Yeah...I don't get it either Megs.

Works when you have:

Crosby
Letang
Malkin
Kessel
Hornqvist

..or..

Staal
Cole
Whitney
Brindamour
Williams
Stillman

...I suppose.

Dacshke is not nearly as bad as Drazner.

5-2 Henderson now.

Drubbed again.

Penthouse meet Outhouse.

They should have re-signed Tristen Nelson instead of Kratsov and they’d have an NHLer (or at least a tweener).
Another strike for management.

Why the long faces, boys?

They were scintillating last season, becoming the AHL Champions!

If the parent club were to ever win a cup, we as fans wouldn't give two shites if they followed up masquerading as the 74-75 Capitals. No other NHL team's fans could ever mock us ever again. We got a ring, MFers!

It's never going to look as bleak as the team on 800 Griffith's Way as they bumble backwards towards a 60th season without a championship.

Not even looking remotely close right now. There isn't even a window in the war room to open a crack into a single season of respectability or contention from what I can see.

But I'm still cheering as a deaf-mute would.

So, there ya go.

Feel better now?

Blob McKenzie favorite out to take the opening face off for Colorado.

No Robby Drazner tonight

Ex Abby Canuck Tristan Nielsen in the Colorado lineup tonight.

Scoreless after the first period, with The Eagles carrying the play.

Awww...scratch my back with a hacksaw...

Emergency backup goalie CJ Kier starts the third period in goal for the Canucks with Vancouver having called up Jiri Paters earlier today.

Honest opinion, Megs... do you think Alriksson and Kudryavtsev have a shot at an NHL career, even a minor one?

I have especially high hopes for the Russian, ever since I've followed his progress in juniors. Even if only as a steady 3rd pairing D, it would be very good for this franchise to have another homegrown Dman graduate into a regular.

Yeah, I really think they both have a chance. I'd say Kudryavtsev is pretty close right now. Alriksson scored tonight and was probably the best performer on what is really an ECHL roster.
