      Are you guys watching it somehow? I've only been listening on The Team.

      And no, I am not asking for illegal links/streams...just wondering if I'm missing something?

      Hockeystreams is a popular option deb. 100$ for a whole seasons pass of all nhl ahl games in HD

  2. most likely to crack the line up next season...baerschi, clendening, corrado and mccann.

      i never expect anyone to make it so there are no disappointments and sometimes i'm bo'ed over.

      I could see Baertschi in the top 6 for sure. Clendening 3rd pairing. Gaunce 4C and Shinkaruk 3LW. Everyone else I don't think is ready. That's still a lot of youth coming in.

  3. i get a laugh, reading ours and other teams forms...they all want to move players they don't seem to want for good players on other teams. and if management doesn't trade those players, then they are stupid and know nothing about hockey...kind of like reading the funny papers.

      If JB doesn't trade Stanton's rights for Duchene, he's not doing his job up to par.

    4. Miltt

      Miltt

      Bieksa, Sbisa, Higgins, Vey and a 3rd for the #1 pick.

  4. someone should make a list of all the proposals, so benning will know who he can keep....

  5. hamhuis, bieksa and edler, all playing through injuries...explains their less than reliable play....

      bieksa has a decision making injury,

  6. congrats pk'ers...great game.

      Weren't they fantastic? To hold it down not once but twice like that in the critical moments of the game. Wonderful.

  7. good luck canucks.

      Win this game, then win Game 6 at home, I want to watch that Game 7...

  8. i think benning should sign richardson, unless he feels that vey can provide what richie brings...i don't think so, right now...

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles
    2. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      He's up there. Vey is a different player type. Cap problems need work first. And prospects are getting ready.

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i don't think they can expect the rookies to be ready for next year...if they are good but they won't rush them...

  9. i think there will be a lot of teams trying to move their older players out for draft picks and younger players..the market may be flooded..

    1. c00kies

      c00kies

      Not to mention San Jose has the better veterans to sell off than we do lol.

  10. is benning looking at jeremy bracco...he said we get 23rd pick and have to get it right...he is going over and watching the usa play 3 games...the usa player ranked around 23rd is jeremy bracco..he sounds like another patrick kane or johnny hockey.

      Gstank29

      US players around 23 are

      Rosolvic

      Bracco

      Carlo

      Greenway

      White

      Novak

      Broser

      so they're lots of players that will be around when we pick in the 20's

    3. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      If we get a 2nd or 3rd, we should get Christian Fischer

      interview tuesday.

  11. win or lose, we're behind you boys...give them hell.

  12. there could be 12 teams this year with 100 or more points...be there canucks,

  13. canucks need markstrom to go down and play well in the playoffs ...to build up his trade value.

      emergency callup is different than just a callup. he can go down np

      stop trolling eddies our goalie gtfo

    4. HowYaDrouin

      HowYaDrouin

      ^ lol wtf?

      and to goalie13s post, for EMERGENCY call ups, those required to happen due to lack of players, they can stay up for 30 days or 10 games played. He's obviously cleared the 30 days part, but they only count games in which he sees action (relief or starts), and not just the games he dresses for. Therefor he should only be at 3 games played I believe (SJ, CBJ (relief) and AZ)

  14. did anyone notice how benning, like gillis...suffers from a very red face, during games?

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      high blood pressure?

    2. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      VAN GM syndrome?

    3. Gross-Misconduct

      Gross-Misconduct

      you have a red face

  15. i think benning will be looking for right side forwards and defensemen...we are light on right wing after kassian and jensen and the jury is still out on both of them.. virtanen prefers to play on the left side.

      vrbata kassian and jensen are fine on the right side, but yes svecky or roy

    3. desiboynux4lifee*******

      desiboynux4lifee*******

      I think Benning should wake up and start looking at a free college signing

    4. smithers joe

      how do you know he is not?....

  16. i think vey is playing quite well, so far..hammer is having a tough game.

    1. Green Building

      The Ham had a rough night for sure

  17. a loss today and cdc will go crazy with trades, firings, lynchings and all around nasty talk. go canucks.

      Trade Vey for a bag of pucks.

      Calling it now ;)

  18. do we have 54 players signed..are some exempt?..can they have more than 50 at this time of the year.?

    1. stexx

      stexx

      some have contracts that "slide" to next year. typically these are players that are too young for pro hockey but signed like mccann virtanen etc.

    2. smithers joe

      okay, thank you...

  19. toronto blogger calls janik hansen, a noted tough guy, mocking poor dion.

  21. eddie lack singing the canadian national anthem...i like it

  22. my gr. gr. grandfather, basile trottier, is bryan trottier's gr. gr. gr. grandfather...cousin, maybe?

      thanks, i don't know how that goes.

  23. poor old toronto and buffalo...both trying so hard to lose..someone is going to be dissappointed.

  24. interesting...if the rangers win their games in hand on everybody, they will have the best record in the nhl..way to go AV...

      Everyone knows what he can do in the season, but when it comes time for the cup finals, let's just say that Beyonce doesn't put a ring on it.

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      he took the rangers to the finals last year and could do it again..

    3. Nas19

      IMO the Rangers are the best team in the league and the favorite to win the Cup.
