  1. Thought his game against the ducks was pretty good, very good offensive hockey iq and skills, only concern would be possible lack of effort on 1 or 2 shifts for the night. 

     

    Overall very exciting player, from what I saw tonight he is good enough for 2nd line minutes for the rest of this season, definitely ready for the next step to the NHL.

  2. I haven't heard of an update in the last week since:

    Benning says Anton Rodin is still about another 3 weeks away.

     

     

  3. 1 hour ago, Alflives said:

    Why was he playing at all before, if this 100% rule applies? 

    To test the waters and find out if the knee was ready for the regular season or not. 

     

    New update from the province 2 hours ago, seemingly conflicting with what they said with TSN early today.

    The bigger concern is Anton Rodin. After experiencing pre-season swelling in his surgically repaired knee from a January tendon laceration, the winger was placed on injured reserve to start the season. The hope was that he would return stronger and faster to bolster the offence, but even that isn’t going as planned. Rodin isn’t skating and is on a four-to-six week strength program.

    “He’s further away than he thought,” said Canucks coach Willie Desjardins. “There’s nothing you can do about that and we have to build it up. He didn’t have the speed to get where he wanted to go.”

  4. When I watch Jake play I can't help but think that he is following a similar path to those without high hockey IQ and constant effort/intensity. 

    He has all the tools to be THAT player, I can't help but think a prolonged Utica stint would help him immensely.

  5. great pass by olli on that assist. really looking forward to following him closely this season, if he gains 10+ pounds and develops his speed/game upwards, he's pretty much a roster lock next year. 

    Edler - Tanev

    Hutton - Gudbranson

    Joulevi - Stecher

     

    Looks good. 

  6. My feeling was if Dubois was gone by 5 then we were getting Juolevi over Tkachuk, even though I would prefer a little more elite winger prospects at the moment myself. Looking forward to seeing what the kid can do, probably will see him in the lineup in 2-3 years.

  7. Wonder how much Peyton got paid to say that about Budweiser lol.

    Credit where credit is due, Denver's defence was amazing tonight, I didn't think they would contain Carolina's offense.

    And I agree with others, that broadcast was very boring.

  8. Loved those first half highlights already posted, a lot of highlight reel goals there. Even if there were a lot of mediocre defensive plays on a few of them. Hoping that Brock is the real deal and am really looking forward to his development.
