Primal Optimist Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 6 hours ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: No telephone game going on with what Willie said to Stecher. Pretty much a direct quote: Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN ago Willie on Stecher: "He's made it so interesting for us," Told him on the ice today, "You weren't supposed to be here." #Canucks It was clearly meant as praise for Stecher and should only have helped his confidence. Basically Willie was just saying that the coaches didn't expect Stecher to be as good as he's been and that he's blown them away and exceeded any expectations the Canucks had. It's all good. No risk of psychological damage. WOw, i guess its all in how you say it..."You weren't supposed to be here" is better than "you werent' supposed to make it this far"..the latter being something a bond villain says, the former does sound better to me.

I don't listen to team 1040 as we don't get it here...and I don't read these boards on a daily basis..is it really impossible that people know people who happen to be trying out for NHL teams? The Penticton hockey community is close knit. If you ever go to a Vees game ..everyone knows every one..it's not like Vancouver where you MIGHT see someone you know. You can go to a Vees game alone (which I do often) and see 10 people you know..all of them season ticket holders and all of them very in tune and aware of what our past player's are doing....I learned abut a tragic story of one of our past captains last night too.. So there is no reason for me to make up a story...you city guys have lived in the city too long I don't doubt your story. It's totally plausible. Besides we heard the same thing from Willie. That the comment would cause harm to the kid I don't agree with. Willie was paying him a compliment and it was taken as such. It's all good. We're not privy to the body language which is 90% of communication after all. Said with a smile on his face, there's no mistaking the intent. And why would he repeat a story to somebody if he felt slighted by it? Stecher is having a great camp and he has a future with the Canucks. I really like what I see. So does Willie.

Wonder if he starts the season with the mooses. Meese? Mooooosse? Side note to your side note: Pulilarvi has done nothing with the Coil, except make BIG mistakes turning pucks over. Maybe these two guys need time to adjust to how much FASTER things happen on the smaller ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this person. Willie D skated up to Stecher during practice and told him that he wasn't supposed to make it this far. They fully expected him to be in the minors and Stecher is making really hard for the Canucks to send him to the minors. Stecher has a very real chance to make the team! always suspected WD of being an arrogant closet dirt bag.not my kind of coach ,I be glad when he is gone a Green comes in next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushing young guys from Euro ice to our hyper speed game ruins confidence. For some I reason I see the Jets doing things right, but don't have the same confidence in the Coilers.

I just hope he doesn't stay at the cost of a roster spot deserving of someone else who might bring more than what he brings. Again I may be totally wrong I guess it all comes down to what they do with Emerson. If him and Dor stay wouldn't that mean Gaunce would be the odd man out? since burrows isn't going anywhere? And for what it's worth Ruttu could also be a spark if he doesn't have a repeat of last year. You do realise you could say that about almost any player. I mean who are these mythical players who are going to take Dorsett's place. I absolutely hate the mood on here where someone is being preferred just because he is young and shiny/new, even although he hasn't shown anything over a tough 82 game season. Do you watch Dorsett every night? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 10 hours ago, HockeyHarry said: You just beat me too it^ Not sure what the penticton billit thing is about....I think your making up your own story as the WD talk with Stecher has been well talked about on 1040. i've been watching other teams play preseason games on NHL network and I can't remember preseason hockey being this good. The new generation of kids are amazing in skating ,energy and skills their pushing for spots on teams, the AHL is going to be really good this year. Funny enough I can confirm the story about his Billet family getting the call from him. He was blown away and excited. he stated exactly what was reported on TMZ 1040 from Willy D. Sometimes, it is easier to take things said on message forums with a grain of salt a smile and a nod instead of just dismissing people out of habit. Penticton isn't a very big town and those that follow the Vees and support them are even smaller. So the circle is pretty tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
