  1. I think they would be looking at Canada aside from our quarantine restrictions
  2. The stats are not really relevant if you see the minimal ice time he received in the first half of the year. Once he was getting even 10-12 minutes a night the points followed. The way he has been developed in Russia will be helpful as he’s learned to contribute without playing 20 minutes a night. When he is playing for us in 2021 he will likely be starting with 3rd line minutes so will be prepared for that role and will know hoe to work his way up the lineup.
  3. One year deal would be an interesting play with expansion draft looming
  4. Who knows what’s next but if we get playoff hockey Sven will be on the taxi squad and could get an opportunity
  5. Given the changes since the trade was made wouldn’t it be fair to make the pick lottery protected? All these trades were made on business as usual basis and the league should be fair especially if the season is cancelled.
  6. These guys are clearly douchebags. Pretty low rent to tear down random people any sports group chats I’ve been involved with tend to be just teasing your own buddies and they can obviously respond in that situation. How do people feel about the group chat vs trash talk/$&!# talk people sometimes devolve to when they get together. From a content perspective I’ve seen people get equally or more offensive in person than on some of these group chats.
  7. Voted hamhuis nominate pettersson
  8. Some oncologists were opining today that we are missing early detection of breast, colon and prostate cancers due to folks staying away from the system or reduced diagnostics due to covid. Increased death from treatable cancers in relatively younger people. Begs the question if majority of deaths are from those biding time in care homes is what we are doing worth it...
  9. Any thought about converting Canada’s marijuana growing facilities to vegetable production to reduce need for importing produce from out of country or even province?
  10. Think it’s tough watching the NHL season pause try telling your 9 year old that hockey Canada cancelled hockey right before league playoffs. Pride for the passion but heartbreak for the missed opportunity as well.
  11. I would tend to disagree that we aren’t built for the playoffs we’ve added some good size forwards up front. One more defensemen with size would be great but overall we are well positioned
  12. Prime player nearing his peak, pretty good chemistry with anyone on top two lines. Good chance it’s us vs Vegas in round 2 like our chances.
  13. How many places in the world allow a conquered group hold the keys to the kingdom of national importance. Many of these treaties were signed when populations of the first peoples were extremely small and the logistics of modern civilization couldn’t be fathomed. It’s time for a one time payout and all Canadians are on an equal footing for issues that are important to Canadians
  14. We all got to see what stetchers future is with watching biega for years as nick fans. Very similar players in many ways. Love both their compete levels and good to have some do whatever it takes inspirational guys around. Stretcher was fortunate to get big payday on his first contract I suspect series of 1mm deals for 3-4 years before younger version of try hard bumps him from league
  15. The trade in a vacuum is pretty bold for the teams development stage but honestly look at our division anyone who makes the playoffs could easily make the conference finals.
  16. Simmonds is great around the net on the power play. If it didn’t cost a bunch say leivo or gadjovich perhaps. Wouldn’t like any sort of draft pick going the other way.
  17. Good test for the boys to face some hungry desperate teams. It’s a little different dynamic being the hunted than the hunter I think it’s a positive thing to learn from for our players driving that internal urgency when sitting in a favourable position.
  18. It was pretty cool on Bo’s power play goal(sweet finish) the hawks were pressing up so high to keep the puck away from Hughes and Petey that it opened up a 3 vs 1 on the left side of the ice. Good awareness by the players. Keep that up and they will get the power play firing right when we need it come playoff time.
  19. Leafs are an interesting case. I just don’t believe you can pay 3 guys 10+ in the nhl and not create holes in your lineup. Sure fine sign Tavares but something else had to give. It would seem the Canucks won’t have quite as big of log jam when we re-up our top couple guys unless we pull a leafs and sign a ufa for 11mm a year
  20. I know people hate the dump and chase but turnovers at the other teams blue line drive 3 on 2’s the other way. It’s not pretty just effective.
