So you played in the WHL back in the day, (eh?)?

(<-- proper use of Canadian right here....I know my Canadian linguistic question structures) Nice and proper use of eh! yes, this was way back in the day... the 88/89 Season for me. I think it was about 94 or so that they stopped using that arena altogether. Tight corners that the zamboni couldn't even get into, suuuuuper steep stands that felt like the fans were right on top of you, and LOUD!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last year of a winning team in Victoria. I only got into a few games, rode the pine as a 17 year old backup for about 2 months when Wade Flaherty got hurt.

seagoal Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) And the Kraken have their first player, Luke Henman from the QMJHL I know basically nothing about the Q and have not heard of him, so in that sense it feels Meh for me, but it's a huge step forward and an exciting milestone. https://www.nhl.com/kraken/news/kraken-agree-to-terms-with-luke-henman/c-324622296 And new photos from the main arena, the concrete slab is poured Edited May 12, 2021 by seagoal 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys should definitely draft Brett Howden from the Rangers. He's a phenominal young talent. I would truly hate to lose him but I would love for your team to start off with someone of his caliber. You'll love him. HE FUCKING SUCKS!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Well, I now officially play in the KHL.

loki1416 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) @seagoal I have a friend who moved to Seattle, and while I know it's a huge place and there are a lot of people, I wonder if you play with him/against him. His name is Sam whitney, moved up there from Alabama. He is NOT a goalie.

It is very likely we play in the same league (GSHL --> KHL) but it is a huge league and there are 8 divisions with levels in each division. Ask him if he knows the try hard goalie with the sick baby blue Vaughn gear and the fancy mask paint job. I kinda stand out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) @seagoal: nothing to do with this thread, but you’re about to hit the 1000 mark! Can we get this done today? I’ll like what I can, but it might need a team effort (I don’t want to devalue the TGN currency by over-liking, creating an inflation rate where goalies are walking up to gear stores with wheel barrows full of reputation points to buy more gear, like Germans in the 30s… what? Too soon?) ADD47AE1-CB6C-4AFE-BC38-11E679F7145A.webp Edited June 8, 2021 by Lucky Pucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki1416 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 @seagoal It was a super long shot at best, so I'm not upset in the least. Will email him with your description. To be honest, I don't know if is even playing up there. He was one of my adult students down here, so I should be the responsible coach and see how my people are.

MTH Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 In the Borne movies, Jason Borne was the fake name for a soldier named David Webb. The military program was called Treadstone and David Webb entered and was deleted from the face of the earth. Sounds like your goalie may have done the same. Gone. Vaporized.
