  1. Oh your the huge Philip Larsen fan.
  2. No, we should wait and sign him.
  3. I'm just sick of him getting preferential treatment whereas younger guys seemingly all ended up in the dog house for less. And last night, he should wear a Bruins t-shirt under his Canucks jersey if that what wakes him up.
  4. Well she's liking to be seen doing a lot of higher end shopping, if he signed here she could get a credit card with more weight to it.
  5. Why do role players get here and think they're freakin Tony Tanti?
  6. He's teaching the kids how to float in the new NHL. 'Perimeter game' habits are now tolerated, not like in previous eras. But he'll ride EP's coattails all the way to Feb until he feigns a injury and benches himself.
  7. I think Shally could focus a bit more on hitting hard on a strong forecheck. The play making efforts are fine but his role should be hitting first, Biega could tell him.
  8. These phantom calls against him are crazy. But love his aggressive game for sure.
  9. So that's his trick. He just floats around in a 'hockey ready' position all game. Add in a few strides here and there. Bingo! 6 Mill!
  10. I actually really like a couple of their big mobile D men (can't remember their names '55' I think was one) the same mold as Try.
  11. Haha yeah here were mentioned as weed city dope smokers and not TO but I walked through town 'touristing TO' (on several occasions, nice weather etc) and it smelled the same as Commercial Drive. Nope no difference according to my nose, I was snickering at the double standard
  12. That's probably got to wait till the off season. But fixing the things that he can do. Hitting, getting his nose dirty. Being a force where he can. Johnson was the perfect checker and probably could help.
  13. Johnson should take Gadj one on one and bag skate him and tell him what it takes to be a consummate role player. Get his head straight.
  14. I worked in TO earlier this year. Walking around the same smell, weed on every block. It's not just a VanCity thing. It's a moot point. Can't really be 100% avoided.
  15. This 'C' switch happened a few weeks ago. Dawes was signed in the off season and has clearly been assigned a major position in the locker room. Which is understandable. But what is really interesting is the options for each player. Dawes is pretty much done with the NHL but I don't think Tryamkin is, so Dawes would make a better long term captain. I am guessing that Avtomobilist want to extend Try at KHL rates. But I don't think their happy that Try can make 4 or 5 times the money here and can't match NHL pay. And negotiation is all about leverage. They are "rotating" 8 D men. They have a strong D corp. They clearly can live without Tryamkin. All this looks like an attempt to make him choose. My guess is that he is looking to make a comeback to get paid and prove himself in the NHL. Tryamkin, he doesn't like mindgames, I think he has a season and a half left in his contract which he will play out then return for the end of next season. I think his off ice issues of family have been dealt with and he will stick around for his hometown team as they are favored to win the championship. Again, we shall see how this plays out.
  16. Woo your Daddy? Woo let the dogs out!!
  17. I was not a fan last year. But this start is way better than I thought he could bring. His physical play is improving and you couldn't really fault him on that goal that was a great shot between his legs. He had more sedinery in his first year that I am waiting to see. Manning the point that is.
  18. He's looking better, if he keeps working on his strengthening I think he would be way better by winning more board battles. And he should skate the puck harder up ice in transition. Use those wheels more.
  19. There's only 4 or 5 I would have taken ahead of him but he's got time still.
  20. I never saw Green as a suck up to the vets... might be wrong on that one.
  21. The look he's going to give Matheson when he catches him trying to pinch on the side boards.
  22. Gawd he was slow in that game, he looked a step behind every shift, his shot was flakey soft, he had two good chances and couldn't hit the net and he shoots with no intensity at all --a lazy shot. Has he ever finished a body check ever? Gawd I wished he go with Gagner to wherever useless vets go.
  23. I was going to try to post a Ballard vid of a hipcheck, there are 35 hipcheck video's of Ballard hipchecks on youtube. He nailed everybody Lol
  24. Scores his first goal, congrats Nik
