I don’t blame future shoe in for the HHOF Joe Thornton for poking Mrazek in the yap. That was great. Thornton is hilarious :lol:

Exactly. They dont belong there either.

It should be reserved for the best of the best. Not the pretty good

Then they should kick out 50 % of the players starting with Clark Gillies, Mark Recchi and Dave Andreychuck

If you could, it’s not really PTSD... :roll:

That being said, Franzén’s problems mainly stem from the repeated concussions, but having a coach that was bullying him for not playing as good when injured as he did when healthy probably didn’t help much.
That sounds a lot like Keenan's handling of both Linden and Gelinas when he was our head honcho. Drove both out for not playing 100% when coming back from injuries.
I still can’t believe the bounty Iron Mike extracted from Mike Milbury for the overrated Trevor Linden. Best trade in franchise history.

Much like what Milbury did to a fan back in the day, Iron Mike ripped Milbury’s shoe off his earthpad and beat him senseless.
I don't disagree, but Keenan was as much of a dick as any GM or coach we have ever had.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Would suck to win it that way - much like how Barzal took it home once Boeser went down.

And it was a hit from Marchand to boot -

Barzal was, in his own right, a worthy winner. Had Brock not been hurt it would have made it a lot more interesting and for sure. It would have been close, who knows but Barzal was deserving.

Same thing this year. Hughes is appearing worthy in his own right.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

NHL Player Safety
Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk has been fined $2,486.56, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Cross-checking Philadelphia’s Scott Laughton.

Tkachuk got 2min for cross-checking and 2 min for roughing with less than 30 seconds to go.
Scott Laughton/ Brady Tkachuk beef concludes with Laughton chirping Tkachuk after scoring GWG and then Tkachuk jumping Laughton late in the game

Unfortunate for Makar but I think a fluke. This could happen to anyone any game.

Just read an odd report about Hoffman chasing Erik Karlsson around the ice trying to fight him last night. Neither have ever had a fight in their careers.

What the hell. This story just keeps getting stranger

Most would agree - but I'd also rather Quinn beat Cale based on both having brilliant seasons, otherwise it will be labelled as "he won because Makar got hurt"
