  1. Score: Vancouver wins 4-2 Bonus question - Over/Under on 5.5 total goals scored. - Over Bonus bonus question - Which player scores first, either team. Miller Super bonus question (10pts) - Tampa Bay wins the Cup
  2. I specifically came into this thread to ask the same question. Whats the deal with Reid? Consistently top scoring in Utica, others guys being promoted to the big leagues ahead of him. Anyone has a specific answer?
  3. Just loving the D this year! Strong D-zone breakouts, contributing offensively. All leads to more possession and hopefully less injuries. Can't get enough of the big D!
  4. Aw don't give up, Keep going! You can beat this guy!
  5. It's player management more than anything. I said this in a post a while back about why Gaudette wasn't on the opening night roster. Kid is new to being a full time NHL player. You want to keep him engaged, hungry, rested. Taking a night off here and there is not going to hurt him, only going to fuel him for next game. Remember when they sat Boeser like 6 games into the season 2 years ago? It's ok, it will all be ok
  6. See above, But also Defenceman can give his stick to a goalie if its a legal hand off Goalie can give his stick to defenceman (but shouldn't) You can score when only wearing 1 glove You can potentially score without a helmet, but it will be the refs interpretation of Rule 9.6, and what they consider a reasonable period of time. A player on the ice whose helmet comes off during play shall be assessed a minor penalty if he does not exit the playing surface, or retrieve and replace his helmet properly on his head (with or without his chin strap fastened), within a reasonable period of time
  7. I don't know... I'm ok with the OP making this thread because this is truly the last year for Jake (And Jake threads). It's clear, now that we have added Miller and Ferland if Jake gets it this year he has a home, if he doesn't he's gone. With Ferlands mentorship and being given Gaudette for energy, we have done everything we can for Jake. IMHO I think this is his last year in a Nucks uniform, but hey, he's young and can prove me wrong. If he does, good for him, if he doesn't then he can move along and I doubt sending him to Philly or Carolina (examples) will really make a difference for his game or the Canucks game. I'm as indifferent as Jake's attitude.
  8. Great way of breaking down the other tangibles that aren't always looked at or considered by most in a trade.
  9. Nothing I can add that hasn't already been said. Except: S**k it you dirty LA Drama Queens! AND Doughty attitude is an embarrassment to Canadian Hockey
  10. Ohhhh snap... This post is so angry. Makes me feel lots of confusing emotions. I'm like an emotional pretzel.
  11. No. Stop saying this, No. Virtanen should not be gifted anything. Virtanen should earn things. After 4 years, he should have figured this out, after 4 years CDC should have figured this out. No
  12. Sorry, late to the party. I'm from the Yukon. Been watching the 'Nucks up north for 25 years!
  13. I put milk and cookies out for Gary Bettman last night to ensure hockey season arrives! Looks like it worked! Go Nucks Go!
  14. Exactly. I'm amazed that some people keep coming up with new excuses for JV's lack of performance. When will people get it. He is a fringe NHL'er who can be replaced quite easily. A big guy who doesn't hit, A fast guy who doesn't rush the puck, a young guy who doesn't get it.... Man, this is not a diamond in the rough here
  15. This drives me crazy. So your argument with Jake is he needs to play with better players? Isn't it true that every player would be better if they played with better players? Maybe Jake playing like dead weight is just Jake......and maybe attaching that dead weight to a rising up and com'er isn't the best idea?
  16. Gaudette in the box would be the right call. Yes, he deserves to make the team, and he did. Thats his reward for an awesome preseason... but we need to channel his passion and not burn him out. He is going to be chomping at the bit to get on the ice, so we are going to channel that and help him improve his NHL game through practice and video. So when he hits the ice as a full time NHL player, he does so with maximum intensity.
  17. What it the point in having those skills if he never uses them? What value is someone who only taps into his potential 1 in every 5 games? How can a coach rely on that?
  18. If the between the lines message is he showed up to camp out of shape, then I honestly dont know what to do with this kid. I've been so disappointed over the years. Yes, there have been some positive moments, but way too many negatives. Way too inconsistent and coasting like he could give a s**t Tired of the same people defending him, saying he will come around, PF's take longer to develop etc. I wouldnt even give him the season. If by xmas break he hasn't put it together then take a 2nd rounder for him and move on. Jake, You've been put on notice
  19. Thats what i figured. Thanks. So in the current scenario, it really is Brock's choice to not be at camp, by not accepting whatever offer is on the table. Obviously not knowing what the offer is it's hard to say whether Brock is making a good/bad choice.... but it does lean towards him not being much of a team player. Or am I oversimplifying things too much?
  20. Hey Guys! Question: Can Brock simply tell his agent to take a deal in order to get him playing, even if its not a good one? Or is an agent completely in charge of negotiations? I apologize for such a simple, and possibly stupid question. For all my hockey knowledge, I don't have a good understanding of the inter workings of contract negotiations. Would like someone to explain to me whose the real boss, Brock or his agent
  21. I will reserve my judgement on Doug and Kyper leaving... until I hear who their replacements are. For all their good and bad rants and takes..... it might be about to get a lot worse depending on who they put in. (Even Strombo had me wanting Maclean back... which i never thought possible!!)
