  1. As a Tryamkin fan I see this being one of these decisions, that needs to be made by Green and Benning, not by CDC.............(Joke!) No, seriously....If he comes in this year and they put him on the big club instead of Fantomberg (Joke!), then so be it........................ As he can play both RHD and LDH, he would be a perfect #7 at worse. From there it is all up to him and Green, its Tryamkin's responsibility to perform well enough to push guys out, if he does, he should. In saying all that, Looking at how well our Dmen have performed in the early season, I am probably going to shock you in saying I would prefer to have him come to training camp and earn a spot there. My position on this matter, is that he then becomes one of the guys again, having spilt blood, and having earned that spot fair and square. That is the way, in a perfect world it happens..................... But, lets just see if he comes, first A pretty outrageous statement from a Tryamkin supporter who really thinks he is "that" good!
  2. Someone, I probably would not put on the list, but I enjoyed watching was …………………...drum role...…………………………….. Sergio Momesso………………...look at those penalty minutes, even in Europe...……….a very excitable guy! -98 Cologne Sharks DEL 42 14 19 33 193 1998-99 Nuermberg Ice Tigers DEL 48 26 33 59 212 1999-00 Cologne Sharks DEL 51 16 21 37 165 17 9 4 1 5 6 2000-01 Cologne Sharks DEL 31 6 11 17 76 4 2 0 0 0 4
  3. NEW JERSEY DEVILS......are just being little devils We will entertain offers on Chris Kreider, and Brandon Sutter Chris is a UFA at the end of the year and Brandon has a 15 team, no trade clause We are now in the position, that we will look at 2020 or 2021 picks, prospects and young players There is certainly room to be creative $$ retention for the right deal Regards Jan
  4. There is 6 and a half years difference in age...…..that is a lot of games...…...55 X 6.5...……….approx. 250 games...that is a lot to give up, IMO Let's just wait it out until we see where we are...….at the TDL, which will be his greatest value Markstrom is sure playing well though, isn't he? He is going to want a lot, isn't he? I would think so.
  5. Pat Quinn I have to say...….player/coach/GM Probably, the most important Canuck of all time...….IMHO Certainly, one of the most loved!
  6. This is should not even going to be close! Loved Pat
  7. Oh come on, who are you trying to fool? LOL You dream of Alex Burrows...…..
  8. What is wrong with tough Dad love? LOL
  9. I loved Curt Fraser's fights...……..or rather his punches
  10. Too easy to forget a name Great adds I put them on the poll, along with Pat Quinn and Toni Tanti
  11. That is complete BS......there is no way Loui had lightening bolts coming out his Arse...……...NO WAY!
  12. We stand a better chance when we pull our goalie????
  13. I am a Bure guy all the way...…..but I love Harold Snepsts (HM) also Both played with a lot of passion
  14. So, I would imagine this will be a very wide open debate...…... Why is this Canuck your favorite...... Feel free to give an HM Take time to think about it first unless you are absolutely sure...... write-in's are fine.
  15. Hey! Where are you puritans when I get roasted for a bad thread? I got family! I got a friend (1)
  16. Question Joe....do you think when he took someone's spot, and the jokes were flying Do think he said anything about stopping the jokes, way back then? made a public statement and all? I doubt it.
  17. Get real guys They make millions being public figures, they drag their wives and kids through this daily Radio talk shows, news papers, TV programs...……..and the local water cooler at work If you can't take this, you should not have your hand out because your time is up...... You are there by subjecting your family to it, yourself...…..for the 6 million a year Retire and go back to Sweden and play as a hero Pretty simple, really!
  18. Because Uber drivers are too busy between 700 pm and 10 pm game nights
  19. Hey, Alf I added on to my last comment take a look at the end of it
  20. Well, I understand that Markstrom since him rookie season has 1 season (last) that was above average. All the rest really have not been great...….that is history...…..like real history of his play Demko was ranked the best goalie in the draft and drafted as the 2nd best He then anchored the USA U20 Then anchored his college team Then jumped to Utica and then the Canucks Now I will be the first to admit the sample size is not great, but his stats do not lie His historical progression has been outstanding and his NHL stats, minus one game have been elite.....elite! That is what you want from your goalie.... Now by your argument, that would be 10 years of having an elite goalie Isn't that better than 2 to 5 years? If you think Markstrom would play longer than 5 years.... Well than use that argument on Demko It is an easy decision for me Look at the teams that have had a great goalie for years..... Always in contention....you don't throw that away I will add this...……...elite goalies do not usually become elite at 30 years of age Other than Thomas, I do not know any
  21. That is absolutely nuts Alf Players historically start sliding at 31/32....maybe 33/34 Why would you risk keeping a guy that may last 2 to 4 years That is way too short of a coverage period And exactly what do we have in DiPietro He is untested, and undersized Yes, he could turn out fine, but it is his 1st pro-season and I am not banking on a maybe I would far rather had Demko who if by your opinion could last 8 to 10 years (because goalies last long???) Than Marky who has a 2 to 4 window I do not see the logic in that...... Now, in saying that, I am all for playing both to the TDL to make sure my line of thinking works..... Maybe by then, the answer is clearer...…. I am not in a rush, I just want you to see the merits of identifying who is the best for the organization to keep
  22. Alf If your goal is just to reach the playoffs, then fine But I am older than dirt, and I want to see us win the Cup I think most the times on record, you need to take a few runs at it to win and I do not see where Markstrom's time table and ours are in sync It underlines one of our historically greatest problems Which is afraid to make the big move to put things in sync Here we got a goalie, who is in the now, and IMO a goalie just coming into his own...... IMO, WE HAVE THE OPERTUNITY to trade Markstrom and possibly another player, and solidify our young team for 10+ years getting a younger RHD and possibly a prospect, that will truly complete our team, and keep us cap compliant for years...…. Sure it would be good to have Marky and Demko long term But long term, what is the cost? Marky at 6 Million+ Demko 4 Million?????? How does that work with filling in the team? And is the cost of Seattle taking someone else..... Well, we know from Vegas, the cost is a 1st, or equal asset That too weakens the team CDC can not have their cake and eat it too
