on the cycle

I wasn't alive then lol. I really just don't like politics in sports, sports used to be a unifying escape but not anymore. Politics is everywhere and there is no escape, wish everyone would just shut up and watch hockey.

Religion isn't really a BS excuse. Would you say the same about a Muslim? It's called tolerance not acceptance. You don't have to agree, if he said something rude or mean spirited then sure he should be criticized.

Same. I just don't really like politics in sports or people shoving their beliefs in people's faces. I don't really get telling the world about your sexual interests, nobody really cares anyway. If we were really progressive it would just be a non issue.

Jeremy Welsh next?

I kept saying that we should have re-signed Bo and traded Miller for a young high end defenceman but instead we re-signed him for some reason I can't comprehend.

Carolina is retaining salary

I'm so disgusted by any advertising on uniforms. I don't care that much about helmets but when you look back at historical moments it's really gross if you see an advertisement. I'm all for capitalism but this is too far. I'm so sick of ads.

Man........feels like deja vu. It's hard to support this team after soo many years of the same BS. Our stars have been pretty bad. Miller has directly contributed to us losing the first 2 games now, if you want a big boy contract you gotta step up.

Possibly trade them Ferland after day one deadline.

Wonder if Washington tries to sign him to replace Backstrom.

Pettersson really didn't do nearly enough in this game. No goals or assists.....or even a shootout goal with the game on his stick. Had far too many turnovers and looked pretty bad on the powerplay. Soo many chances to win with a 2-0 lead to start. It is such a Canucks thing to lose a crucial game to a bottom feeder. I wouldn't be that upset if it were Minnesota or Calgary.....but Ottawa?! FFS.

Top 5 goalie for sure. Especially if you look at Goals saved below expected and high danger scoring chance save percentage. Luongoesque play.

Demko is probably not 100% right now. He's been very heavily relied upon and has never played this many games. All the while our team has blead quite a few high danger scoring chances, Demko can't bail us out every game.

Went to the game feels like a waste of time and money. At least my girlfriend had fun.

Pathetic. Dominate the 1st and then went to sleep since. They sure don't look like a team competing for a playoff spot despite what they keep saying. Unacceptable effort.

I wouldn't call retroactively punishing teams for moves that were perfectly acceptable under the confines of the previous CBA because the league was embarrassed "defending the integrity of the CBA". If the NHL wants teams to adhere to certain rules the should do a better job of constructing a coherent well thought out CBA instead of being vindictive because they were outwitted by a creative, competent management team. Lawrence Gilman ftw.

uhhhh......not one team other than us offered more than 4 years though. $6M would have been acceptable if it was for 4 years but definitely not 6, especially when there really wasn't much of a bidding war.

The Toffoli and Sutter trades were clear losses. Sutter wasn't even better than Bonino and we let Toffoli walk. Every trade Benning made was to rush the rebuild along. Even the futures he got back were squandered. For someone who talked an awful lot about drafting and acquiring pick he sure didn't play into that "strength". FFS.

Take our scraps for your best player mentality

Worse than Ballard, Raymond, and a 1st

Hard to develop when you never get to play games because you're on the taxi squad and having to share 1 net with 2 other guys.

They can always take Boeser to arbitration if they think the QO is too high. His stats this year wouldn't warrant his QO anyway so would be a pretty safe gamble but would likely only get you a 2-3 year "prove it" deal.

I don't know if you'd be able to get that much for Miller but it's pretty close to the return you'd expect. Although with Motte as a good bottom 6 guy sweetening it not a bad proposal.
