  1. For pure fights I doubt there'll everbe a another one like this, I believe they counted 74 blows made. MMasn Coxxe would scare a few wanna be''s in todays game
  2. To access your "My Account" they need to send you an access code for which you need a Cel phone. I don't have a Cel phone so although I've bought and paid for Season Tickets I can't access them. How can this be ???
  3. Well thankfully he did not prostrate himself on the ice like a beached whale, no names
  4. Just out of interest how many times have to you seen this kid play and do you follow the league he plays in closely. Thankfully the Canucks have scouts living over there who can follow closely the league and the players, daily. I accept there recommendation but there's a lot of ice between a 17-18 old and the NHL. The stats show only 65% of 1st round picks make it, 20% of second round picks and becomes less the further into the draft you go. It cost teams very little to simply monitor NCAA, CHL and EU players, so it's a low risk gamble and one worth taking. Rathbone was a good gamble keeping in mind that Brackett used to coach him during the summer months, so he had a close relationship with him
  5. There is a subtle difference between OJ and Gralnd. Juolevi is aware what was coming and chose his responce, Garland was unaware
  6. Others of course can distinguish between reality and cheerleading ( sheep) I'm guessing some like Lumme has a whole collection of Pom Poms
  7. Here's some thing we don't want to see again
  8. Just for the record which one was that
  9. What difference Pride is a good thing and is obvious with some and lacking in others, and remember the 2 points you get at the begining of the season is the same 2 pts at the end of the season
  10. Here's the bottom line it will be full season this year and evey time he crosses the border he has to go into 14 days lock down which negates a whole lot of games, You simply can't have players who are unable to play taking up a roster spot. As I understand he's a deeply religious man and that is the stumbling block. Your religion or your teams mates
  11. I seriously doubt if OJ has sufficient appeal to attrack other team if he's put on waivers, ask your self which GM is going say to himself that's just the guy I need and none of my own prospect cam match him ?
  12. No we're talking conditioning. Training camps are brief, not liked years ago where players used training camp to get into shape. Not now the NHLPA whittled it down to couple of days. Conditioning is a long term recovery, the other who didn't look to good was OJ if the reports are true
  13. I recall Benning talking about the need for a big/tall defence** for the Play-offs. Hopefully with skill to match but every year we see big D excel in the play-offs. I'm not a huge fan of JB but I think he's right about this, TB has a D primarily with D around the 6'3" mark ** This was discussed following the StL SC win
  14. I'd think Schenn has the edge over Keeper. I looked at hockey fight and he's certainly not reluctant but he's no Semenko
  15. The beauty of Murzyn was no one enjoyed playing against him, I recall Gretzky stating how much he hated playing against Murzyn and Cliff Ronning saying no one in the league liked to up against Murzyn, he alwasy got a piece ofhis oppoenent. And like Murzynm Diduck never missed a chnace to get in a guys face. Different day
  16. I was unaware of this complication Canucks camp battles: Can Hunt disrupt the Rathbone/Juolevi showdown? - Vancouver Is Awesome
  17. Good read re Hoglander What can Nils Höglander, tiny power forward, do for an encore? - Vancouver Is Awesome
  18. Ditto, a good revue of the trade. So much depends on how OEL plays this next season. It was a big gamble by Benning / Weisbrod IMO and we can all hope it works out ..... here's the BUT. If he fails to up his game he becomes Ericksson Mk2 & a drag on the Cap for the next 6 years. Lastely despite every thing else his last 2-3 years will not be highlight reel material ( 35-36)
  19. He's no late bloomer he was sensational playing in the WJC 2015, but regretfully this was a player when size did cost him. 2nd round pick by the Jets 2013
  20. I tend to think OEL will be difficult to move because of his contract, expensive and long. Personally I thought Arizona did well to make the trade with Vcr. I doubt they had other takers.
