How could you forget Gaudette and the Hoby Baker?!
I think it’s because this is just for the past week. Gaudette won the Hobey Baker almost a month ago.
LOL! Yes man, keep up
Now to translate all of that hardware into a Canucks powerhouse…
Ditto time to prove it in the NHL and nice to see an article to point out that JB/TL might not had been perfect but atleast there is something to look forward to.
Waterbug… love it!
Pretty good drafting and a solid trade.
DiPietro has pretty intense eyes
…and they glow a bit
