  1. MICH NCAA teams always have sweet jerseys
  2. Great interview with Ryan Johnson on Goldobin on 1040.  Sounds like he is committed to improving.  Would love to see him earn a call up

      when horvat was on the team one year before he should have been up, WD played him on the 4th line learning to play nhl defensive hockey first. they should learn that on the farm first. benning bowed to fan pressure to play young guys. we saw how that hurt virtanen and mccann. 

      these guys know how to develop young players. people just need to be patient and let them do what they feel is right. 

      i hope goldy becomes a very good nhl'er, along with the swedes, gaudette, lind, gadjovich, juolevi and boeser and jake, our future looks pretty good.

      Except @smithers joe, if I recall correctly, Horvat either had to play in the NHL or back to junior.  The AHL was not an option.  The same thing applied to Virtanen and McCann.  With some guys it's tough.  Sometimes it's hard to know whether they are better off with limited minutes in the NHL or as a man among boys in junior.

       

      As for being patient, I am all for it.  No need to rush guys to the big show any earlier than necessary.

      it was good to hear that Chatfield and Breisbois are doing well too. If Cull can get us a more complete player back and Goldy see's some time up here too and gain even more confidence, thats a big win for us. Its the reason San Jose let him go, they didn't think he had the committment to his d game. 

  3. Blade Runner 2049 9.5/10 Same sound designer from Sicario- the exact same visceral and punishing sound design. Absolutely loved it. Cinematography and set design were superb- liked how the movie had almost a 'Brazil' like feel to it at times with the props and effects used. The story was very much a faithful follow up to the original. D efinitely not a movie for people who dislike slow pacing and quiet ambiance.
  4. That's fair. I dont like to be too harsh on people right away, but perhaps the fan criticism coupled with Travis Green's coaching actually really helped Jake get to this point. He strikes me as an honest and caring person, and I'm happy he has seemed to thrive from criticism rather than buckle which would really sucked for him, us fans, his teammates etc. Nothing wrong with you being undecided- I think that's the smart thing for a player like Jake. He still has a long ways to go. What excites me most is his commitment to how he plays without the puck. IMHO if he can keep that up, I see no reason why him and Horvat couldn't have great chemistry together.
  5. Of course it would be short sighted to proclaim Jake as a NHL star already. People are happy (like myself) because we saw the raw talent Jake has, and the potential he has to develop that into something very useful for the team. I continue to believe he can keep getting better. I take it your one of the types who wrote Jake off early? Feelin a little salty?
  6. I guess you'll think Im crazy too for thinking good on Tyson for biting him lol
  7. Not even Tyson says his actions were justified, but within the context of the fight I think it helps create a better understanding of why it happened. Yeah it was wrong, but Holyfield was being a D bag as well
  8. So few people know what happened in that fight. True, he probably would have lost
  9. What Ive noticed the most is his puck pursuit- maybe not honey badger Hansen like but he is going after the puck hard. Really great to see and if he can keep being consistent with it its going to win over the coaching staff. His conditioning has improved, but as a young guy still needs time to develop it. I'm really happy for Jake as he was and still is one of my fav prospects on this team.
  10. Speed and strength is mostly what he needs to work on. Playing in Finland would be good for that
  11. A draw? I missed the fight but I am definitely going to watch it soon.
  12. Canucks Central @ Noon on SN650 is actually pretty decent so far.  

     

     

  13. Animal Kingdom is a favorite of mine. Ben Mendelsohn is great as is the entire cast. I can never get enough good crime dramas
  14. Bernard Hopkins predicts Canelo with a hard fought decision.
  15. I liked it. There is one particular moment that is intentionally ambiguous that got a little under my skin, but overall it was a good, tense watch. I probably wouldnt watch it again either though.
  16. Any For Honor PS4 players here?

      Man I wish that game gets released on the PS4
