I think our D is second only to Chicago in the West. LA is good too but all of our D-men from 1-6 are solid players. None are particularly amazing but all of them could be top-4.

Depth wise we beat Chicago. Only gripe is that they have a true #1 dman in Keith. #1 as in he is a true offensive threat while a steady shutdown player

LA has this in Doughty. I believe he'll only get better

Hopefully Hamhuis becomes our #1 dman now that hes out of Shea Weber's shadow. Or edler steps it up. Remember that Hamhuis voiced that he did not sign in Philly because he wanted MORE responsibility...and guaranteed PP time. Something he could not have with the likes of veterans Pronger and Timmonen

doughty got talent
he can be scary

Doughty was fucken scary in the playoffs.
Everytime he got the puck during the PP pretty much was a sure goal

Only because our PK sucked balls.

But of course at the time we didn't know Burrows and Kesler were badly injured, and on the second unit all Doughty had to do was fake shot Ryan Johnson and he'd bite every time for the dive.

video goal judge upstairs is bs.... it just ruins the game

People really need to test out their own links after they make their posts...
or am I the only one that does that?

I googled and tried to fill in the missing letters in your url.

ok... RS truncated the long url, but the link is correct. ;)



I see nothing wrong with this besides the goalie having no where to put their water bottle so that it stays out of the
way. Those bottles are gonna get sniped off the net. IF they decide to do this, perhaps create a pocket/sleeve
for the bottle to sit in so it doesn't roll while being placed on it's side.

Overall, this seems unnecessary, and the netting doesn't really provide much confusion in previous goal reviews.
The main problem was the puck being lost in the goalie's gear, or the puck was just under something, so people
couldn't get a good look either way. Not because of a few strands of netting being in the way.

If they really wanted a solution that would help, they'll have to ban goalies from having dark colours in their gear,
and make them wear white figure skates. Good luck with that.

goosebumps

or just have velcro attached to the bottom of the bottle so you have somewhere to stick it on the top of the net

Mitchell's long stick is going to be weird on the other end of the rink now :(

:(

Torres is in it.

still agree with goals should only be judge on the ice by refs

ya that works real well in soccer too

found an old video i took against CHI during the regular season, good times :D

^Is that the game where the puck was deflected really high in the air and landed in our net? If so, I was at the game as well :D

Edit:

Yup, that's the game

It's going to be weird seeing Raffi Torres wearing a Canucks jersey. I hated him so much while he was a Oiler.

:werd:

leafs make a minor trade, lashoff for a couple of minor leaguers

they have a lot of D right now, so i assume they're gunna have a big trade eventually

Kaberle-Phaneuf
Komi-Beauchemin
Schenn-Gunnarsson
Finger-Lebda
Lashoff

how bout that goal daniel scored the ref says it was in, then they went upstairs and said it does not count?

Then too bad so sad, there are bad calls aren't out of the ordinary in any sport. However, a person with sense would realize that a video replay goal judge is much less likely to make a bad call than a ref.

If goal review shows it clearly was not a goal, it's not a goal. I say "clearly" because the rule states that if the goal review by HD cameras are inconclusive - the call on the ice stands.

If it was a play off game, you would be throwing your remote at your TV when the shoe goes on the other foot.

Probably a lot of stuff I don't want and there's no way I'd go during PNE unless I'm already going to the Fair.

"Rogers Arena" still sounds so weird.
