Sure…… who is he?

Number 88 on the Swiss team. Christoph Bertschy. Former Minnesota player.

As mentioned, Fiala, Niederreiter and Josi are not bad players.

Sedlak just put the Czechs up 6 - 3. The Tre Kronor are done in this beer league tournament. Beer league? Czechs have Pastrnak, Zacha, Necas… Swiss have Hischier, Fiala, Niederreiter, Josi… Did you see the Swedish blue line? Karlsson, Hedman, Dahlin, Brodin, Markus Pettersson… Some beer league! :|

It’s 7 - 3 now Per. I just tuned in. Was the goaltending shitty for Sweden or did the Czechs just beat the wheels off of the Swedes? The goaltending wasn’t great, but I don’t blame the goalies for this. Not sure what we could have done differently. We have more possession, more shots (40-23), win t...

Wtf?! Elbow to the chin, deliberate, and nothing?!!

And on the very next play the Czechs score.

Not if we give him 8 years, front loaded.

In that case $4.5M-per might get it done.

There are ways to get rid of contracts if they become a problem down the road.

I like this line of thinking. Get it done!

And personally I believe they will find a way to re-sign Zads. I liked Zads response to who's its saying he might have priced himself out of Van. Zads basically said he loves it here, his kids love it here, and the media has no idea how much he should be paid Don’t forget, he wanted out of Calgary ...

OK, Czechs beat the USA. Other than that as predicted. So Sweden vs Czechia in the first semifinal and then Canada vs Switzerland. The Swiss actually have a pretty good team this year. As you may have noticed if you watched when Canada played them in the roundrobin. Only seven NHLers, but those incl...

... and doing some research I realize, yeah, the 2010/11 season.

Daniel Sedin won Art Ross and Ted Lindsey
Ryan Kesler won Selke
Mike Gillis won Top Manager
Luongo and Schneider shared Jennings

Has there ever been a season with so many Canucks in the running for individual awards? :? Vezina Trophy finalists: Sergei Bobrovsky, G, Florida Panthers Thatcher Demko, G, Vancouver Canucks Connor Hellebuyck, G, Winnipeg Jets James Norris Memorial Trophy finalists: Quinn Hughes, D, Vancouver Canuck...

Or all of the above? Or none of the above and he's a warrior who plays through pain and the coaches had to respect that. Yeah, lots of athletes' first instinct is to just grin and bear it and play through an injury. Especially when nothing is broken and they feel they just need to somehow ignore th...

To be fair Per, you can't discount the effect of the pandemic on the economy. Per doesn’t care about logic and real world happenings. Only what his charts and graphs show him. If you just take all the partisan stuff people say or write at face value you can often get misled. A lot of people think t...

How about looking at some key performance indicators instead of just hurling insults? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FUVi0R-XEAIbVkB.png:large How many of those were public sector jobs vs private? Trudeau’s job creation numbers are astounding, but they are primarily non-revenue generating government p...
