Martin on waivers for assignment to Abby.


Not a surprise.

Not a bad game last night. Dries, Brisebois, and Sassons all need to go back to Abby. Oh, and trade ‘rhymes with Tyre Fires’ now that his bonus is paid. He was turnstyled and was still the ‘can’t clear the puck’ guy. Needs to play the veteran laden home games so he looks good, pump and dump, mostly ...

Being the boards resident prairie redneck, I could use a little more explanation here.

Someday this thread will be useful when the threads title is changed to “besides Messier - players you hate”

In which case, I will easily change my answer from:
‘It’s still Messier’

To:
‘After Messier, It’s *so-and-so*’

I'm not saying Garland is the greatest thing since slice bread. I continue to rail against media driven hypocrisy in targeting one guy to pile on non-stop for their own narrative. Garland has done more than Boeser paired with less talent, with less ice and money. Facts. In a perfect world, young ch...

Garland has never gotten a consistent top 6 role or minutes while he's been here. Also sporadic 2nd PP time. Meanwhile to pump up Brock's confidence and value, he's been coddled for years while not performing up to par, doing what he's supposedly paid to (ahem, scoring goals). Garland forechecks, b...

Seeing as we are starting a new season, it’s high time for me to remind everyone,


It’s still Messier.

Media doing their bit to create a Petey problem right off the bat: 'Not a distraction': Canucks' Pettersson doesn't see contract status as an issue https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/not-a-distraction-canucks-pettersson-doesnt-see-contract-status-as-an-issue/ Man, does Petey ever hate the media. ...

While we will never know the real truths behind the Babcock stories (I don’t see predator? — but I could be wrong), but if I was in Babcock’s shoes, I would look at all the drama caused by the youth of today, then look at those 50 sheets Toronto already paid me, then decide the drama is not worth i...

To Coach Tocchet: get the machete out early in preseason and start cutting the crap so we can get the regular season roster ready

Holy fuck, with 70 players starting camp, it better be a chainsaw, not a machete!

It’s better than some best guesses out there.

I saw a 23 man roster with no goalies on it that was under the cap as well.

I’m not sold Aman needs ‘more development’ time. We saw his ceiling last year. He is a 4th liner. His ice time will not move the needle on his skills set, potential or ceiling. If he is outplayed by 13 other guys, down he goes, or trade him. It matters not. He is a serviceable call up for the 4th li...

… Juice on the toxic Vancouver media
“They never met a bad story they didn’t like”

Beauty!!

The accusers are Mike Commodore and the crew over at Spittin Chiclets.....they've long had a bias against Babcock, especially Commodore. Incorrect. The NHLPA conducted interviews with the players - and this was the main reason Columbus Mgmt. decided to move on from Babcock. Bissonette just brought ...
