  1. The most encouraging thing was that back check he made in the last game. His defensive game and awareness seems much improved. Along with his cardio. We could have a 2 way gem on our hands. I always thought he was a Krieder clone.
  2. You should perform at Yuk yuks. The seniors division.
  3. No matter what Benning does or has done in his career, he can always say he's the one who took Boeser 23rd overall. Absolute steal.
  4. Sweet back checks and a nice goal. Jake is playing hard and wants big league money lol
  5. The most noticeable change is his conditioning. He finally has NHL conditioning and can last an entire shift using his great size and speed. Probably helps his thinking out there as well. When I'm tired I have a harder time thinking.
  6. Be concerned all you want but reality is he's only 19 and can easily still develop into a top NHL defender. He needs another year to develop it's not the end of the world. We suck anyways, by the time we are decent he should be making an impact. In hindsight we maybe should have taken Tkatchuk or Keller but we have Virtanen and Petterson to fill those roles.
  7. The Sedins used to fall down a ton and now they are future HOF'ers
  8. I'm not surprised at all that Jakes putting it all together. He was raw when he was drafted, but had all the tools. It's nice not to see the names Nylander and Ehlers in here for once.... oops
  9. Anyone freaking about Juolevi needs to chill. He's a 19 year old Dman.....
  10. When we drafted him I was worried but when I was 18 I weighed 170 pounds... now I'm 210 of mostly muscle and I don't have the best trainers in the world on my ass making sure my diets good. He will be fine but I think he's gonna be a few more years till he's an impact guy in the bigs.
  11. I'd almost be more interested in them then the big club.
  12. I agree on Virtanen. Should get tons of ice and PP time in Utica. Tell the kid he's first call up if he plays well and injuries hit ala Stetcher. Boeser should start on the Canucks. His speed needs work and he has to get a bit stronger, but we need his shot and IQ on the big club. Goldobin has tons of skill but not enough grit and drive in my opinion. Send him to Utica until he gets hot then bring him up. Juolevi should stay on London another year. It's a great development program.
  13. Yeah he's probably realizing the fallout he's about to receive, if Jake does well.
  14. Nice to see all our 2017 picks progressing nicely, even though it's early.
  15. I'm a Virtanen supporter but I don't know about that...
  16. So you don't think Boesers skating is good enough at the NHL level yet? Not putting words in your mouth, just wondering why you think he won't make the team opening night.
  17. Yeah I don't know Jake well, but I do know he's trained harder this summer then he ever has. Looks like the boy is turning into a man. Last year was a reality check, he wants NHL money and exposure.
  18. I don't know why Boeser making the team is even a discussion. Unless he gets injured early, he will be on the team.
  19. I feel like we say this about every prospect we have.
  20. *Possible spoilers* In the season 7 trailer it shows Jon Snow cutting down a wight and staring down at a bunch of white walkers. Looks like Jon and company are going on a mission? To assinate the knight king perhaps? Probably also the scene where Berric Dondarrion lights up his sword as well. So Jon, the hound, the brotherhood without banners vs the undead. Should be Epic.
  21. Possible spoilers*prediction* Im thinking Jon is azor ahai and Danny is Nessa nessa. If you know this theory you know what that means.....
