    at one point yesterday, there was 5 joes in the chat. joe kerr, joe king , joe max, joey joe joe jr, and some kid from smithers.

      But the party is just not a party without that Smither's cat.

    still love to see us sign soderstrom to a 2 way contract.

    play him in abby till he maximizes his talents.

    i have a good feeling about him.

      I think going home to Sweden to play Pro (and if he excels there) have teams bid on him when his contract is up, might be a more attractive option for him in his eyes?

    who might the canuck's trade for d help? besides poolman's contract.

      Podkolzin?

      Why would it be helpful to trade him? 

      He wouldn't offer any cap relief and his value would only be as a someday hopeful.

      Hoglander on the other hand has shown he can step into a lineup and produce at a super low number. This could be the perfect opportunity to get high value for him (like a Broberg?) while Podz hopefully rounds back into form to be a valuable piece within 1-2 years.

      Good question. I think it will be a case of too many bodies and too few spots. Podkolzin is clearly in a dogfight to nail down a roster spot. If he can't and they have to send him to Abbotsford, he'd have to clear waivers and I don't think he would. So, if he doesn't show enough to earn a spot in Vancouver, I believe it would be better to trade him than lose him on waivers. But I openly admit that I could be completely wrong about this and maybe he gets a tryout in the top six and fills the net. Don't think so, but who knows?

      I don't think so either, but it's fun to dream!

    i can't remember how poolman played when he was healthy.

    was he offensive or defensive, neither or both? no memory.

      More of a defensive guy IIRC. I seem to recall him handling the puck like a live grenade.

    when has this management team ever leaked out what they are thinking? i don't believe it. i think they'll move poolman's contract, acrue some savings and then add to roster later in the season.

      I remember in prehistoric times, when I think CKNW had the Comedy Spot every Sunday afternoon, and have I fond memories of Bob Newhart,made us laugh with his one-sided telephone conversational humour. It was uncanny how he did his routine and you could almost hear what the person on the other end was saying. I think his album was called the Buttoned Down Mind of Bob Newhart, or something like that. Never told an off-colour joke that I ever heard.

      One memorable episode of The Bob Newhart Show, he was asked to speak at a nudist colony.

      His level discomfort was just hilarious. When he gets back to the office Jerry and Carol are discussing and chuckling at Bob being at a nudist colony. Then as the end credits run, You see his, tie, shirt, pants all fly out into the reception area.

    washington is over 4 mil over the cap. 2.5 mil on ltir would give them a chance to knock 2.5 off their over the cap amount.
  12. smithers joe
    washington could use the cap space. poolman for future consideration.

    is mcinnis the new burnam?

      He's younger, a Canadian, and probably the best receiver in the CFL this year.

      He's amazing! I just hope whatever was bothering him (cramping?) isn't something more serious. He's really clutch and some of those catches in double coverage are incredible.

      "I'd much prefer not have a defenceman who can't play defence". 

       

      Maybe that's why Shultz chose Oilers over Canucks before, as the Oilers think the opposite of you  😜

      Just a reminder that he won back-to-back Stanley Cups so slagging off his defensive game is pretty silly. He is, at least, competent.

       

      We need a veteran, right-sided puck mover. So I like this move.

      The fact they haven't nabbed him yet makes me think they have something else up their proverbial sleeve. I wouldn't have had a problem with bringing him in to play third pair minutes though personally.

    i love being considered under dog, untill we bite them in the butt on our way up.
  19. smithers joe
    when is there going to be an update?
  20. smithers joe
    for me it's stan smyl. he was an all around excellent player. he had all the traits that i love. he was a goal scorer, playmaker, gritty for a small man, 200 ft player, a great captain and a team player. he was a heart and soul type player. took this team on his back so many times. linden would be second on my list.

      ...or JRPA are trollolololling us by holding off signing him until closer to preseason.  Because they know we'll generate a lot of discussion about it... :frantic::frantic::frantic:

      maybe the agent is trying to really milk the playoff performance?

      Most likely it's about the money.  It always is.  I can see Silovs wanting $2 million and Allvin offering $1 million.  They might split the difference at $1.5 million.  Still gives us some money left over to get another forward or Dman.

    fans are calling forbot and desharnais as turn over machines but in the same breath say they were excellent penalty killers. how do those 2 statements, compute?

      ^ what they said, plus "turn over machine" is more a function of transitional play (ie. moving from defensive zone to attack the opposition) and attacking (ie. keeping control of the puck in the offensive zone), while penalty killing is all about reducing or squashing the chances the opposition gets in attacking the net.  They're not mutually exclusive. :classic_wink:

      the stats don't back that up whatsoever: https://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?report=realtime&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20232024&seasonTo=20232024&gameType=2&position=D&sort=giveawaysPer60&page=0&pageSize=50

       

      they are just fine in terms of giveaways per 60.

      Fans also said we need to have more of our in-house developed guys in the lineup yet want to trade Hoglander.

       

      Fans also said we need a good young top right-handed defenseman yet wanted to trade him when we got one.
