Who would have predicted the Kraken to be this bad in their inaugural season?
To think the bookies had the Kraken being above the Canucks in standings and in the playoffs…

They went young and stole one of our B level prospects in Lind (i am still sad about it) instead of some defence, goaltending etc.
They also had the option of getting Carey Price from MTL but chose not to. A lot of questionable picks but I did like the Yanni Gourde and McCann pick ups. Smart picks for great players.
I think they realized that it was slim pickings out there and didn't get offers for draft considerations like Vegas did. Instead they are like any other expansion draft before them and they are going through the pains of being the newest franchise. At least they'll have drafts and the fact they are a low tax state so FA will be attracted to there.

If Covid cases increase should the season be canceled? Or delayed?
This unfair that the NHL is willing to allow games to continue with players going down.

@Coconuts The only special treatment we get are negative ones

Fire Bruce!
kidding but I am thinking playoffs are long gone now..

So I understand getting rid of the Loui meme emoji because he is no longer on the team, but why get rid of the paper bag “rough game” emoji?
How else can we show displeasure in someones post?

@Devron same here, I interpreted it as a joke from the mods, we have some here that are quite cheeky I think.

@6of1_halfdozenofother this, but also you can see a few users only posting memes/funny pictures/funny one-liners for the sake of fishing for upvotes and having a high reputation score, while adding nothing to the discussion.
I just liked the previous version better, when there was a single upvote button and a single downvote and that's it. Or perhaps go back to a single upvote button and nothing else. CDC just looked cleaner and slicker that way for me anyways, I don't like these 6 or 7 different emojis for basically the same thing.

Anyone else frustrated with bad BC drivers in winter? I just witnessed two near accidents in a span of 1 min….
There should be mandatory training for how to do drive in winter..

Christmas lights and decorations past January 1st yes or no?

Ryan Kesler for Hall of Fame?
For those who don’t know classic thread…

Thank you @Iron Fist for having a great sense of humour…

Playoffs?
On a side note the Canuck are -9 out of the playoffs by 5 points, but the redwings are -19 in 8th place… Just shows how weak the eastern playoff race is compared to the west.

Loser leafs top team in the league say it ain't so…
Lawl at Lames and Coilers free fall.-
Leafs have been a very good team for years now but I still stand by my original diagnosis of them when they signed Tavares: They are the 2010-2015 Penguins. They will always be a good team, and probably will make it out of the 1st round at some point, but they'll always be a bridesmaid. Why? Because - they have too much cap allocated towards their top players and are a top heavy team as a result. They won't have the necessary goaltending and defensive depth come playoff time.

Is it me or has pods been underwhelming in his first season point wise?
I mean I wasn’t expecting elite lvl numbers from the get go, but 7 points in 27 games is very low imo.
How long is his leash development wise? Should he be sent down?
Too many what ifs…

As long as Rutherford doesn’t trade the core I think everything will be alright…
So much for Smyl for being interim GM.

So one could argue now that the dust has settled that Gillis was a better GM than Benning?
I always knew it was the case.

Just appreciate what both GMs have done. Gillis freaking took us to the finals and 1 game away from the cup! (Those people unfairly bashing Gillis is just ungrateful XXXs.) Oh, and also an era of contendership where we were a powerhouse in the league. Benning left us with Pettersson/Hughes/Boeser/Demko/Hoglander/Podkolzin/Miller. Gillis gets the nod from me for sure.
-
Doug Wilson GM of the Sharks since 2003 and Polie GM of the Predators since 1997 are currently the longest serving GMs.
And Canucks fans wanted Benning gone…

What are the odds Pods pulls a Tryamkin and jumps ship?
One thing I noticed is most Russian players like to win and jump ship once things go sour..

None? Podkolzin was benched a lot in the KHL. Tryamkin is just a weird case. A guy who thinks he should be playing top 4 minutes after 1 season with the club. Nor is he some super #1, 2 or 3 Dman in the NHL. I think he is just an average player who is really tall... And some comfort secret card for Canucks fans who thinks that we are close to being a contender in the offseason and pull out the we can bring back Tryamkin card.

@RubikI'm pretty sure you're correct. I think I've lost about maybe 3000-5000 of my old archived posts and many users from older times have had similar things. I'm quite certain Vintage lost large amounts of posts at one point as well. Seems like we haven't had any "purges" of older content in a good number of years though, so it mostly only affected older users. I'd guess the last one was in 2015 or something like that, but I'm not certain.

Jarkko Ruutu now that is name you never hear on these forums…
What ever happened to him?
-
Is it me or does it seem like there are a lot more high caliber players for the Kraken to pick this expansion draft? How does it compare with the Vegas expansion draft?
-
Imagine if Tom Wilson did this...

Steve Moore didn't deserve to get paralyzed, but Bertuzzi didn't deserve to get burned for that. That elbow by Steve Moore was no doubt intentional. Cheap shot artist that got paid for the aftermath, which wasn't entirely Bertuzzi's fault. Everyone piled on top of each other - and Moore paid the price. So did Bertuzzi. No one came out of that a winner.

Could Höglander surpass Pettersson and become the next GOAT?
