Gotta give some love to Benn. He's playing like Tanev letting Hughes do his thing. 

Hughes plays hyper offensive, so he needs a guy who will just "be steady" and can cover when an inevitable pinch goes bad. A "think no offense" stay home kinda guy. Benn seems to be very comfortable with that role, and it suits his ability and size very well as well. If the shoe fits, as they say. Tanev was obviously amazing at that role, but, times change and players move on.

 

Solid stay-home guys aren't as easy to find as they once were either.

Good english, bud. 

I just want to personally thank you. without that comment, that user would never know they made a mistake at spelling.

 

does CDC pay you, or is this charity?

I lost a young friend over the holidays. Was talking to him, he's got work, friends, bright future, then he was gone. Something inside him said it was time to go.

Thanks Bell for the campaign.

CONDENSED GAME | Ottawa at Vancouver 

Probably not intentional but an apt tribute on Let's Talk Night.

Nothing more is needed. 
If he can do that, he’s got the job.

Did Jordie just need a good rest and training in the offseason? He looks like a totally different defenceman than from last year. 

It's great to see. Maybe he just needed Huggybear as a defensive partner.

I'd rather have false hope than a gloom and doom projection.

Could just be neutral minded like me but it really isn't an outspoken or exciting perspective. More of a go with the flow sort of ideal. Glass half-full and half-empty.

 

IMO we should see how we play vs better teams. It's a good sign we beat the Sens this series since it proves we're at least better than them. If we manage to have better showings vs the Habs/Leafs then we just had a confidence issue, if not then we'll have to re-evaluate.

He's been a better partner for Quinn than Hamonic. I'd like to see him stick even if TH healthy.

I'd like to see a bigger sample size. The sens would make hutton look like a Norris candidate 

[Darth Canuck]

Boy do I like Hoglander. The hustle, skill, no fear, he crunched someone late in the third, battled Grubranson in the corner. We got ourselves a good wrecking ball!

 

Benn has been steady, did well on the 5-3. Its like a found defenceman.

 

Zack stays in the lineup, he ads to the team.

 

I think both Chatfield and OJ are playing well, who plays depends on the opponent. Chat, more grit and edge, OJ, more finesse.

 

I think as a team, everyone isn’t gripping the sticks so hard now.  
 

Go Canucks!!

He is playing for a contract next year.

Some guys thrive with a well defined role. Playing with Huggy is no mystery what your role as partner should be.

I'm so sorry to hear that....it really hits hard when it's a situation like that.  I mean, for anyone but especially so when it's someone young with their whole life in front of them.  Hopefully the conversations and seeing athletes speaking out will help reduce the number of tragic, senseless deaths.  Sad that your friend didn't get to that point.

Kind of how I look at it to be honest, although I do think the victories are worth celebrating still. Momentum's huge. Sports is a mental game and games like these help.
