I have to say the Moose uniform is quite fetching particularly the mostly red version highlighted by SID. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when the Canucks affiliate was the Manitoba Moose and we got Edler, Kesler, Bieksa, Burrows and Hansen. edit: I forgot Raymond and Schneider and of course the tragedies of Bourdon and Rypien. We can only hope to have another group like that come through this organization. I agree that Lays chips guy sucked though Edited August 16, 2019 by canuckledraggin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about whimsy: "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies', 'Swan Lake', 1812 Overture, 'The Nutcracker'? Or Rimsky Korsakov, "Scheherazade"? Their composers, at least, had a touch of whimsy, and Russia loved its musical geniuses.Or Borodin, who had his Notturno for Strings ripped off to provide music for a whimsical Broadway play, "Kismet". Or, as per the Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff: "In America you play 'Hide and Go Seek', in Russia you play, "Hide and stay hidden." 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stierlitz Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Avto without most veteran players lost to Dinamo, Riga 3-0 in the first game of the Riga tournament. Tryamkin played, no stats about the game was provided... Carter Ashton scored two goals for Dinamo. And Tryamkin was obviously the captain for his team for this game 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
