Start benching players before the POs get here.

I am still hopeful our 11.8 mil second line center can reach 90 pts.

Dhaliwal said Lindholm injury is upper-body. Unconfirmed that he would be hand/wrist.

Still working on a timeline.

Probably not a good sign that he brought up how Pearson started day to day.

Play all the 4th liners 20 minutes a game.

Wednesday #Canucks practice lines

Joshua. Miller. Boeser.
Höglander. Pettersson. Garland.
Mikheyev. Blueger. Lafferty.
Podkolzin. Suter. Åman.
PDG. Bains.

Hughes. Hronek.
Soucy. Myers.
Zadorov. Cole.
Friedman. Juulsen.

What a shame they don't want to put the best 3rd line in hockey back together again.

Looking like Lindholm might be done till playoffs.

Looking like a real possibility. Better to rest & heal up than worry about the standings.

What are we going to get in return for Hronek?

Do you think combined they will get to 90 points on the season?

It is not what have you done for me in the past, it is what can you do for me now.

Petey scoreless in three o the last five, might be time to take advantage of not having a NMC this summer.

I guess Nikita Zadorov was just a rental than with 2 points in his last 5 games.

The focus is on getting 2 top lines going. In game blender at any time.

Up to players to dictate games then.

That sucks, he was just starting to grow on me. I was willing to go up to 4.3 now.

Say goodbye to Joshua also. That is the price you pay when you overpay second line centers by close to 3 mil.

Well that is opening up a can o worms lol

1st up if he’s thinking 8m is real he’s dreaming a bit. That would get PA looking around probably. Don’t see picks rather a top 6 winger +. Then cap space to resign all the UFA’s PA wants back & rework the D a bit with either a UFA or ELC if any are ready but unlikely. Could start the 2024/25 season with pretty much the same D & hunt for what is needed as it moves along.

So if it's only a 5 game sample size and "what have you done for me lately", the problems are bigger than Petey's production...

Petey 5 points last 5 games... Miller 4 points and Boeser 3 points in last 5.

Petey doing better than the other big guns in the top 6 last 5 games.

Not a good idea to plan the teams future around 5 game sample sizes I'd suggest.

Yes indeed & these last 10 games is the time for them to ramp it up. Need to see the top players playing at a high level & overall team structure be the foundation.

Idk about that. I think Dak might come in at 3/2.5-2.75m. Going to be a busy offseason & won’t know much til the dust settles.

But you distinctly said before last game that Petey had five points in three games against two bottom feeders so I was just feeding off your asinine statement of giving him high praises for a three game stretch.


I was wondering what took you so long to answer. Your two other Guardian buddies had to take over for you.

What a weird response. How does that make any sense?


I guess I made the capital crime of using facts and questioning a Vantel post

Sorry we are victimizing you again.

Crying victim is your corner bud. No one does it better than you.

Your comment of knob gobbling Petey's d1ck before last game had me in stitches so I am just playing bad cop. You should know all about them seeing you spent half your life in prison and Juvey.

He has been held pointless in three of the last five games and you were all the way in without lube. He got points against two mediocre teams . Way to go Petey.

There's zero evidence to support your claims
