Ray Emery on a 1-year vet. minimum deal.

Finding a goalie to expose in the expansion draft is likely the least of Hexy's worries.

Great news! CBS said this win was morale-boosting, so who knows what can happen now.

Everything about your avatar makes me sick except the fact that on my phone it is very very small.


I'm happy for the boys. Not in the tank nation group. Win as many games as possible and let the chips fall as they may. The point of the game is to win- captain obvious strikes again.

Anyways, I think Hexy will trade UFAs no matter what.

Or feel that the win doesn't warrant a post at all. It's not like 1 win against the Nucks fixes all of their issues. We still know that they are a crap team and the fact that they let the Nucks make a game of a 3-0 lead is kind of disturbing.

I didn't watch the game, but I have a feeling that Captain G ceased to amaze, eh?

I guess Hakstol is one of the people who just can't handle it that MacDonald is playing well.

Maybe since you or I didn't see the game neither of us can tell how he played. But the fancy stats look normal for that line. Man is what ever line Schenn plays on a black hole of Corsi and Fenwick.

Nope. Continue to give us your blissful analysis of a game you didn't watch

They certainly weren't the best line. Im not a fan of it at all, but it kind of is what it is. I really dislike Jake off the first unit too.

The third period they played was the opposite of giving up a lead. They gave the Canucks very little and still pushed. They controlled a lot of the play even after going up 3-0

I liked hearing Provorov getting PP1 time but I wasn't too sure who got bumped Jake or Schenn. I really think they needed to do something to wake that PP up so the swap was fine with me.

I'm never going to wish for my team to willfully tank. I just can't do that, so I want them to win as often as possible. That said, at the current moment, the win last night seems like false hope. Even if they beat both Washington and Pittsburgh, I still don't see them being good enough to qualify for the playoffs. However, that false hope may cause Hexy to be a bit hesitant on potential UFA deals, while I think that a 3-game stretch shouldn't decide that.

These are my thoughts.

This is why we can't have nice things. Clearly you're being a troll douchebag. You probably hate giroux because he makes a lot of money and speaks french. Didn't watch the game? No problem, he did score a goal so he sucks and should be demoted.

I don't know what's wrong with giroux, hopefully it's not a similar scenario to Mike richards where he just fell off a cliff. Possibly he's dealing with some kind of leg/groin injury that inhibits his skating.

Sorry for the first paragraph but I'm pretty sick and tired of the bs sorrounding this team.

Edit I did stay up and watched the game, giroux played ok, not great but ok.
