  1. They do have a couple of top draft picks, but Point, Kucherov, Palat, Cirelli and Gourde were not first-round draft picks. They got good for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that they made every draft selection count. On the flip side, our only late bloomer is Adam Gaudette. You can't just rely on first round picks and trades to get good.
  2. The Tampa Bay Lightning are without a doubt the best franchise in the NHL today. They are loaded with talent and scoring ability. They overcame major adversity after getting swept by Columbus. It's hard not to root for them and be happy that they won. There are literally no holes in their team. Kucherov, Point, Cirelli, Palat, Gourde, Johnson, Killorn... they were all overlooked and rejected by other teams. I firmly believe that those guys wouldn't be where they are without the entire system that Tampa has put in place. The one pick that didn't fit in was Jonathan Drouin, which they flipped for Mikhail Sergachev. Veteran free agents signed for cheap because they knew this team was a winner. Their main formula was to score a lot of goals. When that didn't work and things went south last year, they made those adjustments. The Canucks have not had a winning recipe for a while and our track record shows. Have to take things one step at a time, which for Benning is to NOT make any more stupid UFA signings.
  3. Take the time you would've spent watching mindless hockey and pay attention to what's happening in the world.
  4. What's that United front line looking like? Martial, Rashford, Bruno... I think Jadon will play ahead of guys like Mata, Lingard and Greenwood.
  5. I think the COVID in the MLB has nothing to do with their fitness...
  6. Which is why he got a penalty. But a spear is one of the dirtiest plays in hockey. Ferland is super lucky he got a minor. Easily could've gotten 4 or a five minute major.
  7. You don't get suspended for holding a stick. You can't spear someone, especially if he's off the ice.
  8. Suzuki has a noodle arm. I run like a snail and can probably steal a bag on him. Everything Montoyo did has started to infuriate me and a lot of fans. Putting Shun in again to get torched. Not taking advantage of free bases. And this... Look at his stupid face while the ump goes right at the dugout. Sometimes you need to back up your team and take the damned ejection. He just stood there all confused and just ate it all up.
  9. You maniacs still play with the play-by-play on? The game has been out for 8 months!! How have you not shot yourselves? Just mute the damn thing and play Spotify in the background. People will start to see you smile again in public.
  10. Hey man you raise a compelling point. But you didnt upload the infraction or the reffing mistake. You made it sound like an egregious error that cost us the cup. And now even fellow Canuck fans are calling you for sour grapes, even though they have no idea what you're complaining about. But if everything played out as you described (upload the damn clip), then it is an absolute reffing foul. It can't be chalked up as refs being human (like a missed call). This is a rulebook issue and if the rules are forgotten, it's a real problem. Imagine if someone today scores a shootout goal using the illegal spin-o-rama and the refs let it stand.
  11. He has a full year left on his contract. I'm not sure if he has proven himself to have the trade value of a true starter.
  12. If we re-sign Markstrom the term will last for the rest of his prime. And it would have implications for Thatcher Demko's future with the team. Luongo-Schneider all over again...?
  13. BOESER SCORES BOESER SCORES PETTERSSON THERE'S THAT SHAHT Or the EA James Cybulski classic: THE ALIEN FROM OUTER SPACE!
  14. Anyone here following the owners-players drama? The MLB is different than other American sports leagues because so much of their revenue comes from ticket sales. But as it stands I see a players' strike coming. I wonder if this will effect negotiations in other leagues as well .
  15. I wonder if NHL player salaries will have to be readjusted for the lost revenue. I think the MLB is trying to figure that out with their players' association.
  16. You are underestimating Khabib's stand-up game. If all goes his way he will crack Justin on his feet and then take him down for a submission. This division is absolutely stacked.
  17. Watched Esparza-Waterson. How can a split decision be 27-30, 29-28, 30-27? Two different judges watching completely different fights??
  18. This is not the path. A fighter tested positive. If more fighters from this card test positive in the coming two weeks, you'll know this whole thing was a big mistake. Hopefully I'm wrong and this goes well.
  19. Personal attacks? You can't contact him on social media. He is a deplorable sexist. It's hard to discuss this debacle without most people leaving with this conclusion. He made it VERY easy for everyone to judge him. If you are being serious about this... it just feels like a very weird hill for you to die on.
  20. Star players don't pay for anything in any sport. McDavid has value to the entire NHL and to the global sport of hockey. Think of what happened to Tiger Woods. He is totally okay.
