  1. ...everyone here is an expert in there own mind...or out of it.... WL is similar in playing style to both Hansen and Burrows...he has Hansen's speed and tenacity and Burrow's attitude and tenacity.... The difference is WL can also hit the net from further than 20 feet out...which is the other two's downfall....so...with 10 more Lbs. and a years growth all around, I think he pushes for a spot in camp next year but probably falls just short and is our "Goldy" in the minors next year.....
  2. ...Show me one full game where Edler hasn't bobbled the puck....it can't be done...even Bobby Orr bobbled the puck most every game. Oli and EP where dominant with the puck and should have had the puck at least twice as much as they did...next game I expect both to get the puck more. EP only made good plays with puck....Nylander only made one or two good plays with the puck and lost it the rest of the tme...Oli only made good plays with puck except for one bobble.... Just watch people...just watch.....
  3. Ferraro is mouth without a brain behind it....
  4. This is the EP thread...I will not be discussing Rodin here anymore.... The kids will prevail....if we let them....
  5. Joulevi was the best Fin., it was almost like with EP....Oli was able to dictate the play when he had the puck and break up plays when he didn't and like Elias he should have had the puck more... Also at least 3 out of our 4 prospects in the tourney where on the ice in the final minute of the game...Oli, EP, Gadjovich and maybe Lockwood as well....that just shows who the coach thinks had the best game....
  6. Nylander did seem to be a drag on EP's game....like other's have said "the puck died" on WN's stick way too much.... I think once EP settles in, he will shoot a bit more....he needs Boeser on the left wall feeding him cross ice dishes...and vica-verca...I can't wait for that....
  7. EP plays the right sidewall on the Swede PP...it is more of 1-3-1 PP with a single point man...but of course he roams up and down the side wall....
  8. EP has looked "Dominant" to me...although due to the feed I missed quite a bit ...but everytime he has the puck he is dominant with it and makes the right play.... One play EP spotted a guy about to steal the puck...he skated from his right side spot on the offense all the way to the left side boards...arriving just after the guy stole the puck from a Swede and EP stole the puck back and made a niffty play to keep in the zone...a dominant play.
  9. ...I have said just about all I want to say on Rodin but if anybody thinks Gagme outplayed Rodin....they are nuts....JB signed Gagme for 3 years...he had to play him so he tossede the dice on Rodin and sent him down and Cull played his guys and left the him on the bench due the veteran rule ...give me a break..... ...if that is delusional...then I also must have been delusional argueing with people about how good Horvat was going to be or Boeser or Stecher (who has way more up his sleeve)... ....just watch Rodin come back to bite our collective asses...that is illusional....
  10. I did not mean that we tanked when I said "tank nation should be happy"....just that we had the same affect as tank nation would have liked ...I hope that wasn't the start of all that, I don't read all these pages I just pop in now and again to get whatever is on my mind ...off it... Tryamkin would not last one season of full time duty on the Canucks...the umpteenth time the same Ref. makes the same bad call...he is going to lose it.....what's the going suspension for hospitalizing an official....?........
  11. Well maybe I have been a bit more grumpy than usual...I will see what I can do for New Year's resolutions....I tend to agree with most of your posts as well...but you must know I do tend to call them as I see them...not what the popular opinion might be...so anyway...I will try to find gentler ways to express those opinons.... ....Have one on me.....
  12. I still think it was political...he was healthy enough to make the team ....he scored more points in the pre season than a lot of player's that made it...he was stealing pucks and making great passes....he should have made the team at that point....then he was sent to the AHL and not recalled in favour of Chaput...that was just stupid... Rodin was then healthy enough to play (without looking it up) 6 or 7 games in Europe...getting a PPG before having his leg broken....he deserved to have his leg broken in the NHL at the very least.....that is my final word on it...time to buy the hatchet.... EP is better already and will be be better than Rodin...no doubt...but do not be surprised to see Rodin biting our asses in the future....
  13. Rodin never got a fair shake....period.... EP is a totally different player with more skill and that "magic hands" factor...I have no doubt BB and EP are out next Sedins and will produce at the same sort of rate even in a time period that see much less scoring than 15 years ago.....Franchise Players....
  14. Boqvist is a Defenseman ? Unless there is another one...he would make a great winger though....
  15. Ya, I hope the other teams didn't pick up on that comment...never the less it does show how much he wants to be a full on Superstar....with that attitude and his natural talent they sky is hardly the limit.
  16. ....could you repeat that for the third time...not sure everyone has got it yet.....
  17. I tend to believe it was more political...JB brought in Gagner, Vanek and Burmistrov and wanted to bury Rodin until needed to play those guys....granted Vanek is scoring goals but both he and Gagner are still taking bad penalties, getting beat on D. and in Gagme's case ...loosing the puck consistantly....don't know why anyone passes the puck to him unless he is in front of the net. Dahlen and the rest of the kids are going to make Rodin and Vanek and Gagner and Burmistrov all redundant as soon as next year ...so I will get over it....by then...
  18. Rodin outplayed Gagner, Burmistrov, Virtanen, Vanek and certainly Chaput and Boucher ( who got called up instead of him)....Rodin will prove to be better than all those guys. Forsling was thrown away and Clendening did nothing for us. Tryamkin had to deal with WD telling to fight, etc.,...Benning should have put a stop to that before it even started. I like Benning ...I think he is building a great team here ....but those were mistakes and the Rodin one is biting us in the butt right now...having to play Boucher or Burmistrov in place of Rodin is painful...
  19. ;....Esposito was my first thought on Gadjovich....I mentioned it a few pages ago in this thread....or are you taunting me....? Stone isn't far off Espisito either but Espo wasn't known for his D.,....
  20. That are the lines I have in mind as well...but Lind and Gadjovich will need another year in Utica ...EP and Gaudette should make the team out of camp.
  21. Ottawa's Mark Stone...that would be my closest projection.
  22. ....You've noticed something wrong with the reffing we get....? Our Ref's are constantly trying to be noticed by not dropping the puck until they kick someone out...or blowing done an offside against us just "to be on the safe side" of having too have a review... Those guys deserve to be noticed but so do the ones that go unnoticed by not blowing the whistle when someone dumps a Sedin or crashes the goalie... Tank Nation...and really all of us should be thankful for effin reffin' ....it got us EP and if it get's us Dahlin this year...the Reffing will be powerless against all that talent and tell U Bett man to Ref off..... pardon my Anguish....I mean English....
  23. We Shall Not Suck... Play the kids....Oli will be close enough by next year to get him in ...the kids will win with no suckage...
  24. ...just because I'm paranoid does not mean someone isn't out to get us...or everyone who isn't a Canuck is got to be out to get us...anyway I hope they stay the course and don't sell the horses...
