  1. hahaha i saw that little mark when the game was on.
  2. but i thought he blew his shot after his last call up?
  3. i'll accept Bo walking defenders like toews did on orpik the other night. filthy outside inside on his way to the net.
  4. i'm guessing the top line has a big game, burr gets his first. he played 100x better against stl without the jaw shield on. 3-1 canucks. eddie "no longer the backup" lack stands tall and CDC has a collective aneurysm. and then immediately forgets this round of goalie controversy when lu starts the heritage classic.
  5. •As pointed out by Tyson Giuriato): Hutton is 6' 3" and weighs 200 lbs. People forget this. •Hutton has now tied his school's record for goals in a season by a defensemen. This was also done by ex-Canuck defencemen Eric Weinrich who played at Maine and scored 12 goals in his Sophmore season. couple of snippets pulled from canucksarmy.com's weekly prospect report.
  6. the way i've seen it is that he isn't explosive. top speed is good, accelerates well but doesn't explode into it. at least we're not likely to see gaunce go face first into the boards trying to check a guy through the boards ala weise.
  7. 4 of 6 look to possess NHL qualities or skill. big justin auger was chosen before subban so its not as if we had a shot at him. can't damn our selection because big scary LA picked big scray justin auger. subban has legitimate ELITE skill on the backend. so much so that you take a chance on it. saying our 3rd round pick cole cassels wouldn't be a steal if he panned out to be a top 6 center just proves your arguing for argument sake. him reaching that potential would be a huge success. deep down you know that. leaving us with our first rounders. shinkaruk will be right on schedule barring complications to go pro next year. set back? certainly. i'd like to see your source that we knew he was severely hurt and if its true, knowing that, why would you at any point think he was a "sure fire one dimensional shifty winger". again, just seems like your complaining just for the sake of it. Bo Horvat is a complete hockey player. he will be a part of this team for years to come. could anyone make the same forecast with any assurance about nichshkin at the draft? i don't think so. considering we traded away schneider for that pick, it was imperative to get more of a sure thing. it'd be nice if nichushkin was scoring some goals for us now, but whats the point of thinking about that? think about everything Bo will contribute when he makes it. i'll leave you to take shots at 6th and 7th rounders. do i anticipate huge things from them? No. i'll still support their developement though rather than trying to validate some stupid argument. not that you like facts or reason but the scouting and drafting department was completely overhauled before last draft. and its pretty much consensus, the 2013 draft was succesful and will provide NHLers to this team down the road. i know drafts in the past haven't gone well, i know this because i agree with the consunsus on that as well. you need to realize this organization has put together a scouting a drafting philosophy that is a massive improvement over the last. drafting results aren't instant, which you know, just quit stressing yourself out over whats done, realize the quality we drafted last year, and look forward to the future.
  8. broken record. the drafting did improve at the 2013 draft! we had a hell of a good draft it seems.
  9. ^^^ thats way too long to read but i just wanted to point out archie's 2 goals tonight. his physical play has milwaukee's guys chasing fights that archie has no reason to engage in (utica is up by 3 at the moment) you realize players are meant to develope in the AHL right? the one SIMPLE point you don't seem to get is that every player is different. it may take some guys a little longer, some guys don't need the AHL at all. one thing for certain about archibald is that he has yet to take a step back since going pro. noticable improvemnts each year so far. all of this hate your generating is because of 1 game! 1 game in his first taste of the NHL no less. I seem to remember you being amoungst the fans pumping his tires after some very physical games for Van. 1 game and a re-assignment later you've completely given up on our best checking line forward prospect. you sir, are way too impatient to follow prospects. this will most likely be my last reply to you because you just ignore everything people tell you. if he's not quite NHL ready this year that doesn't make him any less of a solid prospect for us.
  10. apparantly lu is the good luck goalie.. i can't remember a year or goalie allowing so many hattricks in one season.

    1. Heretic

      Heretic

      He didn't score 3 goals on Luongo. Last was an empty net.

    2. wshdrvvn

      yeah true. how about the canucks allowing so many hattricks then.

  11. very excited for tomorrow the 5th. Utica is in town to take on my hometown Iowa Wild and I will be in attendance! can't wait to see the farm up close n personal!!

      If you want to see a farm team you should go to a Canucks game.

  12. your like the dangler of the darren archibald talk thread. he played one game not up to your standards and now hes worse than weise? you are impressively off base on this one. archie hits plenty, and im willing to bet hes on the 4th line in Van next year.
  13. weise wasn't meant to last here. less than half the fans on CDC were able to spell his last name correctly.
  14. wow.. he just couldnt stop bad mouthing gaunce to save his account haha
  15. i'd only be comfortable giving our AHLers a shot. the time is right not to make knee herk decisions and derail the developement of our future core players.
  16. schroeds has to start at 3rd C i'd think. dalpe doesn't deserve to be moved after last night and schroeder doesn't have enough merit to his name to justify it at this point.
  17. Archibald received a one game suspension last night for being assessed an instigator penalty in the final 5minutes of the game. Per utica comets twitter.
  18. kellan lain leans down and says hi.
  19. now i remember why i dont post in CT. the heart of CDC ignorance.

  20. goodness sakes man.. how easily we forget how well he played against st. louis.
  21. indeed, behind only john gaudreau.
  22. gaunce is indeed eligible for the A next season. shinkaruk as well!
  23. very pretty goal. he needs out of junior. that just proves to me he isn't playing against guys on his level.
  24. need someone who's familiar with AHL live to comment on this.. if a few people pooled some money to pay for it; would all of us be able to watch games on the account at the same time? the price tag is a bit much but if it was split a few ways i think it'd be worth it.
