Some “older” guys on there. Akito Hirose at age 25.

No Cole McWard?

Surprised me as well given that Bains and Sasson are playing.

Interesting that there are only three invites; Deagan McMillan, Ty Halaburda, and Cooper Walker

 

[Peen]

Hirose and Bains?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hirose and Bains?

They should absolutely shred at an event like this - but yes, colour me surprised they're playing/eligible.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also - nice to see a Vancouver Giant (Ty Halaburda) getting a look. Also fellow BC born WHLer Deagen McMillan fleshing out the roster.

I find it amazing that Burke is still viewed as a sympathetic figure in this market instead of a villain given the enormous pile of anti-Canucks stuff he's done since 2008 and the amount of shit he's caused this franchise.

- tampering with the Sedins
- leaking damaging trade rumours involving the Canucks
- leading the charge for recapture penalties, again specifically targeting the Canucks
- getting involved in the Aaron Rome suspension to screw us over in the 2011 playoffs
- screwing up the prospects tourney because he didn't want it in BC

- Disrespecting our future captain on live TV at the NHL draft

I don't think there's a super set age limit or whatever for these things. Haven't the Oilers dressed like a near-UFA-aged dude in the past?

Some personal news, I'm going to the tournament! Friend's family has a place in Peachland so we're heading out Friday morning and leaving after the game on Sunday. Figure catching 2/3s of the Canucks games is pretty good.

 

[Vector]

Canucks are only sending 14 forwards, 8 defencemen, and 3 goalies. I expect every goalie to get a start. Will be curious how much ice the invites and AHL contracts actually get.

We’ll be expecting a live stream and your buttery voice providing commentary here

At the very least, I'll bring a notepad and pen. Since I'll be driving, I won't be drinking. My friend is just as much as hockey nerd as we are. Hell, the trip was his idea.

That's awesome, have a great time! This tournament has been a bucket list item for my cousin and I for years, but it's just never worked for us both to have the time off at the same time to go. Hopefully one of these years! In the meantime, I'll vicariously enjoy it through you.

It's the first road trip where I'll be driving. Prior to this, the furthest I've driven is from Abbotsford to Parallel 49 brewery or Harrison Hot Springs.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Max Sasson better tear the shit out of this tournament

Good stuff - it's not a terrible trek for a first timer, especially at this time of year. As my Dad always says, "just watch out for the other idiot".

My Dad was driving up to Fernie a few months ago and got hit by a deer. Slammed right into the side of his truck. So that's a thing to worry about apparently.

Moose are the key wildlife to look out for. They can wreck most vehicles.

And EP2.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Romani going to lead the team in scoring.




Also I used to live up by Mr. C and have driven back and forth many many times, moose and deer strikes are a real thing and just as bad as a car accident, gotta pay attention and watch the road even if it seems like an endless open highway.

Elk and Moose are the ones to worry about. Theyre top heavy and will go right through windshields

Oh, I'm aware. There used to be a stat that the number one cause of death in Newfoundland was moose crash. Those are big scary animals with headgear.

My oldest and I were driving to Hazelton for hockey last year in our SUV, there was a Moose that was bigger and taller than our vehicle on the highway. Easily the biggest one I'd ever seen in person, just breathtaking. Fortunately saw it from a ways off so plenty of time to slow down and watch it saunter off into the wilderness.

A new year, and a new beginning for Danila Klimovich......with a new coaching staff in Abbotsford....so he starts with a clean slate. A strong start in this rookie tournament could get his season off to a flying start.

But seems to me a 'make or break' year. He could be closer to returning to Europe than to staying in pro hockey in NA.
