Canucks really don't have many trade chips unless they're giving up Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser, Hughes, Demko, or next years first.

Unless he lands the Canucks a top 4 D today, I’m really going to wonder why he couldn’t make a better offer for Subban than New Jersey did.

I'm ok with not going after PK - that 9 million dollar salary makes me leery. 

No, but I haven't watched a single second of the NBA playoffs, that good enough? 

Final? What final? 

I wasn't interested once the final 2 teams were set - but specially after how long they waited to play the 1st game.  

Besides - NHL has already given the Bruins the cup, doesn't matter what they do, punching people in the back of the head, hitting goalies, skating more than 20 feet to hit someone - no suspensions - but make sure the other team loses players.

Yes absolutely, I haven't watched a full game since round 2.

Every team left was one I either didn't like or had an ambivalence towards.

The NBA playoffs and especially the Raptors run has been mesmerizing...

Haha I'll bring 2

lets wait till he is having a cat nap. he may lessen his grip on his shot gun.

i dunno

i think you likely overstate the volume of stock in alf's scotch cabinet

i kinda suspect there might be a sole bottle

that gets replaced regularly

and he has already told us the "scotch cabinet" is located

where ever ms. alf hides that bottle

Yes, and it's been playing all year.

THIS FEELING HAS BEEN GONE FOR TOO LONGG

These are the type of things that make the rest of us gag,so much leafs hype for nothing.

They haven't won a damn thing, and yet you would think the were always going to be the cup winner so much media and general hype OVER NOTHING.

I bloody well hope so, &^@# em.

For a competitive team(in Canada) would say their cap-situation is pretty good. Neal being the one blunder.

Figure TML scenario is far worse.

I'd take a Bruins cup win over a Leafs cup win. I'm not aboard the Canada must see a cup at any cost train. If Toronto won a cup we'd never hear the end of it, if Boston knocked out the Leafs and did it the Leaf trolling would only intensify.

hopefully they injure the crap out each other and who ever wins, loses next.

Unless there's some sort if crazy upset in the Tampa series, they'll play Tampa next. No way Toronto or Boston beat them in a 7 game series.

Oh wait nevermind I just discovered the toggle switch on here - bye bye Off Topics section 

It's not hard enough to get two people on CDC to agree the sky is blue. Yes we need Off Topic Forums, and no we can all disagree on non hockey related topics too.

Turn that back on.

Try sitting on jury duty (criminal case).  I’ve been on a few....and it still amazes me how not even more cases end up with hung juries verdicts

That broadcast team especially the play by play guy shills like an evangelical preacher on a sunday of each broadcast giving the faithfuls hope, what a pile of crap he is! Albertans in general are politcal fodder.

Sadly enough, I think you'd find more disappointed team tank fans.

they will never be able to satisfy every fan. they probably won’t make the playoffs but trying to, makes for some entertaining and meaningful games at this point in the season. 

@5Fivehole0     Sportsnet said the issue of 1 v 8, 2v 7 (old format) was raised at the GM meetings but that the 'league' likes the existing format as it allows for tighter games/series in the first 2 rounds, which creates more viewership. I guess they feel, as more teams drop out, you get fewer and fewer watching the playoffs as we move to the finals, which means less tv revenue, which makes sense. So from a revenue perspective they want the best match ups early when everyone is watching to max tv revenue. They also felt it creates more rivalries. I am with you, what matters to me, you, real fans is the best 4 teams in the semis, and best 2 in the finals. Last year, that actually happened anyways, but many years it has not. What's the point being a top team over the 82 game schedule if you don't get an advantage come playoff time. I loved the old format as well.

Only thing placing high gets you now is home ice advantage, really.

Their style of defense involves very aggressively pressuring the puck carrier. It works if everyone is in sync, but it also leads to a lot of blown coverages.

Even if they manage to get past the Bruins, the Lightning will probably bury them.

I think it's impressive that Sportsnet is giving this much coverage to an AHL team, but would it kill them to put on some Comets games?  They're clearly a better team than Edmonton.

Coilers soiling it up tonight.  

just think he makes 6digits a year writing crap sport stories.

puts life into prespective

plot twist he is vintage canuck and thats why he is insane at posting trades. he does a better at cdc then at sportnet

Was he the guy that used to routinely troll the city of Vancouver and Canucksfans?....talking up the great Oilers dynasty (either before he was born or old enough to really be able to appreciate what they accomplished).  Or am I mixing him up with another Edmontonian media hack?

Bold prediction.

Wow, do you mean the Oilers might beat the worst team in the league,HOW EPIC!

Set the parade route.

LMAO - if they can't beat Ottawa with McDavid and Drasaitl and by a lopsided score then they really are that bad (Which we all know they are) :D

Nurse for Nylander cause the Oilers don’t need any more defensemen.

Crazy ol' Edmonton, always wanting what they've given away.

That stupidness (in the modern era) all started with Pronger.

Larsson and their 2020 1st round pick for Willie

The Oil probably become so bad they give the 1st OA pick away, is that called Larsson-y?

"Expect Gretzky like performance" lmao

Evander has a point in the sense looked like interference to me - not sure about a head shot, 

Why don't they call some of these penalties and let it escalate into goonery,Z.Chara and  R.Reaves from vegas knights seem to be able to run around hitting people and no penalties,I don;t mind rough and tumble hockey but when you start hitting guys then crosschecking them when they are down(Reaves),there has to be some rules against that goonery.Those are shi%%y refs that should go back to pee wee hockey where they belong.

They should be more concerned about the rest of their roster.

What &^@#ing right do they have to still suck so damn badly after being gifted with 4x #1oa in ten years?

Losers
