Love Candy too but I’m going Bill Murray with Groundhog Day, What about Bob and his best sleeper pick, The Man Who Knew Too Little!👍🏻

Don't know the one of the man that knew too little . Groundhog Day seen about 40 times just like the movie.

Kevin Bieksa, "Nathan MacKinnon is the best player in the world"

Mikko Rantanen,, "Nathan is probably the best player in the world".

- Reubenkincade

All around, id have to agree. McDavid clearly isn’t as good on D

Lack of Demko talk on here imo based on the historic performance/playoff debut

The lack of Demko talk?

He had a great game the other night but over this year he had 13 wins in 27 starts. A save % of .905 and GAA of 3.06 . They are pretty mediocre to low numbers on mostly sheltered games.

I think fans have had his back and hoping for that guy on Tuesday but it is one game , let's not get too far ahead of ourselves .

if you like groundhog day check out a movie called palm springs. funny take on the infinite one-day time loop... similar to groundhog day yet different enough. its from hulu so youll have to get creative to find a stream in canada

Which one is supposed to be Brock. Several of the players look like Adam Foote or Colby Armstrong.

I think, for whatever that’s worth, McDavid is the most talented player in the world but MacKinnon is the best player in the world. He’s more physical, he’s just as fast and he’s super skilled.
- Pacificgem

This. Mcdavid has the higher skill cap, but Mackinnon beats him in a lot of categories.

Is that Troy Stetcher or Kyle Wellwood? Also, Bo Horvat looks a lot more ethnic

I had us top 16 for next season but you were the only one I think that stuck to that top 10 prediction...it might just happen with this group...

Maybe the virus, climate, 4th line, human rights, George Floyd, salary cap, McDavid/McKinnon experts could assemble a club that finishes top 10?

They were 18th overall in league standings when the season was shutdown, there’s a lot of fixin that would need to be done in the bottom six and on defence for them to climb into the top ten next season.

Because of their messy cap situation I just don’t see that being a possibility, but stranger things have happened.

It's because they face scan certain players into the game every year. Vancouver actually usually has the most real faces as that's where the main EA studio is.

The stock head on Stecher is so bad though

Tied for 15th if you go off points percentage

I think there are a few ways out of the cap situation, and it won't be as terrible as people think it will be. Not going to be great to send assets to get out of it, but I think it's pretty doable. Silver lining is there are about 4-5 rookies to step in over the next couple seasons that will really help with the cap.

Unfortunately there’s tie-breakers though, so 18th. All of these teams had either 77-78-79 points...all really close. Only Minnesota isn’t a young improving team, they’re old and declining.

They will have to give up some assets or max out on contract buyouts to get get out of this messy situation.
The team needs an upgrade at 3C and a physical defenseman or they can try o ride it out with this group,
Jake will be a casualty of any cap dump imo
