  1. That was weird... look like Smith got mad... thought he got beat and lost his stick lol
  2. That's twice in a row they ran interference on Pearson trying to gain the zone.
  3. Holy Crap... Hogz almost did the lacrosse at full speed on the go. You could see it almost was there for him.
  4. Which way is the 3rd going to go? We belly flop on the coming storm, or hold the fort long enough for them to get really frustrated and spill over? Edit. Giddy up. This period is going to a good one!
  5. Demko has been sharp. Maybe not the peak he was before our break... but pretty darn good so far! And the team overall D has been a little more helpful than last few games. Hopefully they can sustain it in the third.
  6. Connor McFrustrated ... has the puck. I'm calling him to go to the box soon. Undisciplined coming right up!
  7. Please Please Please.... somebody needs to record that stick smashing for a gify replay!!!!
  8. Objectively, the Canucks have 5 or 6 guys that might play well the rest of the season. The rest of "the replacements" will be a no-show on the scoresheet (despite effort) just like the previous games. Our defense is suspect, collectively, all over the ice. The best we could do is get lucky and poke the puck and get behind their D for a lucky one on a breakaway. Our special teams needs a complete overhaul. Our defensive system needs a complete overhaul as well. Our goaltending is good, but the defense hangs them out to dry. Add in McJesus trying to reach 100 - I expect a big blowout in this one, just not sure how big?
  9. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more shots fired via a unified message from 25+ other teams that they disagree with the decision. This will probably die off here, but it shouldn't.
  10. It's not public, so no. My guess is we offered close to league minimum at 1-1.25M, so he could "re-prove" himself and play bottom 6 role. He probably wanted 3-4M saying he has already shown what he can do.
  11. I feel the same way. Tryamkin would have been a good fit, and we needed to offer better than lowball. Our D is not that good... not contending quality or even close. By the time the year is over, we've thrown away Guadette, Tryamkin, with Jake on deck. Highmore is probably a several dozen games away from waivers. We threw away Madden for Tofolli only to not resign him. Baertschi experiment was a waste of time. And these waiver pickups need to all go on waivers again. The makeup of this team is becoming a big mess.
  12. Nikita is not a rookie anymore, he's 26 and in his prime! In my mind, not really a question mark either... he's played enough for us to know what he brings. He's a hulking D man that can skate surprisingly well for his size. He uses his stick and size to defend and keep guys to the outside. Willing to drop the gloves and stick up for his team mates. Limited offensive upside, but can wear down opponents playing big minutes. We probably lowballed him for a tryout style contract and in the end ended up with nothing. Not even a late rounder to negotiate somewhere else.
  13. Wow, I can't believe it. We are just bleeding wasted picks. We are going to have to rebuild the rebuild before this is over. Our young core captain hits FA in just 2 more years.
