    I’m gonna leave this here for you all to enjoy. We got this kid cooking on the farm and i’d really like to see him on the big club some day. He can play defence and forward too. 
     

    The kid is awesome to watch and he’s gotten better each year on our farm. Could be a 4th liner in a year or two/spare forward. (Sorry if I didn’t add the videos correctly)

    One thing to consider is coaching. Can RT get this team playing as a great cohesive unit? 

    This is the key to our success we have enough talent. 

    Remember the last year with green. A disorganized mess. They still lose games because of it. 

    Not a very cohesive team.

    The eye test says it’s Hasek everyday. Teams in Buffalo were not defensive juggernauts so he had to literally stand in his head many nights. No offence to Plante and the like but put Hasek behind a stellar defensive team and no one touches him in this category.
    Now, I might be wrong, but I’ve trusted my eyes over the years and Hasek did things no one else before or after has even come close to physically matching. Wins and shutouts and Stanley Cups are TEAM accomplishments. Positionally, historically, physically, there’s no one better than the great Dom.

    Aside from Bruins fans, who the hell thinks Marchand is a hero? I’m pretty sure he’s disliked league wide.

     

    Also, Bertuzzi legitimately caused an assault and ended a guys career. He literally stalked the guy the whole shift, wanting another fight, and when he didn’t get his way. He blindsided him with a punch to the temple. Looking back, the whole Free Bertuzzi campaign (which sadly I was apart of), was dumb. Loved Bertuzzi, but the punishment he got was deserving.

    Bert took things into his own hands when the league didn't do there job when Moore hit naslund.

    Sekeres is abusing the word Concern over and over in this clip.

     

    as a person that understands the importance of language which is ironic cuz I am dyslexic as f**k, but it actually makes me more aware, but this guy sounds like my ex wife before I am about to go up a ladder to fix the roof…

     

    She has concerns but I built the god dammed house and put the roof on in the first place and mounted a ladder and had fall arrest equipment on…. So she was only really concerned that I would come back down safely…. As I latter found out.

     

    Sowing doubts is actually what it was and over time it eroded our understanding of what a real concern was and what a exaggeration was.

     

    Constant exaggeration is a tactic in gaslighting and in law in in propaganda, with some truth and a lot of unscientific and or unspecific vague words like ‘Concerns’

    ’Fears’ and ‘If’.

     

    Now it’s fear that Elias Pettersson will pull one of the rarest moves in hockey, pulling a Johnny Hockey and screwing over the team that drafted him, developed him and gave the wee fiend a top spot on the line up and built a line around him to make his career take off as much as he worked his ass off too.


    Now how many players walk to FA?

     

    How many super stars who are 1st line centres?

     

    Statements like ‘It’s not like this team has ever prioritized Elias Pettersson…’ are beyond ridiculous.

     

    he could have said that about Quinn Hughes after Luke Schenn was dealt and Hronek was on the shelf after the trade, but not after this draft and FA, so forget Podzkolsin, forget JT Miller, forget Kuzemenko, forget bringing the Sedins into the management and coaching and mentoring roles, forget getting totally Pro Coaching Bench with how many Cup Rings and or play off games between them, Tochett as a coach, Adam Foote and Gonchar?

     

    Last season showed the division in the Locker Room,  with Bruce and Horvat having this love in when last year it JT an Bruce, with it causing friction.

     

    Unless Bruce was directed by Alvin to ‘Pump and Dump’ but it looked like Bruce wanted JT to be the secondary second choice behind Elias and while Horvat scored a ton of goals, he was not a generator of offence with his line mates with a 2-1 goals to assist ratio last year.

     

    it also made Horvat unaffordable for Vancouver to sign and was a change from last season where the offence went thru Elias to JT to Horvat.

     

    but the idea that keeping Brock is not also for Elias, as they are close friends and Alvin addressing the long term deficit this team has had on Defence since the Mike Gillis days in terms of any development after Tanev.

     

    Until Quinn Hughes.

     

    So whether we have fixed the gaping hole on the back end, and over developed our forwards and forward depth much to benefit the offence and that is mostly Elias, it’s absurd to claim the club has rarely prioritized Pettersson.

     

    Listen to Dwali, just don’t look at the shirt he is wearing it may cause a headache, and hear the interview with JP Barry, it was very chill and all parties understand that the deal is their to be made and they all needed to re charge and take whatever vacation time they have and come back in a month or 6 weeks.

     

    Don Taylor was playing the role of Sekeres then and he quit pretty fast when it was just ignored by JP Barry after it was shot down the first time.

     

    Next it will be ‘Is Demko healed or will he be as bad as the start to last season…?’ 
     

    Which would make sense if Demko finished the year injured instead of playing very well, maybe too good as we slipped from 5th to 11th in the draft…

     

    and he was injured and had corrective treatment and therapies in between his bad play, due to the injury that didn’t heal from the end of last season, and he returned look g like our Number One Goalie.

     

    We bring in a solid number 5 D man that can bring a missing element to our game, being big and mean and able to back it up, while also having a scoring touch.

     

    Then we bring in a solid veteran number 3 d man in Ian Cole and another depth d man with 500 games who is a local guy…

     

    Plus add drafted players who are RHD and able to be effective players beyond their peers, especially Willander.

     

    All positive steps and exactly the type of solid sound prudent moves we had to make after buying out OEL.

     

    A+

     

    Hronek was the big move and now the media are hand wringing about whether he will be ‘as advertised’ while only being stat watching, not having reviewed his play in Detroit and just on the 4 games or so he played solid sound minutes but was shut down for next season.

     

    what is there to worry about,

     

    go look at the YouTube Highlights and scouting videos and you’ll see he looks pretty decent and he was a sought after player by Alvin and Rutherford.

     

    So if you are doubting Hronek and that deal without any reason too, your really just stirring the pot of controversy to drum up hits and listens and views.

     

    Hey, it’s sports newscasting, so there is always an entertainment aspect and a tinge of theatre.

     

    This is also what super shady news and or propaganda sites and media outlets spew all the time and we can do better and so can this crew.

     

    Sekeres and Price are pretty good mostly and Patterson is fair enough, so is Dwali, if not a bit comic.

     

    Just need to look optimistic in the middle of the off season about the unknown and really, if the Club and Bear have made a hand shake deal, which would truly benefit both sides in his unfortunately timed injury could be a silver lining scenario where it allowed Ian Cole to be added and have Soucy and Myers share the 4 spot minutes in a 4/5 role and not over work either unless the two streaky big guys get hot for a few games.

     

    Alvin and the club view Bear as a legit 4th RHD guy, a capable defender and able to contribute on the score sheet too.

     

    We have a much stronger team with Bear and it’s likely to go down with him being signed as the LTIR kicks in on Poolman.

     

    The only fear, concern and if other than Bear atm I have about this off-season other than the usual ahl and or RFA players still left to work into the roster, is dumping a 4-6 million dollar surplus winger contract, or figuring out who can best step into a face off role and light duty as a Center cause we have some work left to make the cap and balance our top 4 lines… 

     

    lol.

    There's the risk of doing what Benning etc did though by adding too many vets and not seeing the youth get time.

     

    Love the short term deals, will see them moved on at the tdl or supplanted by the kids

    This is what I was thinking. It never seems our youth get a chance.

    The plan. Sign Burroughs and another cheap dman and keep the cap space we've got left in our back pocket. Play the young guys (Hirose ward)

     

    Get this team playing the right way so guys like Garland and boeser look good again. 

     

    Continue to try to unload a couple wingers and then weaponize our cap space.

     

    Continue searching for players like the way we got hirose.  

     

    Pick up picks any way we can. ( schenn for a third types) sign bear for example then trade him at the deadline. 

     

    We need to make sacrifices for one more year.

     

    I can't see why someone wouldn't want Myers after his bonus is paid.

     

    We only have future cap issues if we continue to push the limits and aren't patient. 

     

    We have too many players underperforming which I believe is due to a team playing with no structure.....a disorganized mess.  Therefore we will be selling low.

    Fix that first. 

    Can Tyler Myers still become a good defenceman?

    I did notice that he played his position a lot better at the end of last year under Tocchet on a team with a lot more structure. 

    That's the problem.  How many players do we have that you would say underperformed?  

    I find it hard to assess players when the team structure itself seems out of sorts. 

    You end up getting rid of players that go elsewhere and perform.

    The team structure needs fixed.....then you look at trading to have more balance in your roster. 

     

    It's the chicken, egg thing.
