Sopel was a good D for the BlackHawks not so much as a Canuck
- VANTEL

He was good.
I was kidding about him being a great, but he always struck me as a dude.
A journeyman. A sort of joe normal. A working class hero.

I hope salo comes and shows our D how to do it right. He was tough as nails.

I have much respect for salo as even after getting several painful injuries from blocking shots (caved in face needing surgery....testicle the size of a grapefruit) he never once hesitated from doing it. Friggin warrior.

He never threw out his back picking up a cracker.

The franchise really needs to find a #1 guy sooner than later. I see they signed Brisebois today.

When he was here. He is ok . I am not sure if it was preseason or young guns. He looks like he will take 3-5 years to make it

That injury was going to happen anyways....and honestly that's how they usually come on as well symptomatically... Doing something menial. 100% Was Herniated disc... would have happened anyhow, just funny in its timing. Which is actually normal. Truth is it was already there just not producing nerve compression yet.

Remember guys this is my field of medicine.

then it was penner during his time in LA who had same thing while at IHOP eating pancakes.

3 years from his level is pretty fast actually. Not mcann fast but still.

I would lean more to the 4 or 5 years

I think he will play at least 2 on the Comets

I will say Neill will be ready before him

RHD 6'3 drafted this year's 5 th round . he is about the same as Brisebois . A little bigger and more offence . I think his advantage is being the RHD as Brisebois is LHD

qeez our team is going to be big if all these guys make it as planned

Bourdon is the last time I even remember us drafting a dman in the first round. Ohlund is the best that I have watched. Like a noble basset hound, but ideally still a number 2 guy IMO.

Canucks didn't draft him, but Cam Barker is the last top rated D to suite up me thinks

Gillis signed him to a PTO and he made the team as the #8 guy.

Lefty, wasn't Barker #1 overall as well?

My bad.

True story, after a game one night, me and the guys were out on the town, totally juiced. At the Roxy, this guy comes up to me thinking I'm Jovo, won't leave me alone and won't believe me when I tell him I'm just some guy out for drinks. Almost got in a fight.

Maybe now the female doging about Frank Corrado can start. We seem to be at his level of depth chart now while he sits in the Tim Hortons at the ACC.

Sopel ruled.
But he was not the best Dman.

He had one good season then sucked balls.

I just realized he's your avatar. Silly me.

I think you do what John Davidson did to Gillis. When the time presents itself you twist a few screws in the back to show them what they did was not cool
