HockeysFuture.com Canucks Top 20 Prospects Hodgson still tops in Vancouver prospect pool - Hockey's Future Quote:
|
The Canucks haven't been in the bottom of the NHL for a long time so naturally our talent pool on the farm isn't very deep. Past 10th, that's looking pretty slim and we lack a serious AAA prospect with superstar potential. Hodgson might be as close as it gets there. We're lucky the Sedins and Kesler panned out because Gillis can just build around those guys for another 5 years and just roll the dice on prospects. |
:suspicious: Jordan Schroeder, C/W, 7.0C all time scoring leader for an american in junior level ahead of J.roenick, i expect better things hopefully... i did not jump and scream for nothing when the canucks drafted him. |
hopefully not a repost but canucks engineer came up with curve glass Canucks unveil new curved glass system for 2011.12 season - Vancouver Canucks - News and luongo's new pads http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4...erver734fi.jpg |
Alexandre Daigle had 247 points in 119 junior games. |
:seriously: has this been posted yet? |

On the topic of Junior stars not doing well in the NHL, anyone remember the Brule vs Crosby debate? Brule was the best in the west, Crosby the beast of the east and the Allstar game was played here. Crosby didn't show, Brule got a hat trick and I remember being at the game where everyone (admittedly, myself included) was saying Brule was the man and potentially the NHLs next Superstar. How things change... lol Posted via RS Mobile |
Yeah I had high expectations for Brule aswell when he played for the Giants. He's packed on a ton of fat a la Wellwood affecting his game drastically. Such a shame with a guy of his talent not living up to his potential. Goes to show you no matter who you draft, they don't pan out the way you want I'm really hoping Hodgson can prove otherwise Posted via RS Mobile |
probably has something to do with the blue jacket development program... they have drafted in the top 10 every yr and most of their draft picks are a bust except nash. Brassard and klesla were pretty solid but hope johansen will be their #1 guy on center |

Better than just solid white pads though. Is that still the P3 with just customized "graphics"? I don't think Reebok has made a new series line for goalie pads. http://public.sd38.bc.ca/Classweb/FO...luongo-300.jpg This colour scheme/design is still my favourite one for Luongo. |
I see people talking about goalie pads all the time and I don't get it. It's not like they're covered in art like masks. They're just a generic design and they're the same for everyone that buys those other than color. As long as they stop pucks, I don't even notice when those guys change their pads. |

It would be like people saying all hockey sticks are the same as long as they can put pucks in the net. I don't even notice when a player switches different sticks with different blade curves. Besides talking about the designs and colour schemes, more importantly, performance and quality from one model of pads to another can stir up a big discussion among goalies. It's pretty important stuff. But I wouldn't expect anyone to be talking about that stuff here. Cause that would be in the gear review thread. And Reebok currently has 3 different models that pros would use, but the designs on the new pads that Luongo is using doesn't fit any of those... so I'm suspecting that's a custom designed Reebok pad... or it's just a completely different pad, and "Reebok" paid Luongo to just put that logo on the pads. |
Good to see some color back to his pads but that design is ugly. They're premiere 4's btw, according to Goalie Store Forums |

If anything, masks are more of a generic design than pads, since across all manufacturers their purpose and goal is to deflect pucks and disperse the impact and pressure. As long as they keep the goalie's brains intact, the art is only secondary.. Pads on the other hand are tuned and modified to reflect each player's style. There are lots to talk about. Different pads definitely function and perform differently from each other. You have modern flat-faced butterfly style pads (Luongo, Lundqvist) that kick rebounds out, or more traditional hybrid pads with knee rolls or shin rolls (Brodeur, Miller) that help dampen pucks and produce less lively rebounds. I heard Kiprusoff and most Calgary Flames goalies use Always pads, because they have wings. Apparently they have this "sea of red" there in Calgary, sounds like a heavy flow. |

That's all fine and stuff talking about what pads actually do. "This flap over here is 30% more shock absorbant than the predecessor." But there's never been a discussion like that in this thread. It's always been about what color they are or what they look like, which I just don't understand. I just find it weird. It's not like they were even designed...Reebok or whatever just takes the team's colors and puts that on the pads. Otherwise, they look largely the same. Quote:
