lol called 6-2 Flames and was only off by a goal.

And for those who want Miller back careful what you wish for:

Miller - 2.80 GAA @ 0.914 sv %

Markstrom - 2.63 GAA @ 0.910 sv%

Markstrom actually had a better GAA last season and sv% was close to identical.

We do need to see Nilsson however. Markstrom has looked leaky.

Really getting tired of Sedins on PP1…pass pass pass pass no shot.

How did LE look?

Living in Vancouver I have a better feel of why people don't go to games.

Price :cost of going to a game for two usually will run you 300.00

Product: The team is horrible

Access: Getting to the game and home adds two extra hours. Along with that crowded transportation. No parking along most Sky Train routes. Long walks from bus routes.

Construction : This alone has kept many people out of the downtown core.

Comforts of Home: Hi Def tv's ,replays, cheap booze , comfortable seating and easy washroom access.


This is why attending sports venues is falling off. In Edmonton you can park your car at malls and they have multiple express buses to drive you to the venue . Ample free parking. Vancouver does not

lol very true. New Rogers place in EDM dod not install enough bathrooms and it is a huge issue

No one is trading for that....no one!

Yup . The only thing that can get you out of this contract is a career ending injury.

Benning is an idiot

I'll never forget when he pissed Lum off when he told him he's a journeyman carpenter so could be a dentist in England

Trevor and Francesco approved of that I would assume, they're as much to blame.

Hutton has been brutal for the last 86 games. He also drags his partner down . Weircioch may be a better choice

He's really young though, put him in situations that suite his skillset and let him learn.

Green is just like Willie, his job at the NHL level is to win, thus you see the Sedins still getting the PP time. He obviously feels they're the best chance to score.

I think he thought you're spending that much on food and beer at the game.

That is one of my biggest gripes with this team is they have not found replacements of top value. Instead year after year doing the same thing.

JB isn't an idiot.

I still don't know what TL does.

The vets do take up too many key minutes together.

The youth are complimentary pieces but they have youth on their side. Speed, and energy. Find the right mix and the right combo.

Youth doesn't need to take over right now but they have to be allowed to help out.

The Sedin's with 8 minutes of ice time on the PP.

- manvanfan

Sorry vets again with less minutes, there was 18 minutes of PP.

Definitely seeing it now. Forsling and McCann are making it look that way. I like Gudbrandson and the way he is playing and McCann could be a douche but still might be a mistake.
