If I were to guess I'd say that he had to show what he had during preseason so he went out on a 75% knee, showed well but re injured. The truth is likely somewhere in between, like this you said.

The old hotel burn down in early 1990s was like super old and had the best food. We used to play hockey against grandforks and trail and beaver valley and castlegar good times my hometowns kettle valley near rock creek and midway Wow, where did you get ice? My son's minor hockey teams from PeeWee to Midget went to GF. 2 1/2 hours from Creston. Those young kids saw no value in borscht. They wanted those A&W burgers! Orion still puts out good borscht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuktravella Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 deadmarsh played on beaver valley against us in bantam or midget in mid 90s the tournies in osoyoos and castlegar were the best. I got scouted by tacoma rockets as a shutdown center crazy when my dad died i was looking through his papers and there was a tacoma rocket head of scouting card and phone number of the same douche bag that got charged with sheldon kennedy and theo fleury incidents. Sorta crazy that that guy talked to my dad bout me playing in tacoma i dropped my jaw when i saw that card messed up ehhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B Cooper Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Grand Forks. We always played midway. The big tournaments in castlegar where a blast. Except when you get stuck playing in the old rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatedkid666 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Its been frustrating for us as fans to We were all real excited to see what he could do and then he got hurt. He is someone that bring some much needed offence into our lineup and hopefully even out the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up but I'm hoping for a domino effect if he comes in and performs well. Hopefully it can push players into more comfortable areas and take the pressure of some guys to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I fear expectations for Rödin are way too high. He has never played in the NHL, so despite being 26 years of age he is a rookie. He is not used to the physicality, the speed, the systems. His highest point total in the AHL was 27 (10 goals). In 12 international appearances he has got no goals, one assist. Apart from a few preseason games he has been out for half a year after a severe knee injury (severed tendon) that may heavily influence his skating ability. It will take him more time than 2 AHL games to be ready. I wish him all the best and hope that he'll go on a tear, but realistically I would expect him to struggle mightily at the beginning and wouldn't be disappointed if it takes him 20+ games to find his rhythm. He is not going to turn around the Canucks season single-handedly. WD will have to give him sheltered minutes, probably with some powerplay time. Hopefully he proves me wrong...

canuckledraggin Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I predict he will be playing with the Sedins before the end of January. He's going to be the Swedish Burrows that they clicked with many moons ago. Tomorrow is going to be his 1st game in a long time so it's going to be interesting to see where his game is at.

That's actually along the lines of what I'd like to see. By the TDL and whatever happens by then, put him with the Sedins and drop them timewise to second or even third line 5v5 minutes (they will still get the bulk of PP time). Share primary 5v5 tiime between the other two main lines -- Sven/Bo/Burrows and Hansen/Sutter/Eriksson/Granlund. It's nearing time to flip the switch, and it should be done if we're out of the playoff picture come that time. That also helps prepare the deck for Jake and Brock to come in next year and get us over the transition hump to where the yutes are the primary drivers of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats nice that you still have hope for Jake, I've joined the side of thinking he's going to live in the AHL and was a bust pick. Boeser I'm dumping all my dreams on, maybe Gaudette a little bit too. Hoping Rodin gets a hatty tonight! Edited December 14, 2016 by shad0w4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
