Schaller, Bo, JV, Roussel, EG . This is the least soft team we've had in the past decade man.
which is not saying much but still.

Agreed. The added grit is needed but we are still pretty (frank)ing soft. Baby steps. Let’s hope that guys like MacEwen and Gadjovich make it one day

Karl Alzner healthy scratch ending his 622 iron man streak. Many teams starting off strong on #loseforhughes

I saw your good ole buddy Bieksa#3 posting at Hf the other day


He’s not a Benning fan
- Nucker101

It has been so long since he has been here I forget what he likes and doesn't like. Is is spelling still atrocious ?

Well Laine just dissed the Canucks. I hope Bo goes up to him and breaks his controller

Yes

Alzner is on par with EG. I was impressed by this move, good message to send.

Going to be a tough year for us Canuck fans in the win column but hopefully Pettersson has a great year. Just nice to have hockey back on tv so I can visit the pub more often.

Did you guys see Ek has Columbus on top of the metro

He's six foot five, big target!!

Enter Jake pls...wham

Ya JV could run him over I'm sure. I'm positive they're more concerned with trying to win tonight though.

Everyone hates Calgary, don't they?

If PLD breaks out I could see them making some real noise this season. They need a #1C

Already have an elite winger, good defense and an elite goalie.

Hopefully we see that this season because the top 6 skill/IQ isn’t there. He needs tmore play to his strengths and keep it simple.

Oh I think he gets 70+ and is a legit 1c. Jones out until november does not look like they will start the season off winning enough to take metro down. I see 3rd place in metro for them, Pitt and Washington are healthy. I think were going to see just how good Jones is with him out 15-20 games and how much better they do with him in the lineup, Werenski will not look as good without him.

I'm just reading the article on the Athletic. Also read Ray Ferraro say on Twitter it's a bad idea. For the players.

I don't blame Nylander wanting 9 mil. Marner will get it and Matthews will get 12 , why should he settle for 6

Clearly Eklund forgot they are missing their best player till mid november to december.

Ya you don't lose a Norris candidate and get off to a winning start when he's down

I don't agree with Ray very often, this is onetime that I do.
Good on Nylander, for taking a stand.
Hopefully the PA shows some balls, and will make salary cap a strike issue.

Oh yeah, another reason why I dislike Linden, he sold out the players association.

He's had two consecutive 61 point seasons, in 81 and 82 games, asking for 9 million is ridiculous in my opinion. Who makes 9 million a year for 60 points and pretty average playoff performances?

Boeser scored 55 here , once , and I've seen suggestions here about paying him 8 mil .

You know what I would like, more camera angles. I like when on the PP they show different angles.


Oh 5-1 Calgary Beagle for Canucks lone goal....
- Makita

The angle from behind the defending net on the PP is great, also the spidercam following the attack up-ice is cool

- VANTEL

Suggestions or not, I'm talking about reality here, I don't know of any wingers, who play with one of better scoring centers in the league, who score 61 points in a full 82 game season and make 9 million dollars?

Maybe some older guys on bad contracts but I can't think of one? Draisaitl makes 8.5 I think but he plays center 60% of the time and he scores nearly 20 more points. Plus everyone says he's overpaid.

Do you kids seriously not have gym lockers? Where do you shower after PE?

Not trying to argue over it Vantel, I just don't think he's worth anywhere near that and good on their management for telling him to take a hike.

Pastrnak makes 6.6 and he's a better player in my opinion.
