longsuffering

Just not a Russian

Watching this year's playoffs it seems to me that physical size, strength and agression are essential for success as well as skill and speed.

Watching the Islanders playing the in the SCup playoffs tonight it puzzles me how they could have won the first pick overall. Surely there is something wrong in the lottery system tha this could happen. Shouldn't the draw for 1-3 be amongst teams that did not make the playoffs?

"this team always finds ways to disappoint." Harrison Mooney

If he has 5 points and is still minus 6... that is pretty dismal

This!

He left his stars in Dallas

I doubt that I will this year after 10 years of hoping.

"In the end, the Canucks have precious little to show for what was once one of the game's top goaltending tandems. A year ago, they had Cory Schneider and Luongo, now both are gone and the Canucks have Matthias and a couple of prospects (Markstrom and ninth overall pick Bo Horvat) in return. If the Canucks take a hit on the salary cap because of recapture five or six years down the road, well, that's just a bitter aftertaste to a situation that hasn't been very pleasant for the past couple seasons anyway."

Aha.....so it is Tegan and Sarah Patrick !?!.....that explains it.

Brutal give-away on the Kunitz goal.....Daniel looked pretty "done" all game. Still .... the Canucks come home with two Gold medals and two Silver! Not bad!

Daniel has played well in Sochi and is playing for Gold!

Luie Erickson? what would we have to give Boston?

Not sure that Daniel with Kesler and Santorelli is going to help Daniel score. Neither of those players are set-up type players. Kesler is a one-man show ... a good one sometimes but can't see him helping Daniel.

Why do people think he is worth anything like what is suggested here. He played well for the Giants but looking at his stats he has not done much since then. What is his upside?

Yes, secondary scoring is huge problem but what has been a more glaring problem this season so far is our defensive end play. We have been constantly checked off the puck causing frequent turnovers and glaring give-aways. While we pressured up ice much better we have handed too many gift goals to other teams. (Before you say it....yes I was at the games)

Ruff and Tippet gone

I know it is father's day but really your father worship is really showing. Still I guess there has to be one person who blindly believes this rubbish about AV.

Or...has Gillis been beaten out again by a better GM?

The commentary on Torts was that he favoured a defensive shot-blocking style and then his team could not score! Is that what we want in Vancouver?
