Wow! Pettersen is ever a sportsman. He had an opponent’s mitt in his hand & instead of throwing into the benches, he tossed it kindly back. Taking the high road, and a class act role modelling for a generation younger than himself! Hoping there are some major karma points associated with this. (Eastern media inexplicably painted the Sedins as villains In 2011. Can’t possibly do that with this kid.)

MacLean is trying to suck up to us, (Canucks Nation) lauding Burrows’ friendship & influence as a goal-scorer on Roussel. Too little, too late Ron. You were on the wrong side of history, when you decided to publicly back a crooked ref (Stefan Auger) over a sincere & quality character hockey player. We remember and the stink of your decision to bully Alex Burrows from your media pulpit still remains.

For healthy “prahhhs” like Benn - who temporarily left the bubble, perhaps. But coming back from a shoulder separation, high ankle sprain or broken bone in the foot? They will try to rush getting back & play with something most folks take half a year to 12 months to heal from properly. They might not be all that we expect, want or need them to be from the out-set.

Losing in triple OT or by a landslide its’ all the same, just one loss. New day, new game, it’s another opportunity for redemption- so go take another step forward in development. Don’t get too high, don’t get too low. Just turn the page & go Canucks GOOOOO!!!! I believe!!! And DON’T get sucked into drama,..that was the failing vs the Bruins in SCF of 2011.

Free speech is not alive & well in the NHL. Another example was Asst Capt. Daniel Sedin getting a 10 minute misconduct after taking the high road & trying to draw a penalty - while the ref watched the “Rat” Marchand give him a few pops. Sedin embarassed this official into finally making the call he didn’t want to make, instead of fighting and going off the ice with the “Rat” which was that Bruiser’s goal. The “Rat” got 2 min. but Dank got a over-kill 10-minute misconduct not for, gooning or doing anything egregiously dangerous or reckless,...but for being the truth-speaking pacifist respecting the rules of the game. Respecting the rules of the game,...didn’t pay-off in that situation - either. Refs shouldn’t decide outcomes of games..,,yet they do. Auger-gate was another clear example. Never forget, always remember!

Yah. Experience for Demko , too? A reset? Demko played super-well vs Vegas this season. Why not? More rest for Marky? If the Knights take liberties - Marky could also be vulnerable. Not liking Green’s thought process here. Other than - never give up never surrender,...but they can surge infront of Demmer too.

It looks like Seattle gets a similar sweet heart deal. Not to mention, they get to strategically raid/hurt their division rivals in this expansion draft. I don’t know how that goes down. For instance - Marky would need an expiring contract & not ‘resign’ with them, they could steal Demko if he goes unprotected. Targeting our goalies would hurt the Canucks most.
