  1. Should be interesting. Huge win streak and goal scoring pace VS the dreaded 3rd "hasn't played in some time" stringer vezina guy
  2. Stop worrying about nashville, They are making the playoffs lol. Pretty much 2 40 goal scorers, 20 goal 88 point dman and a solid #1 goalie. LA, Battling for the spot with vegas. That's it.
  3. Imagine your night consists of either sitting on a NHL bench, OR sitting in HWY 1 traffic BOTH ways
  4. Honestly might with rent costs. I've had box suite and underground parking pass a few times. Some cars are real dusty and apparently never move lol
  5. Demko has played most the games and has a 2.63 / .918 Halak has played a handful and has a 3.01 / .899 Rangers backup is 2.91 / .898 Hell binnington has a 3.14 / .903 and hes paid more than demko ( NTC / NMC as well. Seriously signed the loui 6x6 and turned to dust hahah ) Its not that big of a change though. We are a team who has atleast two AHL/ 7th D playing full time all year lol. With all things considered halak deserves a little confidence as long as you expect 2 goals against atleast. Lucky for us we keep scoring over 5 a game as guys need to add to the new contract value before the seasons over
  6. Really though whats the deal with zero confidence in halak? Goals against per game: 1-6 times 2-3 times ------ Lets keep in mind this range 3-4 times ------ ALL goalies are in ( maybe other than the rangers kid lol ) 4-1 time 5-1 time 6--1 time And no, It's not " Well most of high GA are from starts and 1-2 GA are coming in for demko " Not to mention if you look at the game logs between the both of them, They have roughly the same pattern. Both have a game where they let in 4 or more, Then go on a 4/5 game run with 1/2/3 against. I have zero problem with halak as long as you don't expect a shutout when he plays
  7. Agree. When it comes to goalies, I always expect when the backup plays.. Automatic 2 goals against. These are guys who sit and watch and 1/4 of the year, Then are expected to perform against mid season form superstars at a flawless rate lol. We have averaged over 5g a goal for our 6 game streak. This is the perfect time to have some confidence in one of the vital team members
  8. Canucks fans be like : It's bs LA gets easy teams like the ducks LA fans be like : It's bs nucks get easy teams like the sens But in reality we are all like : This is going to be the classic 3rd stringer vezina caliber and 5+ posts kind of night isnt it... For real though, Very proud of this team. We have alot of guys with solid character that's for sure. It's April 19th and we are still in the playoff hunt. I could not imagine having to go to work everyday and deal with green and co trying to ruin your career. ( atleast not helping you progress in any way ) Add in our toxic media and bad apple fans... Plus years of covid... Especially for a younger team who's families are mostly in other countries.. Must have been such a mentally draining period. The fact these guys were all able to come together at once and go on this run since bruce & co got here in unreal. I will be soooooo stoked if they get in. They friggin deserve it. BUT i won't mad even the slightest if it doesn't work out. It's the minni game that worries me tbh. They are going to injure more of our team... They added alot of toughness this year to go along with the fair amount they already had
  9. They changed it to hockey night in toronto, Or on special occasions aka when we play them.. Hockey night in edmonton / calgary
  10. Imagine being petan. Even a AHL dman plays 4th line fwd before you. That's a look in the mirror moment for sure lmao I like what burroughs brings. We need more skilled NHL versions of him though
  11. Sad news is LA only has to play CLB , ANA x2 , CHI , SEA , and us lol. Kinda easy route. Only thing going for us is the hope good teams rest guys, And the younger teams LA has to play are hungry for wins
  12. For awhile now i figured we would miss by 3 points.. But the way LA has slowly started to trip up, We could be only 2 points back if we win both games in hand. We play once as well. This is getting pretty wild considering our 2 month struggle and endless clear as day issues. I'm not stoked about the upcoming minni game. That's waay too big of a team for us at this time of year. Will probably mop the floor with us again causing more injuries...
  13. You know, I decided to give the jays hype a chance... But these two doing the anthem..... Worst thing ever
  14. Good for him. Honestly looked like a NHL vet in net. Very poised, Not flopping around chasing the play. 5.75m gets you demko and a backup? oof
  15. I see a fair amount saying bo is a perfect 3c. Lol maybe on team canada? 30+ goal scoring, top of the league faceoff machine.. Yeah everyone has those I've always seen him as a 2. But hes not this defensive specialist some think either
  16. UFA at the end of next year. For a team really looking to go ufa shopping and load up.. Imagine signing huberdeau & miller. Watch out for seattle? lol
  17. Now that we don't need to worry about the playoffs, It's time to start seeing some younger guys in prime rolls to see how they handle it. Bones in the pressbox and hunt on the PP doesn't help us now nor the future. After a decade of doing the same meaningless thing over and over again... Let's switch things up so we can finally see some progression. OK start, Got a little bit of cap space and moved on from a injury prone 4th liner turning UFA. Previous management would have signed him to a 4 year deal with nmc. I hope we opt for a re tool. I wouldn't invest anything into adding to this current build. There is no on ice chemistry. The near historical worst PK while having one of the top goalies is soooooooooooooo pathetic. Not to mention how little pushback we have when playing anyone with a tough guy... That minni game not too long ago was a total embarrassment. I don't want to be built like the ducks or devils. Bunch of skinny skilled kids who get injured all the time. Hope for change starts this off season!!
  18. Zegras is an amazing player but he has another thing coming if he's ever in the NHL playoffs lmao. First year player acting real entitled vs a cup winning vet. Welcome to the big leagues kid i believe the old saying is
  19. I will stop watching the canucks if we sign him. I hate this player. He can put up points but the biggest floater ever. I don't want his sour attitude around our locker room. Same goes for you carolina... You better not sign him lol
  20. Thought he was done yeeeeaaars ago... Waiting for horcoff and penner to just now retire as well lmao
  21. They don't ref, They game manage with clear bias. Not just us, Every game always has 1 favorite. It's been pretty obviously the florida teams are some of the favorite favorites however Bettman is such dog water
  22. Lol, Big team vs little team... It will look that way. Remember how we act when myers gets called for a high hit ect..
  23. Maybe our new management will see the benefit of having a tough team. It's like kids vs men lol. Feel kinda bad for the team
  24. Man wild fans are lucky. I wish our team played the way they do. Bunch of big guys that rough you up every chance they get. I want to see calgary and minny play in the playoffs
