  1. Both Johns said several times on Sunday that it was their last TV broadcast for the season
  2. Air Canada is an NHL sponsor - they need the revenue. Teams prolly on different flights too
  3. Season is over before he gets out of quarantine. He is currently in New York with the Canadian Worlds team, en route to Latvia
  4. He'll get his turn - he's 3 1/2 years younger (Dec 2004, Podz is June 2001)
  5. He's a future captain of the Russian national team.
  6. It was actually Chatfield that skated over to Mackey, both had their sticks up, then Gadjovich skated in and challenged Mackey. That's why Gadj got the instigator.
  7. I agree - and l love the presentation of the change!
  8. He was ok. Had a huge defensive gaffe on an own end cross ice pass that was picked off and scored on. A couple of hits. A 2/5/10 for "instigating" a fight on a cheap takedown of Highmore. Didn't p ay in the 3rd after he came out of the box, but only one shift in the 3rd for Hawryluk and Zack as well. Was interviewed post game and felt he had done all right. Wanted his pass back, but said he felt comfortable
  9. He had 17 mins of penalty time. Didnt play a shift in the 3rd. Mac only had 1 shift of 43 seconds in that 3rd, and Hawryluk just one as well, of 49 seconds. So Green wasn't picking on Gadj at all, just playing the vets to try and get the comeback - and it worked. My beefs were 2 - Gadjovich was such a presence on the Utuca powerplay that I thought he'd get a look there, but didnt. And why won't Green put Hoglander out in overtime? Is he suspect defensively with so much open ice? Poor passer? I just wish that one of the press corps would ask Green post game why no Hog sighting in any OT this season.
  10. Nux win 5 - 3 Hoglander the GWG Canucks score first
  11. 2 - 1 final. Anas scored on a penalty shot with 36 seconds left in the game
  12. Motte is a proven NHL playoff performer. Tied (with Boeser) for 4th in goals in the bubble last summer. Jonah's last playoff experience was 3 years ago when a junior
  13. Down 2 - 0 after second. Will Cranley (St Louis prospect) in goal, playing his first professional game.
  14. In their final game of the season, after 1 period Comets trail Rochester 1 - 0 on a goal by former Comet, Dylan Blujus. Only 7 Canucks prospects playing, plus Arseneau. Keppen not dressed .
  15. Petey says "Hi" Quietly he's become one of the best at screening the goalie, and always looking to tip in. Not bulky, but lanky, and always a threat to score so defense always has to counter by getting a man beside him - thus effectively doubling the screen. Not afraid, either, to drive the net on a play
  16. Not following that assertion at all. Why would owners want to avoid playoffs? That's when they make their money. Players aren't paid after the regular season ends (other than the NHL payments to them for winning a series or the Cup) so the costs to the owners are arena and staff costs. Even in a no-fan era, these costs will be more than covered by playoff revenue sharing from TV, merchandising, and US modest gate revenues Just another excuse, imo, to throw some more guff at owners
  17. I met Fedotenko about a decade ago when visiting friends in Krivoy Rog. He was the featured celebrity at a combined schools' awards presentation. I spoke with him for a few minutes - he was with the Rangers at that time, really nice young man. It always mystified me why Ukraine wasn't a force in hockey ... lack of rinks was obviously a factor, but also athletic youths seemed to stream into football (soccer) and volleyball much more readily (cheaper to play, ofc)
  18. What I'd like to see from these last 3 games ....... Obviously, Lockwood and Gadjovich get at least a couple of games Bo get to 20 goals Holtby get his GAA up over .900 At least 1 goal for Vesey, Michaelis and Lind Miller get a couple of assists to get to 30 for the season Hoglander to pot a couple (one a lacrosse style?) To get 14 (prorates to 20 over a full season) That's 7 goals in 3 games. Not too big an ask. Over the 7 games played, their GF/G is 2.14, second worst behind vs Winnipeg (1.89) Go Comets Go this afternoon ..... GCG this evening!!
