  1. Anyone know if peanut-butter flavored protein is naturally or artificially flavored? I'm allergic to peanuts but found a really good deal on isoflex's pb choc protein.
  2. Unless MDC is available I still want the canucks to draft this beaut. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lHuiFF42QAI
  3. It essentially tests how long a player can keep top speed for 30 seconds. The lactic acid starts to build up so it's pretty impressive how weLl he did.
  4. Ritchie was #3 in leg power average and #9 in leg peak power.
  5. Interesting; Ritchie has played with Subban(several occasions), Horvat(twice), and Cassels(once) before.
  6. Interesting, Ritchie has played with Jordan Subban (on several occasions dating back to midget), Bo Horvat(U17, Ivan Hlinka), and Cole Cassels (thought he was American, but in Canada's Ontario U17) before.
  7. As I've said before, just because the article doesn't mention that they interviewed Ritchie doesn't mean that he wasn't interviewed. You also have no source saying Ritchie wasn't interviewed by the Canucks. Here's a quote Here's Ritchie's interview saying he was interviewed by 25 teams http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=4&id=622716 You would think that the Canucks (6th overall pick) would be one of the 25/30 teams that interviewed Ritchie (ranked 7th overall).
  8. Just because there isn't a link doesn't mean they didn't interview him... Plus, Ritchie said he was interviewed by 25 teams.
  9. 1st choice-any one of the top 5 dropouts (most likely MDC) 2nd- Ritchie 3rd- Virtanen 4th- Nylander
  10. Ritchie's leg strength was pretty solid, which is what matters most for a guy his size (hitting, protecting the puck, skating, balance etc.)
  11. Highly doubt the Canucks only interviewed only four players (usually players say that they're interviewed by 20 teams or so)... However, it does look like Linden likes Virtanen a lot.
  12. Wow, Sam Bennett couldn't do a single pull up.

      If he can make those highlights and can't even do 1 pull-up; I want to draft him even more. That just means he has so much room for improvement

      Just because they have room for improvement doesn't mean they will though

      That's right. Look how terrible Toffoli ended up being. Might as well just send both to the KHL. Bums.

  13. No. Dream scenario here: Benning gets the first overall for a 7th round pick, the 2nd overall for Hansen, then the 10th overall and 24th for Sauve. We pick Ekblad Reinhart Ritchie Virtanen Tuch One can Only dream
  14. Don't get me wrong, i'll pick Ritchie over Virtanen but Jake is more physical, and their shots are equal. The upside that Ritchie has over Virtanen is that he has a much better IQ and establishes himself in the offensive zones as opposed to Virtanen just bowling his way into the offensive zone and going from there.
  15. Schroeder actually plays a bigger game. Last year, he drove the net a ton. In the scrimmages and a few games this year, he threw his body around quite a bit. He also got his goals (albeit only a few) in the NHL in the dirty areas.
  16. Don't think the Canucks have space for him, still think he becomes a solid player. In 12-13 he had almost as much of an impact on the team as Kassian(both had injuries that year). In 13-14 Kassian had a great year without injuries. Schroeder, on the other hand was set back by injuries and never really got a chance to play, as Torts stuck him on the 4th line. Schroeder also looked great in the scrimmages before his injury; throwing the body around, and making slick passes. Even captain Henrik said that Schroeder has shown that he can play in this league... Just give the kid another year and I'm sure he'll do fine.
  17. Virtanen is out with a shoulder injury for a few months now. I guess we have to draft Ehlers... Both of these guys clearly are the next coming of Booth when it comes to injuries. Jokes.
  18. Any bicycle enthusiasts here know how much it would cost to revamp an old hybrid bike?

      basically changing the handlebars into dropdowns, replacing the brake tubing, brake pads, brake levers.

  19. Still think we should take Ritchie or anyone who drops out of the top 5
  20. Well he won't since, the two play different from one another... However, I wouldn't mind Ritchie becoming a top powerforward who can pot in 60 points, hit hard, setup teammates, fight, intimidate, and provide solid leadership.
  21. The thing is, the whistles were put away in the Hawks series when Bieksa, Lapierre, Hansen etc. Pushed around the Hawks.
