If Karlsson is the poster boy for comeback king D-men this year, Ristolainen is a solid runner-up candidate. Something changed in him under Torts. He turned into a very solid two-way player who plays good defence. I never thought I'd say that about someone like him, especially after such an abysmal start in Philly. Which brings me to my point - I'm not sure if Philly wants to trade him away. I think Ristolainen is still a bit overpaid but he's providing good value to that Flyers blueline. He's one of the good stories to come out of what has been a tough rebuilding season.

Damn the hockey gods.
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw replied to Wise Guy's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Ah, Hirano. He played for Abby this year but I think he got sent down to the ECHL. If a scrub can do that in a game, imagine how weak the opposition must be. The only good Serb hockey players I can think of are Canadian. Lucic? I also saw that Yutaka Fukufuji is STILL playing for the national team. That guy must be ancient by now. -
I think enough people here (including myself) have brought forth conclusive arguments as to why your extreme perspective on defenceman is simply wrong. And the more any of us got into it, the simpler your responses got. Just like how you're pivoting now. You don't need to watch Singh and DeBrusk. You don't even need to watch this series.

There's this thing called the internet if you want a different broadcast. I used it to watch an ESPN feed because CBC hates my computer. I just pick whatever stream lags the least. Sometimes it's ESPN, sometimes it's the Sportsnet feed. I don't let it get to me because I'm just trying to watch hockey. You care because you're an unintelligent hater who has no good reason to watch this series other than to just complain complain complain

I think your points have some merit, but I think the primary reason is that Aquilini doesn't care enough and/or is too cheap to do anything about it. Our owner doesn't rely on taxpayers for anything... because he hasn't done anything to improve the team infrastructure. A team-owned multipurpose complex (let's just say 4 rinks) would be a huge boon for the community, who could always use more ice rinks. San Jose (a very well-run franchise) owns 10 of them across the city and has really helped grow the sport as well as team interest among kids there. Having a community-oriented facility would also be a much easier pill for taxpayers to swallow. That's the one counterargument - Aquilini has the money but is obviously way too cheap to build anything without public assistance. Beyond that, I think the off-ice amenities are just as useful for the Canucks' on-ice success. Video rooms, equipment rooms, meeting rooms, gym stuff, recovery stuff, kitchen... why do other teams get to have that while we don't? Because it's not necessary? That's not convincing enough for me.

Low effort post. Hire him for what?
