Yes indeed. Let's hope Edler can do the same for some eastern outfit, next season!

Thanks Hansen, and you're more than welcome back when you become a UFA.

Sharks have to win to be best for us. Not liking that since I hate the beards

Yah - and just heard that conditional pick for Hansen will be a 1st rounder not a 4th - if the Sharks win the Cup...that makes it very nice indeed. Canucks Nation has to cheer for the Sharks in 2017 now. 

But the 1st round pick in 2017 would be late in a rather weak draft year,...so is it really a home run? No - not really. I will still miss the Honey Badger like crazy & I think the Canucks will really miss his particular brand of mentorship, too.

Or you can have The Kinks version!

He looks so much like Christian Bale..

So maybe first goal: Louie Louie; second goal: Batman theme

Compromise.

Waiting to see what DJ does tonight. That's if - I dont lose the back deck & part of my roof along with power tonight. Feeling a guilty about not doing those renos in the off-season, now. 

Completely forgot the group stage started before the opening ceremony. 

It was pretty ugly, but they got the job done.

I'll hold onto my investment in these HOF Sedins & their very generous philanthropic ways to better the conditions of children & their families everywhere...over the oafish behaviors Looch demonstrates on and off of the ice - anyday! Somedays good guys finish 1st. Those victories are the best!! You can have an edge without being an idiot. Gudbranson seems to be that! Looch has simply been entitled for too long to change. Better find himself another league-enabled team to continue his schtick before the progressives take over, post-Bettman, & eradicate his kind altogether.

I think you are going to be disappointed, viking mama.
I agree with your sentiment. But I have been bracing myself ever since talks broke down between Lucic and Kings.

^ Looch a Canuck?! It's akin to Messier as a Canuck! Never, ever, should have happened!!! On so many different levels it was a colossal affront to the team, the layers and their entire fan-base. I have embraced former rivals before. Dave "Tiger" Williams, Tim Hunter, Esa Tikkanen,...but some players have history that runs too deep & character too warped to embrace. Messier & Lucic are in that category for me. I would expect Trev to perceive this fact, even if Jimbo can't.

ANA is being gifted.

Just had to watch Kassian's HNIC debut with is 'newest' team since his return. And it"s OT....ugh!

Kassian has played 15 mins in both games. 4 shots and 6 hits. Even just looking at him he seems like he is doing a lot better

EDM beats CGY...but I should have asked the Stars to win over the Sharks instead.Sigh.

Lu realized later why Dorsett went at the Panthers and he wasn't happy about it.

Well now I want to read this stuff. Where'd this info come from?

Dosrset went after the Panthers who were squirting their water bottles at the Sedins. How & where did he respond to that later?. He did not respond that way to the media post-game. He definitely should correct himself publicly there too. That'd earn him better points.

He's got Mick Jagger's hair.  Think about that one for a minute.

bahahahahaha man stop, Nick Kyperos is your source! come on man!

Not my source...that would be Miller. Do ya trust his evaluation after seeing replays? Just sayin' - that even an anti-Canuck like Kypper has relented on air to say,..in Hansen's case,..it was a goal. The others on the panel were ambivalent. How does the war-room get it wrong. Seeded bias. Asking that they - fix that

I thought it was a 50/50 but the clowns on CBC did a great job saying it was a kicking motion (craig simpson at it again) I personally thought it could of been a redirection or a kicking motion.

Sounds like a rough start. Cannata under seige early.

This is not the same team as last year..they will lose their fair share...lots of rookies and missing heart..DeFazio and Archie.

Green likely misses all the losses to his D-corps too. No Sanguinetti, no Corrado or Clendening. It looks like Biega, Fedun & Pedan are his main-stays now.

You're really trying to push this Cracknell is Santo 2.0 thing it seems. I swear this is the 4th time I've seen you try to crowbar this comparison in.

Either others have said somethin' similar somewhere, or you're re-reading my posts multiple times.

If this is a course correction by Stephen Walkom to fix the aberrations that have occurred in some of these So-Cal buildings over the past few years - I applaud it!

It's not though, it's random, or the conspiracy refs had previous engagements.

I'm not whining about this year's game-day referees at all, I'm praising them. Just pointing-out what some people should be noticing. I know it's not the play-offs or anything, but perhaps the stats & video-tapes have been noticed, evaluated & some IIHF-type action has occurred. Eyes wide-open, people...that's all I'm asking.

^ not bad actually

Try Jarritos Guava soda

Jarritos guava..gracias! Tried it! Perfecto!

Games are at the Prospera centre all day long!

jealous

you mean us? kidding

How about Bo??

actually a few more should go.

No. This needs to happen. It is time for a transition. Maon thing now is that Benning not hand out any more undeserved contracts like Sbisa's or Miller's.

You're fracked in the head.

The stats don't lie. Explain it. Stephen Walkom sure should. He needs to be shippin' some of the NHLOA's worst butt-kissers out of this division. If not, these stats are more by design than a fluke and I'm speakin' on behalf of every team that's been screwed by those assignments. Shake-it-up just a little & let's see what happens. I'm bettin' the status quo won't change, tho - it's workin' too well for the kingpins in charge.

When the senior refs bid for their hubs and get familiar and chummy with the homeboys,..a natural bias can occur. There is change elsewhere but in the pre-retirement hub-of-choice in So-Cal. There's few men who can fix this. The NHL's Head of Officiating could. Bettman could - if this bias begins to affect the integrity of the game, which in my opinion - it has. The stats, at the very least, suggest it and the on-ice evidence these 3 yrs matches that.
