Zone time was kinda sorta even, although the Sedins dominated, we just don't have any offensive horses, especially on "D", or defensemen that can play defense outside of Edler and Tanev.

And their goaltending was better than ours.

Hartley gave WD fit's.

Shink had a rough start this year , surgery . He has come along nicely as of late, not to mention Sven has 5 pts in 4 games in the PO . This is why I don't see the need to keep rolling out Higgins Burtows

Screw the old wieners, we need to be younger...even if it means a down year!!

Definitely had more experience and it showed.

Anyone who thought that Calgary was winnable series is seriously delusional about where the Canucks are at.

It was their best shot at winning a series.

Every fan base is delusional as far as expectations about their team

They need a couple of young guys who can play and have no problem pounding guys like Ferland in the head. Defense that will battle back when hit and not get pushed around. Make teams think twice.

I expect the Leafs to (frank)ing suck, are you saying that I'm wrong to do so...???

Depends....as in 1st overall suck, or 5th overall suck? Because you're pretty good at the latter.

That is correct.

Figure out what the level of suck is , then expect to finish two levels lower.


I was looking at what is left as far as contracts go, leafs don't have much past next year.

Not sure if you watched the first game, Ducks vs Flames, the Ducks are biggish and heavy, they gave it right back to the Flames and Ferland...they folded rather quickly.

We really need some bangers on that fourth line, but they've gotta be able to skate, our defense has to get bigger and meaner as well.

As will you guys be when Willy Nylander is lighting you up and Virtanen is still back in the dressing room as he hasn't figured out how to tie his skates yet...

Virtanen will absolutely steamroll that little girl when we play once a year

Would you like some mashed potatoes to go with them???

Unlikely without skates on

Meanwhile Higgins Burrows Bonino and the rest of those (frank)in plugs will be trying to find their jockstraps when McDavid skates circles around them six times a year

He plays in one of the easiest leagues for juniors to get points. I think Ehlers may be better too, but I think his hype is too much.

Keith Richards in his book "Life" says the best way to cook bangers is to start with a cold frying pan on lower heat and slowly let them "rock and roll", works!
