Good choices. I'd like to see Kim Mitchell too.

Bachman and Cummings tickets bought this morning for September!

Have tickets for Brit Floyd on June 30th (highly recommended) and Rogers Waters September 15th. And again, probably a boomer thing.

@Tre Mac brilliant  and yes we do. We cannot disappoint my wife or Deb on this one. I'm going to have a large supply of handkerchiefs for her on this one. She took the trade pretty hard. 

Does Burr fo full-Odjick & try to fight the team?

Great guy..will feel pretty weird for him lining up as a visitor.

sorry..*go* not fo

ZZ, only if there's injuries now. But I'd love to see him as first call up. Just like Stetcher last year. 

Goldy doesn't come as a shock. This was the most competitive camp in a while, and there will be more cuts that frustrate people I'm sure.

It's best for Goldobin to go to Utica and get better.

Brock is certainly a charismatic(something Hogtown is SORELYYYY lacking) sniping winger; but I would strongly consider:

Brock & Bowey

Hogtown Humus: Kerfoot, Dermott. 2022 1st r pick(top-5 protection; switch to 2023 1st if they stumble into abyss)

BB's snail-like pace is often a glaring deficiency.

take away the 1st top 5 protection and maybe.

Leafs don't have much we would realistically want.  Boeser trade would need either a more physical top 6 coming back, or a solid defensive RHD.  Leafs have neither.

Sorry for this but how do I status update. Every time I click "what's on my mind?" It goes to my profile. Thanks for the help

hey SB - when you go to your profile, there should be a text box at the top that says 'write a public message...." where you can type in your update 

I appreciate the help. This is what I am looking at.... Am I blind?

There's probably a good reason people keep linking Karlsson to Tampa Bay. They're the team in the league that is most equipped to get Karlsson without ruining their prospect pool or making their current team less competitive.

There is literally nothing that we could reasonably offer.

I see Tampa before Edmonton.

Judging from the dump they took on the ice...

I'm guessing White Spot

They spent most of their day travelling on Saturday. MSP airport was closed due to the blizzard.  They were re-routed to Duluth and were stationed there for a while before they elected to return to Winnipeg for the night.  They only got in just after 10am on Sunday.  

ah i see

and minny did not have to travel ?
they teleported back home?

they have specialized transportation devices ?
 

i don't know. i'll paint all my white pills blue and see if that reverses the aging process. 

thanks Joe. 

remedies... I dunno, all my dad tells me is growing old isn't for wimps! 

Update from Benning confirms they expect OJ to be ready for camp so thats very good news. 

that's great news. now if we can also draft dobson, bouchard or boqvist. 

He was probably asking for more than people wanted to pay so teams like the Canucks went for the cheaper options.  He probably wants a 4x4 and he's only played one year in the NHL and is already 29 so some teams may have stayed away from him.  We might have overrated him as well.  Poolman may not be as imposing a force as Hakanpaa but based on his solid play in the playoffs playing top 4 minutes Shaw and Benning probably felt he was a better option for what they want and a safer bet.

Maybe he's not that good

i think there's a weird obsession with him on CDC but he's not that good

I was surprised nobody picked him up tbh, he was solid in his role 

i thought Fanta played really well, but I kind of figure a combination of Juolevi, Edler & Bowey will be the bottom 3 D. If anyone gets moved though, he could be a solid addition.

Fantenberg is IMO one of the best 6/7 defenseman in the league. Cheap/Reliable. I would be more than okay with bringing him back.

But the Wings have Larkin?  

so glad we didn’t waste a pick on Mr. Perimeter. 

I wonder if they'll hit -150? Stevie Y knows how to command a tank, thats for sure. 

@Pears amazingly, not even close.

The 1974-75 Capitals scored 181 goals and had 446 goals scored against them for a team +/- of -265.

I posted that he would be a point per game player or slightly better than that this coming season, looks like I'm wrong....100 point season?

petersson has ovechkin potential which is crazy the kids a superstar 6th in league scoring before hes 21 unreal  hes gonna go down as best canuck ever 

Baer is going to light it up this year.

We need the Baer

so then who's gonna get bumped once Roussel is back? 

I don't really care, but it won't be Sven.

Telling you, he's gonna be huge for us this season.

Pretty sure he had the highest points per 60 mins on the team last year. I'm sure his head is all healed and he's going to light it the &^@# up. He's looked way better than Goldy this preseason. Way better.

@Nuxfanabroad Holy ***, that's good

Cheers HD

I have the very best seats possible....in my living room in front of a big screen TV. I can see way more from the broadcast than I could ever see from the stands. Now if Vancouver had the first overall pick, I might think about it, but big bucks for a 10th overall? Nope.

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)

Don't enjoy the downfall of others. 

Bo C

Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes A's

I think he'll end up with close to 80 points, he's got that young kid pushing him now.

Steadily improves year over year, he's been an absolute beast for us this year, and it seems he's getting better game by game.

They're very focussed on doing what it takes to win. 

I may not like it, but I applaud their discipline.

it is very frustrating, even my wife last night who's usually quite calm about these things was like "where's the &^@#ing response for Boeser?" 

Maybe they're rope-a-doping the league. 

Whatever it is they are committed to it. 

The common thread is that they've won all the games where their players have taken noticeable cheap shots (Pettersson vs. Florida, Baertschi vs. Vegas, Stecher vs. Chicago, Boeser vs. Colorado).

I think we'd all like to see some more physical push-back, but if they keep responding to that kind of crap with wins, I'll take it.

I missed that one Funk. Meh, if a guy is going to whine in the media like that good riddance imo. 

@Jimmy McGill Yeah, someone in Toronto interviewed Gagner a little while after he was sent down. He claimed Benning didn't speak to him, which was true, but Gagner tried to spin it like Benning didn't have time for him. What actually happened was that Green was the one who told Gagner he was being sent down, Gagner was offered the chance to speak to Benning about it then but Gagner declined. 

what did he think, that he'd be able to change Jim's mind? maybe he was on the phone with Dubas trying to get him closer to his family, thats something Jim didn't need to do that doesn't benefit us at all. 

That Motts ad, is awesome. 

Some were Wang Chunging.

I know what Willie D was doing..

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?

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. 

Figured Edler would've shattered into a million pieces of sugar glass by now. 

once boeser gets scoring again people will be happier

That's because I'm not there to give the gift of twilight ;D

@Twilight Sparkle i'll buy you beer if u come back 

Well, no on-air personality will every pronounce his name as Pettershon

it sounds like "Eleeas Pettershoen" to me

"We are happy to select from Assat of the Finnish Liiga Jesperi Ayattollah Khomeini".....crickets.

@Baer. the schedule works in our favour too with the Christmas break, we only have 5 games in the next 2 weeks. It'll hurt if we drop them all but hopefully the team can rally a bit around the good news today. 

Thank goodness. The last thing anyone wants to see is a Vancouver offense without Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat. 

Looks like the Calder is back on the menu.

road games will be a big test for the new style but I suspect Green will have some ideas there too. 

yep i agree

i'm so curious to see pre game and in game adjustments by green

he had the benefit of no track record in the nhl so far

if he keeps this team winning the brightest minds in the game

will try to dissect and undermine his systems

so we'll see how good a coach he is as the season wears on

Dorsett is the man!

Pre curser to a lockout, that's what's up.

it worked last time.... lol

Or another buy out window aka bettman ownership buddy bailout  program. 

i guess the one good thing about a lockout is it could be in Luongo's last year of his contract so who knows, thats how we might escape it. But if Bettman kills another entire year of hockey I don't know how he can show his mug in another arena.
