One has nothing to do with the other. I guess they are both tall and both played in Winnipeg :?
Myers 18 points this season $6 million
Laine 18 points this season $6.75 million

Isn’t Laine supposed to rack up points or is Myers playing above himself with 5 goals 13 assists?

Nice article on Tyler Graovac. Wearing #44, the big fella is our new Bertuzzian project. :P

Baubles MS compares a failed forward sniper to a stay at home defenceman.

The guy not looking good on the Vancouver d is 88. Glimpses of what he can do followed by long periods of inconsistent to poor play.

Poor baubles MS, he dearly misses his lil trojan.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

I didn’t make the comparison you senile old coot. Christ is someone cutting up your food for you these days? You make as much sense as Gomer107.

I agree. What have these bumbling fool coaches done to one of the better 2 way dmen in the league over the past few years? How can they possibly have affected that level of negative change in such a short span?

Nate doesn't get to be much of a two-way D-man under Green. He's practically had to reshape his game. There is more to this player than we have seen here to date. Right from training camp, he was taken back by the way the Canucks were running drills. Not what he'd been use to seeing I guess.

I wonder why he doesnt like the collapse and flail method of defensive zone coverage

Mikey Dipietro somehow, despite playing three games in the past year plus, has been added to Team Canada's roster for the upcoming world's.

GM Luongo must like the kid :D

@KevinisInGoal; wasn't surprised by the Team Canada call up for Mikey DiPietro, however his AHL usage did surprise him.

Kevin joined ThePeoplesShow @SatiarShah earlier to talk about the DiPietro plan & Ian Clark

Full interview: https://sportsnet.ca/650/peoples-show/k ... velopment/
Mike DiPietro, did not get enough work in this year and that's a shame because if, by any chance, the team decided to move on from Holtby or if he was selected by Seattle, DiPietro will have to develop on the fly.

No, that is what I surmised watching all the preseason video and interviews available.

Patrick Johnston @risingaction
Just talked to Mike DiPietro. Story coming tomorrow. But he had some thoughts about Ian Clark and what he's meant to him for the last two years. Also had plenty of praise for Curtis Sanford's work in Utica.

He'll fly with Team Canada teammates to Latvia from Newark on Sunday

Asked Mike DiPietro about his hopes for Ian Clark to stay around with the Canucks next year.

The Blues goalies get three of the last four starts for the Canucks farm team while Dipietro sits. Doesn't play all year and then sits and watches another organization's goalie play the last few games for his organization's farm team in Utica. If we're not the worst organization in pro sports I'd like to see what is, this is just embarrassing,

Our spirit animal must be the jellyfish, not the killer whale. Jeezus.

Wow...just wow. Why have they been trashing on this kids development like that? Is there a reason? Is Utica bitter about Van leaving?
