  1. When I saw early on that sami salo was coaching him, I knew it was a bad omen.
  2. Wait.. You think that if canucks miss playoffs, green wont get fired?
  3. Its because he's coming from a lockerroom where standing up for eachother is a priority. Don't worry, he's probably already had a talking to from Green that it's unacceptable in this town to be so reactive. He'll soon be a passenger like everyone else.
  4. I dont necessarily think tanev walks (and thats no pun intended considering his injury history ) him playing with Hughes may have got him a few more years here as this has been healthiest we've seen him. I think they bring in tryamkin either by the end of this season or start of next to replace stetcher.. Then someone from.the farm (juolevi or Rafferty) make a push for a spot as well(benns or fantenbergs)
  5. Having taken a couple days to fully think over the trade, Im fully on board with it. The price was high, but that's the market right now and toffoli is a proven player still in his prime. With boeser out for the rest of the season, this was a necessary move to keep the playoff dreams alive. Madden might turn out to be a great player, and that's fine. You have to give up quality to get quality. Seems like alot of posters here would like us to get these deals without giving up anything of value... As if benning could just package up a bunch of busts and hope the other team accepts simply because there are multiple pieces in the deal. If it were hoglander or podkolzin i would have been pissed, but Madden I'm okay with seeing how our centres seem to be set for the future and even as a winger he's severely undersized and this is a team that has had enough issues of being pushed around. Even if Madden excels in the nhl during the regular season ala Johnny Gaudreau, it's the playoffs that matter (thats where little Johnny consistently disappears). Toffoli has always been a huge canuck killer, playing against him always reminded me of playing the old avs team where you knew either tanguay or hejduk was gonna light us up.. Glad to have him as part of the good guys for a change. Would not be surprised if he lights it up and wants to stick around for whats building here. Benning said they'll look to make decisions and move guys around by the draft, so I trust he has a plan to fit him in for the future. Only way this trade is bad is if tofolli walks in the summer and we don't even make playoffs, but I don't mind the risk if it means our young guys get a taste of what real nhl hockey is about.
  6. Please no. Stetcher has no place on this team if we actually want to be a contender anytime soon. At best he should be a 7th man. Nothing personal, he's got great work ethic but isn't really elite at anything, undersized and doesnt provide any grit or intimidation necessary for playoff hockey. Any team that looks at our d right now is laughing, zero fear.
  7. And that's all she wrote. Ferlands career is done. Hope he makes a full recovery and enjoys the rest of his time with his family. Playing anymore hockey at this point is dangerous.
  8. Best performance I've seen from Markstrom, and there's been many of them! Love that he was able to get the shutout as he often puts up these miraculous games but always seems to let one in. Marky saved this legendary night from being a disaster. Outstanding performance Marky, Bravo! Forever #22 #33
  9. Are these refs srs?!!! There's been like 3-4 obvious calls they've let Chicago get away with this period. Such bs
  10. You see.. You don't need goons to standup and defend yourself. Good job gaudette! Hopefully this new found cojones doesn't go away. This is the type of pushback people have been wanting Refuse to get pushed around.
  11. As much as that would be great to see... You gotta think that with rousells history with concussions and the Win pretty much secure, it wouldn't be in his or the teams best interest to risk fighting someone and risk another concussion. He can be a pest and SHOULD occasionally fight someone but he's gotta pick and choose those battles. Pettersson getting taken out dirty? That's where id want to see him go after the guy that did it. 6-2 score in the third? Not so much
  12. Please refrain from using ethnic slurs or I'll have you reported. Calling someone Fredo is like calling a black person the n word. This message has been sponsored by: NOT Fredo Chris Cuomo @ CNN
  13. Horvat should be feeding punches ala Charlie mcavoy to sissons for that goalie run... Not bear hugging him making sure he doesn't get hurt Damn it bo, you're too damn nice. Get mean!
  14. Look at that zero hesitation by Hughes as soon as he gets the puck. He instantly moves to the middle and finds a lane
  15. this is what Nashville sees when they take a penalty against us this season .
  16. Big Mac should have been here way earlier useless plugs taking up space
  17. Wow bailey has wheels! I hope we see more from him tonight, I just can’t imagine that Schaller offers anything that Big Mac and Bailey can’t
  18. That commercial kills me every time they show dimitri he should just look at the camera and in his thick accent just say “I am dimitri, I am totally not actor. Injured? Send location, call Klein and make the monies harasho “
  19. We don't deserve Petey. At least not with this neutered cast of pansies. Everyone stands around when our franchise centre gets taken out by a dirty play. Benning better make a move soon before Hughes is the next target.
  20. I hope it's just management being overly careful with him and making absolute sure there are no lingering symptoms before getting him in a game, even in utica. Baby steps.
  21. I dont think I could of made my post anymore obvious of a troll... At least you confirmed you must have boxed for 10 years as it clearly flew right past your head.
  22. FTR I'm a second degree black belt in tapout and affliction. So watchout your future comments bro or i might have to throw you into a Hungarian neck crank
