  1. Brent Sutter & Dave Lowry no longer with the Flames.

    1. Shift-4

      Shift-4

      I thought DLowry would be next head coach

      Hmmm. Fresh voices for a new direction methinks.

  2. Will Oreskovich be in the system next season?

    1. Xbox

      Xbox

      Hopefully not. He is a waste of a contract

  3. I wonder if Dustin Brown is still gonna get moved considering the way he's been playing.

  4. Wolves or Canucks should sign Bud Holloway this off-season. 49 points in 55 SEL games this season. Currently leading the SEL's playoffs with 4 goals/7 points in 6 games. 6'1/201 pounds. Former 3rd round pick. Has put up 60 points in the AHL before. Also led his AHL team with 11 points in 7 playoff games at the end of last year.

      Doesn't LA still have his rights?

  5. Cory Schneider for Ryan Johansen would be the perfect trade. I wonder how desperate Howson will be for a goalie at the draft.

      Columbus could compete next year if they had a competent GM, Nash could acquire most of the pieces they need. How could they let Hitchcock go?

      I wonder if Howson will still have a job at the draft.

      We can get way more for Schneider, but Johansen's gonna be a great player

  6. Pascal Depuis having a seriously underrated season. Another 2 goals tonight. 40 points in 66 games.

    1. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      For a while, I used to call him Pascal Dufus. Not anymore lol.

      You really are a rat.

    3. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      Pshh, I only did that when he was in Minnesota. ;)

  7. Kassian is gonna look great with the Sedins whenever he gets the chance. He's gonna be great at picking up Kesler's garbage & forechecking. And if he plays in the bottom-6 he'll throw his weight around. Basically, he can play anywhere and be effective.

      Wonder what AV has in mind for the lines.

    3. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      ^^Lol, yeah, no team really wins... the big winners are Phalsson, Kassian, and Gragnani themselves.

    4. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      ...because they end up with the Canucks!

  8. Mason Raymond once again 5 games without a goal (or point). Hardly looks good in the offensive zone, although he is working hard. Does Gillis really trust him for a playoff run?

    1. canuck_trevor16

      canuck_trevor16

      if he scores a OT goal in the SCF..we will all love him.....

  9. I sure hope GMMG is kicking the tires on Morrow.

  10. Great game by Mason Raymond tonight. I especially liked when he fell down on that perfect chance when nobody was touching him. Now has 1 goal in his past 10 games.

  11. If I were Kenny Holland, I'd go all in for one more run with Lidstrom on defense.

    1. Captain Aerosex

      Captain Aerosex

      I'm pretty sure Kenny Holland of all people knows what he's doing.

    2. DarthNinja

      Lidstrom should take a serious paycut to help the team fly over the top. Imagine an additional extra $4-$5 mil in cap space on that team with Lidstrom there.

    3. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      True, but Nicklas doesn't owe them anything. I think he really wanted to retire this year, but stayed on with the surprise retiring of Rafalski, just so the Wings weren't screwed.

  12. Mason Raymond = 1 point, -3 in the past 8 games.

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Raymond's not playing his best at the moment but he hasn't been floating or invisible. He'll come around.

    2. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      what's your point ?

    3. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      Just pointing out a fact, take it however you want.

  13. Heard from an unreliable source that Schroeder could be part of a trade with Tampa Bay.

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      It couldn't possibly be as unreliable as Eklund. Your source is still good.

    2. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      I guess, just sharing something I heard, but I don't really expect it to happen.

  14. Games like these it would be great to have a guy like Tuomo Ruutu throwing big hits while being an offensive threat.

  15. Ian White is leading the league in plus/minus.

  16. If Terry Murray does indeed get fired, I hope GMMG hires him in some sort of position. Maybe as a replacement for Scott Mellanby? Maybe in place of Bowness? He'd be a great guy to have in the system if AV's voice becomes eventually ignored by the players. Terry Murray, Newell Brown & Craig MacTavish could be a sweet coaching trio one day.. All coaches have a shelf-life.

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Why would AV's voice be ignored by the players ? lol our system and coaching is ten times better thanks but NO ....

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i hope AV leads this team to several stanley cups before you hasten him out the door....i know MG agrees.

    3. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      I sure hope so as well, but you never know. Coaches like Lindy Ruff and Trotz are the exception, not the rule.

  17. Man, Emery looks so bad tonight.

  18. Jarkko Ruutu 3rd on his team in points! Go Ruutu go.

  19. Tyler Myers = healthy scratch.

    1. Venom52

      Venom52

      ^Well said my friend.

  20. Eric Staal, despite a 2 point game tonight has 7 points in 17 games this season and is -17.

    1. The Wizard of AZ

      The Wizard of AZ

      Boyd Gordon scored again :D

    2. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      Hahah yeah, I saw that. My wish of PHX getting lit up definitely did not occur. Mike Smith is also on fire. DAMNIT.

  21. With Langkow taking a personal leave and Hanzal day-to-day, who will play center for Yotes? I hope they get lit up tomorrow.

    2. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      Hahaha. I am guessing Boyd Gordon and then they'll force Hanzal into playing.

    3. The Wizard of AZ

      The Wizard of AZ

      Cal O'reilly, gordon, miele, chipchura

    4. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      Hahaha. Brown, never knew PHX was soooo deep at center. Maybe Gordon can keep the .5 PPG clip!

  22. Salo expected back tonight.

    1. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      Our lineup is improved already then.

    2. Mr.DirtyDangles
  23. Bickell scratched in Chicago! 0 points, -3 in the last 3 games. 5 points, -6 on the year.

    1. unbridled_id

      unbridled_id

      About time... 6'4" 230 and half the time he plays like he is 5'11" 165..

    2. Ilya Mikheyev

      Ilya Mikheyev

      Yeah, he's having a rough time it seems. Wonder if he is on the trade block. Bickell for Comeau?

  24. Airtight stat: When the VAN Canucks score 5 or more goals, the fretting about Roberto Luongo stops. Funny how that works. - Hodge

  25. Jacob Markstrom sent down to the AHL.
