Got to the point they were having a hard time getting officials to do the games. I am assuming that old Commercial B league was in Creston. What team did you play on? Reffing is no fun. Their only bonus was the occasional wobbly pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reffing is no fun. Their only bonus was the occasional wobbly pop. It was. Did not play myself but had a number of friends and acquaintances that played. Most of the friends were either on the Lister or Town of Creston teams and not many from Canyon. Big time rivalries back in the day. Three brothers on town team were pretty good players and I am pretty sure you would know who they were without my mentioning their names. The games were certainly similar to the broad street bullies style. Referee Dave W. likened it to Saturday fight night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hope stech is ok, and back sooner than later. Next time a TB player is injured I hope we can all flood there twitter accounts with fist bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This jerk is only 5'8" and weighs in at a miniscule 160+.He's only played 6 NHL games in his career (1 assist). I suspect that players around the league have watched the dirty hit on Stecher, and will be aware of Martel. Some NHL players might even decide that he deserves to be treated harshly for his bush-league lack of respect game he plays. Here's hoping so. Here's also hoping a stray puck finds Cooper's face behind the bench.. That douche-y face just feels like it needs to get punched more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think this would be a great deterrent: have the guy dishing out a concussion sit as long as the injured player does. Seems fair. Then there'd be no advantage to this crap and would even things out. Even though it doesn't account for the residue that, even after returning to the game, can be a factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for the Canuck's coaching staff to realize that there is a significant difference between the rules stated in the textbook and how the rules are applied by the refs in the game. Accoring to the department of players safety the head shot to Stecher was a legal hockey play. It's up to the Coaching Staff to send the following message to their players: If those kind of head shots are allowed by the refs and the league you players can also treat opponents the same way. Complaining is not the right way to deal with this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Stecher has slowly but surely been making a statement this season. His hustle and determination are making up for his lack of size. His focus on the defensive end is paying off and I expect that soon the leash will be off allowing him more freedom in the attacking zone. He's quick and deceptive with the puck. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into the season thinking that Stecher's biggest challenge was his d-zone play. Still a work in progress but the improved puck possession, in large part due to superior FO % has really helped Stecher. HE will always be a heavy forecheck target especially in playoffs. He handles the puck well and can skate well. IMHO he is the type of player who who's game will scale up well as the skill level on the team improves.

joe-max Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Stecher doesn't get enough credit. He is playing a very solid season as a third pairing guy, averaging around 18min/game. He is on pace for a career high in points despite not receiving any power play time (unlike in his first season where 8 points came on the pp), he is second best on the team with +12, he is a warrior and heart&soul guy who skates well, has puck skills and surprisingly often manages to win puck battles despite his small frame. He and Hutton could eventually become a solid 2nd pair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO his challenge this year was to show he could play a d-zone game that would not hurt his team. He has been doing that. Saying that I would not under rate the improved puck possession game the team is playing, it helps Stecher and the whole d-core. Beagle and Sutter help his game. Better goal tending make his game look better as well. Not crazy about the Canucks making playoffs but if not this year then next year for sure. That will be a huge test for both Stecher and Hutton. Playoffs are a different game. It will be a much tougher game with a much heavier forecheck. I prefer Stecher face this in year 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it turns out, this is year 3 for Stech and next year will be his 4th. I too have liked the development in his game. His year is much more similar offensively to his rookie year and his defense, while not amazing, is adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhukini Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hell of a game tonight, he's in the group with Edler (get well) and Tanev, and there's a case to be made for him over this years Tanev. Unfortunately the gap from him down on is massive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I had been very excited with Stetcher earlier in his career but fealt he took a step back last year and was I became unsure how he projected long term on this blueline. BUT Stetcher’s shown me with his play this season that he may be one of the long term pieces to the puzzle that GMJB is building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
