Sky falls without Pearson... come on man :crazy:

You ever have a teacher named John Estereicher at Burnaby North?
Ya i did lol. He was a body builder i think

I just remembered he was the teacher that made me take my metallica "metal up your ass" concert shirt off in his class. It had a toilet with a hand holding a sword coming out of it. I argued and he sent me for detention.
Yeah he was about 5 foot 7 ( the Chef’s height sans the KISS boots) but he was built like a brick shit house. He was a neighbour of mine growing up and a good friend of my dads. I knew his kids growing up. Nice guy but you wouldn’t want him angry at you

Not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying Pearson will leave via UFA for greener pastures. If this team hasn’t developed another top six forward or two by then, something is haywire. Not that losing Pearson is the be all end all. If a team wants to be good long term they need a couple good kids coming in each and every season.

Miller shows the boys on the first, Pearson the 2nd, Ferlund and Rousell on the third and Beagle on the 4th.

5 guys that can play 'heavy' and show the youth how its done. These guys will all fade off over the next few years, and their contratcs expire accordingly.

I wish we had 2 more on the team, or a couple of our boys will need crash courses for us to have playoff success
You want two more mentors?

Agree with Doylie. Pearson is very good for this team right now... but he is just another placeholder, albeit a MUCH better one than ahem, Leivo.

Podz should be able to immediately earn a top 6 spot when he arrives. Perfect timing.

I also have Kole Lind as a dark horse to make the team next year, replacing Schaller to start his NHL career.

Yoodle-toodlely, which teacher would allow a kid to wear a shirt that had "up your azz" written on it? :lol:

He used to go pump iron with the students all the time. He was a good guy I'm sure but hated the long haired rocker type...and i was one of them. I was a lippy kid so that probably didnt help

if by 'mentor' you mean 'playoff performers', then yes, yes I do.

I am not confident with Schaller, Motte, Levio, Sutter and Ericksson as our 3 of our bottom 6, or do I think any of them are mentors for playoff hockey.. I would like to see upgrades.

Gaudette and Virtanen don't get graded, as its gonna be their first rodeo.
