@Pears This. Exactly. We had arguably the best fighter in the league, with so many guys out of the lineup why not play him??

@Roberts It never made any sense and it still doesn’t to this day. You bring him in for game 4 after they were having their way with us to change the momentum and we probably end up winning that series in game 5 or 6.

Especially after we'd see ample evidence of Luongo playing like an ECHLer against Chicago and in the two previous games in Boston.  There was no chance that his play was going to be acceptable.

They have 10 more loser points though.

@Ghostsof1915 it's hilarious how bad they are when it comes to 3-on-3 OT

Pretty sure he got himself banned for having multiple accounts.

CDC legend Desi 

Banned in June 2016 for trolling and derailing threads after already being temp banned twice earlier in 2016.

if you can't be the best, then be the best you can be.

There was a cartoon in the early 90's asking why so many young players were named Jason?

And it showed Jason from Friday the 13th dropping his kid in full goalie gear at the rink.

Connor MacLeod >>> Duncan MacLeod

So all Conor Garland needed was one more 'n' in his name. God damn it.

Next up is petey and demko injury. But fk, i dont want to cheer for anyone to get injury xD. Just want them to lose all their games normally

would you agree to castration if your wrong? put your balls where your mouth is at.

Crazier things have happened.

You ok there Joe? 

That's uncharacteristically gruff from you. 

The thing is, the overwhelming majority of Flyers fans would agree with you.  They've had the torches and pitchforks out for the management group for probably the last two years

Chicago too 

And San Jose.

Grier might get a pass for a year or two. But that's a mess.

Wonder what the real proposal will look like 

If I only had a $1 for every Miller trade proposal....

If the Canucks really want to clear house they could get 4-5 1st round picks in 2023 (one of the strongest drafts in recent history). Toronto would trade their entire future for Demko.

I'd trade Alf for the player to be named later on the HF boards.

i feel the same way exactly. it's tradition, its just not the same when its digitally added.

Maybe because I grew up in the 1970's and 80's. 

No one had to tell the fans it was the playoffs. 

In the states they need it. "The hockey". Also bring back the giant stanleycup path other jerseys we know it's &^@#ing playoff time.

Also why is the NBA playoff slogan win or go home when it is the NFL that has single game eliminations?

JR has spoke very glowingly about our boy Bowie every since he arrived. He's going to be a Canuck for awhile

I keep Horvat over Miller every day of the week. 

we trade our captain ppl are nuts

Cos' all JB-references were non-kosher & just not hunky dory!

I really wonder what the score would've been if both teams traded goalies for this game.  39 shots (instead of 17)  against DiPietro would've been interesting. Canucks would've won by a landslide, I think.

Binnington is soo overrated - reminds me of Sens former great Hammond

half? did we do a poll?

Trade him for a time machine 

Hughes couldn’t play defence either. Anyone remember that. It’s a down year for Petey, shiz happens. Sophomore slump a couple years late. Still a very young player. People should maybe just cool their jets. 

imagine what our team would look like if they actually listened to CDC  Hughes and Boeser would be gone. We’d probably have Jake Debrusk and Matt Dumba instead 

Good sign for his maturity, and at least he's unlikely to spend too much time partying.

We’re in the same boat Jam. I don’t have one yet either. I’m currently going to school. How about yourself?

What's more trippy is I see #44. He's named Burroughs. And plays like Bieksa. 

I would love to keep Schmidt and use him in the correct manner (which is why I didn't want Green back here), but if Schmidt truly does want to move on, then we need to accommodate him.  

My best advice is use Schmidt as part of a packaged deal in order to secure a long term asset (if Schmidt wants out).   

Schmidt + Miller + 9OA for Tkachuk + Andersson + 11OA

Schmidt happens. 

One man’s Schmidt is another man’s gold(en Knight)?  Meh, I tried.

^Hell, JB can get his name on the Cup by not re-signing Tofu.

The deadline acquisition of Petry years ago really paid off

It's a tough place to keep ones job.  Look at what happened to rookie head coach Al McNeil when he won the Cup as the Habs head coach.  Demoted/fired in the off-season.  REALLY tough crowd.

I mean, realistically he probably should have been fired a long time ago 

Rare is the GM who holds his job that long, but Montreal's organizational requirements are a bit more.. unique 

There are digital ads in place of the "Stanley Cup Playoffs" logo for this year.

Yup, exactly this.  Team has been pulling together without him, but when he comes back I see it working very well and we may pull off a post season!

@Type R Ron Maclean said the Habs put the dagger in the Canucks playoff chances.

Tend to agree. This team is not good enough to be a legit playoff team as constructed. 

They are missing a top 6 piece another quality top 9 forward and another good d man or two if they want to be actually compete with the  ug dogs like Vegas rather than hang on for dear life and hope the goalie gets hot and they ride him like last year.

They lack depth so any significant injury to the top 9 or d core will be fatal as well.

I totally agree with the Petersson talk.

Take the defensive responsibility off him.

Vesey-Miller-Boeser

Motte-Horvat-Virtanen

Hoglander-Petersson-Gaudette

Roussel-Sutter-Hawryluk

Wh-What?!

he looks a lot like his father.
