  1. That goal is mezmerising...almost went into a trance watching it over and over.... Oli is going to be collecting a whole lot of assits off of this guy when they finally get together...maybe for our playoff run....
  2. That is almost the same goal he scores in all his highlights...one timer, just inside the post....PF may not be a lofty enough comparable the way EP is going....!!
  3. All I know is that there were way more player's scoring over a point a game...PF only played 708 games in the NHL due to his foot but he got 885 points which is 1.25 PPG
  4. ...not a herd... It was actually probably easier to score at a higher rate back then in the SHL....it sure was in the NHL and you don't need any nerdy math skills to figure that out....
  5. It's because he is scoring at rate and at an age that only PF and Kent Nillson have done (in the SHL). So we all think he will score at roughly the same rate as PF in the NHL...but ya totally different player's....
  6. EP is not really anything like PF though....I think EP has better hands and is a better passer but will never have the "bull on the ice" flavour that PF exuded...even if he does reach 200 LBs. I do think he will be as valuable a player when it is all said and done though...there is some real magic to him....
  7. That's what I saw from Gadjovich as well...but he had 2 rifled shots go off the goaltender one off the left shoulder and one on the upper right side...but like you say he would go into the corner and come out with the puck....time and again...that cannot be ignored and it wasn't...they played the $&!# out him in the 3rd period because the coach saw that as well..... never mind that he won the game for him with those screens....
  8. Oli with a goal and an assist in today's game....he might be ready next year as well....it is coming together fast now....next year we play the kids.
  9. I have watched for the same time period and I think the mentality has been mostly the opposite to "rushing in with the kids" ....mostly due to bad drafting ...but still the management has leaned on Sedins at the expense of finding youth they tried to find "old" veterans to play with Sedins ... I have never seen a time with the quality of prospects that we have now...if there ever was a time to get away from the "play the veterans til they fall" mentality it is next year. Things are different here than they ever have been before...ever....it is a new paradigm and we will all be rejoicing and embracing it for what it is soon..... ...book it....
  10. I don't know about you but I would rather suck and have the kids playing exiting up beat hockey than watch another season like last year.... Trading the future away is giving spots to Vanek and Eriksson and Gagner, etc. when better, faster kids are ready to step up and blow them out of the water. Tell me all about it next year when EP is vying for the Calder and the Horvat line is pulling top 10 points in the league.... I have watched this team for as long as you and we have never had the prospects we have now and many of them will be ready next year....MacEwen, Juolevi, Chatfield and more are on the cusp and Dahlen, EP, Gaudette and Demko will be ready next year. We haven't seen what Rodin is going to provide yet either ...but from what I have seen of his game ...it is a step above a lot of players on this team right now.
  11. Kane is having a strong season and maybe his history is behind him so I wouldn't mind him coming on board but I also think Gadjovich is only 1.5 years away from making an impact with us and EP likely starts out on LW for us ...Dahlen and Gaunce.....still Kane for 2-3 years maybe more if he indeed he has changed would be very nice.
  12. Did you not just read what I said about NJ ? .....7 players that are age 21 or younger all starting and they are leading there Div. with 24 points that's is 3rd best in the whole league..... I am not in a rush, I am in a real good place thinking about what's next for this team. Also lets slap them on the ice next year ....not right now....and there will be some slaughtering done...but by us ....not to us....book that.....
  13. Politics aside....and sure it may factor in...but the coach of team OHL played Gadj. for what seemed like half of the second and third periods....Gadj was on the first unit PP everytime and he won the game for them....there is no way any of those goals go in without him creating havoc in front of the net. It would be almost criminal in my mind to leave him off the team...at the end of the game he looked like a man among boys and an NHL'er among future AHL'ers... All 3 guys deserve to make the team way more than Corrado did back when....
  14. Pettersson and Gaudette will be with Canucks next year ...with no chance they see anytime in Utica....book it people....Elias is better than Nico and he is NJ's #1 center and they are still first in there division and they have a team with 7 starters under the age of 22... ...let that sink in for awhile people....
  15. EP has the hands to learn how to dominate at the FO circle now that the rules have changed ....I don't think he has any problem with playing center when he get's here but he is maybe more valuable playing the sidewall for those hard and accurate "Ovvie" like one-timers.
  16. It's almost a can't miss for D. this year...as many as 15 D. rated to go in the first round....me...I want Kevin Bahl after watching him tonight with our early 2nd round pick or late first (hopefully we make the playoffs)...Hughes and Bahl would make a dominant pairing.....
  17. I'de like to chirp in as well....
  18. On a side note...Bahl would look pretty good as an Edler replacement...Elite Prospects seems to be rating him and EP's linemate Bokk as 3 3&4 in the draft... edit: I think this might be just a list now.... from Elite Prospects: - Calen Addison (D) Lethbridge Hurricanes WHL 18 4 14 18 8 - Alexander Alexeyev (D) Red Deer Rebels WHL 11 1 8 9 12 - Kevin Bahl (D) Ottawa 67's OHL 21 0 9 9 44 - Dominik Bokk (LW/RW) Växjö Lakers HC J20 SuperElit 16 7 13 20 6 - Adam Boqvist (D) Brynäs IF J20 SuperElit 13 5 6 11 14 - Evan Bouchard (D) London Knights OHL 18 4 15 19 10 - Xavier Bouchard (D) Baie-Comeau Drakkar QMJHL 20 0 5 5 18 - Rasmus Dahlin (D) Frölunda HC SHL 16 3 4 7 6 - Ty Dellandrea (C) Flint Firebirds OHL 19 6 6 12 8 - Grigori Denisenko (LW)
  19. 3 of those goals were Gadj.'s....all the way...and the coach knows it cuz he shows it....amazing performance by Gadj., ...a MAN among boys out there and he looks a bit faster now as well...just Wow..!! Dipietro was great as well... Like I have been saying LInd, Gadjovich and Dipietro are all Locks for team Canada...and will be major cogs in the machine as well...!!
  20. His shooting percentage just took a big hit....but 11 shots...over 25% of his teams shots....that is just ridiculous, his hand-eye co-ordination is extreme....particularly around the net when there is pandemonium all around and he just seems to be able to focus and find the puck before anyone else....a real keeper we have here...
  21. Agreed...the only way I see the Sedins coming back is if we make the playoffs this year and they are a relevant reason why we made it...and I don't see that happening. If we make the playoffs it will be more because the Sedins find some way to contribute with 10 min./game ice time or everybody else gels nicely and if they are only getting 10 minutes by the time the season ends...they won't be back. Dahlen and Goldy both should have a real shot at a roster spot as well... Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser This line needs to gel a bit but I think Baer is going to do alright on it. Dahlen - Pettersson - Goldy This line should score at will..... Granlund - Gaudette- Virtanen This line should check and score Rodin - Sutter - Dorsett This line will take the puck away from the other team and make them cry.... Gaunce or MacEwen ....if Eriksson is still here we have to shave off Goldy or Granny or Gaunce as well.....
  22. I hope to see them at the end of the year as well...but for a playoff push...I don't think we are as bad as those last 2 games and with some gelling I think we might be as good as the Pittsburg game....we will see....in any case we need to offload some Vet.'s at the TD....
  23. It is amazing how many people think EP and AG are going to need time in the AHL.....EP is dominating a better league than the AHL right now and AG is doing almost as good as Johnny Hockey did and he has more size and grit.... They both make the team next year...no question....
  24. Just what Team Canada needs...a large presence in front of the net ...that can actually hunt down rebounds and bury them in the appropriate pocket...roof daddy mostly... Go Gadj Go....
