He seems like he’s HockeyBuzz 2.0 — calling a few things right but also has a lot of stuff wrong. Seems like pure speculation on his end right now with every tweet hahaha.

He's a hell of a lot funnier than that chucklehead Eklund.

I worry a potential 1st round or 2nd round match up against the Oilers now. At the start of the season, I wasn't worried at all about the Oilers as they were literally a 2 player team. Now, with the emergence of Yamamoto, acquisition of AA and RNH having a solid year, they now have 2 solid lines for their top 6. It will be a tough match up for the Canucks if we meet them in the playoffs.

Any matchup in the playoffs is going to be tough.

They still have garbage defence and goaltending.

 

I'm confident Canucks could take them in a series... would have to play that top line pretty tight though, they have a lot of offensive threats

the players on the team just might be part of the reason for that though, right?

All of the players.

This is definitely a team thing. Athanasiou is a good player and hasn't been this bad before, he's just the sucker that plays all the time on this horrid team.

Because Edmonton is so much better?

The comment was obviously about playing for Torts. Him going to Edmonton, as an RFA, gives him the opportunity to up his value in negotiations. High likelihood of increasing his point totals there than under Torts.
