  1. I'm so proud of Sven for taking this like a champ and working hard in the AHL. He has 8 points in 4 games. He's way too good for the AHL.

    Hoping that McCarron gets a severe suspension. Ridiculous that there was no penalty.
  3. But what we saw last year was all with Green too. Do you think Green's coaching style has changed in the past year?
  4. 4-2 Rangers Under I'd be amazed if we can win the second half of a morning back-to-back on the east coast.
  5. I think he'd be in tough to make our top six right now. On top of that, I don't believe he'll arrive this year at all and if so, at the end of the KHL season, not mid-season. I expect that if we do see him, it'll be next year or the year after that. I don't think this is an issue we'll have to deal with anytime soon.
  6. 6 points in 6 games suggests he already looks good on PP1.
  7. A lot of money and risky, but he's already a borderline 1st line guy and I think he'll continue to improve.
  8. Game prediction: Canucks 4 - Devils 2 Over/under on 5.5 goals total, both teams: Over Which player scores first, both teams: Hall Stanley Cup Champion: Tampa Bay Lightning
  9. I like how we get ceiling shots whenever they interview Myers.
  10. Just comparing the two of Pearson and McCann, I'd say McCann might be more valuable based on about equal levels of offense and being significantly younger, but that said, I'd still do the deal in the end since McCann obviously wasn't fitting here. It's also worth noting that I feel like Pearson could take on an internal leadership role as his time in Vancouver rolls on. I don't expect he'll ever wear a letter (given our rising young stars), but as he gets older and becomes a veteran, I can see him being a Sutter-type player for this team in terms of leadership.
  11. It's on a case-by-case basis I'd say. Sometimes, it's worth just chillin' out and taking the PP, but if a guy seriously crossed the line (a la Matheson), I'd say it's worth negating a PP to send a message. In that particular case, with Stecher, it worked out perfectly, as the ref was gracious to us and simply added 2 mins to both Stecher and Erne's penalties, which meant we still came out on top, but that of course won't always happen and sometimes power plays can be negated. It's not a hard science IMO and should be evaluated by players based on the circumstances.
  12. Only one player in the entire NHL had more than 4 hits per game last year (Matt Martin at 4.1). Only 14 had 3 hits or more. Motte led our team last year with 2.7 hits per game. I think you need to re-evaluate your expectations, because 4-6 hits per game is very unrealistic over a sustained period of time.
  13. Exactly. "We'll get 'em on the PP" works if you have a PP that can actually score. We didn't. Our PP was the problem, not our response.
  14. It'd be neat if Bo was already really good friends with said player as well. Hmmmm.....
  15. Ehrhoff was a pretty different player from Myers IMO. Ehrhoff was more elite offensively and probably a fair bit better overall. I would be stunned if Myers hit 45-50 points this year. I still feel like Myers has been very good so far though.
  16. It's kind of odd, because the team is doing really well, but yeah, Bo's not producing much. That said, when I'm watching him, he doesn't seem to really be off his game. I imagine it's just a case of the bounces not going his way.
  17. What a fun game! This team is so fun to watch. 3-0 with Bo as captain and 3-0 at home!
  18. Tyler's good, but he's got a long way to go to reach the levels of Uncle Todd.
  19. Tanev is so much of a joy to watch. Feels like he does everything right.
  20. Schaller and Bertuzzi both on the ice. Hmm....
