EP116 needs to keep his head up while he keeps playing like a hit machine, it’s only a matter of time before he gets Wilsoned by someone and ends up on LTIR with Chytil & Demko.
Hey, if EP116 keeps living up to his contract and produces, I have no problems. That said he’s still a spoiled flake. In a perfect world I’d like to see him moved to a team like LA while he’s on his point a game pace for a package of picks and prospects.
Calgary/Vancouver big game for both team tanks. Calgary will be getting a high pick again next season.
By the time the third rolled around, Vancouver really put fear into Edmonton. They managed a whopping 88.46 CF%, 98.59 xGF%, an 11-0 scoring-chance lead, and a 7-0 high-danger-chance advantage. In the years of writing the Statsies, there may not have been a more statistically dominant period than this one. The Canucks played out of their minds at even strength and really made this a game, and that’s all anyone could’ve asked out of them after getting into such a big hole early.
They didnt quit even though the win was near impossible with Lankinen’s performance. This is what you want to see.
It was a surprisingly entertaining game. Not sure the coaches liked it lol.
I don’t give them too much credit for the Hughes trade. Anyone would have done well. I could have gotten a boatload for Hughes. JR sure screwed the team up trying to keep Hughes happy.
Same with the Miller trade. Only agrees to 1 team but wants to be traded. I would have sat his ass until he opened up on the options. What do they do, just like the Hughes trade, bends over backwards for the outgoing backstabber while limiting the Canuck’s return and success moving forward. Those clowns in management didnt seem to put the team 1st at all.
Bettman said this and is 100% right. Fuck these entitled pricks!
“I don’t think it’s good for the player, I don’t think it’s good for the club, I don’t think it’s good for fans watching and their connection to the game.”
“This notion now where, a) you can select where you want to go to and b) you can demand a trade. … That was never the original intention,” Bettman added. “If this becomes a problem — I don’t think one off-season a problem makes — but if this becomes a problem, it’s something we’re going to have to discuss with the players’ association.
“While it may be good for a player in a particular case, though based on what we’re seeing now, I’m not so sure it’s good for the player either, but we have to look at what’s good for the game, good for the players overall, good for the league, and so it’s something we’re going to keep an eye on.”

I get the feeling RJ/Sedins like to coddle their players. I think Manny might be a hardass if you piss him off.
I never liked JR as a president. I always thought he was on the back nine when Canucks got him. The only thing he did right was begrudgingly trade Hughes. Most management group ever in Vancouver
He did well on the Quit Hughes trade. JR & PA misread the Canadian market badly. I’m hoping RJ does better we’ll see.
That Bo Horst trade is looking pretty bad now
All whats left after Raty is the first flipped for Filip Hronek. The JTM deal doesn’t look good either.
Yeah same here I don’ have any expectations game to game. I have found both games entertaining even when they were getting their asses kicked. I say we draft #2 for the upcoming draft. I like Cotter and and when VHG said trade him for a second my first reaction was WTF but that is the right thing to do when you start a rebuild. Don’t get attached to a player.
Yup, Cotter will have value at the TDL if he keeps up the pace. I also heard Raty may be lose his job to Sasson? They need to stock up on picks again.
