  1. It's a weird one because, unless there's something we don't know about yet, all his offences came while employed by other teams. But that's the harsh reality of working in the public eye.
  2. I'm predicting this summer, unless the Lames go on a long playoff run which I don't see happening. His future likely hinges on who takes over from Peters and how the team responds.
  3. It sounds like it has already happened. Treliving is having a press conference in about an hour to give all the news/sports outlets someone to quote in their stories.
  4. I don't think he will either, but when he eventually does get fired, I think it will fit into your excuse #1. He will be stale and have used up all his tricks. I just hope that when the time comes there is someone available that will be a great fit to take the team to the next level.
  5. I don't have a problem with that. We deserve it.
  6. Game 2 of the home-and-finally-back-home series. Predict the winner and the score. (4pts for both, 1pt for just the winner) Bonus question - Who scores the GWG? (1pt) The updated leaderboard will be available in the Canuck vs Ottawa PTSC thread. My predictions: Canucks win 4 - 2 Miller with the GWG. Good luck and Go Go!
  7. Well that was crazy. You may be surprised to learn that nobody correctly predicted that final score. On to the next one... I am posting both games at once due to the back-to-back games. Ensure you put the correct prediction in the correct thread. It's the weekend, and I am feeling generous. Lots of points available between these two games. Predict the winner and the score. (4pts for both, 1pt for just the winner) Bonus question - Which team scores first? (1pt) Bonus bonus question - Which player scores the first goal? (1pt) Special edition bonus question - Predict the outcome of this home-and-home series. Canucks win both, Oilers win both or split. (3pts) For obvious reasons, this prediction must be made in this thread before the first game starts. Updated leaderboard: My predictions: Oilers win 4 - 2 Oilers score first Draisaitl scores the first goal Series gets split Good luck, and Go Go!
  8. Baertschi was at the end of the stretch where he could be returned to Utica without having to clear waivers again. It was probably planned this way all along. Not much to discuss really.
  9. Nice summary. I sure hope JB is right about Juolevi. I feel like that kid is getting written off too early by many people due to all his injuries. I still feel like he was the right pick at the time. It's just too bad how things have worked out for him so far.
  10. Basically, a coach has only so many tricks up his sleeve to motivate a team. After a coach has been with a team for a long enough time, he runs out of tricks. At that point, it is time for a fresh start. It is rare to see a coach that has been with a team for a long time finally win it all. It's more typical that a new coach will provide fresh jump to a team and helps take them to another level. Right now the Canucks are not contenders and do not appear to have tuned out the current coaching staff. I think they are still at least a couple of years worth of maturing and turnover before they start looking like real contenders. By that time Green will likely have run his course and then a new coach can take the team to the next level. There are exceptions to every rule.
  11. Maybe one day in the future, but not yet. Considering most coaches have a shelf life I don't think we need to necessarily go chasing our next level coach just yet. Besides, who would we replace him with right now?
  12. Totally agree with you. I wonder if the fact that it happened while he had a completely different employer will come in to play on this. If he had done it during his tenure with the Flames it would be cut and dry, but because it was ten years ago within a different team's system, could he plea that he was a different person back then? That he has changed over the years?
  13. Last game was another rough one for Canuck fans. Nobody predicted the final score. Lots of people got a single point for picking the Flyers to either win or take more penalties. Some people were predicting the GWG which wasn't even an option. A bunch of new people joined in. Lots of time left to catch up to the leaders. I'm planning a few special 'extra bonus points' games in the future. Make sure you play every game to maximize your chances. Game 25 of this 36 game road trip (or so it feels like)... Predict the winner and the score. (4pts for both, 1pt for just the winner) Bonus question - Which team takes more shots? (1pt) Updated leaderboard: My predictions: Penguins win 4 - 2 Penguins shoot more Good luck, and Go Go!
  14. No prob. It's kinda fun and I try to do as much of it as I can on company time.
  15. It was as good a reason as any for inspiration for today's bonus question.
  16. Seems about standard for the DoPs. Way too light. If they want to take out dangerous plays like this they have to start handing out real suspensions.
  17. Nice win by the Canucks last game. Nobody predicted that score but several people picked up two points by predicting the Canucks would win and the Caps would score first. Next up... Predict the winner and the score. (4pts for both, 1pt for just the winner) Bonus question - Which team gets more penalties (in minutes)? (1pt) No Fence Sitting rule applies. Updated leaderboard: My predictions: Canucks win 4-2 Philly takes more penalties Good luck, and Go Go!
  18. Well that was fast. @DS4quality and @Whale Tail with two points each already.
