  1. I am not sure what impresses me the most about Hoglander - his board work - his elite passing -his none stop motor -or how fearless he is Real fun player to watch
  2. I understand exactly what you mean stawns but we have a military...yet no wars we have earthquake practices, yet no earthquakes a Senate, yet no?????? Umm, a Senate, yet no....................???? Ummmm? You get my point! I hope!
  3. Well, I know that the people in Canadian Universities know how to use all the equipment, and know and understand the processes So really, all that is needed is the building, and supplies needed to produce it......(I am sure it is not that simple) But say under the direction of the Pfisir scientists, they could do it, and we should be ready, and should have been ready to do just that When you think about it...exactly how much has all this cost society? And how much more, before it is all over.......... Now we are looking at booster shots for the shots we have not gotten yet. I also read that the RNA vaccine is much easier to manipulate, and they could be producing an effective booster within 6 weeks So, imagine, if we could produce enough for ourselves............what a position we would be in to protect ourselves and possibility send vaccine to some of the states and other countries. The question, I have is why are we not building and preparing the facilities now? Who is to say this doesn't go on for years?
  4. There are lots of players on the sens worth having, they are just mis-cast and not enough support But if you look at Paul's face Off percentage, and I can certainly see how he fits, he also is a great skater for his size As for Crouse, he and Virtanen share very similar story lines, albeit, Crouse has not shown as much, but it is not like Virtanen has shown well recently IMO, the current 3rd line is lacking, and Gaudette shows absolutely no defensive acumen, he really needs to step it up on the faceoffs, because once Beagle and Sutter are gone, weeze in trouble! Take a look at Paul's Faceoff win/loss record, it is what you need for a center.
  5. Well, this is a continuation of evaluation of Jake and Adam So, although both have some upside and some value, the question is how much? At the same time, what do we need for forwards moving forward.............. It is my belief, that Benning now has to start looking at his 3rd and 4th lines and see what he has. The following 2 trades, I think are realistic, and fair value, and fill in some holes moving forward I think, it would be a easy leap to suggest that the top 2 lines will be complete, once Podkolzin gets here Miller/Pettersson/Boeser and Hoglander/Horvat/Podkolzin is the penciled in top lines, in the not to distant future I think 2 trades I would like to see are Trade #1......................Adam Gaudette for Nick Paul Trade #2......................Jake Virtanen for Lawson Crouse This would give us the potential to throw out a 3rd line of .........................Crouse (6'4" 220 lbs) / Paul (6'3" 219 lbs) / McEwen (6'3" 205 lbs) in a size matters 3rd line Now, Motte deserves better, but certainly a potential Motte/Lind/Lockwood 4th line would be an energy line, and would keep the cap down I would be moving Pearson at the TDL along with Benn Now Lockwood and Lind are not there yet, but it is looking more and more like Lind will make a case to play up, within the next year or so........................
  6. No, what I am trying to get at, is we do not have to re-invent the wheel We simply need to enter into an agreement with these companies, to purchase an license agreement to manufacture their vaccine, in our country under their name pay them the profits, and take the best vaccine It is done all the time in business, there is no need to re-invent the wheel. In my opinion, this has been one of the big failures of this pandemic.............the scramble seems to be, to get public money, more than to defeat the pandemic Which I understand, but to me, a little common sense as above would go along way. As for the expertise, we have alot of it. There is no doubt in my mind we could produce vaccine under Pfisirs or whoever's supervision
  7. Just finished watching Global news where they did a peace on Canadian vaccine manufactures, who are complaining that the Canadian Government did not do enough to support them, as they stated they could had a vaccine in the final stages, if they had more support........ This lead me back to my original opinion on Canadian vaccines months ago........... Here, where and what the Canadian Government should have done years ago......................It seems to me, that there are only so many "Leading" edge vaccine companies in the world, with the likes of Pfisir, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, and JJ etc..........that come to mind. What, would have been prudent, is for the Canadian Government to sign an agreement for a "Manufacture under License agreement" where we support these companies financially, with money to all, for the creation and testing, then for them to train and over see the making of the vaccine in Canada, by Canadian firms. Then pay a license fee per dose to each the parent firm and the Canadian production firm. Why would they do it? Because they would have access to our market. And there is the Humanity aspect, also. To me, we always come up with the reasons not to do it, and never the reasons why we should. *We have already paid millions of dollars to these companies for doses we may not use, nor may not actually be effective, or may not be the best Just a random thought.........
  8. Great news Stierlitz I think? Was Podzkolzin coming to Vancouver this year? And does this exclude him from playoffs Or was that never a consideration I generally don't worry about that stuff so never paid much attention until now PS...Thanks for all the work you do on our Prospects Always look for your reports Cheers!
  9. Hey, I am a Canuck through and through But I say, hit him when it matters, fight him fair and square don't jump a guy, because you feel tough!
  10. I have another take on this, you guys might want to consider #1..........Tkachuks hit was legal then he gets a cross check Then big McEwen takes him on #2..........Next time we play Ottawa and someone hits a Ottawa player then big GUD, who did not react comes over and beats the crap out of Miller, Horvat, Boeser.............you know a star player that wasn't really doing anything Then we will hear people on here crying! #3...............It was wrong, and Gaudette started it (had to edit) and McEwen, could have just went in there and tied him up #4...............I think it was a mistake, and you guys remember Pay Back is a Bitch! Then we will see who is laughing! Try thinking about it from their eyes, especially after loosing the series so decisively It was a mistake!
  11. I was just going to ask if I was the only guy who thought Roussel was terrible tonight Am I ?
  12. Hey Surfer These comments are only in the spirt of discussion Do you really see him as an ideal 3rd liner? I see the potential to be, for sure, but he is just so inconsistent He has 1 point in 9 games so far and he is just a little over 11 minutes a game...........nothing ideal to me I wish I could see it better..............so much potential, but he just can not apply himself to that ability Even last year with an 18/18, he still lacked that statement type of play.....he showed glimpses, and abracadabra, where is Jake IMO, he has to raise his game.....like alot.........I actually have never seen the guy mad..........he is pretty much indifferent He will grab a guy, nut just never has that I am going to rip your face off, mentality So, people will say, not everyone a fighter....I accept that, so then just smash people with hard hits I remember Jakes first time against McDavid, and he smashed him into the boards.........so effective and It was not into the boards hit, it was a through the boards hit...........that is what I want to see out of Jake
