Sautner would be second pairing on the Leafs

We're finally getting to the point where we're going to have to start risking/waiving marginal NHL players/prospects.

Just as everyone has recovered from the Corrado fiasco.

I remember when the team played Markstrom only in the non-televised pre-season games back when we had Miller/Lack just so there was less chance of anyone claiming him off waivers.


Imagine the butterfly effect had some team claimed Markstrom.

I don't know what they had for lunch at camp but I made hot Italian sausage with peppers and mushrooms, the garlic bread is waiting to go into the oven.

I'll look into it. Would be good to have as a keeps sake as well as I never bought a shirt or poster at the show. $55 bucks for a shirt lol

But I'm glad you told me about the themes...great to know.

If you don't have it already snag the Book 'Iron Maiden Album by Album' by Martin Popoff. One of the top music writers today did an album by album account of all their stuff...so well done. A must own for Maiden fans really.

The links were video footage of the show. 2 of which were filmed themselves. Cool vids

Depends on how much time you spend in your car. The radio here is painful, but everything is five minutes from everything else, so you never have to listen to it for long.

interesting.


Sounds about right based on what I've read from Comets fans, although that dude tweeting that OJ's skating looked awesome is an amazing sign, if it's true than I'll feel a lot better about his future.
- Nucker101

Several people have made the comment on OJ's skating now.

I think we both know OJs biggest issue is in his own end. No doubt about his offensive skills . It think the biggest hold back is his play in his own end

Like all our D not named Tanev and Stetcher.

listening to live games or just for talk?

Because there's podcasts out there that are way better than 90% of radio sports talk shows and they're free. I usually listen to a few of them when going for a run or working out.

I'm guessing Howard Stern has podcasts that can be downloaded on your phone as well.

I’d see what you can get for free. Our new work vehicle got Sirius for a year and it was pretty good -some good comedy channels- but I wouldn’t pay for it.

It's garbage and sh*t reception in the Comox Valley.


I guess it depends what you're looking for but it doesn't suit my tastes.

Yum yum

Also, here's how former/current/future Canucks d-men ranked at exiting the zone last year:



1. Myers
2. Benn
3. Stecher
4. Fattenburg
5. Tanev
6. Edler
7. Hutton
8. MDZ
9. Gudbranson
10. Pouliot



Looks like either the Canucks identified a weakness here and addressed it or maybe the system they run is flawed, maybe a combination of both?
- Nucker101

I would agree with this, along with the lack of forward support for outlet passes. Seemed like every game, the defense had trouble finding someone to give the puck to, which either created a poor passing lane, a turnover, the off-the glass and out or an icing.
It is easy to look at a stat and say player x is bad, because this stat says so, but without actually seeing the reason for the cause of that specific stat, it becomes another questionable statistic.

This sounds like what someone would say who doesn't understand statistics...


No stat is useless, it's all about interpreting the why. (North) Americans are fat. Statistics support this. On it's own it's meaningless unless you actually watch what we eat.

The infatuation by some over Zacha as a draft-eligible was mind-boggling to me. He flashed offensive ability but often due to physically dominating. That was never going to transfer to the bigs

His skillset screamed bottom 6

One of the biggest misses of the legendary 2015 crop

----------------------
I've wanted Zacha for cheap for two years now. He probably shouldn't have been drafted at 6th overall. Same as Virtanen. The size factor got the best of the scouts.

I think if they can get him for Sutter or Beagle would be awesome just to clear some cap space.

I also wouldn't use him as a centre in the NHL. I'd put him on the wing. I think his upside is probably still only about 40 points and defensively responsible.

I'm sure QH will be at the top of that list this season. His exit numbers were incredible compared to the rest of the Canucks. Only 5 games I know but he doesnt waste anytime carrying it out and across the oppositions blue line.
