Anyone know this Russian guy, Putin? He was skating through guys and scoring like 85 Gretzky. He's not big but he commands so much room out there. Be a great pick up.

Skating is very average at best

I don’t know how Green can coach a team of this caliber lacking top notch players like Petey. Honestly can’t blame him for what he has to work with

The teams systems were bad with Petey.

 

Lots of good coaches adapt with average rosters and find a way to at least not get outshot and outworked every game.

How do you not understand the point... Just how ridiculous are u... Its like saying, your boss offers you $1000 bonus but you are like no no no I rather have a $100 bonus... 

8th or 12th c’mon. Who cares. Lots of players fall or get overlooked. Busts happen all the time. Steals happen as well. What the point? I don’t get it. It’s the same thing every year and we usually do pretty good. Rather see a couple smiles on the ice then the horse poop that is tanking 

[Patrik Laine]

Where the hell is gadjovich. Where in zeus's butthole is he? Why must green prove time and time again that he is the worst of the worst. How do I know this? Well aquaman will never dish out the money for a quality coach he is too cheap and needs to sell the team to a real billionaire. Bezos? 

[rekker]

Frik OJ. This reminds me of when I watched him in Penticton. He has to up his intensity and speed up his play.

Do you think they'll shift Pearson out though? I have my doubts. That's ideal if somebody can play left. 

In likelihood, probably not. I think we'll still see Pearson there with Horvat.

You'll be thankful if we can draft Clarke at 5th overall. If u get all 8 points, you'll prob draft like 12th overall... HUGE difference. 

okay magic 8 ball.

When Putsy yells for a pass, you make that pass.

[yes we can nucks]

Too much shilling here lately for S and A. You guys work for them?

Imagine someone watching hockey for the first time and tuning into this game.

Gaudreau has been playing too much NHL 21. There is a glitch goal that works from that angle.

I’m reading Brian Burke’s book right now and I’m on the part where Pat Quinn was hired to be GM and Burkie was brought in as assistant GM. Those two guys, while learning on the fly, really brought the Canucks out of the wilderness and into contention

 

Those were the days.

Those were the days when Quinn was told to call Gretzky in the middle of the night asking him to sign the contract.

Go to the Olli Juolevi thread in the Current Roster section. Dude in there calls OJ an “elite skater”.

Podz is a 6'4, over 200lb teenager. I think he will be a bit more than Hoglander 2.0, although one of the things he is known for is his tenacity much like Hoggy.

6'4" is inaccurate.
