Justin Vaive vs. Rick Vaive?

[Rabid Ranger]

So, when Paul Stastny skates for Canada in the next Olympics, I'm sure you'll note the unfairness of the situation and demand that he play for the Czech Republic.

Well, to be fair he is obligated to play for the U.S. since he suited up for them at last year's Worlds. Also, his background is Slovakian.

Guess I messed that up big time, then. Wasn't he born in Canada while Peter was a Nordique?

Eric's dad was Canadian.

I mean,you would think we'd get the odd American player who chooses to stay up here to live and his young pup plays for us...............it's only fair!!But i've never seen it.

Florida,it's Florida..........................can't compete with Florida.

I'm sure of it.

Miami University where Justin plays is in Ohio, not the University of Miami in Miami Florida.

Not funny at all.

Geez,i know the weathers better down there but cmon!!!


So sad.

I could live with it if some of their guys who play up here stayed here and their kids played for us but i've yet to see one example of that yet.

Makes a guy shake his head.Is life that much better down there?

Hasnt the current trend been going to Universities in the States because atleast they can get a good education in the process.

The kids mom must be a beast. His father wasn't very big at 6'0, while Justin is already 6'6.

Correct. He was actually eligible to play for Canada, U.S. or Slovakia in international play. He's lived most of his life in the U.S. and had the best opportunity to suit up for them in international play which is why he went in that direction.

Thanks for the info. The Czech thing was 50/50 without actually looking and I picked the wrong one.

all this talk of him being drafted, hes already been drafted by the Ducks....

And much too early, as well! 4th round and having a very mediocre year so far in the NCAA with Miami University (Ohio).

I was coming into this thread to post what you did. Good call.

Look at the dates, this thread is 8 months old. For some reason, it was brought back.

He'd have to make the team first.

Wow, I didn't notice that. Something seemed fishy.
