  1. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=730423&navid=DL|VAN|home Glad to see things are coming along nicely with his recovery.
  2. https://twitter.com/Cspiro15/status/511004325750243328 Just Thatcher Demko wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins hat.
  3. 30 points is pretty solid production for a rookie who starts in the bottom-6. I would be quite pleased if he got 12-15G and 15-18A in his rookie season. I wouldn't really expect him to get more than that though.
  4. Not sure if anyone here loves funky tunes as much as I do, but here are some tracks. These are both electro-funk (the 2nd track in particular is more on the electro side). If you're into funky electronic music I would highly recommend subscribing to this account. Stereocool vs. Fais - The Funktotum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSETDHfErjU Speaker Bomb Feat.

  5. Tom Sestito had 42 goals in has last year of junior. How much hockey IQ do we think he has? (By the way, I'm not implying that Virtanen is an unintelligent player. Just playing the devil's advocate here.)
  6. You're not seriously comparing +/- between one player playing on a very strong team (that finished 3rd overall in the league standings) and one player playing on a last-placed team.
  7. I went back and looked at that CanucksArmy article interviewing Kyle Dubas (re: McCann) and pulled some quotes related to defense in some way. http://canucksarmy.com/2014/7/7/get-to-know-a-prospect-jared-mccann-not-jared-mccan-t EDIT: Doesn't change the fact that his PP-time-to-PK-time ratio is lopsided-- though it seems that McCann is thinking defense-first.
  8. http://instagram.com/p/r2-ZgpjQqy/ See that? That's the body of somebody who's ready to take on the NHL. And kill it. /sarcasm
  9. I think you guys are misunderstanding me because I'm talking about circumstance as opposed to straight-up production. I'm not implying that Nylander is better than Virtanen... All I'm saying is that you're comparing statistics between players in pretty different situations.
  10. I never implied he was dominant against older players. The point I was making was that he was comparing goal per games using players under relatively significant circumstances (junior vs. professional).
  11. Nylander was already playing professionally against men much older than him. Jake was dealing with, for the most part, teenagers. EDIT: Typo.
  12. I think Bob Mackenzie and/or others said at the draft that Nylander does have solid playmaking skills. It's just that he sometimes feels, rightly or wrongly, that he is the best option so he does it all himself.

  14. People actually boarded that train as soon as he was picked.
  15. Anyone know how fast (not necessarily "good" but "fast) a skater McCann is? A line of Shinkaruk-McCann-Virtanen could potentially be a speedy scoring line.
  16. Hunter would be 20 and it's a U20 tournament so he isn't eligible. Part of the reason he played through a tough injury last year was because it was his last chance to make the junior team. McCann wasn't invited to the summer camp but can still get an invite to the one in December if he plays well enough. By not getting the invite for the summer camp, he doesn't get the extra time to get familiar with the other players, coaches, systems, and show the staff what he can do.
  17. If we're going to lose games because of one player, we're probably not in a position to make the playoffs to begin with.
  18. Yeah, I agree, which is why I mentioned it was "outdated". It was just something I hadn't seen before and thought was interesting enough to share.
  19. Someone may have already posted this but I think it's interesting. It's outdated because it was 2 years ago but Gaunce finished top-10 in quite a few tests at the draft combine. http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=80653
  20. I don't think Bo is "going to get" anything. My comments were simply hypothetical. Also, I'm not projecting anything but I'd like to have your thoughts on this potential lineup. I personally don't think it's too unreasonable. D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Vrbata Burrows - Bonino - Kassian Higgins - Horvat - Vey Matthias - Richardson - Hansen
  21. He has been an elite offensive player his whole life but the second he enters the OHL he becomes a coattail rider. Mhmm.
  22. Just a "what if" situation... but if Horvat gets 10 minutes on the 4th line, 2nd unit PP time, and PK time here and there, he gets around 12 minutes. That doesn't sound too bad for a rookie starting an NHL career. Again, that's assuming he gets special teams opportunities.
