Neech Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's right Commandant, my mistake. Les Canadiennes have a respectable attendance number, still lower than almost any CHL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Tkachuk 21st and 22nd goal, having a solid rookie year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be wondering for a while whether we made the right choice at #3. Have we had our exit interviews? Starving at a little bit of news on something!

Starving at a little bit of news on something! There are probably better players chosen after Kotka, we just have to hope it's not a huge gap and we passed on superstars for a decent player. I am confident, however, that we'll be happier with this #3 pick than we were with Chucky at #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who was 10 months older (makes a big difference at 18) and played top line minutes and PP time? And was carried 3/4 of the season with Stone and Duchene? Yeah, I would say its a little early to draw that conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Quennville coaching Florida and the ever persistent rumours that they will be all in on both Panarin and Bobrovsky makes the Panthers a little bit scary for the Atlantic next season.

We may not know Kok's potential for another three years. I don't believe necessarily in picking BPA but there is a case that they didn't here. I would tell you that they have needed a #1 center for years. I don't have a problem with their pick. Just saying1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though judging 2 kids after similar rookie years is highly debatable; (even Yakapov looked good after year 1), coming from totally different backgrounds, different age and playing for two different teams, one a celler dweller the other much deeper lineup, muddies the waters for these two teenagers. I think both had fine rookie years, what that means for career is a wild ass guess at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear things up I said for starters which would be something to the effect of " in the first instant" or " I will start my argument with" and nothing to do with starters as you propose.

We'll know that in maybe five years' time. And we say BPA, "Best Player Available". But really it is WWTITBPABOWWKN -- "Who we think is the best player available, based on what we know now". No one knew at the time of the draft whether Tkachuk would score 5, 10, 20 or 30 goals, or spend the season in the AHL. Hindsight is lovely, and usually 20-20, but when you are making the picks on draft day, you simply don't have that information available.

BCHabnut Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Now that the golden voice of Bob Cole is retired, my new favorite voices are John Bartlett and Chris cuthbert. Hughson is very good as well but I think he will keep his lead role by familiarity only. Bartlett is number one in my book. He's great at setting the tone. Calls plays accurately. And has the voice fir it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Always liked Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro games. But, often i dont pay much attention, care or know who it is (record every game being on the west coast and normally just FF through talking head bits).

BCHabnut Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm not sure why cooper annoys me. He seems like a baby when he loses or something. He's from my hometown so I should like him, but I just want to bully him for some reason. Can't stand him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His spots on Vancouver radio are must-listen for me. Mike Johnson is also quite good. Predictably, these excellent voices have never received as much airtime as blowhards and medicorities such as Nick Kyprios, Gary Galley, and Sour Grapes. It's almost as if hockey broadcasting, especially HNIC, makes a point of penalizing intelligence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think Ferraro and Johnson are tsn. And periodically NBC. If they were sportsnet they would be second string to the idiots you mentioned though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Vigneault hired, McLellan hired, Quenneville hired...what other coaches will get recycled this offseason? I'm guessing Therrien isn't on anyone's radar, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 he'll be the next habs coach after CJ. Habs seem to like recycling coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I guess if we go off the previous pattern, when Julien gets canned, either Bergevin fills in on on interim basis, or they hire Gainey as coach for a few months before bringing in Carbonneau.
