This Pouliot kid has impressed in almost every game he has played. Last night, (I missed 2nd period), he moved puck very well, had good positioning, several takeout and rarely turns the puck over.

Dowd was very noticeable last night too...big time PK guy.

This is Brock and Bo's team now . It is no longer whomever the twins play with are the best line, it is now whomever Brock plays with. I think it is time to let go the reins .

I think Aquilini has to let Linden go before we can move on from them or you're gonna see them for anoither year as insurance.

Lets hope for many more games like last night. I didn't even notice them except for the penalties

It's nice how quick it has happened too. Sedins looked invisible last night vs a very disinterested CHI team...for sure time to let Brock and Bo run the show. 2 wins out of the last 10 games Horvat has been out. Just goes to show the team rolls with him now and the Sedins are a secondary if not third notion. Impossible to trade them so it is what it is. Even with a healthy Horvat we are still a bottom 10 club but things are finally looking up post-Sedins. Pettersson and hopefully Gaudette next year...good draft this new year and maybe next year we can flirt with cracking the top 20.

Damn that Segachev kid looked good for Tampa last night.....stupid Benning

Quick for you maybe I have been waiting since 2012

Ya, he has looked decent. No problem with him and Gaunce being placeholders on 4th line for a couple seasons.
Both are good on PK, have some speed and are a little physical, they just can't score. Lol.

After those playoffs they should've started the rebuild, but oh well, we're here now.

The Russian factor is a real fear for JB at the draft table.

I preferred Sergachev over Juolevi, but what do I know. Most rankings had Juolevi as the best defenseman available.

It's not a two for one

You obviously didn't read the draft year plus 2 hindsight rankings which had juilevii falling in the standings.

I skipped that article as I can just come here for similar reading enjoyment.

Your hindsight isn't as sharp as Hefty. Don't worry, no ones is.

Lefty can't resist a chance to call Benning stupid or an idiot. I am sure he is just jealous that Benning actually made it to the show and he never. Lol

Benning earns 5 X's what Lefty does and he can barely speak. It keeps him up at night

Correct and potato chips will never help your shape

Interesting discussion on Hockeycentral, Cosentino implies that some junior clubs may lose players to Olympics.
MacLean stated teams like Kelowna and Regina may not be to happy about this.
Assuming he meant Kole Lind and Sam Steel. He almost slipped on Kole Lind.

lol me too technically. After the pounding we took by LA in 2012 and the Kesler/Loungo situation mounting, things obviously should have been done then but they hung on and hung to this notion of getting back to the cup final with the majority of that 2011 squad still intact.

Just saying I knew Horvat coming in was going to be the leader we needed eventually, but could not have predicted Boeser going off like this. It's happening quick than I thought and hopefully Pettersson if he make the squad next year goes full Boeser lol

Hell I would have been happy if Boeser got 15 this year.

WTF is going on with attendance at the WJHC's? Are ticket packs insanely priced or what? Was there even 400 at the US/Slovak game ?? lol
