  1. I used to hate playing the Wild because the games were boring, now I hate playing the Wild because they're frustrating games to watch
  2. I am too, he came back under multiple burners I wonder if he's still around
  3. I'd be very surprised if they did tbh. NHL wants to use the Olympics as leverage against the NHLPA in negotiations, and the NHLPA seems tired of always giving the NHL what they want.
  4. Teams likely don't want to miss out on plugging what holes they can, there appear to be more buyers than sellers this season. I'm actually kinda hoping Calgary and Edmonton don't get anything, but if they do I hope they have to overpay for someone who fits their cap restrictions.
  5. Blues needed someone to take those minutes, it's a solid deal for both sides. That'll likely be a low 2nd rounder anyway.
  6. Trade makes even more sense with Boeser out long term. Grinding to stay in the playoff race during a year most didn't expect us to be in the mix is worth more to this team than Madden and a 2nd. This team needs to play meaningful games to foster it's development.
  7. The real winner here is Horvat, he's had Boeser and he's had Baer but he's never had two legit second liners on his wings as a Canuck. I hope they mesh quickly and produce.
  8. I'm okay with the trade, still rooting for Madden though. I hope he makes the Kings and does well against everyone but us. Would love to see him become a Flames/Oilers killer.
  9. I'm fine with it, Madden wasn't going to supplant hockey Gaud as our third line center. If he'd gotten to the bigs with us it'd have likely been as a winger. We've got other good forward prospects, trading him and a 2nd isn't the end of the world. If Toffoli resigns we won't care about a 4th round pick. Gotta give to get, and with Boeser out for a good while and Ferland done for the season we needed some help up front. Sooner or later we've gotta make the playoffs and get these guys some experience, may as well be this season. I'd rather do this than some of the deals I've seen proposed for Simmonds. There's always risk involved when making trades, but putting Toffoli with Pearson and Bo sounds good to me. Be interesting to see how we juggle our cap if the intent is to re-sign Toffoli, and considering they tacked on the potential 4th rounder I imagine that's the plan.
  10. Ugh, I hope that playoff expansion bit doesn't happen. Four rounds is already a huge grind.
  11. Kypreos with a lot of egg on his face, should post this on his twitter.
  12. I hate these games against teams we should probably beat, they're often tougher than they need to be. I'll give the Ducks credit, they came ready to play, but this is a game we probably should have won. We've had a habit of playing down to the level of teams we should beat for years. I know about the parity around the league and how any team can beat any team, but many of our guys didn't show very well today and that's been a recurring theme of late.
  13. That's quite the price for Tampa to pay. Who knows what that pick will look like though. I'm surprised they gave up Foote, but they've only got so many years to get a cup out of this group.
