Apparently this is his best game in weeks to boot
He looks fifty years old out there and he is signed until 2032.
Is he still mourning his dad or...?
I don't know, but his reaction time reminds me of watching seniors' pick-up games.
What's fucked is how close we were to being free of all that.
All the wrong moves, it's like Jimmy has lost about six steps.

That move was disturbingly similar to some of the late moves that Jimmy Benning was ruining us with right before he got keel hauled outta there

Is it too early to suggest Hoglander’s days may be numbered in Van?

Mr Aquilini will stick with this combo for another five years minimum, judging by previous experience.

Once he gets comfortable with his underlings, he is loath to change.

I'm not sure there's a market for Hoggy at the moment.

Maybe as part of a package.

Rossi is a decent hockey player.

The Wolves disguised as Canuck fans have turned on him after half a dozen games of course....

Said it 100 times if I've said it once.

Boeser doesn't skate well enough for the way the league is moving forward.

Wouldn't have signed him....felt like either a panic or maybe QH will stay move to me.

We have him on the books now.

Real nice guy though....

Are there advanced stats to help decide?

Agree, I didn’t want him signed just because I thought it would only be a good contract for a couple seasons. I didn’t not expect him to drop of this much though. Just don’t see any heart at the moment.

Yep. They should have traded him at the TDD for whatever they could have gotten. I mean you wouldn’t believe what teams offered, am I right. I like the person. I love his loyalty. But come on. Although they got him for below 8 per so there is that.
The only HW the Canucks need
