Anyone recall Francis Perron?
We got him for Pyatt in a trade with the Sharks. Spent 2019/20 in Utica. Don't think he ever sported the Orca. Well, possibly at camp.
Still got the skill, still got the moves. Probably not physical enough for the NHL, but doing OK, playing for Björklöven in Umeå.
On Saturday Björklöven more or less annihilated Modo (don't tell the Sedins...), beating them 8-1.
Perron scored one of the goals on a breakaway; fake shot then sneaky five hole. Beautiful.
At 3.20 into the highlights video.
He was a decent player down in Utica. Kind of an unsung hero though he wasn't there for long.

Markstrom 31.
Demko 25.
Tag in the contracts and long term outlook.
...no brainer.
Yeah. I wasn’t happy to see him go, but with Holtby brought in I too figured it made sense. Especially monetary sense.
Also, our team wasn’t ready for a run just yet, so, yeah, younger seemed to make sense.
But now he is putting up Vezina race numbers.....

He wants to play in the olympics.

Ex-Canucks Mad Max Lappierre and Antoine Rousell (The Frenchies) slams Jonathan Toews.
"He was a guy that I've respected my whole career but that is gone today," said Lapierre of Toews. "He is the captain, it is his responsibility to take charge. It is a hard thing to do, but it is a thing that must be done and if you're a leader you just do it."
He might be a champion on the ice, but he is far from it off the ice,
Jonathan Toews is a captain. He’s a winner. He’s all those things… but he may be a little human

I think if it were Slats and/or Iron Mike in the criticized mgmt roles, I don't think Mess would have thrown them under the bus neither. Luv him or h8 him, I think Mess would take a stand for his m8s.

I'm presuming that's more along the lines of what HW was attempting to imply.

Oh yeah, forgot about that angle. Mess prob would have joined Brad Aldrich.

Another shutout by Markström. His fourth this season. In nine games.
Now, Demko is a great goalie, but damn!

Toews is one of the most overrated captains and players in NHL hockey history, never liked the douchey fuck, not surprised with him piling on Beach at the next training camp after the incident, it’s so chicken shit Toews. Glad he has this black mark in his hockey legacy to be honest, it will override his career achievements end of the day, cause at the end of the day it’s all about your humanity, not your trophies. Looks good on the douche fuck because it shows who he really is

I don't think Toews is overrated purely as a player but he's a deplorable Captain. I suppose one could say he's led by example in regards to drive and
pure hockey skills but his personality has always seemed somewhat conceded. Never a good spokesperson. Always seemed forced.

Unfortunately in pro sports cunts and assholes are often the ones who win.
Just an observation, not condoning JT's actions or lack thereof.

True. JT and Dunkin Keith were elite level cunts that I have hated with a passion for almost 15 years...along with beachball Luongo
