Thank's dad.

If prohibition ended then all these drugs would actually be tested and would contain what they claimed to contain. You make a great argument to legalize. Thanks.

At no point have I ever been against legalization either.

Sorry, wasn't meaning to misrepresent min played, just thinking of the Karlsson/Keith's of the world etc.

I don't think any of the current blue liners will be here once the team turns the corner.

I wouldn't be surprised if half of them area still around since the entire right side is signed for next season.

so this on twitter

So since linden has left: Gagner has been waived, Schaller has sat, Hutton has been held accountable and MDZ has also sat. Obviously could be coincidence, but Linden has always talked about veteran leaderships and its importance, and preached a slow rebuild. We are seeing Veterans sitting, and young guys thrown into the top 3/6. Just saying.

Palmu and Lind have played 1 out of 2. Gadjovich should have probably went back to junior.

He's already played four years in the OHL and he turns 20 in three days, he'll be fine in the AHL this year.

4 years in the OHL, I don't think he has much to gain as far as development for going back. I am not worried about him in the AHL, Lind was slow when he first went to Utica, takes time for these kids to adjust is all, I think he will be fine.

Boeser was a healthy scratch the first two games last year for the Canucks, its only a couple games, they'll be fine.

Agree to disagree. It will be a serious season of learning. Still eligible for junior. Haven't shown they can take a place of a AHL caliber player.

through 35GP in the NHL, goals aren't up from last season, 217(6.2GPG) in 17-18 and 218(6.2GPG) in 18-19 (shootout goals not included)

Ummmm, guess youre not paying attention. 18 forwards on the roster, someone needs to sit. being a 20-21 year old in the OHL does nothing for his development. I suspect that he needs to learn to be a professional and if not in the AHL, then a brief stint in the ECHL might be in order.

I see no benefit to being a 5 year vet of the OHL. Thats usually reserved for guys who end up in independent leagues...

2 days late but post-game Haiku......


Pettersson is fire
Defense is in shambles bad
Quinn Hughes please hurry



4-3 in a shootout for Carolina

I like OT as well but will say 3-2 Van.

Edler
Horvat
Pettersson - Winner.

Last year was insane. I think it was earlier in this blog that I mentioned that 14 out of the 31 highest scoring teams from the past 5 years were from last season.

6-5 in OT.

Winner: Who cares? It's gonna be fun as hell.

Cull: Juolevi has had very solid plays with the puck and how he's moving it. He's getting PP time and delivering pucks well. He's got poise on the puck. He and Chatfield have complemented each other well 5 on 5.

we are talking about 2 games into the regular season though?

You're ruining the narrative.

- LeftCoaster

So now you're comparing boeser with Gadjovich! What's up with that?

Cull: From last year, we see a much better hockey player in Dahlen that's for sure. For us its now about the details in the game. Making sure he's available for his teammates on the ice, there's small intricacies that we want to absorb.

Cull: Good thing is we're not teaching Dahlen offense, when to go, or how to go. He's got a lot of those great gifts already - its just details defensively. Being available to transition the puck quicker.

6-5 in OT.

Winner: Who cares? It's gonna be fun as hell.
- BINGO!

That's really all alot of us want this year. Some fresh faces and excitement. If they work hard and lose so be it. Entertainment!

Cull on heavy forward roster: This is what happens almost every start of season in AHL, its a little extra this year. But we went through 56 guys last year, and I'm sure Vancouver will have to make call-ups. Opportunities will happen during the year.
