I will always remember that goal. Right up there with Sidney Crosby in 2010 that not only won us the gold, but also the most golds of any host nation in history. It was a special moment and so was this. Love my country and love my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a game that he wanted to win but willing to show some respect in the tap with Hank. Gosh I miss that guy. Classy, Shawn Thornton could take a lesson or two about that. Shawn Thornton is too stupid to tie his own laces.... punchbag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rather have him than Lucic for sure. But Bur back with the twins and put Eriksson with Bo and Baer. Sutters line will take the shut down minutes and we will have two scoring lines until Hansen gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because so often Vancouver as a head coaching graveyard. And illustrates how bad our team was in the 70's and 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Megna was great to-night (again) especially considering he was coming back from illness. Well done Willie. Skille looked good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Bulldog but he has to raise his game a bit more if we are going to keep this up. Does a ton of good things and then a bad turnover or missed check. We have done alright with him in the lineup so far. Stecher is not 100% and looks it but he is hanging in. Hope he gets better quickly. No one else on D can get hurt. Megna played great tonight except the puck died on his stick a couple times in third. Several great defensive plays and he rushed the puck and created chances. Probably his best game of the year. 4th line were pests as always. Special teams have to come up 10% more. Still not enough there for us to be a serious team. Watched Pittsburgh play tonight. Oy that is a PP. Look closer, the two players you are commending also had turnovers and missed checks. You will always see what you are looking for.

Put one of those two in a package with Hansen to a cup contender, take some cap back and let the offers come in. Could be be the best buy for cup teams this season. Sbisa is showing he is a keeper, Guddy is not gong to get value this year and we just traded for him. No sense in trading a second and decent prospect for a guy just to give up on the player after 20 ish games. That is idiotic. Neither will garner much on the trade market.

Can someone explain why it's always Edler or Tanev that is dangled in these discussions? Why wouldn't we trade Hutton instead (no NTC, LHD)? Do we just not believe we'd get as much value for him?

It's also with expansion in mind - the team can only protect 3 of Gudbranson, Edler, Tanev or Sbisa. Hutton is exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see Bo take that puck to the face though and that was bloody scary. It must have been - seeing it was the back of his head - you need better seats.
