  1. I just noticed Robert Kron... was so disappointed when Burke left for Hartford and then took away Kron and we got Murray Craven in return. But actually Craven was a much better fit for the team. I think we also got Scott Walker as a draft pick from that trade but not sure. Looking back at it now i wonder why Burkie traded for him because he didn't have any "truculence" lmao.
  2. Actually he talked about it last year that he would need to adjust when he comes over.
  3. I thought at the time after Burke came in as GM and Crawford was hired that we would be back in the finals in a couple years...
  4. Someone should phone Try and tell him what an Indian leg wrestle is so he can practice up...
  5. Lol i hear you! The kid is so young with a lot of talent, it's going to happen it just takes time. He could well be down in Utica next year too but as long as he makes progress that's all i care about.
  6. I think a lot of people forget how highly ranked he was earlier in life. His upside is huge considering what we gave up for him..
  7. With Derek it was his skating, his fitness hasn't been an issue since the first year of him joining the Penguins. With Hutton, he was out of shape.
  8. There's nothing to see, i can't remember any rookie ever being mentioned as Selke candidate.
  9. I agree he's made a steady progression from last year. Mistakes at his position are not nearly as bad as previously seen last year.
  10. A couple months ago i was talking with my employee... i said Elias might get to 50 points, buddy says "no way he is easily getting way more points than that, do you want to bet?" i told him to save his money and learn from a hockey player like myself!! lol... then he said i will bet you 100 bucks, so i took him up on it with full intention of giving it back to him when i won Lmao! good times.
  11. It's pretty hard to compare the two as they play two different games. Pavel was so fast and quick compared to everyone else of that era that he literally was exciting every shift where he had an opportunity or an opening... breakaways were a common occurrence! He had a great shot and great moves in tight he was able to stick handle around players at ease at times. But he needed people to get him the puck. Elias is so smart at all aspects of the game and can score and setup guys equally. Defence is already a part of Elias' game where it was never a big part of Bure's.
  12. ?? You take things way out of context. I wouldn't consider 30 points a breakout, it is steady development from the previous year.
  13. Is that the mark to achieve a 'breakout' year?
  14. Nah they'll be back in B.C. for the best weed shopping
  15. So is it safe to say that GB has been one of Utica's best dman so far? Or are all the Juolevi fan club captains gonna raising hell soon... lol
  16. I just seen the last half of third period and the hit he laid on Letang, any other beauties like that tonight?
  17. Loved the hard hit on Letang near the end of the third. Finishing checks hard is one thing that has been missing. Good to see him have a great game.
  18. Maybe in an airport... those places are confusing!
  19. I thought he played a good game as well... until the Petterson incident then he should have charged in there and punched the Florida player in the mouth.
  20. Same here! I come from the era of no internet and no researching draft picks...You turn on sports page at 11:00 and find out who the team picked!
  21. Banning doesn't do contracts... Weisbrod and Chris Gear do them.
