I met Roenick once in the Shark’s locker room. I’m sure I told this story before but I was a young filmmaker and we wanted an athlete to act in something so we emailed his manager (cause Roenick wanted to act) and met him in the locker room. Murray and Clowe were there, wandering around.
Roenick told us that his shoulder injury would take a regular human 6-8 months to heal “but I’ll be back in 2 weeks.”

I always embrace our draft picks but I won’t be bothered if Beauvoir isn’t signed. He’s not taken the reins.

Saginaw throttled Moose Jaw in yesterday's Memorial Cup semi-final, so Halttunen and London will face the host Spirit in an all-OHL final tomorrow afternoon.
I'm sure Marleau would've taken 3 years to heal.

You are so unbothered that you didn't even learn his name nor, I suspect, to correct it

That made me laugh out loud. It’s for my oversight and for what you said about it. Props.You are so unbothered that you didn't even learn his name nor, I suspect, to correct it

So uh... Pohlkamp. If he kicks major ass with DU, what do we have in him?

I'm mildly sad I never went to a Langley Rivermen game to watch Beaupit play last season while he was still a prospect. Granted it's been pretty obvious he wasn't going to be in the Sharks' plans for like 2+ years now but I rarely get to see SJ prospects on local/hometown teams.
It's mostly down to laziness too as the arena is mildly inconvenient to get to from where I live (comparatively I can get to Vancouver Giants games that are also in Langley in like 10 minutes) and it's kind of a dumpy old barn.
I also might've been tempted to get a jersey except the Rivermen changed their unis this year from a cool double-blue-and-cream setup that was reminiscent of the cannon logo alts the Blue Jackets once wore to a really bland and boring navy blue and white design that they argue is "cleaner" when they just mean "simpler"

The only coach ever able to get him in a shooting mindset was Keenan. After Keenan was fired and Ftorek took over he kept shooting the next while, but after thr lockout came back shooting not much lol
Wiesblatt scores Milwaukee's only goal last night, but Admirals are now down 2 games to 0 vs. Coachella Valley in the Western Conference finals. IMO looks like we might be headed for a rematch of last year's Calder Cup finals.

Not since like 2016. The Pacific Coliseum chose not to renew their lease so they could use all the old hockey game dates to host traveling shows like Disney on Ice, other traveling sports (like tennis) or concerts and whatnot. I think it also gets used a lot for tv/movies filming in Vancouver that need a pro sports sized arena (like Miracle).
So for the last 7 or 8 years they've played here at the Langley Events Centre. It's a much smaller arena (max hockey capacity is something like 5,400) but that's not terribly out of whack with most WHL arenas that aren't current/former NHL ones. The Rivermen used to play there but they were booted to the George Preston Rec Centre in nearby Brookswood as a result.
The Giants had previously played a half-dozen games at the LEC in 2010 when they were displaced from Vancouver because of the Olympics.
As far as I know their lease runs another 2 or 3 years and I think they're pretty happy here even if the attendance is kind of fairweather sometimes (there were times in the last couple years where they averaged like 3700-3800 people per game). Plus I get get season tickets for like 35 games for $500-700 and get to and from the rink within 10-20 minutes. What's not to like?
Ah. That’s too bad. I used to live pretty much a street away on the other side of Hastings. So close where I could charge for parking.Not since like 2016.

London down 2-0 after 1 period of the Memorial Cup final. And they only have 1 shot to boot. Not a great start.
not prospect related but draft related: Zayne Parekh was taken off the ice late in the 1st after he was elbowed in the head by a London player. The player was ejected and it turns out he's a Blues 6th round pick last year and the son of former NHL part-timer Jon Sim (who was screaming "that's bullshit" at the ref even though it was a super blatant elbow)
Also shoutout to the rinkside reporter (I think her name is Julia Tocheri?) 1) she's asking good questions and not just the cookie-cutter stuff and 2) they do the interviews on the ice and she goes out on skates to conduct them.

Incredibly dirty hit on Parekh, kid has had a target on him all playoffs. Needs to bulk up but nothing really he could have done to avoid that hit—his head was up, the elbow came out at the last second.London down 2-0 after 1 period of the Memorial Cup final.

I’ve seen some people say they don’t like the interviews being done on the ice but I actually think it’s kinda cool.
