What does Green see in Pearson that most don't? It's not that he isn't serviceable, but top 6?

Hmm, this all Canadian division is looking pretty difficult.

Canucks aren't down by more?

This seems serious: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/18/health/ca-vaccine-lot-pause/index.html

Hoglander is really impressive. High hockey IQ and not afraid to got to the tough spots. Also, good skill. Juolevi, invisible, which is great. He's really solid. JT back is a huge difference.

I've always thought they should show shot totals and team records.

He's back tomorrow. I fully expect a different outcome.

I really think it's JT Miller missing. When he comes back, all will be right.

EP and McDavid are not in the same category. No one in the NHL is at his level. Crosby and Ovie in their primes. EP could get there, but I doubt it. He is more of a very good star. Mitch Marner jumps to mind.

Well said.

I was never good at these. Does the mouth eat the better player or is the better player eating? Either way PLD is better than Brock IMO, not by much. Both have very high ceilings.

Could you get PLD for Jake and some prospects? Podkolzin maybe?

He is easy to blame because we all see how talented he is and when he makes mistakes they are amplified. He is unfortunately in Cam Neelys shadow because we all want him to be that. I think he ends up being a serviceable 3rd or 4th liner. I think he could be an elite level shadow. He is north to south and has about 3% creativity. Other guys like that had great careers. Dino Cicarelli comes to mind. He doesn't have Dinos drive but man, I wish Zack or Roussel had Jake's skill.

Agreed, he is the only guy that can keep up with him. He takes bad penalties though and McD is notorious for causing teams to take bad penalties. Need a balance. I would like to see someone railroad McD instead of just letting him gather speed and crossing the blue line without resistance. Aaron Rome around for a shift?

3-1 Nucks Hogs

He's more dynamic

Triple shift Hoglander

Could Virtanen shadow McDavid all night?

As well as mismanaging their drafts, assets, stars and on and on.

I am not sure what was happening last night with the broadcast. It felt like a few people called in sick and they were like "is anyone in the broadcasting class around". On a side note, the Joey Moss tribute and story was great. I grew up with that story, so much class from the organization.

How long before one of those two wants out? Edmonton is a horrible place to leave, almost as bad as their defence.

6 - 4 Van
