Cool story.... makes a ton of sense. Maybe shut down the bump train and get some sleep

Not sure how Boeser, Virtanen and Svechnikov are in your list of spearers and sucker punchers.

You have to admit Tkachuk in canucks colors would've been a far more genius-like selection than OJ.

I can picture the dude crawling around in his robe this morning and looking for crumbs with a white pasty snout that he can’t breathe out of and three empty magnums of Royal Red on the counter

At least he is consistent, it has been shown many times that you change your story when it fits your new belief.

Is the book written on Juolevi?

Pettersen scores first goal for Sweden, but let's not talk about Brock or Elias. Let's just talk about not drafting Matthew Tkachuk

Not talking about that. The two guys right now have a problem with the glove hand in the set position.
Seems like something that could be worked on.
Sounds kinda a well duh statement but :idea:

Those 2 are placeholders/draft pick enhancers...

If we had decent goaltending we wouldnt have a hat in the Dahlin sweepstakes

I think he is going to be good I think our power play will be amazing cause he sets up where Henrik does but unlike Hank he plays more like Boeser looking for a one timer he just made a rush where he almost scored on a wraparound...Hit the post

Just between U and Me he is a winger... I know people see center iceman Number 1 but I dunno they are back on the pp with 6:45 left

Ok game is in the books My first time watching him My first time watching Elias my first time watching Live will be thursday I have tickets to two games in the tourney Sweden vs Czechs thursday and the Saturday gamed vs the Swiss...

First impressions I think he is a good player I think our PP in the future is going to be scary with him and Brock on the half wall opposite each other ... It wasn't a great game that had alot of flow I mean Rasmus Dahlin did nothing that screams first overall pick so in that vain 5 on 5 I didn't see 2nd period but what I seen in first and in third he had one great chance on a wraparound where he hit the post in the 3rd...

IMO going forward its going to be interesting how the Canucks have said he is going to be a #1 center iceman when the SEL says with his point totals wing and he is playing the wing here... They no better than I but either somebody has miscalculated or they are holding out hope or this kid is so good that the SEL and WJ team here has said u give us more on the wing... IMO once again I am no expert HE LOOKS REALLY COMFY playing the wing Not saying he wouldn't look that way playing down the middle it just seems he has been ear marked here as Centerman 1...

For an opening game it was a good effort game was sorta disjointed I look forward to seeing him live Thursday...

Never saw the game but watched the Russian Czech game znd can see why Zadina gets top 5 ranking. Necas was very impressive, can't wait to see tbis Quinton Hughes kid.

I can't converse with this kind of nonsense, is there any intelligent life left in your planet, Bubbles? Or is it as barren as northern Manitoba?
