  1. Alright I guess I'll keep it moving. I'll take Mikhail Grigorenko of Russia.
  2. Is this a snake draft? ie. 8th pick picks first in the 2nd round? Oh, and I'm not sure how much mercy you guys are willing to show for whoever picked Drouin, but: Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie2m "@CH_WillyPalov: Drouin has a possible concussion." Early yet, but possible WJC implications. Willy Palov ‏@CH_WillyPalov1h Erne just slammed Drouin face-first into the glass. Weegar comes to his defence, but Drouin goes straight to the dressing room. Willy Palov ‏@CH_WillyPalov58m There are 5 minutes on the board for Erne so it looks like he is done for the night - checking from behind major+game misconduct, I assume
  3. Waiting to see if Finland will confirm Barkov.
  4. TSN has a world juniors page. USA is releasing their roster this Wednesday, and I think the cut off for camp invites is Friday.
  5. Not even a regular linemate. And to those comparing Horvat to Hodgson... that's an insult... to Horvat. Hodgson doesn't know what defense is, nonetheless where to find it. Honestly we might as well just give the entire Comets dressing room the flu and then call up Horvat on emergency basis. There's not much more he can do in junior, even if the Knights are hosting the mem cup.
  6. Checking in, sorry was serving suspension. I'm probably going to wait a few days as well, still waiting on camp rosters.
  7. anyone in the futureshop lineup?

      Got COD and BF. 5 hours in line at Metro best buy...

  8. It's pretty much guaranteed that he will be traded at some point this season, hopefully to a contender like the Knights. That 1-2 C punch of Horvat-Gaunce would be sick.
  9. What did we sign up for with McEneny? This is his overager year, he should be dominant. Good to see some C depth coming up, in Gaunce, Cassels, and Horvat. Could really use another C up with the club right now.
  10. Nerdy white guy looking for short Asian woman.

  11. It's kind of cool that the Comets face the Albany Devils tonight, while we face the NJ Devils tomorrow. Hoping for a 2-0 in this miniseries.

  12. Wow! Sexy goal, he cuts the distance well enough that it doesn't go for icing, and is able to beat the defenseman wide on what would have been an innocent dump-in. Then he just makes Oshawa look silly. Nice effing play!
  13. Might as well be Max Domi talk. Come on guys, Horvat is the better player PERIOD. He's got that swag.
  14. You might be wasting your time with Sweatt as he's not even listed on our prospects page anymore: http://canucks.nhl.com/club/roster.htm?type=prospect People insist that we've retained his rights though his 2007 draft year and 2nd contract status indicate otherwise.
  15. Just context for everyone, I believe this post was still in reference to Domi, correct?
  16. Ya man, it's a tough debate. A lot of money is on the table dependent upon which console will ultimately be more popular and attract the exclusive developers. One of the games that would have swayed me to go the Xbox route, Titanfall, is being rumored to be a limited exclusive on Xbox. Here's the article, though purely speculative: http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/28/ea-hints-at-titanfall-on-playstation-4-3940031/ Going the PS4 route will unfortunately mean missing out on Halo 5 though. We'll see if the new KillZone can compare.
  17. I've been doing my research for the last 2 days or so as to which console I will end up buying, and I could honestly be swayed either way. To simplify it, I view Xbox as having the more appealing titles in Titanfall, and Ryse: Son of Rome, while the PS4 simply has the better specs. I personally have no interest in using the Kinect feature, so the extra 100$ Xbox is looking for seems like a straight loss personally. I like to be anonymous when I game so the share feature built in on the PS4 is unappealing to me. Being an Xbox user, I honestly have no idea of the ps3/4 online culture, in this respect I mean adding friends, creating groups, and private games. As I understand it, the ps+ model is not as easy to network with or play with friends. Additionally, the current systems friends lists and achievements can be rolled forward on both systems - making the xbox appealing in transferring my current gamerscore. The PS4 of course straight out beats the Xbox one in terms of the system itself, with GDDR5 ram (100 GB/sec bandwidth gap), higher clocked GHz (1.75 to 1.6), and better graphics card (Radeon 7870 to 7790). ------ Anyways, I got sidetracked. Above is my current internal debate, but I originally came to this thread to ask, in an open intelligent debate, which system should I go with?
  18. Just watched the highlights from last nights game. His first goal was a nasty poke in, but he kept on it for 4 or 5 wacks. The second goal, he managed to get open and the side of the net and pop it in on the rush. His assist looks like a blast from the point, picked up by somebody in front. I have to say, the Knights are absolutely stacked this year! Horvat, Domi, Zadorov with likely high picks in Tait Seguin, Marner and Dvorak.
