Good job Bois! Been looking forward to this 🎙️ 👊🏼
This is why I’m so glad we have Jarmo as our GM. In ‘23 when we’re in a playoff race, Adam’s sat on his hands and did nothing to support the core and get us over the hump. I know Jarmo isn’t going to do that. He needs to get us one or two more pieces and we can finish this off! Go get a legitimate top 6 forward and another shutdown D man for our defensive depth
My first memory is watching buffalo sabres sweep Boston in playoffs may day may day was probably 11 years old watching with my grandpa
Malenstyn is 4th in max speed and 91st percentile in 20+mph bursts. Absolute nail gun so far.
Jonah swims in the shallow end of the think tank.
First memory is Tyler Ennis game 5 OT winner in 2011. The last playoff game that they’ve won.
OK, well I admit I can only get a sample size of what I see on TV. I watch every game but the cameras aren't always on certain players that being said Owen Powers played amazing.??Are you serious whenever I watch him on the ice It's still a constant barrage of giveaways, waving a stick, not taking the man inman and looking lost you guys must be seeing something. I'm missing.
In defense of Quinn…he is tied with Tage for most points at 5v5 in December (1 goal, 6 assists). He is creating opportunities for others.
But…his xGF% in Dec is the worst on the team at 5v5, though better in all situations.
On Jonah’s eagerness to get Kulich back….his xGF% was the same as Quinn’s in all situations before injury, and WORSE than Quinn’s at 5v5. I know he plays Center (a tougher position), but he was not having a great season.
I’m 21 so not many great memories for me. It’s Not my first memory, but one amazing one I had was when I was at the game where Marcus Foligno slid into Carter Hutton and flipped him head over heels. That was the loudest I ever heard First Niagara Center
I remember parts of the 09-10 season but wasn't really into it for whatever reason. Really joined at the beginning of 10-11 which…started bad but ended at the time positively and was a fun ride for the first season of watching. Then had to get used to losing for a long long time.
how many victories does Canada have in the world juniors compared to the US again?
ouch, did you guys lose to Finland?
