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

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.

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.
http://www.nesn.com/2010/08/nhl-cons...ckey-nets.html ?

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.

Torres:
He said he chose to sign with Vancouver for one simple reason — he believes the team can contend for the Stanley Cup.


"It doesn't look like they are far away from that," Torres said. "I thought it was a great opportunity for me to come and help out, do whatever I can to pitch in. With the goaltending and the defence and obviously I will be playing with a bunch of top forwards there, it is a team that I think is very close to making that next step and becoming a championship team."

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

^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

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.

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.
