suck, even on Hutton's goal.
  24. Nice shot, but that goalie played that pretty bad. What a good night, Baertschi, Shink and Hutton all with goals.
