Trying to think of any other players that fell off so quickly without it being injury related. I'm guessing people with a better memory (most of you) could name a couple of examples? It happens in other sports. Look up Steve Blass. Pitcher who won 19 games in 1972. Next year, he could not throw a ...

With all what Willander is witnessing unfolding before his eyes the troubled organization whom drafted he, the ringer his fellow Swede Petey is being rung through, one has got to wonder of Willanders desire to pony up here at seasons end. Do we see him holding out a season to test free agency? The ...

The Hughes bros are close, trust the Chef’s recipes - the bro’s really like the idea of all playing together, the parents do as well. It’s going to be tough to distract Quinn from the idea of signing with Jersey after just two more seasons here. A lot of work needs to be done here. It’s looming like ...

To me, the only thing that matters is the playoffs...we want a Stanley Cup. The Canucks need guys who can fight through the playoff grind and still deliver. It's tough and not everyone can do it. Can Petey? I'm not sure. Last year he was outmatched (1 goal, 13 games). I cannot understand why the ...

We won! The ship has been righted!

Let's sign Green to an extension and Benning too!

Not.

Yes. Same with Benning (he should have been gone a long time ago). How Acquilini can stick with Benning this long is just beyond me. "Jim has a plan" supposedly. What a friggin mess... A handful of bounces their way over these 9 games and theyre rocking a 6-3 record and nobody is criticizing ...

There was an article floating around talking about Quinn being the best dman in the Canadian conference, what a bunch of the dummies in media don’t realize yet is we got the second best dman as well in Nate schmidt. He’s gonna be a massive eye opener for people in Vancouver, and Canadian media in ge ...

Anything with the constipated whale is a disappointment. These are meh. Not terrible but not worth spending money on. If they had some balls, they would have done the 80s giant Vs for reverse retro in blue, green and black. Best jersey in the last year is still the stick and rink, closely followed ...

No this is old news. With the lack of revenue the new CBA agreement has a 20% escrow this season (down to 6% in later years). On top of that there is a 10% additional hold back this season that the players could get back in later years if the revenue improves enough, but it probably won’t so p ...

It looks like with the condo market being not so good and everything Mr Aquilini has squashed buyouts this season so Cool Hand Jim wasn't able to clear the space he needed to carry out this off season's plan. Yeahn, buyouts are no good because the cap-hits would carry over to the next season(s ...

Good pickup by Benning. Wish Schmidt was 27 instead of 29 considering his contract and age of the core, but the acquisition cost is pretty sweet. Like UWS pointed out, I don't think Benning wanted to be hemmed-in by term and NMCs - which is what Markstrom and Tanev wanted in the end. With that, and ...

First impression....Great signing!
Demko is the future and Holtby here to help with the transition.
Good god what a relief...a smart contract.

What's going on with OEL? Haven't read/ heard anything since the morning. And HW is staying mum on it. Either she doesn’t know or she knows to stay quiet about details until after the fact.....in which case it’s very very close. Yeah, the 'tweet' said this: "The teams are believed to be grinding ove ...

Keep in mind Virtanen and Louis out is 9 million for the next two years. Virtanen will be hard enough to trade..... think Kassian. Louis is a nightmare. You are going to have to attach Demko or Ratbones/Gaudette + a 2nd to move that lazy cunt. Virtanen has size, speed and 18 goals this year. There ...
