    The type of player we thought Virtanen would be...

    … and Kassian …and Pyatt 

     

    to a lesser extent Bernier, Gadjovich, and MacEwen

     

    seems like after hitting our luck with two of the best classic power forwards in Bert and Neely(although we traded him) ; there’s a curse in developing power forwards here.
     

    even ended up with a past expiry Ferland… luckily dodged bullets but were heavily in on Clowe and Lucic during FA when they signed their huge contracts 

  2. Everything’s kinda full circle.

     

    this kinda reminds me of when Kassian bloodied Ben Eager after years of Eager cheapshotting the Canucks. Saw Ben leaking and celebrated and pumped up the crowd after the fight.

     

    Not sure if it was last year or before that, but Kassian ran over the MTL goalie and the Habs fan base was disgusted with their lack of push back… I think their only response ended with Kassian hitting his own head on a MTL players helmet during a fight; so understandable seeing Xhekaj celebrate the way he did, I’m sure he’s aware of the history 

  3. I remember in 2014 after Kass had a solid finish to the season I was hoping to see us draft Nick Ritchie (still think he would’ve done better than Virts, but would’ve been a bad pick anyways) just so we could see him and Kass on the same line.

     

    Guess I’ll finally get the chance to see the two Peterborough Pete’s goon it up together in Arizona.

  4. Random, I know, but is it just me or does this guy look like an Asian version of Brock? 
     


     

     
    been listening to him for a minute now, and always thought he looked familiar.... only occurred to me recently that it’s Brock I was thinking of

  5. Sad watching Hughes exit interview last year. Something along the lines of “these guys (Tof, Tanev, Marky) bring a lot to the team on and off the ice, and I’m sure management will find a way to bring back all of them because of how much they bring to the team” seems like he was set on all three if not at least one coming back. 
     

    wonder if it’s as frustrating for the young players as it is for us to see all those guys go

  6. Oreskovich was a beast physically in some of the games he played and a non factor in some as his physicality was really the only thing he offered... but he made some crushing hits.

     

    believe he’s a financial advisor last I heard...

     

    but yeah I think louis impact is similar but in a different way, his defence is very solid but other than that not much to offer (hopefully I’m wrong)

    Oreo was strictly a 4th line guy, didn’t play any PK, and rarely ever played more than 8 mins a game

    Yeah, why drag Jett in?  What the hell?  

     

    Obviously there's some fringe players who feel threatened by those who actually show potential that they maybe don't.  What they lack in skill and talent others are showing and it's truly sad that their egos are using more real estate in their heads than their brains are.  Lash out instead of working harder, which is what most players focus on.  These guys tried to pump each other's tires by throwing others under them and it blew up on them.  Coke fueled to boot.  No wonder he sucked.

     

     

     

    There’s a clip on a YouTube video with all his messages, where he cursed Jett Woo saying that he wanted to “go” his girlfriend.
