I really didn't have time to search for the proof but in the end it was a lot easier than bickering. It's all small potatoes when you look at the big picture. We got great value for what was a 3rd round pick 7 months ago. Textbook case of pick the BPA and you can always move them for what you need in the future. Will be interesting to see if he signs with Calgary, even though they are our rivals I would hate to see the kid pull a fox 2.0 on them. Sweet irony if he doesn’t sign with them either.

Gawdzukes Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 13 hours ago, stawns said: Anyway. .......whether he tried to sign or wanted out, I bet the canickx felt he wasn't going to transfer his skillset to the NHL as well as many thought. This is what I've felt for awhile too. Remember all the lineups with Subban in them and he was supposed to be what Hughes is now? While I really love how many points he's getting the amount of time he spends weaving around opponents who are sprawled on the ice is quite unusual. Don't' get me wrong it's impressive and he has a nice really great anticipation, puck carrying skills, poise and passing ability but it's hard to envision in the pro game. A lot of it seems as if he is just jumping up after their high powered offence has left the opposition exhausted, desperate, and laying on the ice. I haven't seen in much in terms of strong play in his own end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty awesome. So well done ... I'm sure you can skip the psychedelic part although that just makes it more vivid. I had the CD on pause at the start and waited for the 3rd roar of the MGM lion, and hit play. The rest is magic 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're struggling without you. Down to a workout at the fieldhouse, date night at the forestry farm, and a drive down Smurfy crescent to see the Christmas decorations. Also, big news is the one guy that spends $10,000 every year on his lawn and a lightshow choregraphed to Nickelback on CKOM, or someone equally as bad. That's in the summer though. The roads today are absolutely insane. Haven't seen anything this bad in quite a while. Been freezing rain falling on and off for a day or two. You can't go more than 5km an hour and if you so much as touch the brakes you just go flying off in anyone of 8 directions, usually exactly sideways.

Security on the backdoor has tightened considerably. Other than that exactly nothing has changed in 30 years. Hah. Still going strong, one of my best friends from high school is the head bartender.

So when the big one hit i kind of thought it was an inner ear vertigo kind of thing. It was a soild4 hours of not knowing up from down and puking. But given the cscan I thought I was ok. All things considered I got lucky, im functioning pretty well and my brain is working well......my speech is slow and sounds like I'm drunk Feels like I both lost and won on the same lottery ticket Hope you and @Ghostsof1915 are recovering well.

I just got out of hospital after a couple weeks (same age as you) with some random internal infection that turned into sepsis and was a few hours from me being on a ventilator and multi organ failure before it got sorted. I think we need to clarify, we want the team to win and also not die prematurely… 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wonder what happened behind the scenes, whether he was a fit off the ice, etc. As much as I was concerned with losing a 190lb teenager who has a heap of points in the OHL while playing D, I'm a bit relieved to hear that most of his points are secondary assists on a solid overall team. He's still no doubt a very good prospect that we lost, but it stings a little less and it won't sting at all if Lindholm is a great fit for this year and years to come.

But struggling to backcheck is not good when you're trying to keep pucks out of the net. I wish him luck. But there's already speculation that Calgary might even flip him at the deadline. Hopefully its to a team he wants to be be with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stings less if Lindholm resigns with the team. If we lose him for nothing, and we don't win the Cup. Then we sent five players to a divisional rival with nothing to show for it. Management better have plan B, C, and D moving forward to fill the roster and prospect pool. A part of me wonders if this year is a one off. Like, we caught lightning in a bottle if you will, where just about every single player on the team is having career years. Does this occur again next season? or is it simply a one off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he scores 40 - 50 goals in Calgary but puts up goose eggs playing the Canucks, I'll be ok with that. I hope he regains his scoring touch, he's def NHL calibre 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
