Post-Game Talk: Cascadians 5, Calgarians 1: Schroeder scores his first (and his second)

LOL Ron MacLean suggested that Burrows might get a chance at making the team Canada roster in 2014.
Sure Ron, keep on trying to repair that bridge you burned.

(he also said that Hamhuis - Bieksa might be a good pairing to have)

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Wish Luongo would keep starting, he has a good shot at the Vezina this season.

I hope so too. He definitely deserves at least one in his career.

 

[Zammer]

There better not be a shootout tonight since Kiprusoff isn't playing

Mitchell is a very intense guy. I would hazard to guess that he just doesn't have an off switch; game, practice, it doesn't matter - he competes in the same way, which can of course result in things like that.

That intensity lead to some "good crazy" moments too - there was an amazing snapshot taken during a scrum in the 2007 playoffs against Anaheim. The look on his face was pure insanity. I wish I could find it (I have tried, without success)

Exactly,

Mitchell is still close with most of the players here and actually practiced with them all summer.

He was just a competitive guy in practice and got in a few mild skirmishes.

He left because the Canucks didn't want to take a risk on his concussion. That's is basically all it was.

Why is Booth skating? Has it been 4 weeks? Seems pretty quick and I don't want them rushing this guy. Avoiding a set back or further injury has to be the priority with Booth.

It's been 3.5. He wasn't expected to be back playing games for 4-6 weeks. Skating with the team 3-4 days before originally being expected to return seems like on schedule to me.

Trying too hard Ron.

ooo snap. looks like grabovski? bit a page out of burrows' book!!!!

anyone else watching this?! I think they said it was grabovski. pacioretty is raging as he walks down the tunnel. now those leafs fans can shove it when they rip on burr.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

Hammer-Weber FTW

Canada is heavy on Right shot defenseman at the top, Hamhuis plays a very smart, safe game and has good skating skills, having a player like that on the team makes a lot of sense. He is still a longshot to make the team though.

If you see any Toronto writers defending or excusing the Grabovski bite, google them and see what they said about Burrows.

Unless your Jeff patterson and you try to create drama by misreading and extrapolating a quote from Booth to mean he needs season ending surgery...

I heard it was life threatening season ending groin surgery...

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Finally!

I'm sure a little Deer antler spray will fix him right up.

 

[luongo321]

I have a feeling that the canucks are going to blow them out. can't wait.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Now after the Habs got utterly annihilated. Time to watch something hopefully better.

 

[deadinthewater]

Rogers arena sucks.

 

[Zack Kassian]

audio for the game is so low...

 

[Flik]

Hooray Hughson tonight!

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Do post them on the main board thread. It'd be great fun to see Leaf fans try and defend it.

 

[Nuckles]

Hey Hughson, how are you doing? It's been a while. We missed you.
<3

 

[Zammer]

Getting Hughson is kind of a catch-22 -- we also have to listen to Craig Simpson

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

So it's gonna be one those games, refs? Joy.
