Been thinking about Abby's championship and what it means to the big club. What does it mean? Good post. What I think it means is that the Canucks had a team of AHL veterans, not exciting but undeveloped NHL prospects (in addition to your comments about Silovs and Malhotra). These guys who are a ...

Peterka wants out...this is why his name is out there Everybody wants out of Buffalo. He’s a good player. His stats over the last two seasons have been impressive. We need offence up front in a bad way. Only 23 years old and has good size, not a Smurf like Tanti and Skriko and has a nose for goals, ...

Got to hold onto three goalies until a trade is made involving one, so only one spare forward and one defensemen will be up with the team. Lots of competition to be first call up - Sasson, Blais, Bains and dark horses Kravtsov and Klimovich at forward. Same with D with Kudryavtsev, Willander ...

Florida's farm team in Charlotte plays the same swarming style as the Panthers do, and it's a real sumbitch to play against. However, Abby is gradually figuring it out more and more as they progress. Last night was the best yet, and hopefully they can even take another step on Saturday. I don't ...

More evidence of poor planning from management (via Twitter) ‘The Canucks are already beginning to consider pivot options and work out contingency plans with the way the market is shaping up. Though trades could still provide the sorts of upgrades required, they're also prepared to make peace with t ...

Tampa rumoured to be hot on the heels for Peterka and are dangling top prospect Isaac Howard. Chef would love the German Peterka in a Canuck Uni, he’s a beast - 6’-0” 190 lbs. Yes a winger but our top 6 needs help in all 6 slots. Offer up the 2025 1st and Hronek and Hoglander. Getterdun Not the impr ...

Nurse is overpaid by 2 million. Unlike a slug like Lois Eriksson who was overpaid by 5 million. Flip the goalies around between Florida and Edmonton. What are the results? 97 can only get that 8th year from Edmonton at this point. Its about money to a point. He also hand picked the president, the ...

I think it’s a fair assessment on the pros and cons of a practice rink location in a city that is utterly frustrating to move around in, I know you only come downstream between dusk and dawn, Doyle but it’s a gong show. There’s locations to build a practice arena. Problem is, the Aqualini’s are chea ...

Just watched Carney at the G7. He sings a horrible version of "Happy birthday, Mr President", and Trump just dumps on Trudeau's legacy. I just watched Trump (the Alpha in your world.... thanks for the laugh) keep trying to clamp other leader's hands at the G7. He really is a specimen..... compared ...

Wow, if you haven't seen it - check out the video of the Delta Centre reno going on for the Mammoth: Youtube video of reno Nice to have an owner who cares about the fans, and their experience. And has money. Instead of unlimited supply of blueberries... Guess the question is should the public be ...

Klim’s positives are he skates really well for his size, straight ahead much better than Karlsson or Bains, he has very good size with a mean streak, and a good shot having lead the regular season roster in goals with on and off playing time. His negatives are he can’t pass the puck very well. He do ...

Overall as it stands today I think that they are a better team than they were entering training camp last season... Due to the lack of drama in the room? Not sure I'm 100% in agreement here, but interesting take. Centre depth is certainly worse, defense better and perhaps a healthier Demko. I see ...

I think my point being - is you hope he can rebound, and you can make hay during the Quinn years. If he doesn't, Van is cooked. If you trade him. Van is cooked. The return will be some middling assets that just won't move the needle enough to compete. The difference between assets if you trade him ...

Chef keeps coming back to Cole Reschny as the cat we should draft. Not tall but stocky. Hockey IQ is off the charts. We learned our lesson with numbskulls like Virtanen and Juolevi. Don't include Juolevi in the same class as Virtanen because they had very different reasons for being draft busts ...
