Yes. I'm guessing mid-fifties.

This should help you guys understand why the coach makes the decisions that he makes. This is the new NHL and pretty much all teams are trying to play an uptempo game and everyone including scorers have to at least make an attempt to play 200ft.

Brendan Batchelor on 650

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I laughed so bloody loud!

Ass an asside, the song, the joke, and the gimp are all from the 60’s.

Ass a further asside I don't know why so many people say Robin Gibb was gay, he once had a child with Claire Yang:

A few interesting notes:

"No forward in the NHL plays as much as Brandon Sutter and produces fewer assists" Paterson @ 14:44-15:13:
https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040 ... -1.1246750

Leivo has highest current Canuck SAT (5-on-5) at 37 (NHL.com).

Erik Gudbranson has 7th worst in the league SAT (5-on-5) at minus 198.

Finally for those who think all or most of Goldobin's assists are secondary - half are primary and half are secondary (9 and 9). That is 4th on the team for primary assists - behind Petterson (15), Bo (10) and, surprisingly, Roussel (12).

5:30 to 7pm tonight on Sportsnet, (TV), there is a allstar special with interviews with player and coaches from SJ,
hosted by Kevin Weekes and Jamie Hersch.
I'm sure they'll get Elias in there somewhere.

This is because Sutter plays a ton of minutes... and in defensive situations.

Ancient news...

https://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/ ... gudbranson

"Do analytics give a proper assessment of a player like Gudbranson" - Debate topic around the hockey world for the last 5 years.

I've personally read a half-dozen major threads on the matter involving fans around the league since we acquired him (google it!)

Tallon loved Guds in Florida, then the analytics folks bumped him out and traded Guds (and others).

That didn't work out so well, so now Tallon is back in charge and wants Guds back (and others).

And around and around and around it goes...

Who cares, Goldobin SUCKS!! :lol:
