      the "snowshoe grind" is a really nice trail. I'm drooling over the potential for an early ski season.

      I've actually never done it, but I've liked the idea of it for years. This should the season for it to happen.

      definitely take poles for the way down. its really nice though 

  3. Del Zotto is #3 in hits for all D in the NHL this year. Edler is #23 oa I'm not sure which stat surprises me more.

      Among all NHL defensemen with at least 22 games played in hits-per-game:

       

      Biega - 3.0 - 7th

      Del Zotto - 2.9 - 10th

      Gudbranson 2.5 - 19th

      Edler - 2.3 - 29th

       

      Who said we don't have a physical team?

    3. Down by the River

      A lot easier to throw hits when you don't have the puck...

       

      But MDZ has been a solid pickup for the Canucks this season. He's been asked to play much more of a defensive role than he is used to.

      Travis does have good interviews, he really supports his players. 

  6. Edmonton going after Perry. That Lucic Perry line is going to be a speedster.

      Might be the first line in NHL history whose speed could be measured with a calendar.

  7. EP40:  17-G A1-11 A2-7

    Rasmus Dahlin: 3-G A1-6 A2-10

    Nico Hischier: 7-G A1-5  A2-8

     

    Just found this interesting. Info on primary and secondary assists can be found here: http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=skaterscoring&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20182019&seasonTo=20182019&gameType=2&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=pointsPer60Minutes

      Petey has great offensive and defensive instincts with the only areas that need a lot of improvement being getting the puck out of our zone (like Boeser and other young players) and face-offs.... In 2-3 years we will have one of the best centres in the league! Potentially the best centre depth lineup as well... Petey, Horvat, Gaudette, Beagle, Madden.

      28 primary points is something good to have in a season, let alone to this point. Its not really fair to compare him to Dahlin, thats just there for the calder comparison, the really key one is Hischier. I think when the season is over there will be no doubt EP should have gone 1st oa. 

  8. et tu Louis? what the heck has been going on in hollywood? this one really bums me out.

      How is telemarking? Is it hard to do? You have to master two types of skiing?

      its very hard on alpine/Whistler type terrain, this video is doing a similar style on pure nordic skis which is a hoot, just have to watch the knees. 

       

      Its fun thing to add to nordic skiing at places like Cypress. If you can handle the black runs at Cypress you can learn to add this in as long as you're willing to face plant a few times :P

      On Grouse Mountain you can snowshoe to an igloo, then build your own beside it. At $100 I think the price is a bit of a rip, but it's a pretty cool activity if you and him are into outdoor stuff. Unless you ski/snowboard in California I guess you wouldn't have the winter clothes for that though.

      It gets a lot colder in California than folks seem to think ahaha. We own snow boots, etc. I might actually check that out, thanks for the tip Green. 

  15. Hockey Reference gives the Canucks a 37.5% chance of making the playoffs, based on 1000 simulations for the rest of the season.

      Flames missed Hamilton’s offence. (2goals and 2 assists and a plus four) and really missed Ferland’s aggressiveness.  

      Bad trade.

      i do like calgary's talent pool though

      it just needs to mature a bit

      and they need to add a couple of solid pieces

      (and like all teams shed dead weight)

    Zero pushback. And he has by far the worst goals against with the Schiller-Beagle-Sutter line. Its not even close (https://www.naturalstattrick.com/linestats.php?fromseason=20192020&thruseason=20192020&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&rate=n&team=VAN&vteam=ALL&view=wowy&loc=B&gpfilt=none&fd=2019-10-02&td=2020-04-04&tgp=2000&strict=incl&p1=8477213&p2=8474291&p3=8474091&p4=0&p5=0)

      Just a reminder that Gallant is a players’ coach.  We have Petey and Huggy, who are clearly phenoms.  They deserve a prick coach, who will demand the rest of the team play the right way.

      Gallant can turn things around quickly but his departures from Florida and LV has me red flagging him, each time he was a let go was a huge surprise!

      I think you're onto something when saying that Green is simply doing his due diligence. If multiple games go by without any shakeup, what then? Green also professed to have watched a lot of Canuck games over the last year or years (leading to the now famous comment about their play during their meeting) so what's stopping him from implementing those changes now?
