Do the Seahawks win this weekend? That Rawls kid looked great last game albeit vs SF...

Just wanted to join the JV discussion.

I thought he should have gone back to jr after the trial but after 20 games, I've changed my mind. I don't necessarily believe that he has shown that he is an everyday player.... yet but don't think that he's hurting the team either (as another poster said).

Of course he will make mistakes and inevitably some of those mistakes will cost the team goals and even some games. However, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. He is learning how to be a pro. Learning to be a pro means that he is learning what it takes to be consistent (every shift and every game) but it also means learning how good other teams' forwards, d and goalies are. As a high draft pick, he is learning that even scrubs can play the game at this level.

With respect to the confidence issue, I don't think that is a major concern. I say that b/c he hasn't had a lot of pressure placed on him. He isn't Connor McJesus and he isn't treated as such. The bouncing from the press box to the lineup is a good thing imo. Also, when he struggles, he has excellent people to go to for advice. Horvat struggled at times last year (as well as this year.) And if you want the gold standard in learning how to deal with adversity (and pressure), he has the Sedins to turn to. He can look at them and see that not only does success not have to come quickly but it also comes through extremely hard work on and off the ice. When the 35 year olds are the best conditioned and hardest workers on the team, that rubs off (at least imo).

He is not in the same situation as Brule or Turris (or several others) who were set up to be "team changers." His role is limited which limits some of the pressure/expectation.

Anyway, if he's sent down, i won't go batsh!t but would rather him stay up. This team is not expected to do much (at least from me) so I can live with the growing pains of the youngsters. What they are learning now will pay off in a few years.

Well articulated post..

I just went to get a reservation at the Georgian Court for the Rugby 7's in March and they want $400 for 1 night. I always stay there, any suggestions?

When going over for canucks games I check hotwire (search for 4-5 stars) and have always got the Sutton for 99 a night might be a little more this year. Anyway much better than 400

Ha!

The 20 game sample is their first 20 games in their rookie season. I've explained it how many times now.

Look,,, I thought you overlooked the obvious so I clarified with a tongue and cheek comment with a wink. Pretty friendly and normal on here... the only thing out of place is people took exception to it...

You bastard!

Your own pushy post was out of place after it had been clarified.
