  1. Just saw Tchapuke's kick at the back of the leg of Scheffle (sp.) ...it was totally on purpose ...there is no way that is a natural motion... I am so glad we didn't end up with such a low life puke on our team...he should be turfed from playing for the rest of the year for that one....!!!
  2. OJ's outlet pass is first class, his skating is good...better than anyone we have now on D not named Quinn...his shot is hard and accurate... They are almost the same age so we will see how it shakes out....but i wouldn't be dissing Oli just yet....his mobility is only going to get better now that his hip is finally healed and that was his only real problem...at least that is what kept him from addressing any of his defensive issues. I think they will both take a spot by TDL next year ....
  3. Ya....sure....but.... They were playing the Senator's....so karmaclly speaking...it was a wash....
  4. The announcer's last night even referred to Horvat's line playing the Jets first line as "best on best"...but we have 2 "best" lines and our 3rd line is going to be scoring some goals as well. We just need to shake off the curse of the "Millionaires" ....calling the first hockey team in Vancouver that name might be the reason for 50 years of bad luck.... If it had been the Ditchdiggers we would have won the cup by now...!!!
  5. There.... That should be a whole series of bad luck parsed off our backs... The pucks will be going in once we get to play Minny....!!! Both BB and EP must be still shaking there heads....
  6. We may be in trouble.... For the first time in almost a decade ...the pundits are all picking us to win the series with the Wild....! I still think we can do it though...and if we do...i predict that the Wild will win the draft lottery.... If we lose we win the Lafreniere sweepstakes...!
  7. Super stoked to see how Ferland is going to do ...as well as hoping they give Big Mac and Juolevi some playing time...as they should, just to see what we have in both. Would love to see Ferly or Mac lay out Laine.... Let the games begin...!!!
  8. Whatever his category was when we signed him....the point is that many saw it as a waste of a contract...I could see the fire in his game and the lack of fire in anyone's game that was on the roster at the time we got him....so I knew he had a good shot to become something. I don't like playing word games with people...not even you Sid.... ....I should qualify my lack of humour this morning though...I just had a run in with a Nazi racist idiot and my blood is still boiling...
  9. I knew we signed him as a fee agent...I was just shortening the post.... The point is MacEwen has more hockey sense, more common sense and less shotgun nonsense...I have him ahead of Jake in most categories but most importantly... Maturity and Will.... Both way more important than the difference in skill...which is also negligible....so ya...give me Big Mac all day everyday...
  10. I have to take issue with MacEwen's ceiling....when we drafted him ...some said his ceiling was the AHL ...at best....I knew better and had him at a ceiling of bottom 6... Zack has shown great hands in close and the willingness to get to the front of the net and stay there...he has almost the same speed as Jake and is feistier overall. I think Zack's ceiling will be well over 20 goals and with less headaches' over extra curricular activity than Jake. If Jake ever grows up....he can be a top 6...I haven't seen much interest from him in actually growing up though....so for now anyway Zack has more upside just due to that alone...
  11. This the first time in years (MAYBE EVER )...that we have had so much depth that 3 bodafide NHL's might have to sit in the stands come opening night.... Personally if Big Mac keeps up the pace at camp i would put him in and if Sutter doesn't put out and make a difference ....Ferland will...and then there is a rejuvenated Luoi... Juolevi is finally healthy and able to push for a spot as well... We are going to surprise some people ...starting next week....!!!!
  12. Me too ...for the first underlined sentence.... Shotgunability ...for the second....
  13. When we win the cup and Erikson scores the winning goal...or scores 5 goals and 10 points ...due to the writing being on the wall if he doesn't (Utica)...and same for R & B ...both are playoff performers and with Big Mac and other's coming we won't be needing them... So they should each fetch a 2nd rounder if not a protected first ( how great would that be )...never mind having to throw in Gaudette or Mac....! ...We just need the cup first...
  14. Hughes had the puck to begin with we never seen what it would look like the other way around... Also no-one in the world is going to look good trying to check Hughes one on one...! 9 times out of 10 at least...!
  15. I meant your average CDC'r....there is at least 2 of us that think he has a shot...I put him down for the year after next just because I think Juolevi will make it this coming year. Ny preference would be...if the kids can play...let them play and trade someone instead of letting them walk like we will likely be doing with Tanev in order to sign Marky and Toffoli.... damn cap clawback and covidiosy....
  16. This...! The thing is that everyone is disappointed that Oli wasn't able to make the team this year as a 21 year old with injury issue's... Yet no one expects a 21 year old Rathbone to make the team.... It's all on the expectations people have...If Oli is healthy and able to move his hips better I think he could replace either of our 7-8 D. men next year and be much better by the end of the year (than Benn or Fanty) Rathbone the year after and then we have; Juolevi / Hughes Rathbone / Meyers Tryamkin / Stetcher Woo / Rafferty
  17. YAAAAH...We never doubted you would sign with next years Cup winner's...Welcome on board...!!!!
  18. August....2020... Just watch...!
  19. I thought Jake was MUCH better on the back-check this year, he is starting to get it...I do agree in previous years he needed work...I just think the whole D. scheme could be tightened up quite a bit with better coaching... The Wild seem to have that side of there game down...so we will get to see how it goes with us having a decent O. scheme and a great PP but the Wild having the D. scheme... If we can tighten up a bit we should sail past them...but if not it could be ugly...
  20. At barely 22 years of age....nothing is proven...including durabliity....as far as that goes ...you could say with better believability that Tanev has a proven "lack of durablility" and yet he had a healthy season. Tell me all about it when Oli is 25 and is still on the shelf...
  21. The 100% healthy tag....is what I have been waiting for...I hope it's true...we may finally see what Oli can become!
  22. Tryamkin, Rafferty and a healthy Joulevi might be enough...we really only need to replace Tanev if we don't sign him, Benn and Fantenberg... I think our D. could be better than they have shown with a better structure provided by a better coaching scheme than we have seen...hopefully they hire someone who can make that happen...Green is finally doing alright with the forwards but he doesn't seem to know how to coach the defensive schemes very well...
  23. Hogs has all the moves of a player I used to hate...still not fond of....P. Kane...as well as a few that Kane can't do.... Predictions; We will be playing for the cup next year and Hogs will join us for the run... We will win the cup with Hogs and Podz playing a big role in 2022.... The Donald will be seeking asylum in Putinlandia....by the end of 2021...
  24. Or the guy I wanted from the next draft...Kevin Bahl...both guys are coming on strong...
