    Totally agree, think the Stick in Rink is terrible. I have never understood the obsession with it. The orca is such a nice logo, and the colours are nice.

    I love the black skate, and think the jersey looks sharp, but a lot of that love could very well be nostalgia from when I was a young kid.

    It was stick and rink back when I was a kid and it is my favorite. I  believe it is nostalgic from our most impressionable years.

    So I am unsure what happens in the instance Islanders finish with 14 oor15th pick. But with the luck of the balls they move up to 12th or better. Do we lose the pick or do they claim the pick.

     

    Does everyonwho misses the play offs go in the lottery system.

  3. Very nice prospect glad he is a future Canuck. Mean streak and good positionally .

  4. JL has no mean streak in him very pensive and always coughing up the puck when pressure is on. You would think in an age related tournament he would be more dominant. 

    Very concerned about this pick.

    Garland Miller Podlokzin

    Pettersson Horvat Boeser

    Pearson xxx Hoglander

    Highmore Lammikko Chiasson

    OEL Myers

    Hughes Schenn

    Dermott zzz

    Rathbone

     

    Demko

    Martin


    coach Boudreau 

    these roster is already good.

     

    now add a speedy gifted 3C and a top 4 Def to play with Hughes, using Myers Cap.

     

    Hughes zzz 

    OEL Dermott

    Rathbone Schenn 


    get ride of the 2 mistcasts : save 5.1

    Poolman 2.5M

    Dickinson 2.6M

     

    Let them fly : save 1,9M

    let Hunt goes. 800k
    Let Sutter retires 1.125M


    so 7 M to re-sign the following :

    sign Miller 8,8 x 5 up 3,6

    sign Boeser 6,9 x 5  up 1.1

    sign Highmore 1,2 x 2 up 500k

    sign Lammikko 1 x 2 up 250k

    sign Chiasson 1 x 1 up 250k

    Re-signing costs ups: under 6M

     

    we still have to sign our 3C and our top4 def, but we should not be that bad cap wise. 

     

    Is there not 3 mill for Luongo as well

    So we keep Miller (not extended) and rethink trading him at the next TDL as a playoff rental?  What if we are in a playoff spot at the 2023 TDL?  Could we trade Miller at that time?  We might have to keep him and see him walk July 1, 2023.

    Imhao we either sign or trade Miller this summer.  There is no other option.  

    I think we should be looking at this idea. The team will have a very good idea after sitting down and talking to him .

    If a deal is not in the works we need to trade this deadline. We demand a 1st and a bluechip RD. 

    If we wait till next year we will lose a year of development of our 1st rd selection from the trade.

    This would have been a 4-1 loss if we didnt change coaches. 

    The team would have been playing with anxiety and Bruins prob would have scored after the Miller penalty 5 on 3 and then another one with almost a full 2 minutes left in the 2nd penalty while our team lost all confidence.  That's only if we didn't get blown out in the 2nd and was losing already by then. 

    They then would have piled on and added another one and finished us with an empty netter. 

    Instead, bruce rolled 4 lines again and used all personnel and we played the game hard and took it to the Bruins. 

     

    I'm honestly curious. For those that supported Green and said it wasn't the coaching, you must realize now right? 

     

    A lot of the Green supporters eventually was ok with firing Green but more because that was the last lever rather than seeing that he was not a very good coach. I wonder if they see it now? Do you regret that it took so long to fire him? 

    What if BB had the entire camp and preseason with this crew. Where would we be? 

     

    I am very worried about the team shutting him out soon , hope not but it is Vancouver

    Johnson - Pettersson - Boeser

     

    Hoglander - Svechkov - Podkolzin  (this is intriguing)

     

    Lysell - Pettersson - Boeser

     

    Motte - McTavish - Podkolzin

     

    Guenther - Pettersson - Boeser

     

     

    And the scary thing is Miller is not in there.

  9. We signed Edler to a 2 year deal so he was not exposed in the expansion draft. I am sure if Markstrom wants to play here he could take a 1 year. Yes he could receive a career ending injury but that will have to be his choice . Vancouver must not back themselves into a corner, we have much more important contracts coming up in the next few years. And we can not afford to protect players due to the numbers game.

    Im still a believer that if Goldy is given the opportunity beside Pettersson he will excel. He needs those likeminded skilled players to truly bring out his game. If he cant take that opportunity then waive him.

     

    Goldy-Pettersson-Boeser

    Ferland-Horvat-Miller

    Baertschi-Gaudette-Pearson

    Virtanen-Beagle-Sutter

    Motte, Leivo

     

     

    But I  believe he would be bull fudging the blueline for the break away pass. Not helping the defense on the way back.

    That's the one picture I am referring too, and Jake looks fine.  His face is as lean as I've ever seen it.  

    We went to the Bahamas in June. Return flight back to Toronto we were on a flight with Erik Karlsson and Melinda. Mind you there body types are a bit different but Erik was not muscular at all short and scrawny compared to Jake. 

    Just saying
