  1. Yeah well I’m glad we got Gudbranson, he’s a beast when healthy.
  2. When this kid gains strength he will be a top 5 scorer.
  3. I would try Virtanen with Baer and Horvat. Virtanen needs more ice time. I like how he seems to get better as the season goes on. Unlike a lot of players who break down as the season progresses.
  4. Yeah Crosby has pushed himself into the top 5 players of all time me in my opinion.
  5. Can’t wait to watch this guy at WJC. We need this guy badly. Our D handles the puck like a live geanade.
  6. EP is already our best player. That’s both sad and encouraging at the same time. If he gets any kind of support and can stay healthy, the Calder is his to lose.
  7. Don’t sleep on Juolevi folks. He didn’t win a memorial cup and a junior gold in the same season for no reason. He might take awhile to get going after rehabbing his back, but by season end he will be a fixture on the big club. He’s added size to a lean frame and improved his skating last season. Going to be in the league for 15 years.
  8. What excites me most about EP is his shot. His wrist shot velocity and accuracy is elite. He and Boeser on the PP with those wrist shots with be a pleasure.
  9. I wouldn’t have been happy. I’d rather have Bouchard or Dobson then Boqvist.
  10. This guy is the main reason I’m excited for this upcoming season. I think 2020 will definitely be more exciting, but it will be interesting to see how long it takes EP to start dominating.
  11. He definitely reminds me of Housley. It’s nice to see we could have 3 Calder finalists in a row. If Hughes can tone down the defensive giveaways a bit, we could have the best defender in club history on our hands.
  12. I agree with everything you said except this isn’t an “EP40” pick as you call it. The Pettersson pick was very controversial, as this pick is universally loved. I was greedy and wanted Hughes to go pro this season but I think they made the right decision. He can be the guy on the PP and work on his defensive game there. Plus getting in quality gym time.
  13. He pushed Tryamkin up the grouse grind. He’s a beast.
  14. I don’t mind constructive criticism but they just talk out of their asses too often. Why is Kuzma asking Hughes about diarrhea??? When Joey Kenward is the best you have to offer...
  15. Our media are terrible. If I was a better public speaker I’d throw my hat in. Honestly couldn’t be any worse then Botchford, Patterson or Kuzma.
  16. Ok Apollo Jr. tone it down a tad. I’m a huge fan of Hughes already as well, but let’s keep it in the realm of sanity.
  17. Hughes is going to be OJs best friend lol Hughes loves the heat, and Juolevi can just play his game.
  18. I’m getting the vibe Hughes will make the team and be our top Defenceman by years end.
  19. After a few days to study Hughes game tapes and listen to his interviews, I love this pick even more. Hughes seems like a bright kid and his talent speaks for itself. He will be our best defensemen in a Few years. It’s nice when the team and the player are both happy about the situation. I hear the Canucks we’re trying to trade up to get him. He has the potential to be a star player for sure. Reminds me of Barrie.
  20. I’ve loved the Gadjovich pick since day 1. He’s going to be a beast on our 3rd line in 2 years.
  21. He reminded me of one of those old guys on the viagra commercials. He was pretty content.
