  1. The one thing Edler never did was reach superstar status. OEL has been there. Sure, he's fallen off a bit but he still carries that--that's good for Petey
  2. Looks like we're all chiming in on this one so here's my two sense With the price of dumping cap, especially this year...I'm amazed JB was able to offload Beagle, Rous, LE...AMAZED Based on what else we've seen like the Isles giving up a 2nd and two high conditionals to offload Ladd at 5.5m (granted for two more years) I think this looks decent already. I mean really, I can't believe JB found a way to get another team to take 12m off our books for next year. We gave up the three picks (although 7th rounder doesn't really count) to do it. And yes, the 9OA hurts, but no ones just taking 12m off your hands for nothing. On top of that we take back a top 4 D and a top 6 winger. And for everyone comparing the OEL contract to LE's, just stop. They're not even close to similar. OEL will still have some value around the end of his contract (around Edler's age). He won't fade to a complete zero on the ice like Loui has. If Loui we're still half of the player he used to be we could've retained a little and moved that contract a couple years ago. With Dickinson on top of that, this team is already a lot stronger than it was. Agressive JB has already landed us a 3rd Line C, Top 4 D, Top 6 W and sounds like he's still going. Well done JB. I'm excited about next year.
  3. Is it possible Benning still works for Boston and is an undercover plant in the Canucks org to run it into the ground?? Maybe the "F*%$ Boston" chants really stung. A whole lot more starts making sense if you look at it that way
  4. Could've sworn I thought I saw two trips in a row there... Must be imagining--refs would've called at least one
  5. His bias is so obvious people around him must call him out on it, don't they? It really cheapens the broadcast IMO I wish everyone was as balanced as John Garrett
  6. Can someone explain to me why we give up possession almost every time we're about to enter the zone? What system says turn every zone entry into a 50/50 puck battle?? And why, if that's our system, is our forecheck so F'ing terrible???
  7. I've seen that punch to the head after the whistle around the net against the Canucks about a million times without ever being called...
  8. I'd love to see us stick in the offensive zone for more than 5 seconds every once in a while
