Scum bag Tkapuke isn't anywhere the player Iginla was, or never will be. 

I completely agree.

 

What I’m alluding to, is some games Iginla was quiet, until someone hit him, then he woke up and played hard. With scum bag, if you take the bait, he wakes up and pesters even worse. With both players, if you ignore, they seem less effective.

 

I still want Bo to crush his face though.

Head coach of the flames protecting poor Marky and pulling him during a tv time out. Didn’t want to hurt Markys feelings.

This was pre game....I missed it.  He's going to be a beast for us...I feel it.

This was my takeaway from the game that even though there was lots of good stuff going on I most appreciated the steady work of OJ. Steady is the word, and as he gains confidence he will grow. Perhaps an Edler type? He doesn’t seem to be a massive ego but I did like that flicker of a smile as he recalled the big check on Tkachuk in the last game. He is definitely looking more like a first rounder. And a keeper!

Not surprised anymore about the predictable knee jerk reactions to the play of LE but, holy crap, there’s too many knee jerk reactions to LE after this game! I’m not suggesting he gets nominated for a Selke but this continual boring take on his play is completely without imagination!

 

I recall one questionable clearance in the first period and an awkward icing in the  second when he caught his line mates completely unaware but other than that he delivered a solid defensive effort, suppressing chances, positioning and angling and almost always on the right side of the puck.

I get it. Fun to get the digs in. 6 shmillions etc etc

[Silky mitts]

Can’t believe we drafted jake virtanen

Marky yelling at them from the door during the presser....lmao.

OJ played 19 mins minus 1 second

Hughes 18 mins plus 1 second

 

Schmidt edler myers OJ were top 4 in toi

Juolevi went from being a bust to a top 4 Dman in less than a year.  Go figure.

I literally watched him at 3:03 left in the third give up and coast on the back check which led to a great scoring chance for Calgary

[WHL rocks]

Holtby filling in leadership role on team.

 

He'll be great for Demko in the long run.

Random thought: for all the “Boeser for Dumba” hubbub that’s exactly why you go out and spend a few bucks on Myers.  Hard to find top-4 RHD who can add a few points.  
 

Myers’ contract might be a little steep.. but he didn’t cost any assets.  Tough to even draft a top 4 RHD without taking a pretty big gamble with your 1st and even then it takes time.

The principal thing that convinced me Juolevi was a good pick - even if 'risky' - is that his bread and butter is his hockey intelligence (about as 'safe' a basis as there is imo).

 

He may have been slight - but the brain is the most important 'muscle'.

And your prediction held up!   Good job!

Thanks Deb.  I had a good feeling about tonight and the boys came through.  A lot of positives tonight. Schmidt getting of the Schnied, Horvat, Boeser, Hughes. 

And maybe the biggest plus was Holtby playing his best game as a Canuck and setting the friendly challenge bar for Demko to reach.

 

Just a great night, and a big reset for the team.

 

PS.  Sorry Tanev and Markey but you guys are now stuck over there. Lol.

Yup.

 

Injuries held him back. He finally got some rest , recovered and now playing like the player he is..

 

Sky is the limit for this kid.

Could anyone make out what Marky was yelling?

Lovely win 

And nice to see Ward make the same mistake with Marky as Green did.

Absolutely - and he was always touted as the guy who would take a little longer even before he ran into injury trouble.  
 

19 minutes tonight has to be his season high... been great to see him finally break into the league.
