  1. "And no one would be surprised if Binnington won the Calder Trophy...." I'd be very surprised if Binnington won... Incensed actually.
  2. Makes some poor decisions. Inconsistent defensively. Has a problem with getting caught pinching. He's big & skates well, moves the puck well. But he's got things to iron out in order to be a good top 4. We already have a gambler with Quinn who's alot better. Not the right pick for us IMO. There'll be a good forward option.
  3. I remember when we played STL in Dec/Jan when Petey had 5 points, they looked brutal. Night & day different. And Im glad CBJ ended up getting their **** together. Loved that Keklanien went all in, that franchise/fanbase deserves some success,
  4. The NHL's pathetic. They come out & double down on the stupidity with the Van Massenhoven statement. Now its an apology to the NHL's golden child. While they've had no problem screwing other fanbases for years. B**** move throwing the refs under the bus after all of it too
  5. Makes 0 sense to for us to take Harley. Nevermind that hes not bpa. This is why I take Button with a grain of salt.
  6. The odds were stacked so heavily against me. Yet still i pulled out the most improbable of outcomes! Lmao. Thats awesome
  7. He's got great acceleration too. i'm watching the Canada/Czech game right now, and I could see a choppy stride argument. But he can get going really quickly with his first few steps. And his edgework is great as you say. I'm really liking Newhook alot. He can see plays developing before they happen, he's got great hands, a good shot, and he can make plays on the defensive end too. Krebs is more industrious, & maybe he'll be a better C in the NHL. But Newhook's a bit bigger & he's more dynamic. I have them neck & neck right now, tough time deciding which elements I like more. Krebs has grown on me aswell.
  8. He was right on Virtanen. But he's had some odd rankings, and odd rational for dropping or raising guys from month to month over the years. As for Virtanen, I've pretty much given up on him being a top 6 PWF. Its just not his game. He could score 20 & be a 2nd line scorer, but I think on a great team he's kind of a middle 6 tweener type.
  9. Interesting that Craig said Newhook isn't a great skater. Maybe he means his stride is awkward or something. Going to have to watch that closely. I've thought his edgework is superb & his speed is better than some of the other high profile FWDs on team Canada. Sometimes Craig has puzzling takes. That stuck out as one to me, but I'm gunna focus on it in the remaining u18 games.
  10. Slavin & Pesce were incredible in this game going up against the Caps big boys. Carolina / NYI CBJ / Boston SJ / Colorado STL / Dallas My guess is the winner comes from the West, but I'm 0/8 in the first round so I know nothing.
