Dump ins need speed & timing. Make D make mistakes in deep. I’ve no problem with it but need puck hounds winning battles or creating turnovers.

i hear the Flying V is making a comeback. Anaheim has almost perfected it.

Game count must be wrong on the chart, the record is what matters
- NorthNuck

We should just trust the chart because they're obviously good with numbers.

God you're a dipshit sometimes. You dump it in to get the Defence to start turning at the blueline. Once they start thinking you're dumping all the time it creates space to carry it in. Then you can do things like fake dumps. Why do you think every Coach on the planet talks about establishing a Forecheck? You're trying to back them up not run right into them.

For someone who feels he knows the game better than everyone else, it appears he's never actually played.

In most cases in sports, you take what the opposition is giving you.

Hopefully Josh is back. If not, hope for a Podz call up.


Nice that Banes got a call up. I bet he looks better come training camp.

I think he'll be back up in April.

He's better off playing all situations and heavy minutes in the A.

That's where the Kings game was so good. They gave very little. We took nothing.

I try so hard with Mini. It's great to have the answers, but without knowing the theory behind them they're pretty much useless.

He deserved the call up, and now he deserves to go back down and take what he learned with him. He'll be better in the long run for it. Good on him for carving it out so far

Hopefully we see a Pod or Raty call up

Along with scouting to exploit weakness. None of that matters if the structure breaks down. 1 player late or outta position.

4gp.
0 points and 4pims.
Glad he got the call up but he was t cutting it.
Fingers crossed for Daks return. Or else it might be Karlsson.

Hopefully they both get a call up at some point.

The coach needs to know what he has before the playoffs.

What do you mean, he was the next Alex Burrows...
Too small and too slow for a 4th line role, which is all he really had a chance at.
AHL Tweener / injury call up at best, IMO

Not quite sweetened enough for me.
- Nighthawk

Necas had 1 good season and floats alot
KK is only considered a top 6 player based on where he was drafted.
and two late 1sts with 1 already picked for you.

6 foot 185 pounds is not too small. Skating does need work though.

All that plus how weak the Canucks would be down the middle.


I hope it happens.

Yes a top / elite C prospect would have to be part of the deal, or a Brady Tkachuk+ would be the only way I would move him.
So all the fuss about Petey is window dressing / bargaining for the new deal. Yes he puts up 100ish (for Vantel) points and has a good defensive game. But he is not a McD, Drai, MacK player so I would stick to my guns if I was PA / JR for the best deal I could get on the contract, 8 x 11. And I would shop that around to the league to see what interest I get for him. Not the best time for this by any means, 20 games left, 1st in the West. However, and nobody has really come from the angle of, What if Petey doesn't really want to be here? Is this similar to the rumoured Bure demand during the 94' run, Trade Me Right (frank)ing Now!

He has chicken legs.

Looks like the wheels are falling off in Van The smoke is clearing and we are now finding out that they are not the team that started fast. It is the old story of the hare and the turtle Quick start then become lazy and cocky All of a sudden the turtle methodical ends up beating the cocky hare

Can we add Brady for the cup run?

Myers-pick-prospect should do it no?
