  1. Best of 7, this year's Buffalo Sabres (on the verge of the longest losing streak in history) vs. last year's Detroit Red Wings (worst in GF/ GA/ PK, 3rd worst PP, 3rd worst points percentage): who ya got?

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Right now I take last year's Red Wings. The Sabres are unthinkably bad right now. We'll see if they improve, but they could be the worst team since the 2004-05 lockout.

  3. With a shot like that, NOW will Adam Gaudette get top-6 ice time??

    Thanks Coach Green.

      It kind of reminds me of a shot we saw from Hodgson, once.

      Adam Gaudette needs to get a harder shot. I notice in almost every game I watch, when he gets a shot on net, it's a muffin

      Yes!  It's 8 episodes long in season 1

  6. First time that the Oilers won a game in 4 years, where neither McJesus or Draisaitl recorded a point (their record was 0-26-2).  Goes to show how much depth the team accumulated over there.

  10. For people worried about Petey's slow start, take consolation in the fact that he's far from the only top-6 caliber player struggling to put up stats:

    Malkin (PIT) 6 GP, 1-1-2, -4
    Zibanejad (NYR) 5 GP, 1-1-2
    Kadri (COL) 6 GP, 1-1-2, -8
    Domi (CBJ) 6 GP, 0-2-2, -4
    Saad (COL) 6 GP, 0-1-1
    Dubois (WPG) 5 GP, 1-0-1
    R. Strome (NYR) 5 GP, 1-0-1
    M. Johansson (MIN) 6 GP, 1-0-1
    Kreider (NYR) 5 GP, 1-0-1, -3
    Lafreniere (NYR) 5 GP, 0-0-0
    Beauvillier (NYI) 5 GP, 0-1-1, -2
    DeBrusk (Bos) 5 GP, 0-1-1, -2
    Dadonov (OTT) 6 GP, 1-1-2

    Not to belabor the point, but even guys like Hoffman (STL), Johansen/ Duchene (NAS), Rakell/ Silfverberg (ANA), Fiala (MIN) are having slow starts.  It's not optimal for anyone involved but just something that these name players will have to work to rebound from.  

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Clearly Lafreniere is a bust.....

      Trade Jake for him.

      I mean with a shortened camp and all that doesn't come as a much of a surprise to me. It is probably frustrating to be playing in a slump which I can only imagine is adding to the pressure.

  12. Where would you rank tonight's loss in terms of all-time upsets?

    (After such hot starts, I wonder if they would be near the likes of the 2007 Patriots and 2015-16 Warriors.  Not necessarily that there was a defining moment like the Tyree catch or LeBron chase-down block but for such a stacked team, these losses are still surprising.)

      I think Canada just lacked the top-end, game-breaking talent to play from behind. They were a team full of moderately skilled guys who skate fast and work their asses off. It works wonders when they're even or playing ahead, but they lacked the high-end skill to break down a team that's happy to just collapse around the net and not let you get into the home plate area all night.

      I think Italy tied us once in a hockey tournament (which knocked us out of gold medal contention).  *THAT* was the bigger upset.  Team USA ain't no lightweight in terms of hockey.  Haven't been for a while now.

  13. Apparently Tarasenko was "disappointed" that O'Reilly got the captaincy instead of him... https://www.bardown.com/vladimir-tarasenko-is-disappointed-that-he-wasn-t-named-the-captain-of-the-blues-1.1569633

      thats not necessarily a bad thing, its good when a team has leaders. I doubt it will be an issue in the room, he doesn't seem like that kind of guy. 

    3. kesler_sedins

      Well Tarasenko is gonna be on LTIR, so he won't be able to captain the team

  15. Does anyone here drive for Skip or UberEats?  Been hearing rumors that they cover for gas mileage?

      Honeydew

      Whoever says they cover gas mileage is very wrong.

      You only get topped up if the person's house is quite a bit away from the restaurant you're traveling to. 

       

      If you're delivering to a place within 5km of the house/apt or drop location it's $6.50 flat for Skip. Barring from other tips. 

       

      Ubereats will cover you distance and give you a top up promotion if the district is 1. Far and 2. during busy peak hour times. But ubereats is notoriously slow on approving new drivers. (speaking from experience)

    3. drummer4now

      drummer4now

      Don't even bother try being those drivers... Poor wages and plenty of scammers. 

       

      For example, One scam is saying you never received the order. Then the driver is on the hook for the charge. 

       

       

      Thankfully she was fired probably stealed from the store too!

      There is a driver scam were they take a pic of it when the drop it off then take it.

       

      Also a private member's bill was introduced caping delivery costs at 15%

      @smithers joe it's got a nice mushroomy flavor that was pretty nice.

  19. Watching Petey highlights from these 2 seasons, feel like we have a poor man's Swedish Gretzky... that no-look pass, the Sedin-like bank to Boeser, that slap shot off the rush, even the mid-air batting of the puck... truly uncanny 

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Just be thankful for what we've got.

      Petey is Petey. I don't want him to change.

      Not only is he insanely talented. He's a quality person as well.

  21. Had a weird Canucks-related dream... 

    I dreamt that in the upcoming 82-game season, Holtby was going to go 6-35 despite an elite level 2.37 GAA, and Demko went 1-5.  So who played the remaining 35 games you might ask?  DANIEL FRICKIN' RADCLIFFE, who would go 30-5.

      I've had some wonky dreams, but none have matched the one I had a few years ago where I dreamt I was in a Tim Hortons (but it was bar themed) watching the Canucks and Rangers play in the Cup Finals. I was waiting in line and missing the game, then when I finally got to the front of the line the cashier threw up on me.

      I also had a dream where we acquired Malkin for Ballard, Raymond, and something (can't confirm it was a first). We were eliminated in February, when Malkin finally scored his first goal of the season (he was with us for the whole year, as the deal was in the off-season).

      You need to bump the dream thread in white noise :P 

  22. Happy hermiting everyone!

  23. Any virtual date experts on CDC?  Don't know if it's the lack of sensory stimuli in the same environment but it gets pretty dull just asking the same questions; what are your favorite activities to do on your virtual dates (if you've been having them)?

    Also, it's honestly ironic when BH says don't meet up even with a safe 6, but also remember to show up in your classes of 30. Diseases don't discriminate but remember school is essential...
