  1. If it was rigged the nhl wouldn't have sent McDavid to purgatory in Edmonton where he couldn't attract new American nhl fans.
  2. If we stay 9th, I saw go for the homerun in Caufield! DeBrincat would be a top 5 pick in his draft now if it wasn't for his size. All Caufield does is score goals!
  3. Henrik Zetterberg played all 82 games in his last year and then went on LTIR for the next season due to his back. Luongo already misses a bunch of games due to injuries, unlike zetterberg, so he can easily go on LTIR due to his hips/knees.
  4. Hmm first shut out of the year with no gudbranson. Schenn looked more than fine as a replacement and acted as a deterrent to Anaheim trying anything in a 4-0 game.
  5. AHL counts as pro hockey, so leaving him there doesn't affect his expansion status.
  6. Can't wait to see Bobby Orr in March or next year! He will help our pp immensel and we'll finally have another player other than Elias that can skate the puck from our blueline to theirs and not dump it in!
  7. Why hello my old friend! 8 losses in a row. 23rd overall, while having played 3-4 more games than almost everyone below us. The Jack Hughes dream isn't dead yet!
  8. Best in the NHL 2017 Draft Getting some Hart trophy love from the eastern media from of all people Jeff O'Neil!
  9. Pettersson is so godly, he's managed to turn my cold, tanking heart! Before, when I saw a bad team like Detroit on the schedule, I was like damn, not good for the tank. Now, I'm like I wonder how many points Pettersson can get against this bad team! I want the canucks to make the playoffs and Pettersson to win the hart now! The west being such crap now has also influenced me because outside of nashville and winnipeg, the rest of the west doesn't scare me and Pettersson can beat any of the other west teams in a best of 7 in the playoffs!
  10. So reading the athletties, anyone know how long Tryamkin has had his Instagram avatar as him in a canucks jersey? Has it been a while or recently due to the benching in Russia?
  11. Man you guys all complain when leafs players get hyped up so much, that when finally one of our players is getting hyped up nationally you want them to calm down? I say screw that. Hype the Swedish Gretzky to the moon cause he deserves it!
  12. I guess when I said Pettersson will end up being the greatest swede in history, I was underrating him!
  13. I will give Benning credit for learning from his past draft mistakes. Virtanen over nylander and ehlers was a mistake that he corrected in the Pettersson draft. I had no horse in the glass/Pettersson debate at the time because I didn't know enough about either, so wasn't going to get upset about either pick. However, I was happy that he went for the smaller skilled euro with more offensive upside than the bigger and safer Canadian pick. Plus, I was extremely happy he went for the smaller, but more dynamic and offensively exciting Hughes over dobson and Bouchard this past draft. I just love skilled offensive players over the bigger safer players if the skill gap is big enough.
  14. Benning also took McCann over pastrnak, so he's not perfect.
  15. I would be ecstatic about Hughes, but I'm also falling in love with kakko and would take him as the consolation prize. There are also some top centres I don't know much about, but scouts are high on. It's supposed to be a good draft next year with elite centre talent available.
  16. Brock is an outlier though. Pettersson and Quinn Hughes say otherwise. You're more likely to get Patrick white, Schroeder, shinkaruk, Jensen, McCann and gaunce type players in Brock's draft spot.
  17. Actually Linden was on the radio saying they would have taken neither Patrick or hirscher if they won the lottery. Not sure if they had Pettersson ranked over the dmen, but the point still stands that being bad is the only way to land these superstar top picks. Hoping Pettersson wins the calder and we finish last overall for another top pick!
  18. As a member of #TeamTank, it brings me great joy watching our new God Pettersson do his dekes and snipe top cheese. It's like watching our tanking baby all grown up and reaffirmation that tanking works. Pettersson will be leading us to the promised land in the future and Quinn Hughes will be coming next year. Hopefully we get Jack Hughes, kappo or another top 5 pick next summer! The future is looking bright and our tanking years will soon be behind us and will have been all worth it!
  19. Jack is the dream, but we never win the lottery. There's also kakko and some top centres to choose from.
  20. I know it's just pre-season and I shouldn't get my hopes up, but their play so far is encouraging from a #TeamTank perspective. Hopefully, it carries over to the regular season because all I want this year is to watch Pettersson do his dekes and get another top 5 pick!
  21. That game just confirmed my thinking that he will be the best swedish born player in history!
  22. My God Hughes is a beauty! That's exactly why I wanted him over dobson and Bouchard. He has electrifying elite offensive talent that those 2 don't have.
  23. Our own Marty St Louis with his tree trunk legs!
