Jim Benning is about to do some serious damage to the future to save his job. Book it.

On radio they're talking about how mad the players were about Markstrom, Toffoli and Tanev.

Time for them to gtf over it if true.

Nice effort, there will always be that Winnipeg game to take a positive out of this road trip.

I can't recall more boring canucks hockey in the last 35 years.  

Did you watch the Willie D era?

[Junkyard Dog]

I don't understand why OJ wasn't used on the PK. I get that they only had 2 PPs but Edler doesn't need to be out there almost the entire 2 PKs 3:35 PK time that game.

 

It's not that Edler's bad but that we shouldn't rely on him as much when OJ's proven capable. Remember OJ had 8:46 of PK time that one game vs MTL when Edler got hurt early and he was never once scored on during that. MTL went 1/9 that game.

 

We want to maintain longevity with such a condensed schedule.

He was here for the physical tools, never for his brain. Low-IQ player. 

ya but he plays like he's 120lbs and 4 ft 8 inches tall.   waste of space.

Do they have audio of the players speaking about it? 

May be able to just tell by body language

It really sucks when your buddies move on, but they need to grow up if that’s what’s got them down. It happens to every team. It happens in any occupation!

Brandt Clarke would be a nice add to our group - high upside right shot defenseman.

Converted forward.  Will he be able to handle the defensive responsibilities at the NHL level?

[c00kies]

No big plays again. Could have used a big holtby save on either of their goals, or a nice rush and score by one of our skilled forwards, but fired another blank

[khay]

I liked OJ's game.

 

Yes, he has a bit of trouble with turning and foot speed; I don't remember him being slow in junior but maybe all those injuries he suffered in the past have slowed him down.

 

But he is a smart player and has good offensive instincts. I think he will develop into a top 4. Keep on playing him Green!

Oh, I didn't know that. Going to have to look into it a little more.

 

 

Fire up the draft thread !

Exactly. If they were that close Marky, Tanev, and Tofu could have signed for league minimum.

[b3.]

In other news, Torts benched Laine for 30 mins straight lol.

I'm not sure I agree with Cheech on that one - that was pretty high to be Beagle's responsibility...iirc both Roussel and Virtanen were closer to Matthews...?

not sure what the system was there either - if they were in man, then perhaps Beagle lost Matthews, if it was a zone....

would like to see it again.

Baffling to me too

Perhaps the switch might give the players the sense that a change has been made...

The problem is that the switch would give the players the idea that management wants them to lose.
