Remember all the grief Linden caused when he let the cat out of the bag that Benning wasn’t sold on EP and had to be “over rode” on the pick? Even after Benning only gave EP a 3 year deal over concerns, Linden still went on the attack.
Linden isn’t bragging about forcing Benning on Petey anymore for some reason.
Linden is a clown. The more years that pass by, the list of his beefs and the negativity about him from his peers grows. People are living a fantasy about Linden. Even the sleep doctor Pat Burns talked trash about Linden. Said “he didnt like him”. “Tried to like him”. Said “Linden and Benning dismissed the research”. Looks to me Linden just like to pass the buck and picks his moment when the heat is on someone else and then he piles on. He’s a Dbag.
I think Cootes got a own goal on USA’s 2nd tally. Looked like his stick blade was between the puck and the stick blade of the USA player when it was pushed in.
I think Cole Reschny and Lawrence were the 2 best C’s for Canada.
He has 3 goals now
Beats 3 Canada players with a simple 3 strides to get ahead of the defenders. Impressive.
Just watched the highlight reel. Verhoeff played like dogshit. Seems like anyone that he was supposed to cover just simply steps away from him and is wide open for a pass. His skating looked pretty bad as well.
Speaking of skating… see Malholtra trying to catch up to the player that got away from him on that breakaway? I said it before, it’s been well exaggerated how good his speed is. There’s a couple of videos out there that are outside the group thinkers and give a honest assessment. His reputation for skating and defensive side of the game are above where his game actually is. People need to pump the breaks a bit. Yes he was picked #3… but don’t hate him if he doesnt live up to that.
Jeff Merek just said yesterday Him and Cootes are looking great on Team Canada. I think most fans are only expecting a 2/3 C
No points as far as I know. Outplayed by other C’s like Lawrence who is younger than Caleb and Cootes and drafted later than Caleb… They got annihilated today against USA. There’s a lot of hype for these guys based on “leadership” glue etc… Tunnel vision.
Canada sure has gone downhill in international hockey.
This market will eat him alive if he doesnt live up to the inflated expectations they put on the Canucks prospects. It will be all Caleb’s fault for tricking them.
I’m already seeing the expectations getting ahead of him. Going to be the #1 for BU. Going to be the #1 for team Canada. Easy now folks. This will be a season of adjustments for the kid.
Should have drafted Lawrence.
I said it a number of times, Malholtra may be the 3rd best C in this draft after Bjork and Lawrence. Trust in the scouts? No. They have not earned it because its the same failtards as before. They can definitely earn my trust with this recent draft… or completely trigger me into rage…. lol. Time will tell. I do have a better feeling about this draft than the last few but picking high, multiple 1st and 2nds will fill anyone with optimism.
Does anyone have a link showing the scoring leaders for the summer showcase? All I get is goal scorer recaps.
Far as I can tell, the best C for Canada has been Tynan Lawrence. I think he has at least 3 points in the main games. Good play maker.
Our guys didnt get a point in their game. Lawrence stole the spotlight in it.
So far Rogowski is our standout.
One game left for Canada. Would love to see a big game out of our two centers. Rogowski vrs Malholtra and Cootes. Should be a fun one.
The only thing in that CA article that is accurate about EP40 that resembles any kind of reasonable explaination to his huge decline is “off-ice circumstances”. The rest is hyperbole. He’s been called out by teammates for a reason, he doesn’t get invited to off ice functions such as weddings, dinners for a reason. The guys an introverted flake who’s collected his money, he’s 100% okay riding the status quo out in Vancouver. He doesn’t set a good example for this impressionable young team.
I wonder how much of his wife having 2 miscarriages in 2 years over that period contributed to him becoming such an introvert? Sounds like a recipe for depression and symptoms of.
I got over our miscarriage reasonably quick when I was in my mid 20’s but seeing the depression my woman went through for the next 6 months brought me down quite a bit. We decided to try again off and on over the next 2 years without success and it started tax our relationship quite a bit. It didnt end well.
People say there is no excuses but it’s not your life. If he cant pull out of it, time to move on but it’s never as simple as the “experts” claim it is.
