Rush17 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Typically player availability is same day. But given the Sedins retirement it may be different this season. Trying to track down date / time of players availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids ripping it up in their respective leagues, Boeser being even better than expected, the torch being passed, Virtanen finally getting it. Lots of positives to take away from this season compared to last. We've hit rock bottom and are starting to climb again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was, Green gets to forge ahead with some determined and excited youth, and our farm, prospect pool is becoming something very positive. I don’t think the franchise has ever looked this promising at the AHL level. Im excited to see how Utica fairs in the playoffs, seems like they will get a couple of additions... Not taking anything from Utica, but boy I wish they were based out of Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya its weird, we aren't exactly where we want to be picking considering we lost most of the year but it does feel like a good year! Growth of players such as Virt, Brock and goldy has been exciting and we've had a lot of amazing prospects to watch! Exciting year coming thats for sure!

California has seen a big growth with franchises in San Diego, Stockton, Ontario, *San Jose and Bakersfield. Meanwhile San Jose, Winnipeg and Toronto have their clubs in their hometowns. Our club could fit nicely into the Pacific Division of the AHL playing out of Vancouver ( Coliseum or Rogers ) or Langley. I know I would attend more than a few games depending where they would play out of..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably better for our kids to focus on playing hockey and not answering stupid questions from our media though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, at least, that's how it appears. With our prospects ripping it up, there's reason for hope. With a coach both knows what he's doing and how to keep players in line, I think we'll see some success in the not to distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Without full fledged HOF's anymore, our team has to be more workmanlike in their approach every game. Have 4 lines in a full court press strategy. Skill and speed combined with bulldog tenacity. Rolling 4 lines and wearing down opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 2 hours ago, -AJ- said: Weirdly enough, this season feels like a success. Feels mostly successful because of how kids played in other leagues more than the main team. Imo. Lol. I mean, positive that we'll get a fairly high pick I guess. I'd rather be eagerly awaiting playoff games than waiting for draft lottery day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
