  1. If Pittsburgh gets Kesler that pick will be 29th or 30th, they would have to throw more in than that, a 3rd and Sutter. Even with Despres in there.
  2. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with linemates that don't stick and body check him! Middle of the first it happened on consecutive shifts.
  3. The long hard decline to the 6th overall pick begins.... way to many injuries and no-shows. Looking forward to the March 5th selloff.
  4. You could see he had something special, besides speed and size, at the prospects camp last summer. He had a few great looking rushes up the ice and no one was taking the puck away from him, slick and sure hands. Here's hoping they can talk him into turning pro next year! He could be the offense defenceman find of the year just like Tanev was for the defensive defenceman find.
  5. If he can show well as 2nd line center in pre season I can see Tort's moving Kesler to the Sedins wing again. On the other hand a line of Burrows/Horvat/Kesler should be shut down heaven, even start scoring short handed again maybe. I am hoping that by next year either Kassian get's it together enough to play with the Sedins or we get someone to fit there. Also hoping Dane Fox fits in there somewhere and a sniper for the Sedins might work.
  6. We need him before his college year ends or else he might as well stay in college another year and join the Canucks for the finals in 2015, when we finally win the cup.
  7. Ya what a laugh, Horvat = Toews maybe, in a while, but no way Shinkaruk turns out to be a whinny Momma's boy like Kane.
  8. We will be alright... Next year. It would take a monumental shift in puck luck and every other kind of luck to make a serious run at the cup this year. This is the hardest luck for the longest stretch I have seen with this team, which means we are due for a long run of good luck I guess... believe it when I see it ...
  9. Oreally O'Reilly no Daneil...no Daniel means no Henrik they won't part.
  10. I hope you don't mean that Henrik isn't a top 6 player!? Santorelli may not be a top 6 player but he played very good up to a game or two before he got injured, wore him out I guess.
  11. more votes please! http://hobeybaker.com/awards/the-hobey-baker-memorial-award/vote
  12. He is the only Canuck not snake bitten by the hand of incredibly bad luck. We need and exorcism or at least a Mojo doctor!
  13. Hutton is still 100 votes behind first place.
  14. ...I know it's Lame poster....
  15. Jordan Schroeder has been sent to Utica for conditioning, just today.
  16. Apparently Booth didn't get the memo...everyone else is on Olympic break
  17. Just one or two lucky goals and then a couple more sort of lucky ones, nothing that the Canucks don't have happen to them all the time...4 or more lucky goals in a game... When will this jinxy junk stop....
  18. Booth for Mayor! Call up Utica! Sit the rest of the team!
  19. So...Horvat has turned into Hodgson somehow? Aside from a similar skating style and slick passing they are quite a bit different really. Horvat's extra 15 Lbs. should help him make a quick transition to the NHL and help him stay on the ice and not get banged up as easy as Hodgy.
  20. Hutton scored a goal while shorthanded 5 on 3! just Wow! Quote from hobey baker award page; Ben Hutton: 2013-2014 (Sophomore): Has played in all 19 games for the Black Bears... Ranks third on the team in scoring with seven goals and seven assists for 14 points... Tied for the national lead in goals scored by a defenseman with seven... Tied for 15th in the nation in points per game by a defenseman, averaging 0.74... Also ranks tied for 26th nationally in power play goals with four... Had a six game points streak earlier this season... Leads Maine in blocked shots with 23... Nearing the single season goal leaders by a defenseman in Maine history... Scored a goal earlier this season when Maine was shorthanded 5-on-3... Among the team-leaders in +/- with a +8.
  21. He was first for a while. Looks like it might be back and forth with Gaudreau , they are hundreds of votes ahead of everyone else already.
  22. To add more hyperbole to this, come the end of May we make to the Finals but are banged up again. Horvat, Fox and Gaunce join us and become line 2B, outscoring Kesler's line and bringing us home the cup!
  23. I think he just has to realize he can do those things. He only tried that once at the World Juniors and it almost worked. He might have to develop a bit of attitude, confidence at least to do that regularly.
  24. Didn't take long to vote him up to first place!
  25. We need a big butt Buf uckin in front of the net and in the corners. Maybe we trade for the real deal from Winterpeg or maybe Archie or Lain put on a few to a lot of pounds and we have a close facsimile. Sestito will get better and has decent hands but he is no Buf. Lain is 6'6" so he could use 20 or more pounds just to fill out, put 30 Lbs of muscle on him and voila we have a big butt plus player. Archie plus 15 Lbs would be close at 225 Lbs. and 6'3". Who ever it is has to have hands and a head for making the right play and being in the right spot. Kassian is better at his current weight, he was slow at 225 and is better skating around with the puck looking for the pass than he is in front of the net or in the corners.
