100%. I think he can be our Doughty. But Doughty also needs Muzzin.

I think he's more Pietrangelo

Really? That's interesting, care to expand? I view him more as Doughty cuz of that physical edge he's got.

Same size, almost identical point production at 21. Both below average possession players.

I have trouble comparing him to a Norris winner. Doughty was carrying a cup team at 21

That's fair. I don't remember did he play with Muzzin during that run? Reason I like that comparison is because they seem to have similar styles and weaknesses, I also think Muzzin is exactly the type of player Risto needs to be paired with.

I think Kulikov plays a style game that will compliment Risto very well and will see what he can do with more freedom to jump into the attack.

Eh, Doughty is an elite, elite skater for a man his size. Risto isnt.

I agree on the Muzzin part

Ekblad put up good numbers playing with him. I think Kulikov can offer more offensively then he has shown. Not enough that made him the 12th overall pick years ago and those expectations are why I think he's frowned upon for not living up to. He's an underrated D-man who is good in his own end, can lay the lumber when the opportunity arises, and makes a good first pass. No he's not Jake Muzzin but he will be much better then Gorges and is a quality defenseman overall

Hes an upgrade over gorges thats for sure, but there are areas of his game that will leave you shaking your head. Was he ekblads partner in the playoffs? I think if anything it would be the other way around (ekblad making him look good)

I worked on the new kitchen and restaurant in that hotel they were in... It's directly across from the arena. We didn't design it but we sold the equipment so I had to redo the FSEC's drawings because we substituted equipment. The restaurant is called Il Mulino and we updated the kitchen in the hotel (Hilton).
The total for the equipment was around$1 million.

If I remember correctly this wine wall was about $180k alone.

I believe he was. I agree with Murray too when he says he was their best D-man in the series against the Isles

I love how Garth's blog was preemptively locked today. There was some pretty nasty poop written yesterday though.

I thought I remember hearing people here talking about the Point Break remake, but I don't remember if it was good talk or bad talk. Has anybody seen it? Is it any good? I know it's not really a shot for shot remake, it's more "in the spirit of". Because I don't remember sky diving/BASE jumping in the original.

I just want to know if it's worth a watch.

Sometimes he does it to himself and other times it's all unnecessary what people post.

I've heard the same, its not trying to the original, different story, same premise and isn't the worst movie to watch. Middle of the road action flick
