Canucks should consider bringing over Rodrigo Abols from Sweden. 6'5 195lbs 18 goals 8 assist in 44 games in top tier Sweden. The Canucks only hold his rights for one more year I think.

Me: gudbranson's defensive ability is sub par for an NHL regular.

Remember Guddy was at his best in the playoffs playing with Brian
campbell. Guddy will be the perfect partner for Hughes. Guddy does all the heavy lepigting along the walls, and frees up pucks for Hughes to collect, and skate up the ice. This will force other teams to sag off on their forecheck, so they don’t get trapped. In turn that gives Guddy more time to make plays, which he needs.
Green will know this; he’s a hockey guy.

The only problem with that Alf is that he's too slow to even get to the puck before the forecheckers do.
First gif is him getting beat to the puck by the forecheckers.
Second gif is him unleashing his inner pylon and allowing a prime scoring chance. He then stands directly in front of Del Zotto because he has no idea where he's supposed to be there.
Third gif is him, again, getting blown out by a forward on a simple dump and chase play. He can't even get in the opponent's way because they just skate by him. Literally 0 lateral movement.

Legit stranded at work. Highways closed. No busses. No taxis. 2 hour + walk home. What the hell

I survived the blizzard of 2019,but just barely.
The greater Victoria and greater Vancouver areas are always so much fun in the snow.After everyone has played bumper cars then they bring out the salt trucks and plows.Most of the RCMP cruisers are absent from sight just in case they have to get out of their cars to help direct traffic to alleviate the problems.
The highways are skating rinks with no credible help given to maintain order and keep things flowing properly.
INCOMPETENT NINCOMPOOPS THE LOT!

These early games are starting to bug me. Just play at a normal damn time.

Utica loses 10-1 to Syracuse. Demko 6 goals against after replacing Kulbakov who was pulled after 4.

@canucklehead44: the Comets D is awful so I’m not sure how much of that you can blame on Kulbakov. Forwards stink as well. Roster is full of essentially ECHL rejects or anyone else they find with a pulse that’ll sign a PTO. Been that way for a number of seasons now. Scary just how bad that would be without Demko. Not the kind of environment you want you’re non blue chip prospects to develop.

So the Edmonton Journal said the Canucks were "mauling" McDavid last night. Yea, sure.

This guy has the best beard in hockey

Del Zotto should be waived next

If he was really that good, some other team would've signed him for cheap. Pretty sure we bought him out, did we not?
I really really really wanted to like Ballard. Grabner and a 1st (Howden was selected; turned out to be a bust) was traded in exchange for that 4M anchor that Florida clearly didn't want. It turned out that both teams lost that trade, ironically. Ballard was a giveaway machine. He was so clearly overpaid for what he brought to the table. And we took it off FLA's hands.
Del Zotto's not that bad. His salary (3 M) is already better than what Ballard's was, with more offensive output.
-
Ballard *was* a top 4 D prior to being a Canuck. That's what was hoped he'd be in signing with the Canucks. Problem was, it was all a mirage. Didn't help his 'style' didn't fit-in with Vigneault system. Guy rarely plays a full season - that actually was one of Ballard's "strengths" prior to being a Canuck. Hardly missed any games. Becomes a Canuck and the promptly misses a good chunk of games in his 1st season as a Canuck (not a healthy scratch but out due to an injury). Happened with Hamhuis as well (missed very few games).
We should have our water tested...
-
Bachman will start, Gaunce/Biega scratched.
-
Is Bachman really that bad an option?

hopefully we get out of this mini slump soon figure we are 5 weeks away from being fully healthy i feel like benning will pull a few trades when we are healthy and gaudette will go back to utica, mcewen deserves a call up big winger hits hustles scores be nice to see a line of virtanen sutter and mcewen
-
Victoria smells like smoke everywhere
-
Boeser (sore groin) will not play vs Detroit. Leipsic, Tanev and Archibald will play. Gaunce, Biega scratched. Chatfield sent down.
-
Canucks are injury-per-game
-
Canucks injuries:
Elder, Tanev, Beagle, Baertschi, Boeser, Pettersson
Utica injuries:
Chatfield, Sautner, Gaunce, Lind, Boucher, Hamilton, Demko
And we are only 10 games in

@NuxfanabroadThat's not what they're saying. One or two seasons of consistent injuries made the Canucks outliers. This season after season of much higher than average injuries establishes a pattern. If you can track down where that pattern began, you can find an answer. If it tracks down to roughly the same year that the S&C coach began, then it's worth switching him out for someone new. An organization like the Canucks would have their pick of the available litter on the best S&C coaches. Changing non-hockey support staff is easy enough to do and if you're wrong you will still have a world class expert running the program in the gym. If you're correct, then the product on the ice will drastically improve.

I'm bringing sexy back

By 2025, all hitting in the NHL will be banned.
-
Zack Smith on waivers for Ottawa. 3.25M for 3 years with 10 team no trade list. Geez.
-
Regardless of whether they are ready or not, I think Juolevi and Hughes need another year to develop. There should be no rush to get them on to the team. We don't want to turn into Edmonton...
-
Looks like Canucks won't be re-upping Cole Cassels. That 2013 class would have been a tragedy without Horvat.
-
Jay Beagle is so underrated. Hard not to love the guy.

Baertschi, Hutton, 1st?
