Well, we tend to get a run to the finals once every 12 years (approx), so we still a bit a way. :P

Sedins are good, we got great 3rd/4th line depth, nice blend of youth and vets, the backbone Miller.

Just our secondary scoring is in the crapper and this team has never had an elite defense in it's history.

Our best defense at one time had Dave Babych, Lumme, Brown.

The next best D incl. Edler/Ehrhoff/Bieksa/Salo.

And in both those cases those teams went to the Cup finals............but alas nobody likes to draft dmen in this franchise, or make bold moves to trade for a high caliber type. :mrgreen:

uber defense

Miller
Yeah just grab that uber defence out of your ass . Jesus Christ . They have 2 or 3 functioning d men but mix in a Hamonic and a Keith/ Doughty and maybe a Josi and we are fucking set right buds?

Just three high end d men and a couple horses up front and we are gold .

Hattrick by Anton Rödin tonight. Leading SHL with 28 points in 20 games

Hope the Canuck scouts hadn't left already.... last week he had like one point in three games. An off-week.

Good to know he's not injured badly, yup those swedes take eons to develop, but he could be another late bloomer. :thumbs:
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Or he could just be one of those players that thrives in a system where there is much less clutch and grab, and more ice to work with. There are plenty of highly skilled players in the European leagues that can't make the jump to the NHL because of the boring way the North American game is officiated.

I was like, "Hey God, that was a *$&^#@! hypothetical question!"

He probably just replied, "Rats' eternal sunshine of the spotless mind will make you feel better."

Thanks Ratsky. I'm looking forward to seeing all-new fuckups... wahoo.

Given your choice of language, it obviously bothers you so why not share your knowledge of the player and why you think he doesn't have the ability to play 5 or so minutes tonight?

Sorry, but I have to shake my head at the notion that you would waste any time worrying about a call up given how poorly the teams top 4 has played this year...

Let's just cross the fingers that Edler and Tanev and Hamhuis play like NHL regulars, let alone top 4 regulars...

Take care...

Ratster, maybe The Ster just doesn't understander humer. Perhaps he has shaken his head so much he can't comprehender.

All this fingster-wagging and being such a judgster over choice of language on these here goddamn message boards make him seem like he's never been a funster.

But you have to appreciate that he would waste his time being a worryster over you wasting time worrying. After all, why worry about someone else fucking up over 5 minutes a night when most men can fuck up and have a smoke in less than 30 seconds a night?

Anyway, have you ever considster making him a moderatester? We would have never had to put up with the Dudester's shenanigans for 2 years.

Take care... Ratster.
