You are drooling over a team that still stinks.

The Canucks & Leafs r opposites of one another at this juncture.
We r forming up in goal & D whilst they r going well upfront.
2-3yrs from now oughta get interesting.

Again Vantel, it's not about right now, it's the building blocks of young players they've assembled. They're in a good position, why is that hard to accept?

And for the record, they don't stink! That's just sour grapes. I (frank)in hate the Leafs but they've made some good picks lately.

For that matter all the Canadian teams have bright futures soon.

Nobody says we gotta like the Leafs but yes we can be honest.

Maybe wait until it actually happens .They have been at it for over a decade. Even a broken watch looks good two times a day.

No he will be just fine ....just won't be as a canuck

He's certainly gonna be an nhler but not like some of the guys taken after him, which is disappointing.

Much like Horvat, Boeser would need to work really hard on his skating to be a center in the NHL.
- LeftCoaster

No doubt. He'll need to do that anyway just to compete at a high level. Something tells me Bo gets him to train with his skating coach this off season. BB is doing the right thing for game development in college. Expanding on his deployment, set ups and positioning. He's not looking at just being a one trick shooting pony. That's a good sign for expanding his capabilities.

Different type of player & eg Ehlers is doing great but the Jets r in the same boat as us still. Outside looking in. We needed what he offers. All in due time & what happened to all this patience & developing we've been preaching? Lol
He is only 20 after all.

Adding to that maturng in college is good for him.

It is happening, you just won't acknowledge it.

The Canucks have been one of the better teams in the league over that timeframe, they're six drafts ahead of us, hopefully Benning picks as well as they have with our good draft positions, top ten. Although it looks like he (frank)ed one up already

Isn't that like hoping Gaudreau grows up in a real body one day? It most likely will happen right? He can't live in his Peter Pan frame forever can he?

Andersen has yet to be the starter for an entire season still.
That said the signs r looking good.

Marchand has two goals tonight. I thought he was being suspended.
- Scooby_Doo

think it was a 10K fine.
How do you fine a guy who has already been suspended for slew foots? Its supposed to get worse not easier. F&cking retarded on nhls part.

OK well its clear the way to get to him to stop is trap him in an elevator with guys he's cheap shotted ....

Oh I wanted him, he was my pick, I told Nucker (who was screaming Ehlers) we needed what Jake brought. BUT....after I've seen him play a lot more, that was a 6th overall pick, I was probably wrong.

Jake just doesn't think the game well, that doesn't mean he won't be a useful player, there's still a lot of time to develop him but for a pick that high they should be going with a higher ceiling player.

I have no issue with Johnny's height ..his elite level skill makes up for it

Ever hear of a Marchand hat trick. A goal, some butchered English about how incredible he is and a slew foot.

all you have to do is look at their numbers to see how much they've improved this year to last. It's not that difficult to see. I'm not talking about winning a Cup, I'm talking about measurable progress with really young players I might add.

I don't either I think now that he is 16 years old it looks cute. When he hits 25 he is going to look like the dirty old man of the Munchkins LolliPop Gang

I look at Habs and Blue Jackets and the nice jump they made this year. I look at the Leafs and see a mediocre team that is three points ahead of us

You're just blinded by hatred. They're a lot better this year. Sure they've got a long way to go but they're definitely trending up. See if they can sustain it.
