  1. How far is Michkov gonna drop? Does his father's death and a potential conscription make him want to leave Russia ASAP?
  2. I'm pretty happy with just watching highlight packages on Youtube and listening on the radio when I can. I haven't watched a live game this season and I'm not mad about it. Just reading the comments about the officiating is enough to make me feel vindicated. I just can't spend money to watch such utter consistency, it sucks all the fun from the game.
  3. Hockey is the best sport there is - with that said, hockey has THE WORST officiating in any professional sport worldwide
  4. Not with all these gatekeepers who want to author the book on "what you can & can't do to be considered a fan". I've been on this ride since '93 and if I'm upset about the team I can't think of a better place to voice my displeasure - short of calling in to radio. If someone throws their jersey on the ice, whooptie doo. Their loss. So what. I wouldn't do it but I don't sit on a pedestal and condemn those who do. This team is playing historically horrible and uninspired. Putting lipstick on a pig isn't fooling critical thinkers. I'll cheer when I have something to cheer for.
  5. It'll never happen but skids like this make me wish the NHL had NFL-style contracts where teams could drop a player a year or two into their multi-year contract. Who is Pettersson even playing for at this point? What is he doing that is even respectable?
  6. First few seasons I loved Petey, the player and person. With how this seasons unfolded so far I still love Petey the person but the player does not command respect. Remember the game a few years back vs. Pittsburgh where he checked the D along the boards, caused a turnover, stickhandled and made a pass to Boeser for a goal? Petey used to be friggin intense on the ice. It was palpable. I loved it. Now he seems like he's depressed and doesn't want to play. I make my money by the hour and I just don't have time to watch rich kids sulk when things don't go their way. Sorry not sorry. Other things to do.
  7. I haven't been watching the games so I didn't realize that. Good eye. I'd look at the goals he allowed the past week or so before the switch back and see if they were "un-Demko like". Maybe it's a comfort issue. Maybe it was a suggestion from Ian Clarke. Hope he has more luck with them.
  8. Apologies if this question has been asked before - how much money, if any, does a player earn on a PTO?
  9. Self promotion time - I was at the game in '94 and sometime around 2009 I made a song about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FptoV_fqc
  10. If we have the chance to trade him at the deadline - trade him. Can't let him walk for nothing, I'd take a 5th round pick if that's all that were available. JB typically gets owned in free agency, if that's the route he went I'd be clutching my pearls.
  11. So glad I turned it off after the first period. Had other things to do than yell at my monitor. Hope Gaudette can figure it out but I'm not putting my eggs in that basket. The goal he scored was a bit of a lucky one and doesn't redeem him for the giveaway on the PP. Also, Sutter's contract expires at the end of this season. That's a big hole to fill - 3rd line centre, PK, & occasional winger duty, and I don't think Gaudette is ready for that or if he ever will be. Crazy how at the end of the playoffs things looked so promising and like there was light at the end of the tunnel. Now it seems like we've taken 2 or 3 steps back. I've always been a Travis Green supporter but it's hard to defend him after the team looked like that tonight. I also think Newell Brown is an hindrance to the talent we have on the PP. Very happy to have Schmidt on this team but I don't think he's found his comfort level and place on this defense yet. Petey needs to buck up.
  12. I know it was against Ottawa and all but gotta give credit where credit is due: Myers with the highest TOI, most PK time by a mile, +2, and a couple hits & blocks. Good game for him. edit - not by a mile, Beagle was right there with him
  13. Stoked! I'm not expecting the first period to be the smoothest hockey game I've seen. Hope the Canucks can weather the McDavid blitz and be the sharper team throughout
  14. Don't waste your time arguing with him. Simply put, Donald Trump is an idiot's idea of what a successful businessman looks like.
