  1. You can pretty much post that in *ANY* Canucks game thread & be correct.
  2. It'll take a few more Leaf games for the Kraken to select a 5.7 million 30+ year old backup goalie.
  3. Milford also traded a 2nd round pick for a 22 year old Thomas Gradin. I mean forget what Gradin did for the Canucks on the ice. As a scout, he helped in the drafting of the Sedins, Edler & I think Ohlund. Burke will tell you it was Gradin that convinced him to go 'all in' for the Sedins. Jeebus, Gradin's mother babysat Naslund as a child lol! (true story!)
  4. https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/04/21/ted-nugent-covid-orig-jk.cnn Some people will never learn.
  5. Salo injured? Nah that wouldn’t be believable.
  6. They didn’t take action when the Calgary Flames deliberately iced a roster less than the mandated size a number of years back. They were at the cap limit and had a number of guys injured. They couldn’t call up anyone nor activate anybody (the nature of some of the injured players were not as bad as forcing to put those guys on LITR). Not a single peep from the league.
  7. And he's a rookie that hasn't been used much. As you said, even vets make mistakes. Let the kid play! He'll learn from actually being on the ice.
  8. And makes it clear why the Laffs were generally 1st round exits in the post-season (you can't win with that kind of goaltending regardless who else you have on the roster). Leafs next goalie:
  9. Hard to believe he was one year younger than Schmidt is today when Benning first was hired as GM of the Canucks. Time flies go fast.
  10. Depends on the gap between the countries. Plus I don’t know how their cap works over there (heh, not that I know a lot about the NHL cap rules ). How much bonus money is there over there? Is it part of that cap? What about ‘under the table’ money (payoffs to friends/family like free accommodation, etc.,). Not that we’re all Boy Scouts over here, but I’d imagine there’s a fair amount of corruption over there. Again, just my speculation.
  11. This about the worst goaltending we've faced his season? Not that I mind.
  12. I want my Grandma to give him an old fashioned 'bowl cut'! . . . . . . . (I shouldn't be the only one to have suffered from that )
  13. Hopefully OJ gets a chance to play some real minutes. He ain’t going to learn from sitting in the press box or stapled to the bench.
  14. Jim Sandlak looked like Eric Lindros in the WJC. Laffs went with bust Pogge over Vezina winner Rask I think based on a strong WJC.
  15. Sound (and cheap) veteran players don't seem to be this management's strong suit. Weird, as one normally expects the opposite with a GM (being unable to acquire elite players). Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.
  16. Better to spend that cap space on a 3C and or depth of defense if Edler isn’t re-signed.
