  1. True and Edonton won two picks and the Canucks have only ever fallen. They fell from 2 to 5 but ended up with Pettersson, so the hockey gods are still more powerful than Bettman.
  2. Even burke said it was disgraceful the way the NHL handled this. It should only been between the teams that weren't in the play-in round. The bottom teams like Detroit and Ottawa that need the help most. Seems like Bettman is more concerned with manipulating where the top picks go.
  3. Correct, you can't bet on an overtime winner on 888

  5. 888poker sports bets including the exhibition games so far this playoffs 8-3 Todays picks Nash over Ari Phi over Bos Col over St.Louis Tor over Columbus Van over Min you take either team to win or a draw, the win must be in regulation, in the Canucks game the draw pays 4-1. A Canucks win pays 2.48 to 1 I put a buck on a draw and have 3 buck riding on a canucks win. All the other bets are a buck. I just bet for fun, small bets to make it interesting, fully legal in Canada. Go Canucks Go

  7. Usually that's the case but not this season, they draw alot of penalties and have a top ten PP..
  8. My 888poker sportsbet picks for today: Carolina over NYR Chicago over EDM (have EDM winning the series though) Pittsburg over Montreal WPG over Calgary (WPG for the series too) other bets Vancouver to win the cup pays 56 to 1 Vancouver to win the west 19 to 1 Toronto to win the east 15 to 1 TB to win the east only 4 to 1 but very likely Play in series bets Van over Winn Pettersonn over Fiala in goals Pettersson over Fiala in points Boeser over Parise in points Winn over Calgary Laine over Lindholm in goals EDM over CHI McDavid over Kane in goals Draisiltl over Kubalik in goals Tavares over Bjorckstrand in goals Mathews over Atkinson in goals Crosby over Tatar in goals Guentzel over Gallagher in goals I was 5-1 in the exhibition games, my only lose was to TG. If you like sports betting, 888 poker's sportsbet is a lot of fun, let the games begin !!!
  9. Give it a rest , man. He was playing Sutter, Schaller and Ericksson ahead of him all year. Looijng invisible for 10 game sis utter BS, those are the game Green would only give him 5 minutes a game. How many times has Sutter, Schaller and Ericlsson looked invisible this year. Even Boeser had long stretches of inconsistency. Green refuses to define Virtanen's role. The guy juggles the lines so much, one day Schaller's a 4rth line bum that couldn't even crack LA's lineup, the next day Green has him on the second line. Honestly, who do think is the better player, Goldobin or Schaller. Schaller was supposed to be tough, couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. OK penalty killing, lots of bonehead defensive gaffs that even cost us a couple wins. The kind of defensive errors a 4rth liner that does nothing but throw a couple of hits, doesn't make and stay in the NHL. There's over half a dozen players Green put ahead that aren't even in the NHL anymore. I call BS on this Virtanen narrative, He'd make any team in the NHL and Green's favourites are lucky to sign in Europe.

  11. Maybe someone will give Jovo a taste of his own medicine and phone in and yell at him, see how he likes.
  12. I'm 5-1 on my preseason 888 sport bet picks. My only lose was Van vs Winn which was a stupid pick because we all know Green gets outcoached by Maurice every time. Green not dressing Virtanen was equally stupid.
  13. He's the 5th best winger on the team, it's not even an argument. He's being dogged by the coach given 4rth line duty while putting up second line #'s.
  14. Feels weird but we agree once again. Torts tried turning the Sedins into 24 minute a game, also Pker's that blocked shots and look how that turned out. The were worn down by the second half of the season. Virtanen being scratched or given less than 10 minutes a game isn't doing his development many favours.
  15. I think the extra roster spots were just for the preseason game, Green thinks Schaller is a far better player so it's a lost cause at this point.
  16. I hope they win and Green proves himself to be a good coach. He will be sealing Virtanen's fate with the Canucks if he benches him but will also look bad if they lose. Did the same thing to Goldobin who clearly was a different player in his one game with the Canucks this year. For what, Schaller? Get the hell out of here Green. There is an argument to be made about MacEwen taking his spot and Ferland is a lock, i agree with that. If Sutter gets the spot, that doesn't seem right after the lazy offensive zone penalty and poor showing against Winnipeg. This is a double standard and how a coach loses the room. Torts was the only van coach that had the balls to play him.
  17. The problem with what you're saying is some of us watched every single game on tv or live this season, including preseason. i was at the Ottawa preseason game where the Canucks were coming of a split squad, The games before Green had the Canucks at home and N Brown coached the squad in Calgary. In the game in Calgary, Virtanen had 2 goals including the overtime winner and was first star of the game. This was a depleted mostly AHL Canucks squad against a stacked Calgary team at home. Virtanen was given first line and PP unit time. The next game was the Ottawa game in Jakes hometown, Abby, Green played him 5 minuets on the fourth line. Also watched both Boeser and Fantenberg get obliterated with dirty hits without any type of response other than their PP was incredible that game. Thats when began to suspect there was something up with Green and his benching of Virtenan. It was like the performance in Calgary didn't matter because he wasn't there. Thats good coaching? You call him a lazy, crappy team mate but there is no evidence of that in the games we watched. He looked lost early on and started to find his game when they finally started to play him more than 8 minutes. He was always one of the first to stand up for his team mates going back to that Stecher hit that sparked a brawl TB. That is not evidence of a crappy team mate. There is an argument that he comes into camp out of shape but i can't help but call Green for BS on this after seeing that Ottawa game, i think both the Ottawa and Calgary pre-season game were radio only so i see how this is lost on most people.
  18. Staying focused could be the problem but i bet over half the players in the NHL looked crappy in training camp after a 4and a half month layoff, completey unfair treatment from the hockey whisperer.
  19. ..... and all of your impressions come from the hockey whisperer and not what we've all seen on the ice.
  20. He should find other ways at doing it rather than creating a media clown show, he never has a good word to say about him and JB always has to do the damage control in the media. Green uses the media to shame Virtanen and lets them run with speculation while doing nothing to elevate it. Lousey coach, can't wait till he gets demoted back to Utica.
  21. Virtanen is the Canucks 5th best winger, unless you believe Green , the dr.dooliltte training camp hockey whisperer. Green is more like WD and Nimrod Mike Keenan than Pat Quinn. Virtanen is 5th best and all the stats from the regular season reflect that, yet he's treated like the 10-14 forward over and over by the hockey whisperer. It's no different than Washington scratching Vrana or Ellers in the playoffs for Dowd or Boyd to look like a coach that knows what he's doing. If Green scratches Virtanen and the Canucks look like they did in that pre-season game, Green will be fired.
