You forgot the do we re-sign Jake or trade him debate

- VANTEL

Oh, for sure and much more. I was just posting prospect/making the team type debates.

Sometimes it feels like we're the only ones who do.

There's also Vantel who's been waving the pom poms a lot lately.

I was referring to Luc Robitaille, but for sure there are others, hands and brains can overcome lack of skating prowess .

Brett Hull

I still believe OJ will be a very good player for us

Same here... providing he doesnt continue down the injury prone road.

Not for OJ. Not yet. He is not good in his own end of the ice.

He can put up numbers though.

As far as pom poms I say we win one round in the POs

True. Also true, he's wearing brass knuckles under the tassels.

Playoffs is my expectations, winning a round would be gravy.

When ppl speak of this team model or that model i ignore it. By the time a team goes that route it’s not worth it nor practical.

I see it as more basic & break it down to smaller areas. The back end is the biggest one to begin with getting the Top 4 in order long term & good pairings make up.

In goal it’s a given no brainer.

For F lines the best constructed line in the NHL imo is Marchand Bergeron & Pastrnak. It has everything & can play in all situations. It’s most difficult to have a Bergeron but a few decent comparables are out there. Marchand like him or not is most rare. Pastrnak the least rare. When it’s all added up anyone saying they don’t agree only hates the Bruins & in denial.

You just said OJ will potentially still be on the NHL/AHL bubble heading into 2020. OSL and I believe that this year will be his AHL/NHL mix season and he'll prove himself as a NHL'er down the stretch and lock himself up a spot in 2020.

I will say we beat Flames first round lose in second round

Well said.

Benning is brining that same unique mix to this group. He witnessed how the Bruins do things first hand and played a part in it himself.

He already had his skill offensive players in EP, Brock, Hughes, OJ and now he's added Pod, Miller, Ferland, Benn and Myers to the mix for size/physicality to go along with Bo, Virtanen and Roussel.

The Canucks are no longer a bottom tier team when it comes to toughness and size, there's a lot of size in the line-up and a few guys willing to throw hands. And no one doubts the skill of the young core.

No reason to be down, things are looking up.

Brett Hull

My bud lived with Mrs Hull in grade 12 in North Van. Bobby Jr played at the North Shore Winter Club with Daddy & Brett on their own.

Not for OJ. Not yet. He is not good in his own end of the ice.

Kumbaya party is where & when?
Gotta know & check my calendar.

I seen an amazing goal from Broberg two days ago ( end to end). I have also seen so bad cough ups. He is 17 and very good size speed and power.I think by the time he is 23 and has figured things out he is going to be a very good pick.

I would have taken him 10 of 10 over Zegras , just my opinion.

Playing top pairing this year, book it.

I will say we beat Flames first round lose in second round

So we are a WC team or 3rd in the Pacific & VGK beats out the Flames?
