Edler is 9 points away from becoming the highest scoring defenseman in Canucks history.

What do you mean? It was an accident, absolutely no intention of landing his elbow directly to the head. No suspension at all!!

As sad as it is, every coach has his favs. It’s probably easier in the room to sit a young guy then a vet. It’s bullsh!t in my opinion but it’s reality.

It's Ratface Marchand, they are always extremely lenient on him.

I wish he was a Canuck

Man the first PP unit is legit with Horvat healthy again. Sedins with the kids is a perfect balance of playmaking and scoring. Imagine that PP with a legit point threat instead of Edler...drool. Edler has been playing pretty well outside of that terrible giveaway the other night, but he’s not a PP1 dman.

Nice to see Eriksson finally do something. Vanek is a beast at home. His local cocaine dealer has the good poop.

Brock

I agree with Don, Virtanen looks lost again and needs to go to the AHL. Disappointing after he showed some promising glimpses to start the season. Seeing Ehlers flying again tonight is just salt in the wound.

Hopefully whoever was responsible for that pick will learn a lesson. Ignore passports when drafting and draft high skill/speed/IQ when you’re drafting 6th overall. More EP type picks and then draft guys like Gadjovich/Lind/Gaudette in rounds 2 through 5 if you want some sandpaper.


Kings really miss Carter, man did they struggle to create offense.

So... no to tchunck with pick number 3 then?

Great pick by Aquaman and Benning

could have had Ehlers

He would've been banned from the league by now.

Go sit on a dune and think about what you've said. You should be ashamed of yourself, you're a bad lefty.

Brock is a peach though. Win some lose some

What....he's a great player, so he's an bumhole, so what. As long as he doesn't pull hair or bite players I could care less. Players who play physical cross the line on occasion.

I'd rather him score 80 points than a team full of creampuff 50 point players.

Can't win em all on the draft floor but that won't stop me from female doging about it

Could have been worse. There are a couple of real dud's picked before Jake

[quotet =Kaynine]As sad as it is, every coach has his favs. It’s probably easier in the room to sit a young guy then a vet. It’s bullsh!t in my opinion but it’s reality.

Not advocating one way or the other, so stick with me for a second, but let’s say you have two players. Both players are 21, first year in the league. Player A is a pure goal scorer, dynamic, fast, electric, Pavel Bure type guy, but only some of the time. Mostly he floats around, waives his stick at guys as they skate around him, and cherry picks out around centre ice even when his team is hemmed in their own end. Player B has enough skill to have gotten to this point, but he doesn’t dazzle. He is always the first one at the rink, the last one to leave, always goes into the corner hard, and almost always comes away with the puck.

When you are down a goal late in a game it sure would be nice to have your goal scoring kid going, but as the coach you know it’s just as likely he’ll cough up the puck leading to a chance against.

I’m not saying “Vets” are always the hard working guy, but most of the guys who have long careers have had them because of both their individual skill AND their preparation and “compete” level at practice and in games.

As much as I would love Jake to be a wrecking ball out there, I’ve seen too often how soft he can be

On this date in 1981, #Isles Mike Bossy became the second player in #NHL history to record 50 goals in 50 games #sniper

If Jake's destined to become another Nicklas Jensen, chalk it up to experience and move on. Let him ply his trade as a career AHL player. Sorted.
