Ahhhhhh. Oh.
-
A who?
-
So true. That Finland team was STACKED. Laine, Puljujarvi, Juolevi, Aho and I think there was one more player who graduated after that year that was a big contributor. Very exciting though that our first four draft picks this year are all WJC invites.

....It's charging

LOVE the attitude!

If I get to watch Tryamkin in a Cup Final game #7 anytime over the next decade I will not be complaining...
-
It's crazy that NYR could finish with more points than MTL and MTL would still get home ice in the playoffs because of the wild card set-up...
-
All of the goals Juolevi scores seem to be big, clutch goals, as opposed to meaningless stat padding. He turns it on offensively when his team needs it because he's not relied upon to be the main scorer from the blue line.

This is game 7 tonight, correct?

By the time this team is ready to make some noise in the playoffs a couple years from now, the Canucks will actually need Jake Virtanen. Letting him take his time developing in the minor leagues until 22 while Benning gets the rest of the team in order is exactly what he needs so he has the right line mates to help him succeed. He doesn't need to be on the top line to make an impact as much as some of the skilled wingers we've recently acquired so he'll help balance the forward group as Goldobin and Dahlén come in. Add in Gaunce as a C/LW and you have more than enough wingers to round out the middle six. All we need is for one or two of Benning's drafted forwards to really step it up and exceed expectations at an NHL level. I'm hoping Boeser and Gaudette are the start of that.

Saw them at Venue on Granville last week. Dave Sanchez is a monster!

@zzbottom This masterpiece turned 22 today: @Warhippy Mastodon's older albums are definitely my favourite. Something about the raw energy does it more for me than their last few records since Crack the Skye. Not saying they aren't good, but the old stuff is what I'm all about.

+1 for Katatonia! Seen them in Vancouver a couple times and they always impress.
-
Sweet blend of bands like Mastodon & Elder. Lots of groovy riffs and singing, but still heavy: Favourite metal band of all time: Shameless self promotion - my band just released the single from our upcoming album. Whoever uploaded the track thinks we're from Germany and not Vancouver though
-
You're correct, I didn't realize he wasn't drafted out of the CHL. Even better, I wonder if he's interested in signing at the end of his season and coming right over? He would definitely be an offensive shot in the arm for the Comets. I recall reading his team was in a playoff round fighting for a promotion from Tier 2 to Tier 1 Swedish League Hockey. Anyone know where his team Timra is at right now? Update: after some googling it looks like the top two teams, Mora and Karlskoga are going head to head. I guess that means Dahlen's season is finished? He finished #6 for points in the league though, one point from a tie for 4th.

Burrows for basically a high 2016 2nd... what a coup by Benning! Dahlen's been a point per game player at pretty much every level he's played at, with a 0.71 PPG average in the 2nd Swedish men's league over 100 games played (39-32-71), all before he turns 20 this December. AHL eligible as early as next season. Looks like a solid scoring prospect! http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=212368
-
It's really 4 points in 5.33 games, which increases his PPG. I wonder what that means for his advanced stats and hero charts All jokes aside, I'm excited to see Jasek come over next year and see what he can do in North American pro hockey. Hopefully before this season's end, if his club lets him...
-
He's really picked it up offensively being near PPG (higher?) since coming back from World Juniors. Man on a mission!
-
Having the GMJB special for lunch today... Meat and potatoes

I'm gonna change my username to "Waiver Claims Can't Be Sent To The AHL"

When work hints there's tix coming your way...

Glad to see the concussion wasn't serious and he picked up right where he left off!

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
Chronic.Canuck replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I definitely think you're right about that. With players like Hischier ragdolling their way up the rankings and injuries/illnesses to the pre-season consensus top two in Patrick and Liljegren, not to mention the organizational needs of some of the teams likely picking top ten, we could see some real good players still available beyond #5. -
With Brock out with surgery and Brisebois a solid maybe for Canada, all my attention is on Team Finland this WJC. Hopefully Olli can rise to the occasion once again and show everyone (again) why he was considered the best defenseman in the draft last year by many scouts.
