  1. I'll be optimistic. We only need a 33 game win streak to win the cup!
  2. I extrapolated the remaining games based on current winning percentages. For VAN, I used only Bruce's coaching record, and ignored the Travis Green portion. This ignores trade deadline changes, and interplay schedule between teams. CGY 50-22-10 110 LA 44-28-10 98 EDM 45-31-6 96 NASH 47-30-5 99 DAL 46-32-4 96 VAN 40-31-11 91 VGK 42-35-5 89 WPG 38-31-13 89 Van would go 9-5-3 in the final stretch. DAL has an eas(ier) schedule, but has to play VAN twice. Edmonton and VAN have a tougher schedule. Conclusion: We need DAL or EDM to crap the bed, and it can't be against WPG or VGK too many times. We need to have a run of something like 12/17 games to make it to playoffs.
  3. I just ran the numbers, and that's surprising. If you extrapolate the teams record under Bruce, and cancel Travis Green portion of the season, we'd be in a battle with Calgary right now for first in the division. The team clearly needs to improve on D though. We have a few more prospects graduating next season. We may be just 1 or 2 hockey trades away from truly competing.
  4. Any word if the League is going to review the kneeing incident?
  5. That was the most complete game we played all year. The whole team showed up and got the job done.
  6. https://canucksarmy.com/2022/02/25/report-canucks-sign-prospect-linus-karlsson-shl-season-concludes/ "The Vancouver Canucks will sign centre prospect Linus Karlsson once his SHL season concludes, according to Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie and Dhali – The Team." - FEBRUARY 25, 2022
  7. Beat me to it!!! Why stop at 25, when you can get 26? Edit. They are going on the PP. Might we see a hatty? - Nope, it's going to overtime!
  8. He will finish out his regular season in the next couple days and probably make a deep run in the SHL playoffs. After his season is over, I expect the Canucks will sign him a week after his season ends. He probably isn't going to be in the lineup this season, but I think he's a lock to make the team next year, at which time he will be turning 23 (Nov).
  9. That's true, and I think most people understand this is to fill 4th line hole in the lineup for this season. He's got some good PK and faceoff experience. He will help the younger guys learn a few things. It has nothing to do with next year, as we have Linus Karlsson make a push. In other news, Karlsson just broke Petey's goal record in the SHL by a rookie. He's older than Petey was at the time, but it's still a good sign. And if that doesn't work out, there will be all sorts of options in the off season.
  10. He broke the record! Game is still in progress. https://www.skellefteaaik.se/gamecenter/qZl-8uH1JMhOu__2022-03-22-1900-lulea-hockey-skelleftea-aik
  11. I don't think you can trade him. He'd clear waivers.
  12. We can make a couple trades, and still compete. The market is ripe for the picking! I hear Colorado hasn't made a splash yet?
  13. What's the projected Colorado offer? If it's a roster player and 2 prospects (instead of a pick), then Philly might need to move a contract slot first (currently at 49/50)? I wonder if that's the holdup here.
  14. Linus Karlsson will be coming over soon, and he looks ready to slot in.
  15. Is Ryan Fitzgerald on waivers to try to free up a contract spot for Philly? Capfriendly has them at 49/50.
  16. Our D needs an overhaul aside from Quinn. Don't get me wrong, those guys are serviceable, but if we put a proper D core in front of Demko, he'd be in the Vezina conversation.
  17. I don't disagree, so what do you have in mind? This won't happen, but maybe someone like Josh Anderson? Someone that can put up some numbers, but can also hit with some size.
