  1. Watch the kid flourish in the new year. Some changes in the family situation coming up :-)
  2. If you look at his posts the last couple of days, it actually fits quite well...
  3. Now, OP, please tell us how you really feel about this hiring lol.
  4. Perhaps Theodore needs to brush up what “racist” actually means. “French” is not a race…
  5. They couldn't send him to the Q - Belarussian federation would not release his transfer list for the major junior league in North America.
  6. I agree on Podkolzin, but it would be a different situation with Danila. Podkolzin was on a KHL contract. If Danila is sent to Dynamo Minsk, it would be on a loan agreement, in which case Canucks would dictate the conditions of the loan, including playing time and deployment.
  7. If there's any league that he will be loaned it - it's KHL and specifically - Dynamo Minsk.
  8. He will not be sent to Junior
  9. No disagreement at all. If they do bring him up, it would be for a very sheltered experience.
  10. He was told by the management that one of the reasons they are keeping him in Abbotsford is to have an option to call him up to NHL if needed.
  11. What we saw yesterday in the first 2 periods (him losing puck battles on the power play) is primarily due to him being extremely nervous + getting used to playing the point on the power play (he never played that position before). The kid will be fine :-)
  12. This is exactly what happened. In his own words, he was shaking inside after the pre-game ceremony. He never experienced anything like this, with the whole rink singing the national anthem, Sedins greeting, etc. He wants to be greeted like Sedins one day :-). But you could see how he gained confidence and was completely different player in the third. Whoever was saying that his skating is not that good - that’s completely not true. When he’s playing confident - his speed is on the par.
  13. Here’s my short take on the subject. Being Jewish, I hated his “Space Jews” joke. As a result - I’ll stop watching him. But I’m not asking to “cancel” him. I’ll simply stop being his fan, that’s all and he won’t see any of my money. That’s my way of reacting to something that I don’t like.
  14. Fair, but how often is Brock used in that role in games? Petey scored a lot more on the power play from the right hash marks compared to Brock's scoring on the power play from the left hash marks. For some reason he's not fed one-timers as often as Petey.
  15. Think about long term implications of having such a player on the payroll, beyond this season.
  16. Just imagine the power play with Pettersson on the right side and Klimovich on the left side as 2 trigger men :-)
  17. Exactly. Also, watch Danila play left side on the power play during the U18 World Juniors when he scored all those goals.
  18. Precisely what I said earlier :-)
  19. His father is a wrestler and he was the first one coaching his kid to shoot. There's a great interview with his father in Russian on one of the Belarussian sites (https://hockey.by/news/intervyu/news147460.html), where he recalls 11 year old Danila was practicing his shot on an open rink when downpour started, yet Danila kept on shooting and his father actually gave up first. Work ethic!
  20. They actually brought another forward from Belarus into the same position, Daniil Bourosh (https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/619376/daniil-bourosh), so if Danila was to be assigned to them, they would have to trade that kid (due to the number of imports, with them already having one more European player). Now they realize that Danila most likely is not going to them, so they are trying to get something for him.
  21. Perfect example of "no matter what the reality is, I'll stick to me guns to the end"...
