yes

if you analyze the math carefully

we have a solid predictor

that the nucks will beat the laffs 13 - 4

mortgage the house for that bet

whatta groovy SU

To be fair it was a second night of back of a back-to-back and Garrett Sparks is awful. Lets see how we do against them.

Guy's a bum.

Media glosses over it to cajole/console Cdn markets.

League/media knows where their bread is buttered. Meanwhile, they treat Cdn teams as a conveyor(for top youth) system, where they can dump underachieving, overpaid vets. Our cap gets maxed, skaters highly taxed, & southern, tropical and/or desert regions get great young teams, where no one knows what a f***ing hockey puck is.

LET ME TELL YA! MIKE SMITH AIN'T NO WILLIAM NYLANDER. THE TARANNA MAPLE LEAFS NEED TO MAKE A MOVE WIYH THIS GUY SOON AND GET THE DISTRACTION OOT AND KEEP PLAYIN!

Mike Smith is a drama queen.  

Arooooooo!

were you yelling boo or bo.o.o?

What a nice gesture. Enjoy your time with your daughter!

Lets face it, most kids are great!

ENJOY YOURSELVES.

I'd say you raised her right!

There definitely was a reaction to the Gaudreau hit 

sorry @MikeBossy  They reacted. They must have better vision and iPads on their bench.

I stand corrected although it appears no one sought retribution by engaging in a fight or even roughing as many on here wanted the Canucks to do after the hit on EP. But hey if the Flames made it clear they were not happy by talking to the Bruins at least its more than what we did

Hard to be a good goalie when you have that defence in front of you 

Edmonton should have made some more trades this offseason

True - although they did win behind his rock solid .879 SV% - wonder when we get to see the KHL goalie they signed? Figured by now they would learn he can't play 65-70 games a year 

@Mike Vanderhoek Are you blind and dumb? People are not complaining about the hit. People are complaining about what came after the hit, when the puck was nowhere near Pettersson.

pretty good eye sight thank you, I am a technician in the field of medicine so I can only assume I am not dumb either. Not really cool remarks, you should maybe edit those.

There are some complaining about the hit, most complaining about Matheson tossing EP aside after the hit ( which one only has to go on youtube and watch footage of this type of play, very common ). The issue was EP didn't absorb the hit well, maybe we can attribute this to being 19, having played in what ? 5 NHL games and being a kid vs a man ? take that into account and the kid when tossed aside was not in a position to pushback and literally just got tossed to the ice. The head was not targeted, maybe it hit the ice afterwards but it is a common play in hockey and not really ever brought up.

Its because he is a young star in a hockey crazy city that so many seem to be losing their minds, I am happy the league would look into this. Young exciting players should be protected for sure, but you also have to be strong enough to handle the day to day hits, slams, pushes too.

Had Gudbranson done this to a young forward, the same people screaming right now would be praising him for being physical then you'd be complaining that the League would look into it.

@Mike Vanderhoek

The issue I have is that it is not a hockey play. There is no need to pick up EP and slam him to the ice. Certainly a play with malicious intent

Nah. The Oilers just really really suck. They're D are all 3-4 or 5-6 guys. None of them are top shelf d-men. 

Ummm Ottawa can at least win a game

@SedinMadness you mean Colorado?

Jeebus you'd think a team like the Laffs that is poised to try and take the next step would go "all in" on a guy like Tanev.  Meh, their loss.  **** them anyhow (like I would like the help out them).

Not the actions of a captain.

Call Brad M. to mug him and punch him in the face,

Don & Ron said he has personality,but is A-hole a personality.

yeah that was a hammer

I've given up on Rotten Ronnie displaying an iota of professionalism after he disgraced the league, his country, and his profession by using a publicly funded network as a platform to criminally slander Burrows.  He should not only have been fired on the spot, Burrows should have sued him for the loss of income due to the character assassination. 

No surprise MacLean loves another subhuman piece of garbage like Marchand.

Cherry gets a pass for his antics sadly. He's cloaked himself in nationalism. 

its better than the original. Cuomo is one of my favourite musicians. 

I saw him and Weezer in Dear Lake Park in July 2016 great venue and they were amazing

NewbieCanuckFan - Boeser reminds me so much of Bossy with his release of the puck - here's hoping he has half the career Bossy did!

What did you expect?  McIndoe doesn't even hide the fact that he's Leafs fan, so it's not like he's ever going to be objective about anything

anyone that doesn't understand the value of a strong bottom 6 for the development of our next core group doesn't know what they are talking about. So no surprise there are lots of media yapping heads lining up to criticize Benning. 

I've been around long enough to have seen at least a decade's worth of these lists. Nobody really remembers them when it's all said and done.

Let people write what they want. What matters is how the team performs where it matters.

It was all over the media that it was going to happen. 

And the Leaf’s fans to infest our board with their tentacles too.  

oh tentacles …..

Ufa day one I think everyone over paid. They almost always do. 

Regardless of how many lockouts there are it’s the nature of the beast. 

Vanek signed late and cheap and was one of the best deals in the league rarely if ever is that said about guys signing in the first day.

Like today the analyst were already talking about just buying guys out in the last years lol and they just signed. 

Owners/gms can’t control,themselves and Players/agents live for it. 

Maroon would have been great.

Good job Calgary, you f***ing dumbasses.

Haha my thoughts exactly :D

Yup, Wahlstrom and Barzal will be quite the duo

i think there are leaning towards bouchard. he is the only one they haven't critiqued. 

We already have weak defense men,

We need a horse,a guy that eats up a lot of minutes and seems like he is out there the whole game, a defender that puts the opposition on their backsides when the come into our zone and go to shoot at our goalie.A heads up, pass the puck to the right person at the right time type of guy.

Very dependable defense man are a tough thing to get unless you draft them

E.BOUCHARD OR NOAH DOBSON MIGHT JUST BE THE GUY WE REALLY NEED.

Allow me to clarify my original comment - I think we will end up with an excellent prospect - what we do with him from there is going to be up to our player development team

Potentially having him and Virtanen in our top six would cause other teams fits tbh, I'd be fine with taking him if he's available. Admittedly I'm leaning towards taking D with our top two picks though. Our prospect pool really needs more quality D men.

Can't deny I've been hating on Tkachuk's for a while...

Brady's way too awful for Bergevin to pass up. No way he makes it to #7.

Just read an article on Wahlstrom - damn there are some great players this draft - wish we could scoop up another pick 

at this point, i think nothing happens.

mike

sorry to be snotty before

i did not realize the nash trade had happened

looked for it earlier and saw nothing

thanks for the heads up

All good my man - didn't take it that way

i am impressed, pissed off, and very respectful of the job the whole organization did. has to be conspiracy theory going on... lol just kidding. good job golden knights.

Must be a rhetorical question... I think everyone's impressed!

when its playoff time we'll see how they really are
