  1. I can't wait for him to be on the Canucks full time. His abilities are obvious but what i like best about him is how he's carried himself like a pro since his draft day. very mature kid; has the right mindset to succeed.
  2. I think Brock will be a shoo-in for the WJC team. The U-18 team has very good top end guys but I think this years USA team will have more NCAA and CHL players than usual.
  3. He'll probably hover around the PPG mark this year, setting him up for bigger things next season. we should just be happy that he's in NA where we can actually follow his season at all.
  4. hopefully he can get into the game tonight and several more before he has to be sent back. finding his scoring touch again would be nice
  5. and as always keep in mind... there is something to be negaative about here.
  6. Good point. a lot less ifs on the first line you mentioned.. IF hodgson can improve his skating, IF Rodin can play more physical, IF Jensen can score consistently. Only ifs for the new guys is if they can keep up their play!
  7. you know what i like to do with advanced stats? be encouraged by them when they support our guys; and completely ignore them when they don't.
  8. Awesome! pulling for him big time!
  9. I remember that draft. Jenner seemed the best choice. Rakell and Jurco were options. I don't remember too many people talking about Saad at the time. Or Jensen, for that matter.
  10. http://theqmjhl.ca/qmjhl-roundup-zhukenov-leads-sagueneens-in-2-1-win-over-drakkar/ not a lot of substance here but he made the main page. little highlight video of the game, second goal of the video, game winner.
  11. I didn't forget about Datsyuk. But when I'm talking about midwestern fans; Detroit is a 9 hour drive compared to just under 4 to St. Paul. The Wild tend to be more popular in my area than Detroit.
  12. Most kids that played hockey in the midwest from 2000-09 look up to Gaborik in a big big way. I think NHL fans tend to forget how good Gaborik was with the Wild. In that time, there really wasn't a better player to watch in this part of the country.
  13. as well as expressing interest in signing with Vancouver. Just keeping his options open. It would be a bad move on his part to say he wouldn't re-sign with the team he's currently playing for.
  14. They add NCAA players a lot, easier for the coaches to keep an eye on those guys compared to CHLers.
  15. would be great to get him and rodin on the Utica roster to finish the season. would be really nice to have a look at both of them with the Comets.
  16. Benning will get the memo I'm quite sure of it.
  17. I'm hoping he can earn an AHL deal. I was happy to see him go off the NHL contract books but I've always liked him on the AHL team.
  18. celebartion got a little nutty haha at least their enthusiastic. Seems like Sautner is kind of the "forgotten prospect" this year. I would have thought McEneny was going to be the guy to stick with Utica this year other than Subban. Interested to see follow the rest of his first pro season. He's relatively unknown to us given how new he is to the prospect pool.
  19. This is the way I see it. Plus, he's in the NCAA where the Canadian fans aren't as exposed to updates regularly. That's not meant to be a dig against the fanbase; it's just something I've noticed over the years following the Canucks prospects.
  20. They should do a rookie defenseman and rookie forward award. It's unfortunate Hutton's rookie year is the same as McDavid and Eichel.
  21. He's the only guy on the defense that's made Sbisa look better. Against LA, they moved the puck well and Sbisa was playing a pretty good physical game. There will be struggles for them along the way but that pairing (surprisingly!) works.
  22. Wow, 8 shots on goal against Maine. UND is ranked #1 in the nation; only two games played but it goes to show they are going to be a very strong team this year.
  23. you could also say faster feet. its semantics.
