Things like a practice facility, for example...

Button does bring up a salient point WRT management, players and the Myers situation. Players both in Vancouver and outside may be looking at the state of the organization and not want to play there regardless where they're from. I don't think Vancouver suffers from the harsh geographical realities ...

I mean, we're getting what we asked for...

...but God that's painful to see - almost as painful as it was to watch them last night.

Loathe as I am to add mercenary Russians, and he rubs me as a bit of a primadonna, but a Mitchkov for Petey trade wouldn't be the worst move management made - though they would never make it because Mitchkov isn't a centre. Maybe management can move him, then, for a better-fitting piece. At least ...

They need to surround youth with some push back/Luke Schenn types. Way too much Charminy softness Watching the likes of Bichsell out there throwing Rossi around in a scrum last night was cringe-inducing. Especially-so when the guy management picked a couple spots earlier has yet to bust half a ...

I’d love to read (or write) an all-access book on the Nucks. What is really going on? Petterson is sour and hostile to the media. Do you suppose he’s different to his teammates? I’ve never heard of a star player getting married and inviting not a single teammate Ya it would be gossipy nice to know t ...

I can't see Foote surviving this disaster. If they have a lot of younger guys next year I think a coach like Manny might be better suited. More like they keep Foote through the tank while they groom Malhotra to take the reins when the team is competitive again. Might be a while, though... :( I don ...

Hockey Gods are a fickle lot.

Is it me, or does Petey’s effort seem more performative than real? Does a couple of dekes straight into the guy’s midsection and promptly gets clobbered - skate back to the bench like, “See?!? I’m working harder aren’t I???” All about the perception of effort - scoring is optional as long as you’re l ...

Kaner pumping his trade value!

Anybody seeing more ‘zip’ in Petey’s game yet?

Especially when they’re crusty, cranky long-suffering miserable fucks like us!!

Not confident in Willander & Buium as a pair AP? Verhoeff Buium could be stellar!! Good post on draft strategy theroems.....maybe those fucking guys will read it Willander and Buium look like they can grow into a cracker 2nd pair. Neither have shown to-date that they are top-pair defenders ...

Ask Bitch Marner how fun it was to play in his hometown. That said, management should be prioritizing Western Canadian players. It’s no guaranteed thing, but you’re more likely to get players who will play for more than a contract or a personal legacy, unlike those from other countries who get dec ...

He can retire empty handed.
