Green Goblin

@luckylager I'm not taking it well at all.  I can't believe Jimbo would do this! I cried in the bathroom at work today. Hopefully he doesn't get claimed, tears it up in Utica, then is called right back up. 

Bo must be really disappointed right now...

Those Benning haters will forever be known as the 10%.

^ Fun fact: J.J. Daigneault was a 10th overall pick.

Leafs fans are in denial lol.

You're argument was regarding what it takes to be a "bonafide NHL defenseman", not a Norris trophy one. Around half of all NHL defensemen playing regular minutes are small in stature. Yet they all play big minutes in the game. You're argument was that you have to be a specific size to be a bonafide NHL defenseman. Now you're changing your case for a Norris trophy winner, a trophy that can only be won by 1 defenseman out of the 100+ NHL defenseman playing the game. The game has been trending to the speed and skill for years. Just look a Gudbranson, he's getting more irrelevant by the year due to his lack of speed. Even Pouliot has a better stats than him defensively. This is just the +/-... Guddy (-25) Pouliot (+0)...

@DADDYROCK

I obviously exaggerated for their team. But you can't seriously be so ignorant as to disregard a player by his size and weight. We all know the NHL has been trending towards the small puck moving defenseman for years. Our very own top prospect Quinn Hughes is 5'10" 178lbs, are you going to disregard him too? 

Here's a few small NHL defensemen who average around 20 minutes a night specifically: Krug, Barrie, Spurgeon, Ellis, Gostisbehere, Butcher, Goligoski, DeAngelo, Stetcher, Girard, Greene, Vatanen, Stralman, Grzelcyk, Hunt, Russell, Mete, Wideman, Pilut, Heed, Ryan, Honka, Rhwedel, Murphy, Hanley, Hicketts, Lindholm, Weber, Hunwick, etc. etc....

Sorry @DADDYROCK I strongly disagree. Tell that every single Nashville Predator defenseman that has ever played in the league.

I'd like to. But the optics would be controversial due to the last legendary goaltender (Kirk McLean) to make a similar impact on the franchise whose number 1 wasn't retired. Their season and playoff numbers as Vancouver Canucks netminders are almost identical when considering their respective era. 

No surprise when you have Gerard Gallant coaching your squad. He also did the same thing with the Panthers. He's probably the best coach in the NHL. #coachoftheyear

^ It's actually fairly known; he hasn't played a full season with us.The dude's physical play is exactly why this is.

Gaunce will score next game.

^ Actually he was a PPG player in his last 4 seasons in junior. 

I'll probably just stay up to watch it.

@J-23 According to the schedule, Sportsnet will play it. 

I love using my CDMI cable for my TV. Cool-Definition Multimedia Interface is the best in cables for televisions. It can change the temperature of your room to the temperature of the game you're watching. Pretty cool hey?

There isn't really a service for that. Most people do it themselves by burning (converting) anything onto a CD including audio and video as long as your computer has an optical (CD) drive and was built after the year 2000.

"Bigger than that"

= Tryamkin coming back?

Oh please let this be true!

We did, his name was Torts.

@Drive-By Body Pierce Bo would probably still be our #1 centre, but Nolan will be an elite top 6 forward who can play both wing and centre. So there may be times we'll have a "Baer-Bo-No" line. And other times they will be the 1-2 punch. 

No it wasn't his 25 points that was the difference, it was his awesome defensive play. But still Boeser seems like a great pick, so I ain't complaining. But I do want NP. 

#NolanPatrick

It is unlikely. But if Toronto can do it, then anyone can do it.

What if we did nab a dud causing us to fall down the standings and subsequently winning McDavid...? Hmmm

@Alflives You're right! It was Torts. Well that makes one of my points unsustainable, but I think you still get what I've intended point out.

@Pears Well yeah I suppose that's a strong inverse point. But strategically, it would have been the smarter thing to do by playing the fresher also franchise level goaltender who didn't just get torn apart in game 6. Of course hindsight has to be taken into account. Too many 'what ifs' to dwell on it, and yet here we are.

He would still be a coach here had he played Schneider in game 7 of the 2011 SCF. He would still be coach if he didn't play Lack instead of Luongo for the Heritage Classic. But those are only a few mistakes. One of his best traits was utilizing the Sedins properly with the right linemates... (Burrows, Samuelsson, Kesler).

As much as I want to blame Willie, he doesn't have the primed Sedins or the dragon slayer Burr we had once upon a time. Or arguably the best goalie in the NHL.

But it does seem like we're grooming Green just like we did with AV so I ain't complaining. 

I say we trade our top defenseman (Tanev) for Mikael Granlund. Let's get a new generation of brothers leading this team. Sedins can mentor them despite the fact that the Granlund brothers are doing pretty well at this point in their careers compared to the Twins at the same point in their respective careers.

If you're referring to time travel, then yes.
