Good to see Bill again.
so, bill, would braedon be on team hustle, team pride, or team desire?
Bil LaForge is the son of late former Canucks coach Bill LaForge. Thankfully not as extreme and intense as his father was as a coach.
When it comes to players like Cootes with his skills, work ethic and leadership, I can't help but think of guys like Bryan Trottier and Doug Gilmour. And he's not just Canadian, he's Irish-Western Canadian -> the Big Irishman was watching from Hockey Heaven.
Wait a minute — so, if you need a centre in the draft you can just be patient at your pick and let a really good centre be there and draft him? Someone needs to tell Daniel Briere; he needed a centre just as badly but spent his #6 overall pick taking their 6th RW and then panicked and gave two first round picks to trade up 10 spots to draft a guy who wouldn't even have been a good pick at their original spot.
Oilers have signed Virtanen.
His dad made the Canucks run with full equipment, minus skates around the hastings Renfrew PNE . The team responded by tanking until he was fired. Quite a character of Canucks lore
