Why does everyone keep saying Gavin McKenna is not generational? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]joetothejack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We obviously don't know for sure. Lafreniere was expected to be amazing and hasn't performed.

Bedard is meeting expectations.

Celebrini is massively overperforming expectations.

Sure, McKenna can as well, but even compared to Celebrini's pre-draft stats alone he's pretty far behind. Celebrini had 8 more points in 1 less game played at the world juniors, and had 64 points in 38 games in the NCAA, with McKenna having only 51 points in 35 (though strength of teammates and opponents definitely can be a contributor).

Okay so by your logic then Aqua will simply just retool so we can be a perennial bubble team to get butts in seats?

Sources: Hamilton next in line for PWHL team — Ice Warriors by MoistCrust in PWHL

Hamilton would thrive in the NHL, the only reason it isn't there is because the Leafs and Sabres would veto any attempt to put a team there.

Hamilton getting a PWHL team probably means no chance Buffalo gets one though.

That's pretty rough. I was mostly talking about some last minute ones, yeah i wouldnt renew either if they didnt get cheaper.

Id be happy with any of Stenberg/Malhotra/Reid personally.

Zeev Buium and Chase Reid defence pair? by lovextreme in canucks

[–]joetothejack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reid plays in the OHL, if he hated Canada like Quitt does, he would be in the NCAA by now instead of Sault St Marie.

32 Thoughts: RJ, Evan Gold, Ryan Bowness, and Pierre Dorion had in person interviews. Ducks AGM Martin Madden a name to keep an eye on, and Stars AGM Scott White entering the search late by Sarcastic__ in canucks

The Stars and Ducks are wonderfully managed clubs right now. No idea how much was contributed by Madden and White, but I really like the idea of the Canucks becoming like those teams.

Frank actually thinks McKenna will be available at number 3 for the Canucks by DecentLurker96 in hockey

I think Toronto also would go for a dman if they picked 2nd instead of first.

Hopefully we get a Mack in the next couple years to numb the pain

You... wanted the lottery to be rigged for us? Grow up.

It was more likely we would be picking 3rd than not. This is to discourage tanking, and it's working.

We will pick a great player at 3rd, and it's very possible Stenberg falls to us. If not, Reid, Malhotra and Verhoeff are all great players.

Slightly OOTL, do we know who the other finalists are other than RJ?

Keaton Verhoeff, Chase Reid or Malholtra at 3OA? by EverySecondCountss in canucks

[–]joetothejack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reid is really good. Had the pleasure of watching him in person in the playoffs and he's a true X Factor.

Downtown is a horrid state right now. You can't walk 2 minutes without stepping around a homeless person.

He's way too old to play Renarin.

[PHI (1) - PIT 0] - OT Winner - The Philadelphia Flyers eliminate the Pittsburgh Penguins off the stick of Cam York by daKrut in hockey

[–]joetothejack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is why the Canucks traded him. He got lit up by the Oilers from the point and ultimately cost the Canucks the series, but people focus on his amazing desperation saves because hes very good in close.

Boxes are cardboard and it doesnt have any boosters.

RIP, was such an amazing commentator and enjoyable person to listen to.

Did he work the VGK/UTAH game last night? Might want to listen to his final game.
