The Official NHL Thread

Yep he is a grinder.....he just sometimes completely disappears and you don't even notice him, but when he drives the net which the coach wants him to always do, goals seem to come from him or other players...he is really in shape... like jacked.

He was quite skinny when I met him. He used to player for the Nanaimo Clippers (my old hometown), but when he went to University he came back a few times to visit the coach and that was when I got to meet him. He was like, pretty scrawny back then if I recall correctly.

Jason Garrison on the Canucks is a former Clipper too.

Well I am glad too know he is very friendly, good to have those type of players playing for your home team.....I HATED Kovalev's attitude when he was here.

Yeah Kovalev is a bit of a dink. I've met a few NHLers I think. Colin Greening, Jason Gason, Byron Bitz and David Lenevue (though I think he's more of a career AHLer) were all very nice. Ryan Kesler seemed like he didn't want much to do with anybody even though it was at a signing. Not rude, just seemed like he was uncomfortable in the crowed, which I would be too.

So the Canucks somehow won again last night. Jordan Schroeder now has 4 points in 4 games since Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen became a line.

They're so fast.

[CanadaPure]

Canucks have won 6 in a row or something like that now.

[CanadaPure]

Leafs are on a 7 game point streak.

Edmonton and Calgary are gonna be the only Canadian teams outta the playoffs...

Most likely. Unless Winnipeg starts sucking even more.

That Iginla trade... So bad. Two meh NCAA prospects and a 1st that they'll waste on another Jankowski.

Canucks acquired Derek Roy, I'm pretty happy about it. We needed a center.

[CanadaPure]

Derek Roy is a good player.

He's pass first, something the Canucks don't really have after Henrik Sedin.

We also re-signed Higgins for 4 years. 20 goal player, with more heart than any of the other guys on our team.

[CanadaPure]

Conacher is great bigray, I'm stoked that he went to a Canadian team. He's a good kid.

[CanadaPure]

I know nothing about the player but the trade makes sense for us.

He's small, but he's a firecracker.

[CanadaPure]

Did u listen to Luongo? He said the reason he is not moved is cuz of his terrible contract

He was sad tbh

[CanadaPure]

O'Byrne isn't brutal. He's played with Liles before, and he's been in the playoffs.

He's more experienced than Kostka, and if he turns out to be a plug then we have still have Kostka. It's a solid move since it was only for a 4th from next season.

I know O'Byrnes dad, lol.

[CanadaPure]

Lol smh. How?

I think it was because he works for a company that delivers stuff to my dads work. My dad being the manager inputs all the orders and does the receiving. I've met him a few times.

I've also met Shane Peacock's (player in Europe) dad a few times, and have a hat from when he played for the Frankfurt Lions, lol.

Lol that's cool man. I've met some hockey players before but never their families, that I know of.

My family has lots of random hockey connections for some reason. Both my parents met and knew Scott and Rob Niedermayer before they were in the NHL, but they were never close to them so I never got a chance to meet them. However, a family friend is super close with the Niedermayer family, so I've got to get a picture signed by Scott and meet him.

The wings one looks fake. The name is silkscreened on instead of cresting.

[DaKane]
