Nice Hughes.

Boeser has really struggled in this game.

Lankinen is poop.

The play that stood out to me in the game against Florida was this Mikkola hit on Sure Wood. https://youtu.be/gQ3I21h4cz8?si=EkOr8uddXBkbSb3Q That looked to me like boarding AND and an elbow and a hit to the head (I think). (Mikkola's wings were high all night, but that was the most egregious hit ...

Easy to say that 3 years later. Nobody was complaining at the time , and the following season the deal was a landslide win for Vancouver. These discussions were happening in the summer of 2022, IIRC, and extended through that season even after Miller signed his extension. My recollection is moving ...

A few thoughts: * What a great effort to score three goals and tie the game after giving up 5 in a row. (Assist to Bob being way off). But you knew the Panthers would come, and you could kind of see the Canucks relax after tying the game which you can't do. Same thing happened after the Canucks went ...

Officiating is a random outcome generator with this crew.

What's your watch to post % ratio? Just saw some highlights. Patera is a big dude. Like the way he "looks" in net. And somehow he is rarely in the net. Canucks are breaking down often, but he’s been awful. He made a remarkable save, so there’s that. But it was remarkable because he took himself out ...

Me too, and I don't think much of him as an overall player. But by being competent at draws and competent on the PK, he serves a marginal role. And you are absolutely right to see the potential offensive upside as simply being freeing up EP40 for more offensive zone starts.

So, MacEechern almost has more points last game than Bains in his career. Can we safely say the Bains experiment is over, or do some here still think he needs more that the 40 games (or whatever) he already has to ‘get his fair shot’ While I am not sure on McEachern, Bains hasn't shown himself to be ...

Fun fact: If the Canucks win tonight, they will have a better record than the Stanley Cup defending champs.

Prediction: That sentence won't be said again this season.

But hey, Go Canucks Go.

I didn't have a chance to watch this game, but I watched the goals. I can't comment on the game (but can the goals). And what those goals showed was that everything Carolina did to get "lucky" and beat the Canucks, the Canucks did to the Bolts on 4 or maybe all five of those against-a-goalie goals ...

Hey my memory isn’t all that bad! Brutal to fight for a playoff spot without Jovo and Salo.

Edit: Update - Hughes listed as Day to Day Approaching worst I have ever witnessed stage. I agree. There was at least one season of heavy injuries when Brandon Sutter was supposed to be an important player and earned the Birdbones nickname, but those were teams that didn't have much of a shot ...

The intel I received was that $163.00 dollar upper bowl seats were being discounted to $93.00 in the days leading up to the game. At some point FA will need to look up from the Linguine and take stock.... And this is the incentive to be a bubble team or better. It isn’t just the gate for a 2 or 3 g ...

The Jets with 3 very lucky goals in the first period.....the Canucks with 3 good goals. Count the "earned" markers and it's 3-1 Vancouver. Winnipeg did not deserve this one. Lady Luck is a cruel mistress though. Yes, luck, but you put yourself in a position to be lucky. Go to the blue paint, force ...

I don’t know what Fantilli’s major malfunction is right now, is it Lafreniere disease? I don’t know, but I’d be hard pressed picking him over Carlsson. Huh? He had 31 goals as a 20 year old. He has only two this year, but he's shooting @ 6%, less than half of his career average. Small sample size, n ...
