Should go first overall IMO, I'd go Drouin, Jones, MacKinnon.

I'm assuming you aren't counting Eager as an nhl player then.

lmao, what a pathetic thing to say. Where did you pull THAT one out of? haha I guess tonight's game has you a little on edge, so you are forgiven.

Evander Kane is challenging Kesler for most annoyingly pathetic NHLer...Kane may have passed him actually.

I don't give a (frank) as long as he keeps scoring for me in the pool. As an NHL owner/gm I wouldn't care either as long as the player is putting up points and not destroying the locker room.

Nah, their new GM drafted a lot of the Blues players and got some steals and very few busts at all. I honestly think that they'll be a good team in a few years.

WTF are you talking about?

It's a completely valid comment—Eager has to be the biggest douche in the NHL.

Yup, he's up there for sure. Unfortunately Kesler is too, but IMO Marchand wins hands down.

The Canucks should be able to get away with anything—the refs deserve any kind of verbal abuse the Canucks can think of.

They owe the Canucks so many make-up calls they should be swallowing the whistle on any infraction by the Canucks short of murder...

Are you watching the game?

If the refs aren't doing their job right, they deserve every ounce of abuse.

Have you watched this game though? I usually agree that the refs are horrible both ways and try to be unbiased but I PVR'd the parts I missed and re-watched during the intermission and the refs screwed the Canucks over repeatedly. They've screwed the Wings over a couple of times, but the Canucks about 5+ times and in more critical situations.

Are you watching the same game? They've been awesome. Two hilight reel goals.

I am

5-3 Detroit

Did you see the last three power plays

So it's the refs fault

Wow

How do you spell dilusional?

Hope Canucks win

Wings look tired so it still may happen

Lappiere has toned it down though, I'd say Kesler has moved ahead of him and Burrows since he's the only one who hasn't toned it down over the past year. Marchands wins, no contest.

Yup, the PP's been bad. It's the fault of every single player on the ice.

My comment was about your evaluation of the Sedins. They've been great.

And even the Wings fans here are agreeing about the reffing.

Now piss off if you're feeling like a wiener today.

For sure, but it's not really close. I'd say Detroit's been screwed around twice and the Canucks around five times so far in this game. The PK has been awful though and there's no excuse for that.

I've never seen that dude once say anything positive on this blog, safe to say he's just a hater or troll.

Yeah, refs have been bad but the wings still had to score the goals. The Canucks didn't score on their chances, so there's the biggest issue right there.

On the bright side, Canucks girl won by a landslide. LA coming up in a few games, could be a tough match up.

If you got a fav Canucks girl, post the pic and I'll put the pic in the game day threads

PK needs to protect the middle of the ice, gap control is horrible.



Edit: Wow, even with refs the Canucks don't deserve this win.
