Save some $$ and salary cap. Gives him meaningful games in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks need a bombastic, self-centric, narcissistic, take-no-prisoners type of leader so that other teams will know not to phuck with the Canucks. IF Woodley's assumption that the Blues were pissed about the plans for Dipietro and the Canucks/Comets management capitulated, then it's time for the Aquilinis to get someone like Burkie back at the helm. The Canucks need someone who is going to flip tables over and will opposing teams to "see it the Canucks way". Fully agreed... Gillis was hated by everyone around the league LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I got to see Michael develop into both a better goalie and a fine young man during his time with the Comets. I really appreciate his comments about his stay in our city towards the end of the interview. Treat him well in Abbotsford and Vancouver. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utica has proven itself as the premier place to play in the AHL. A team could not ask for better fans. Wishing the city and the new franchise much success in the years ahead. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate his comments about his stay in our city towards the end of the interview. Treat him well in Abbotsford and Vancouver. We intend to treat all the former Comets well, and will be forever grateful for the care and support the Utica community showed for our developing young players. It’s really bittersweet seeing the team move. I’m in the Vancouver area, so Abbotsford means that I can watch the AHL team live now, which I’m excited about, but I’m also really going to miss Utica. Wish you guys the best with New Jersey, and we’ll always have a soft spot in our hearts for any AHL team in Utica, even though it’s affiliated with another NHL organization. And agreed about DiPietro. He’s always been an impressive young man, with high character, but it’s clear that Utica rubbed off well on him, and helped him grow and mature into an even more respectable chap, and one who truly appreciated the support and hospitality of your community and fan base. Well done. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of feel the league and talent agents also think he's a pushover like Elmer Fudd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 DiPietro is backing up Adin Hill for Team Canada against the Germans. Canada playing horribly so far in the tourney and again reflecting again in the first period as they trail 2-0. We may see DiPietro given a game as Hill and Kuemper haven't given them saves.

Canada was never gonna win the tournament this year. No Canadians wanna go over there during a pandemic unless it’s their one shot to play for team Canada. Hopefully Mikey gets a game but that is just not a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team still has enough skill to win games. And I'm dumbfounded at how little attention their performance is getting - we're tied with Italy in the group stage!

Yes they can still win some games but this is not a good team. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t win a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The Americans actually have fewer decent NHLers than we do. Looks like Canada will get relegated to the B pool for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised if Jim's number is on speed dial because you know that idiot will overpay. Agent: My client (4th liner) wants 5 million X 5 years Jim Benning: Thats a bit too much, we are up against the cap, we can maybe do 4.9 million per... Agent: Done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
