To clarify, that's 10 years after next year -- so 11 years in total of our goaltender being better than yours.

shut up

canucks go back to playing fun hockey and i have to wait 6 days before the next game!


note: canucks playing fun hockey could be completely because of Alberta teams

 

[Burzum]

Are you a fan of Desjardins thus far?

 

[Phone]

too early to say. but a) scratching sesito, b) 4 forwards on the pp and c) not dumping the puck in. are easy ways to my heart

hasnt even got the best save percentage on his team

What are your feelings on the Canucks season so far?

 

[Phone]

i'll be more in depth later but:

bounce-back season I expected. percentages and what not suggested last season was an anomaly
impressed with the coach thus far
but today's decision to scratch kassian is worrying
not impressed with the GM yet. particularly given two of the more successful additions (Vey, who probably should be scratched for Kassian, and Dorrset) were seemingly at the urging of the coach, and overpaid probably anyway. miller was a terrible signing then and is now. the kesler return was disappointing then and the pieces are...not disappointing me now because i didn't expect much from them.
i don't know much about the draft but right now a couple of guys picked just behind pick 6 and 24 are impressing more than than the guys we picked at 6 and 24
im worried that they're focused on making the play-offs this season, at the risk of harming the team long term (theres talk they offered Kassian to Boston)

So for the first time since I started following ice hockey (and the wings) 21 years ago, the Red Wings will miss the playoffs

Out of all the teams, I think they have the least exciting prospects as well. So it's probably for the best.

Really more your 4th line centre who is "really good" at faceoffs

(faceoffs are meaningless)

Say what now?

 

[Burzum]

Went to Frölunda vs. Växjo tonight in Gothenburg. Was a great experience for my first live ice hockey match, and it was also great to see Rasmus Dahlin before he heads to the NHL.

 

[Runk]

PFT not even 'real' hockey.

 

[DERO]

YES Runk, Yes!

 

[Phone]

i'd argue that when the canucks pick him, Rasmus Dahlin is not in the nhl

 

[Burzum]

Ovi finally did it.

 

[Maddogm]

Ovi finally did it.

And an Aussie just lifted the Cup

Well done Storm

 

[Phone]

after like 8 years of evil champions this is nice

 

[Burzum]

Two of those years were good and pure.

 

[Burzum]

Everyone laugh at Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
