What do you think of Cliff Watson? Scrub or meat for Comets?
- VANTEL

How many injuries do the Comets have! I goggled and couldn't find the entire injury report.
Philip Holm, Evan McEneny are both out. Anton Cederholm and Mackenzie Stewart played last game.

Archibald has only played 9 games the entire season? What's wrong with him?
Wacey Hamilton with 6 games played.

Jordan Subban didn't play last game either.

Cole Cassels should probably go to Europe.

acquiring a physical goal scorer like kane could be just what you guys need to get over the hump.

Feck that, only if they took Eriksson.

He's LA, NY or Vegas bound.

Canucks will get him for free in July, no need to waste assets on him now. They may be exceeding expectations but they're not in a position to compete for a Cup. In my opinion anyways.

Thank you

#Canucks 1st round pick Elias Pettersson was named to the Swedish #WJC2018 preliminary roster. The Canadian roster to be announced at 10am this morning.

If we can get rid of Edler may as well take Kane now.

Edler 40% retained for any draft pick

BEST GAME

JV18 played nearly 15 minutes.
He had four shots.
He had three hits.

It didn’t always look, uh, pretty or, well, orthodox. He can be an odd player to follow around the ice.

But that’s the way it goes sometimes with JV18. poop just happens..

What I do know is that he was in the mix a lot tonight. He is playing more. And playing more is helping him.

Green sees how his speed can help this team even when the, uh, hockey sense isn’t shining.

He is creating opportunities. I’m hesitant to call them scoring chances quite yet.
It will come.

When it does, I’m telling your right now, look out.


This is what Botch had to say about JV's game last night. I would agree fully with what he is saying.

That means they will be playing for the Canucks next season making an immediate impact.

Doesn't hurt
And makes the WJC that much more worth watching

#Canucks final stats. Horvat, Boeser, Goldobin had the best Corsi For +4 each. Gagner, Vanek, Baertschi -14 ea. SOG 4, Hits 3 Virtanen - Tops. TOI 14:36. ZS% Best Sedins. Worst Hutton/Stecher. Without Sutter, Nucks getting owned in FO. Only Horvat above 50%


Baertschi not looking good without the help of Horvat and Boeser?

Trade him. Call up Boucher.

Highly educated nerd I'll have you know

Too early for WJC predictions?

I think it's Finland and Sweden the favorites this year, they both have really strong and deep defence for a junior team and some really prolific forwards.... Pettersson

Obviously I'm pulling for Canada, but they are a younger team without any real big standouts. A big tournament Voleno could put him in the top 5, same with Merkeley and ty smith into the top 10. USA has tkschuk up the middle and wilde/hughes.... could be goos but not as deep.

Finland wins gold. Heponiemi MVP(told you we should have pick Heponiemi )

Ya if Bo and Sutter are out, we lose 60-70% of faceoffs

Veleno, Merkley, Smith not getting invites? Wilde didn't get an invite.

Goldy 2 pts 3 games fitting in quietly
- VANTEL

Goldy's Goal was really something. He showed such grace and patience working into the slot... no one else on the team would have done that --- they would have fired into the Goalie's logo as fast as they could.

As how he look if off the post in a second ---- just wow.

Also ---- Glad to see us win when our Faceoffs were so poor.... makes people respect Sutter.

How about Goals Per Game! BB has played 3 less at least.

Waiting for Goldy to creep into the bottom spots.

I also like he didn't do a flyby after he shot it, he tracked the puck and got a second shot off.
