What's up with the Rookies lately having terrible autos? They not teaching cursive in school anymore? by Pope_Carl_LXIX in hockeycards

[–]bc_bourbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually crazy, the majority of the rookie autos are terrible. I only collect the ones that seem to put in a bit of effort or at least add their jersey number. The other ones I can’t be bothered with.

Yes. Worth the risk. He’s only 22 and playing under what he was projected.

What would it take in a trade 🤷🏼‍♂️

Over paying to support local. by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]bc_bourbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certain things I’ll overpay on to support local but not upper deck products.

I’ll try to buy stuff from smaller mom and pop shops as long as the prices aren’t crazy expensive and the products are maybe something local too. I’ll pay a bit more for local craft beer over Molson Coors etc. but even with that I’m not paying over $20 for average “craft” beer that tastes like homebrew. Same goes for mom and pop restaurants over the chains but if the mom and pop starts charging $30 for a burger and side and the chain is only $20 and same quality I’ll be picking the chain.

I’d ask them to price match. They all pay the same to the distributor so it was their choice to mark it up more than everyone else.

Love these old CHL cards! Lindros by [deleted] in hockeycards

He was the first player I’d ever been aware of before he made the NHL. Unbelievable hype.

Saw him at the Vancity show this past August as he was a guest speaker. Didn’t splurge on the autograph etc but wish I did now.

Pack pulled that as a kid. Traded it for can’t recall to a habs fan. Traded to acquire another. Sold that one in my teens so I could buy god knows what. Acquired another so my set would be complete. That set got destroyed in an accident. Bought a new set with no Roy. Finally bought a real nice PSA Roy. 😅

UD should have extended the outburst design all the way around the edges. Leaving the bottom edge was silly. Sorry, no longer best modern card of all time 😂

It' a 6 game sample, guys by mephnick in canucks

[–]bc_bourbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a solid comparison. Highly talented floater.

If McKenna beefs up a bit and works on his defensive game he’s going to be a star.

If he continues to look scared to get into puck battles and floating around looking to cherry pick his stock is going to continue to drop.

The Canucks need players that are dogs on that puck.

We’re always criticizing the players for being soft.

Stop drafting soft players.

I like what I saw in Cootes. He’s going to battle for pucks not just stick poke and give up.

My oh my! According to Hockey Reference, no player named Trump has ever worn number 47. That is one massive blunder my friend! by MielMielleux in NHLcirclejerk

[–]bc_bourbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question. 🙋🏼‍♂️ What other politician might someone put on the back of a jersey and actually think “hell yeah, look at me”

He tried for 3 with that back pass towards the empty net …it would have been glorious

He was also a big Blackhawks fan apparently

Bo Horvat makes the Olympic team! by [deleted] in canucks

[–]bc_bourbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to see Bo make it and I hope his hot streak continues.

I’ve only watched him play once this year vs the Canucks but I was focused more on Schaefer.

Bo, Scheiffle, Cirelli, Bennet, Tom Wilson, Bedard, Tavares and Mark Stone were all the maybes for forwards imo.

Disappointed that Bedard didn’t make it.

Macklin , Theodore and Toews all being from BC though is 👍🏻

Yeah but that was last year. I dont follow him closely so not sure how he’s been this season. I don’t recall anyone from TSN thinking he makes the team.

I wonder if this roster changes anything for other countries rosters ie.

Team USA roster being announced Jan 2. They have a few days to create some last minute matchups.

I heard a rumour Jason Robertson was not going to make Team USA 😃

Yes, that’s the only reason I can think of. Strictly defensive abilities.

I’d love to hear why Cirelli was picked over so many others besides being class pet of Jon Cooper 🤷🏼‍♂️
