He's a young guy, but he does need to work on that. Need's a solid summer of working out and honing his skills.

Yeah I just thought he had played like 50 games this year not 75. I don't think he will be playing as a winger. Too bad he wasn't on a 2-way, could be playing with utica.

Completely random and without going to look for the answer. How many games did Linden Vey play this year?
- manvanfan


There's a great example of coaches who prefer THEIR guys.

If JB could do it all over again-- It would have been much better to keep that pick.

FWIW-- All the seasoning in the world won't help VEY until he gets stronger. That's a training and conditioning issue.

Not arguing, will be going to Reno for the Air Races in Sept.
- VanHockeyGuy


The Air Races are a great time. I haven't been in about 7 years. We have a good friend that has a hangar at the Stead Airport. They have a huge BBQ and front row seats. It's a great time for all.

That crash a few years ago was just awful.

See this is something that puzzles me....how is it that players would need to wait till summer when they are off and not playing to hone any skills? The practice of playing and doing drills is all about improving. Usually it makes you more proficient at what you do. Seems really backwards.

He needs to work on his strength, go on a Gary Roberts type program. Improve on face-offs. WD likes him, you can make an argument that he probably played more than he deserved. There will be pressure on him to perform next year.

Plus it's really hard to gain weight / muscle during the season. Those are off season chores.

You would have hoped that he could have been sent to utica to hone his faceoff and defensive skills in a league where he can actually do that. Instead of the NHL where if you can't do those things you will just get beat by better players. A call up when they had injuries and sent back down to play top minutes.

It's good that they got a few days to practice with the team before the first game. Making Gaunce a healthy scratch helped his game it seems. 2 goals in his return back to the line up.
Gaunce, shinkaruk, McCann, virtanen, baerstchi, Pedan, corrado, Hutton. Lol who else am I missing for vans young prospects
