Chris Rolland ‏@IMissGilly · 57m57 minutes ago
@benkuzma Benning should be fired for losing both a backup goalie and a 8th dman in two days.

I hope that guy forgot the ....

Cannata is good in the AHL but they need someone who can split with him.

Ray Ferraro just commented on Markstrom via TSN1040. Said he watched him before he came to the Canucks, against Grand Rapids (son), he said he had a ton of holes in this game, pucks going in the shouldn't have.

He watched him again this year, not the same goaltender, like not even same ball park, his words. Hopes he can bring that to the NHL, that's the big question.

They had a pic posted somewhere of the differences in his game since he left florida, the way his stance has been altered. Was 3 positions but I can't find it anywhere. Hoping he can stick!!

Now he gets to work face to face with Rollie, let's see what happens.

Yeah I'm guessing it's gonna be a vet until Demko is ready for the AHL(should be close by 2016 IMO).

so how long before he gets traded for a 3rd?

Rollie is known as one of the better goalie coaches in the league.

so how long before he gets traded for a 3rd?

Around the same time as Kessel

At least we got something.

Andrew Raycroft was going to be cut by the bruins but before they could release him, you guys traded for him a first rounder by the name of TUUKA RASK for him.

I believe Raycroft lasted one season in toronto.

Playoffs is a 4 letter word 2x in Tronna

Phil + Dion = Golf

I loved Pronger as a player, don't get me wrong, he was mean, he was dirty, but he was also oh so very talented. Wherever he went teams won...not a coincidence!

It's a joke he was inducted though - down the road for sure but he's still "playing".

HHoF stuff seems to mean less and less the more it is manipulated into feel good stories for media, sometimes by the movers and shakers, sometimes by the players and agents and its less the game of hockey and more the business of hockey.

Since the Laffs r the NHL version of the Cubs here goes...
1967 last Cup n only 6 teams n just 2 miss playoffs.
Only 2 rounds to win Stanleys Mug.
48 yrs n not a single Cup Finals.
Still whining about non call on Gretzky only memory.
Playoffs r a Stanley Cup for the Laffs.

Pretty sad sack resume...
Baby steps then start walking

The Leafs will sign Cody Hodgson this Summer, my first ever prediction on HB. I know that this might lead to years of nocups coming in here and saying repeatedly "Steaming Lombardi thinks the Leafs are going to sign Hodgson, what a fool" but what the hell.

Man are Benning and the Canucks getting roasted on social media. "The west got better except..."
