  1. I definitely don't know much about Nate like you and others obviously do, and this makes me excited, what you're saying. I'm already thinking about how much better Tanev was with Hughes and how much better Nate could be with him. It'll be easy to wash down with the champagne from the mouth of Lord Stanley. I lol'd. I wish I could give more pluses
  2. It's not about could've but rather should've. I love and will miss our boys - Marky, Tanev, Stech - but Benning is trying to win us a cup. I choose cup over sentimentality.
  3. If people want to blame anyone, blame Tanev for signing the contract. He got offered more money and term, so I, for one, won't blame him. And for those blaming Benning for contracts and not being able to sign 6x6 or 4.5x4, well, blame Hughes and Petey for speeding up JBs rebuild timeline, something no one saw coming. Don't fret, Benning still has lots of time to make moves.
  4. Absolutely. Can't Kesler him like Gillis did all those years with fringe 2nd liners.
  5. JB & Co are working hard right now and likely giving nothing away, so the media might just be reporting to report something, and what better to report to Nucks fans than something negative.
  6. Judd Brackett does it again. How does he do it? Edit: Beat me to it, @Robert Long
  7. I'm very upset that the NHL didn't play recorded BOOs for when Bettman came out to award the cup. Sacrilege!
  8. This. He and the entire team know he could cost us some very important assets and team players, and all because he can't see the light that he's done in the league. I think he'll do the right thing and retire or terminate and move on. I also think this will be a year where we're all pleasantly surprised at how well things work out for us.
  9. I've been a Jake supporter since the beginning, but at some point management has to realize that he can't be ready for even one training camp at the beginning of a season, nor for training camp for a series that WILL GET US INTO THE PLAYOFFS. The emphasis is added for good reason. If Jake can't get up for playoffs, when the entire rest of his team is, then he never will. (Maybe he will with another team, but he won't with us.) Ship him out for his own good. And for our good. I'm sure Green et al will be happy to not have to continue developing a player each year like that, only to not see things sink in time and time again. Jake is a classic example of a young person squandering a golden opportunity. It's a total shame.
  10. Trade Sutter, Roussel, Benn, and Beagle. Give Gaudette and Jake more leash with amped up ice time. Keep Demko. Play OJ. Oh, and trust whatever Benning does.
  11. Our young core stepping up impressed me the most. To do what they did at such a young age with little to no NHL postseason experience says to me we're in for a run with at least one cup in our near future.
  12. Oh, man, I read Apropos right when it came out. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still thinks he's innocent, ha! Such an interesting story the whole Mia thing. If anyone even took an hour to look I to it they'd see right away how innocent he is and how sadly messed up Mia and her family is. And I agree, the book thread is only used by crickets. It's a shame. I'm definitely going to check out all the Kaufman. Good stuff.
  13. Definitely not all on him, but Marky was visibly tired. Should've started Demko. He's capable.
  14. I've been saying this every game, we need our legs to win. Any time we're a little tired we lose. When our legs are light and moving we dominate. We got this! 3-2 Nuckeroos
  15. I agree. I'll take it into a different thread. I'll mention you in the George Floyd thread...
