Indeed it is. Once got nailed in the forehead at 60mph on my m/c. Was dazed. Rhino picked himself up and flew off.

For all the hatred for the Motte and to a lesser extend Leipsic additions... I would much rather see these younger guys get a chance vs seeing us ice Megna and Chaput like he had to do not long ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just Kassian that wore it before him? Or did Hodgson wear it as well? Hodgson, Roy in recent memory. But not to worry it'll be Evander Kane's this summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2018 Part of me loves that he can get under the skin of other players but also play the game with skill. IMO once, Gaudette is signed, would love to see Leipsic-Gaudette duo. Both their individual skill, relentless two-way effort, and swagger might be a good match up due in the future. Our new Burrows-Kesler?---add a Lockwood and you got one hell of chippy line making our new Burrows-Kesler-Hansen checking line of 2009-10 season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what sort of shooting percentage he has but I bet it is very low as apparently he gets lots of shots on goal (posts and crossbars too...and they don't count as shots) and he only has a couple of goals so something seems out of place. Perhaps the dam will burst for him. Clearly given CHL and AHL he knows how to score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckleheads fan Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 On 2/26/2018 at 4:08 PM, Kevin Biestra said: I'm talking more about not even playing them in the NHL before trading them. I assume you're really talking about Subban. Well if these DMen could play in the NHL then the Canucks would keep them. I think the OP was probably right, Holm projects to no more than a 3rd pairing DMan. Our biggest loss was not being able to keep Sbisa, who is having a great year in Vegas on their first pairing. Fortunately, there are two or three younger guys in Utica and of course OJ who all probably have more long-term upside than Holm. Besides, maybe in Leipsic JB sees something of a young Brad Marchand or Alex Burrows, two agitators who were great at getting opponents off their game and who didn't develop offensively until they'd been in the league for a few years. I think that was the plan for Dorsett, who appeared to be really be coming into his own offensively when he had to retire. I suspect JB is eyeing some undrafted NCAA DMen (lately, Stecher has been one of our best players), or maybe some younger undrafted euros (somebody who's playing with Pettersson, Dahlin or OJ?) or maybe the plan is to load up on DMen in the draft. He has a plan and will make it work. JB is still filling up the cupboard, but already we surely have the deepest talent pool we've ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
