Jim Robson voice..."Bob Nystrom scores the goal! The Islanders win the STANley CUP!" Keep getting early 80's flashbacks, with this crazy puck summer fest. Prob the teams involved, but also could be the compact playing schedules(?) ...btw, how bad will Isle fans be trollin' JohnnyPJ's, should next season happen to occur? Do they really need him? :^)

[Speculation] Finnish sniper Laine on the board
Nuxfanabroad replied to NHL'er's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Agreed. From 1st interview, seemed this guy's a head-case. -
Not hindsighting at all. A thread was made last wknd(before game 3)..day of the protest-kerfuffle Canucks Lined Up for 5 games in 7 nights..etc... ^^^^THIS is the thread. Check it out. I said use the backup & use depth. Many disagreed. I'm sorry..but WE(Canucks) F***ed it up royally!

Canucks lined up for 5 games in 7 nights - what’s the goalie scenario?
Nuxfanabroad replied to EP40.'s topic in Canucks Talk
It's possible & fair to state. But 5 in 7 left no choice. This was a 'rally the troops', we're-all-in-this-together moment. They're all stuck on a desert-freeken-isle. This was the opportunity to play that card, in my horriblyhumble opinion. -
One can't summarize everything through a title..certainly not the all-encompassing aspects of this(version of) franchise-overview. Regarding 'Rebuild Done' within title, felt this was more an indication of finally having the young, key pieces, & an upwards trajectory(as opposed to the ongoing spiral downwards) finally underway. & of course when started in Fall 2017, the title was different. Then kept changing the %(of rebuild) every few games. Intention then was to say, "Yeah, this is ugly. But c'mon folks, we're 75, 80...85, etc..% thru this tough slog..yada, yada" At that time places like(that OTHER site!) were soooo freeken ugly & negative. Rightly or wrongly, felt the folks on CDC should keep focusing on the positive angle. Due to the success(mostly, that is) of JB at the draft table, all positive threads have mostly aged as beautifully as Sophia-freeken-Loren. Of course we didn't know it would, at the time. We can all sip a glass of good whiskey today, looking back on a nice few yrs of a textbook-efficient reconstruction of roster. But yes, mostly agree with your post. Let's hope Tree ain't uprooted!

Horses have bolted. Barn door means SFA now! Had to make the hard choices last Friday. -

I usually don't go after Green. Think he's a pretty good coach for this young cast. But these past two tilts, were(in Latin) week-endus, holyfrackus-horribill-us! I'm afraid He fr*cked this up badly. He wasn't coaching with youngins' all excited to win. No. He was coaching afraid to LOSE! We were the underdogs. Why NOT roll with depth?..GoodGawd, what's there to lose with such a cool-headed approach? It shows confidence! Didn't trust his depth Didn't make adjustments Didn't use his fine backup Don't tell me the last time TD played. All these guys have had a freek'n month to get up to speed. Green kept going to the same well 'til it was bone-fr*ckin-dry! Said it two days back. USE. YOUR. DEPTH(ferGawdsakes!) You're not beating the Lost Vegan Rights with 19 exhausted pack mules. Just stupid really. -
A great guy like Maholtra takes a puck in the eye upending a fine career; why does Reaves get through unscathed, with his lips flapping like a 7 yr old? If ever there's a place I'd like to see a blazing slapper misdirected... Maybe nice guys never do get a fair shake? Btw, why did the Pens send the league-sanctioned goon to that filthy destination? Did Rutherford or The LEAGUE arrange that(for allowing crap in PO's)?!

Mike Gillis interviewed for Panthers GM job
Nuxfanabroad replied to EP40.'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
I like that MG helped shine light on Alan Eagleson corruption. Stubborn bloke, but pretty sharp/shrewd.(if only he coulda' drafted!) -
Kevin Bieksa Punches Ron MacLean On Live TV(Video)
Nuxfanabroad replied to Xanlet's topic in Canucks Talk
Venture a guess that Stewart figures he's the wicked(man) witch of the East? Every time he talks he's wavin' his arm around like he's holding a magic wand. Then my mind figures I'm on a rocking ship on turbulent seas, & I need a Gravol pill. Juice is a Godsend. But in a freeken puck-obsessed nation of 30 + mill, why can't they find 2 or 3(non-concussed) personalities, enlightening with a modicum of humour, & a peep-hole of insight?! I'd seriously much rather see HOST, Jim Carrey try to word-play & barge in on 3 puck-opinions with ludicrous non-sequiturs. -
[speculation] Domi on the move?
Nuxfanabroad replied to qwijibo's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If they'd take Baer/Roussel as well, I'd prob take the plunge.
