The Canucks can suck one.

Backlund said Van Brabant's name more correctly than Van Brabant did when that video came out on the Flames site about him.

-Dutch person

Thats because Backlund is a gentleman and a scholar.

Id be more mad, if I didn't feel bad for them. They are Flames circa 2011.

We did the same thing when Byron boarded Daniel.

We did the same thing when Byron boarded Daniel.

I wasn't a part of this board when that happened. I was however confused on how Byron was able to land a hit like that with a player way bigger than him. I didn't think he had that much in him to do such a thing.

DAMN STRAIGHT





It happens in every fan base. Try not to make a bigger deal then what it has to be. Although I remember the board blowing up at the time when Byron hit Sedin.

Ah the hatred will never get old between us.

Guilty as charged.

 

[Lunatik]

Guilty as charged.

I'm actually innocent, I called out Byron since I had seen him do it before.

Canucks could have played better imo

Very fun tournament to watch, we have some potential promising forwards but I am not sold on our defense. I think brad and company needs to build it up more. Furthermore, I feel we dont have a high end defenceman

Wotherspoon and Sieloff both have 2-3 potential. One didn't play and the other played his first 2 games in a year.

After that I don't think anyone has more than bottom pairing potential. I see Kanzig and Kulak being able to reach that, but I don't expect Culkin or Ramage to ever be NHL regulars. I don't think Roy will even make it in the AHL.

 

[SickHandsNoShot]

Steinberg is the colour guy, it's the PBP guy that has been saying all the stupid ****

I think you are either confused about the difference between PBP and colour guy, or are just forgetting who was doing what...

Steinberg did PBP
Canucks guy did Colour commentary tonight.



I agree though that he was a moron. Kept saying Calgary was sweeping the tourny....

I don't understand how you can say this after he went at 0.67ppg last year in the WHL. He is at least good as an offensive defenseman, and that's what he was drafted to be.

I think his development is going to take a lot of time - at least four years before he even sees NHL ice, and then more as he splits time between the AHL and the NHL - but it's too early to say that a top offensive defenseman in junior and someone who had even been projected as high as a first or second round pick early in his draft year wouldn't make it to the AHL.

Points for a defenseman mean absolutely zero when a pylon plays better defense than him. Roy is a horrible defenseman with some offensive skills, unless he learns to play defense or becomes a forward he is not even going to make it as an AHL defenseman.

Curious as to why you think Kulak's potential is so low. He's the best skater of the D prospects (aside from maybe Hickey?), and far and away the best offensively. He just needs to improve defensively and mature a little overall, and I don't see anything keeping him from being a top 4 dman in the NHL.

Tell that to Erik Karlsson, James Wisniewski, Kris Letang, Matt Niskanen, Andrej Sekera, Marek Zidlicky, Mike Green and our own Dennis Wideman. Offensive defenseman is as much a niche as stay-at-home defenseman. By the same logic, there's no reason to have defensively-minded forwards with average point totals like Mathieu Perrault or Craig Smith simply because they're not performing the primary purpose of their position. Maybe we shouldn't pick up shot-blockers like Lance Bouma or Ladislav Smid, either, or faceoff specialists like Manny Malhotra or Paul Gaustad...

You only bolded what you wanted to see/hear. He didn't say points were useless, he was just saying that until Roy can play better defence than a pylon in his own zone he can score as many points as he wants, it won't change how bad he is.

Some guys you mentioned are not the strongest in their zone but they at least they know where to go and know what to do. After that you go on with nonsense.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Roy would be a decent forward prospect imo.

I think I started saying this not long after he was drafted.
