Probably the same people who predicted Edmonton would finish 3rd in the LEAGUE last year.

I personally think its a cluster(frank), this set up absolutely needs 16 or 14 teams in both conference...

Set up for an expansion team in Seattle and Quebec with one struggling Eastern team (a few to pick from) to relocate to another Western market (Houston, KC, etc.). Gong show in the meantime.

I think at this point, Buttman would rather die than relocate a team he's already relocated or expanded the league with...He's proven that with Phoenix

That's when you realize that even "legitimate hockey journalists" are just trying to drum up controversy like Cloutier.

Send me the link to where it says toughest. If you go by QoC he's 5th. Corsi Rel QoC he's 4th

- TheNugeIsHuge


It was Corsi Rel QoC.

He was number one of all the D the last I checked. Must have dipped at the end of the year, which isn't surprising considering his inconsistency.

I'm not sure who is seriously writing the Canucks off for the regular season. Though I'm not as bullish as previous seasons I'd agree that top 5 is achievable. But for the playoffs to be a success a lot has to go right for this unit to succeed IMO.

Good post.

Van has a roster that should absolutely be in the playoffs, and could be elite if a few things go their way.

But certainly not the elite lock they have been recently

Change decipher to "figger out" and maybe he'll understand the last post.

Jim Jamieson just wrote an article saying the Canucks are kicking the tires on Douglas Murray. Still not quite sure how I feel about that. I like his size and grit, not to keen on his mobility.

Depends on his asking price. PIT are pretty desperate for D and they wouldn't or couldn't keep him.

I think it is the other way around there sparky, apparently only leaf and oiler fans understand words like "figger" and "gonna"

Perhaps if he had said:

"I am not going to give him his hit. I am not going to give him his hit.

Eff it! Esplen, get a clue."

The rest of us might of understood what he meant.

Are you drunk?

But to address what i think you were trying to say;
It wasnt neccassarily the order of the list which is debateable, but more some of the reasoning and blatant generalizations.
Poor work from esplen...

Of course, he sucks now.
