Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Fuck off with the name calling moron.

I love what Markstrom has brought to this team but Benning needs t decide who his goals of the future is. And if he has. I think he has, then he needs to let Markstrom walk. I am told the biggest holdup is trade protection.

Loui Little Things. He does the little things well according to Greener.

If he lights it up ever again, he'd be Loui "Stranger Things", cuz he'd need to be posessed.

The Sedin era isn't really over till Louis is off the Canucks payroll.

is that Gomerese again??

What do the Twins have to do with Louise's contract?? That's like saying the Sedins era isn't over until Luongo's cap penalty comes off the books, or until The stick boy retires.

Go eat some more rainbow crayons.

Now now now, I actually think that was a good take by the Mickster - Loui is the last vestige of the decade-plus of searching for the elusive Winger For The Twins. Crazy to think of how many UFA wingers were signed with the idea of taking that spot over the years.

They had a winger. His name was Burrows. Meshed amazingly with the Sedins for years. Surprised you guys forgot about him

After Alex left, the Twins were already on the decline, and it didn’t really matter who they played with.

But back to the comment, it’s still like saying the era ends when the goalie signed (to end the decade plus of searching for the elusive goalie to end the Goalie Graveyard) is the same thing. Crazy to think how many UFA goalies were signed with the idea of being a long term starter for us.

It’s like saying Edler is the last vestige of the decade-plus of searching for the elusive #1 Defenceman for the defensive corps. Crazy to think how many players were rooted through that spot with the idea of taking over that spot for years...

In a team sport, the era ends when the individual (in this case, twins) leave the team, otherwise there will always be overlap of players.

Now, in reality, if we are naming eras, we are still in the ‘haven’t won a cup’ era. That changes when we win. Until then, it’s the same pile of shit, just sometimes more entertaining than others.

That’s the wrong pony your riding again there, son!

I separated from her after 17 years because she had a drug abuse problem. She was making questionable life decisions around my young children, who I didn’t want exposed to that kind of life. Soon after, she died of complications from an overdose. Technically, I guess I am a widower as we didn’t finish the paperwork before she died.

Tragic waste.

Kinda like 99% of your posts.

But I digress... back to those rainbow crayons your munching....

That was your chance to hammer him with the dagger Mick. Nice guys finish last...

Oh well, MCP at least you dont have to argue over custody or support

To me the 2011 era ends when Edler is gone, but that is just me.

Yes but the Sedin Era ended on April 2nd, 2018.

Yeeeesss, and while Burrows was there the Canucks brought in Loui, Samuelsson, Vrbata, traded for Booth and Kassian. Prior to Burrows joining the Twins, there was Pyatt, Demitra, Bulis, Cowan, going all the way back to ol' Anson Carter.

It doesn't really mean anything, but I agree that there's a straight line from Anson Carter to Loui "But They Dominated On Team Sweden!" Eriksson. Loui's role in coming to this team was to play with the Sedins. As we saw in their final year (well, their final week at least), the Sedins *could have* played another year or two, which would have dovetailed nicely with the Loui contract coming to an end, but as with so many other experiments on the Sedins' wing, Eriksson never worked.

But back to the comment, it’s still like saying the era ends when the goalie signed (to end the decade plus of searching for the elusive goalie to end the Goalie Graveyard) is the same thing. Crazy to think how many UFA goalies were signed with the idea of being a long term starter for us.

That is true, I think the Goalie Graveyard era ended with the Luongo trade. Its been remarkably steady ever since, other than the Eddie Lack year.

It’s like saying Edler is the last vestige of the decade-plus of searching for the elusive #1 Defenceman for the defensive corps. Crazy to think how many players were rooted through that spot with the idea of taking over that spot for years..

I agree, its also amazing how nobody has overtaken Edler for that title of "#1 D" until Quinn finally bumped him off the top PP. Edler has had remarkable staying power, and I personally think he's played some of his best hockey as a Canuck in the past 2 seasons.

Anyway, its an interesting discussion, and I find this much more stimulating than reading the name-calling and piling-on of Micky.
