lol  ya such a good career 328 games lol  future captain righttt  that was a massive overhype and gillis sent him packing as fast as possible wander why 

You’ve lost this argument why are you still going on about it?

right 

TN, I think it loosely means to skate away with the puck and make the other team chase you - the goal being to waste time.

@Beluga Whale

i find it weird that daniel Carcillo, has never heard of it though.

I mean I dont think it's a commonly used term. I've only ever heard it in the context of the NHL video games.

But it's definitely a real thing imo

Nylander or no deal

Markstrom+Gudbranson + 4th for Trocheck + Niemi

Wasn't there speculation that Toronto had interest in him?

Yes and no 

Kind of like Michael Jackson was?  Black to white? 

Or white, but feat Slash

Now, factoring evidence and common sense like Lil B and Cerridwen have deduced we can capably put this on the back burner as a possible load of BS.

Fair enough.

That being said, nobody has the right to sit and defame people making such allegations until such time as they're proven otherwise.  Far to many suffer without ever speaking up about being assaulted or abused.  It's disgusting.  The only thing more disgusting is the attitudes as we saw here

There is a 2 hour time difference between Chicago and LA. I'm having a bit of a problem discerning if those times quoted in the tweet are Chicago time or LA time. No matter the time zone, it still doesn't adequately explain how Patrick Kane would be in a bar bathroom at closing time when he would have been on a plane.

More info regarding the flight. The departure was in PST time and the game officially ended on 9:32 PM PST. Unless if Kane left his teammates behind (Not possible without any sort of punishment from the team.), there would've been no time for him to go to a bar what so ever.

It would be sweet if Canucks got him. If he doesn't sign with the Islanders my guy feeling is he'll go to Montreal.

Yeah he could be headlining in Vegas... for no assets lost whatsoever.

@ReggieBush An insta hoe? That's the best you got? C'mon man...

If I win the lottery I will...

This would be the type of deal that would move me into the anti-Benning camp.  But I have no worries that he would do such a deal.

Ottawa also has 0 need for centres right now.

Any UFA can be approached and spoken to, negotiated with etc. From June 25th to July 1st, teams can approach UFAs. It's called the "negotiation period". The only thing they cannot do is put pen to paper on a SPC (standard player contract).

Other than that, everything is fair game. Benning only got his hands slapped a little because he jumped the gun by about 8 hours.

@shadowgoon Ooops, you are correct. Forgot about that.

Lombardi in LA did what he did to absolve any GM out there of tampering charges pre draft in the event they let slip that they would be interested in Looch

silky the to many men penalties andgarbage  play syatems and  playing vets over youth but still losing has everything to do with coaching and not the gm  not to mention never having players ready for the game its basic coaching fundamentals that gree lacks

only reason we went 7 games with vegas was demko. the players were  outclassed do to bad coaching  benning even got toffoli for a run last yr but team  got ass handed ifnot for petey and demko

I don't think anyone can help understand that, it's pretty obvious.

ROFL

Dang, it's almost like getting your man July 1st and picking up a guy teams have sniffed around and left alone a couple weeks before training camp are different things right? Gotta love twitter. 

Bad back.  Teams stayed off him.  He might be done.  

If he has a good camp I think there's a good chance, I think he's a guy management would love to insert just to see what he can do. I don't even think he'd have to blow people away to make it. As a LD he'd be competing with Benn, Fanta, and possibly Tram, and they'd likely be willing to waive Fanta (assuming he's re-signed). I think they'll let Stech walk too for cap reasons. 

With Edler likely a few years off from retirement they're gonna need to see what they have in some of their in house guys. 

I'd love to see him play too.  Who knows maybe he'll be a pleasant surprise and play really well.  My guess is if management just kinda throws him in there he's going to struggle for a month before finding his footing.

He's shown well in the AHL, and many young D struggle, but if he shows promise I could see them letting him play through those struggles to an extent. If he makes it he'll likely be more sheltered as a 5-7 guy anyway. He's not gonna step in and take minutes from Edler, Hughes, Tanev (?), and Myers unless injuries occur. 

For sure. But still the only way I seriously consider trading Boeser is if we’re getting a legitimate top 4 RD who is 24 or younger. Just think of how awesome having Boeser-Toffoli-Podkolzin as our RW depth in 3 years would be. We’d have to move Virtanen to the LW in that scenario. 

This is vomit inducing., People still sleeping on Brock's impact. Our top six looks deadly right now I would not wan't to break it up. Plus if they would want Brock I would start with Ellis. 

Well I just bought a Boeser jersey so that wouldn't surprise me...   That's a horrid trade that not even Dim Benning is stupid enough to complete.  Dafuq?

Be patient. Don't take coaching decisions personally. Podkolzin's good, but he's still a rookie who's unfamiliar with the NHL game.  He should NOT be rushed.  IMHO, the Canucks are doing just that.

@Heretic- I might be able to buy your explanation. Are you suggesting that perhaps Green doesn’t have an issue with Podkolzin, but rather, simply wants Podkolzin to observe a few things from the press box?   I could possibly buy this strategy but is this a common practice with rookies?

More so common with non North American players.

?

The first thing he reaches for is his left arm.

Seriously, you've been influenced by the Rangers play-by-play guys.

Plus, McGrattan went in (arms down)with his shoulder on Alberts, but raised his hands after(which made it dirty). Burrows came in with his hands up ready to hit McDonagh with his arms.

If you pause a second before the Big Ern hit it will look like he was going for a clean shoulder to shoulder hit, Burrows on the other hand looks like he's going straight at McDonagh with his arms up a second before the hit.

The point is, McGrattan's hit started out clean but finished dirty, Burrows was a straight out dirty hit.

I ordered something through Ali express and listed my phone # on the order.  WORST mistake I ever made.  20+ different blocked #'s later........

They're almost all bull$&!#. I don't bother answer my phone anymore if I don't recognize the number or unless I am expecting a call. If it is so important, leave a message, otherwise it can wait

@Tortorella's Rant That’s how I work too. Unless it’s a friend or work/school calling I don’t answer. 

Please say that's why he's stepping down, to run for Mayor.

Trev always takes the high road, and this doesn't preclude him returning in the future either. Didn't his mentor Pat Quinn do the same thing?

Quinn was fired mid season by Steven Bellringer, in a pre-emptive strike to make sure Quinn didn't fire the coach and take over coaching duties to try and turn things around. 

Quinn was run out of the organization by the MacCaw ownership. 

Quinn never returned to the Canucks until he was selected in the Ring of Honour in 2014. 

@chon derryE

Eriksson wore a rock salt necklace and dusted all his equipment with baking soda.

Both neutralize the douche juice

@Pears

Might have robbed him of his mojo. 

Or maybe the fact that the first goal he scored as a Canuck was an empty netter, ON HIS OWN GOAL! FFS that was awful

In my expert opinion he's got some bad juju, not doucheitis. Doucheitis affects an inviduals ability to not act like a total a**hole.

They blame others for their mistakes and are unable to accept personal responsibility for their selfish, cowardly and narcissistic actions.

Eriksson has bad Canuck juju. They should send him to a sweatlodge. Then first thing in the morning beat him up a bit with cold cedar bows before sending him for a swim in the ocean.

Almost guaranteed to change his luck.

the problem with older guys  they want term,  given the youth and recent drafts  ,2  ,3 years  were there. stay the course.

@Pears those people are annoying but there are also people that are annoying from the other side.  Facebook is the worst place for...  well pretty much anything.  Solution is to stay away from Facebook  

@VancouverHabitant Oh don’t get me wrong I know, they just aren’t as vocal. 

No @VancouverHabitant. I’m absolutely not saying that. I’m saying that the short term complications as a result of getting the virus itself are far more frequent and far more severe than from the vaccine. The complications absolutely do exist - I know someone in my age group (low 20s) who had heart attack like symptoms post vax. 

You can buy Crazy Compostable Corn Straws as well. 

I noticed it once when I had White Spot for take out, the straw and texture when you sucked threw it felt weird, almost like when a chalk board gives you goosebumps when you scratch it with your nails, same kind of feeling when drinking these straws I find.

Who cares about a friggin’ straw.  That poor Subway bear (that could open doors, which is kind of cool) got murdered for being too smart.  We are friggin’ murdering animals, but we worry about plastic straws destroying the planet?  Our PC society needs to get their collective heads screwed on straight.  

You know what?  We (people) are #$&*&$*$.

Can we do this now?  

this scared me, I thought I was hacked. I couldn't reminder writing this and then I sae the date 

I was looking for one of the Pulujarvi for Virtanen trade threads (of which there were several( and came across this first

Trading the 5 I suggested gives us approximately $51.8 million in cap space. Then let’s say Boeser gets a bridge contract ($6Mx3), Edler takes a hometown discount ($4Mx3), Leivo gets $2M x 2 and Motte gets $1.5 for 2 years. That’ll bring us down to $38 million to play with in free agency. 

petersson in 2 yrs will cut 12-13 mill into cap but he will be a cup champ by then with hart and richard trophies on mantle 

@canuktravella- It will be interesting to see if Petey has a sophomore slump like Boeser has (although his points may not look it) as it could help to keep him around 10 when we sign him.

Lol....cap space.

@J-23 Caused him to delete his account yikes

He really getting trolled hard right now, responded to like 8 tweets saying he didn’t say that lol.

@Nuxfanabroad you mean a Motte point?

None of the above.

Wouldn't call Pettersson a dark horse.

I guess Dahlen

juolevi

If we'd taken M. Tkachuk over Juolevi in 2016, how would our organization be right now? We'd have more goals, and more grit (and more suspensions) but our D pipeline in likely top 4 D would be empty. 

Our 2011 team almost won the cup without a true number 1 D but 4 bonafide top 4 D (Erhroff, Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa). Even if Juolevi never projects to be a number 1 or 2, having top 4 D is important. 

We have potential top 6 wingers coming in Dahlen, Lind, and Gadjovich, in addition to Boeser, Baertschi, and free agency. 

I'd rather have Juolevi in the pipeline than M. Tkachuk on the roster. 

(I'd rather have Sergachev or McAvoy instead of Juolevi but that's hindsight and a different matter entirely)

@Where's Wellwood 

I don't think bear cheese will be on this team in the long run. Gadj is prob a 3rd liner. Lind is meh but we'll see. Dahlen hopefully is top 6; im excited for him. 

Boeser is the flow. 

We all talk in absolutes. Ohh bpa, blah x3...

Yet Boston had THREE 1st's in 2015, & missed Boeser AND Barzal ! But hey..is it killing them?

There are so many ways good teams get assembled. Drafting, development, patience & good ol' DUMB luck all seem to play their part.

Pecan Pie(Golden Smog) is a fine lil' ditty

A $7.8 million cap hit we don't need. And he wouldn't play here anyways.
