Uhm, according to the lines Carol posted Sutter was the “3rd” line C. There are 12 forwards, and it doesn’t matter if I do the new math or the old math, that looks like the bottom 6 to me?

sure and Ericsson pettersen leipsec are the 2nd line. I mean you can write it that way , and maybe I'll be wrong, I would bet you a beer Sutter and the "third line" get more minutes. and then you could bring up that he takes defensive face offs more to muddy the waters, but in the end we won't play Sutter like a 3rd line center. he will be relied on like a second liner.

Nilsson still sucks. Grab a guy off waivers. Tell Marky hes #2 and he will probably suck less.

Send Marky packing to Utica he’s useless.
Nilsson is no better but cheaper.
Yes grab someone off waivers.
This will be an ugly season so move on from the dregs & tank it.

Love it there

I am going to take one small leap... but I just figured it out. The boys are playing possum, as soon as the games really matter, well...look out because then the games will be exciting.
- Makita

well the wings are 7-1 and the leafs 6-2 so it shows that preseason means squat

best october Nucks team ever, oh, and hashtag that mofu's

Yup, goaltending, that’s the problem with this team. If only Miller was still here and they would be pushing for a playoff spot.

I’ll take that bet

I was told flat out that minutes don’t matter, it’s all about if they are a “scoring line” or a “checking line”. Sutter will play 20 minutes a night and be the 3rd line C.

They don't award the Presidents Trophy for preseason.

You can write it anyway you want, Sutter is the only one really playing tonight...#1 centre

Does special teams minutes matter?

I’ll take that bet
- Nighthawk

I don’t know what that means? Do you think with Miller in net this is a playoff team?

agreed. I miss Vanek and so does boeser....

I hope Archie makes the team, he isn't better than some of the other bubble guys but at least understands that you need to take the puck to the net.

I keep thinking he looks like got slower.....but I missed the 1st.

I'm starting to think the twins weren't as bad defensively as we thought, it's just everyone.

I’m not sure, I’m not the minutes man. But I do know Sutter is going to play ALL of the hard ones. The easy minutes will be where the scoring lines do all the highlight reel stuff.

I do like Horvat though. but he is a true grade A+ 2nd line center.

and I like him so much I feel bad saying that

it means he is buying me a beer

There's no such thing as easy minutes, it's frickin hard to score in the NHL, as the Canucks are making very apparent.

in other words the team looks so friggin bad and with the penalties Sutter looks good, he’s a 2 dressed up as a 10

Whaaaaaaaaat? You mean the young guys aren’t going to have an easy time of it because of all the hard minutes the bottom six will play? What kind of crap was Benning feeding us since July?

Calling you out.
Miller wouldn’t be the joke either of our goalies are.
Idk why you mention PO’s.
