Habs win tonight gives them 49 pts.

Games Remaining: 12 total (24 pts possible)

Flames x 3
Leafs x 4
Sens x 2
Oil x 2
Jets x 1

My guess 6-3-3 for 15 pts. Gives them a total of 64 (my pre-season guess was 65 to make the playoffs)

This means the Canucks need 26 pts in 17 games. 12-3-2 the rest of the way. Any more than 4 regulation losses and they’re done.

So you are saying there is a chance? Canucks make the playoffs and I get a double Pfizer and I’ll be a happy man

There’s always a chance until there isn’t. If you wait you will get a Pfizer. If you go now you can get an Astra. It’s really six of one half dozen of the other for you. I’m pretty sure you’re a healthy lad. The Astra *may* not protect you from infection but it will greatly reduce the impact that it has on you should you get it. Pfizer also may not protect you, but the may is just smaller.

Oh I’m not sweating it. More just laughing that what vaccine you get is now a thing of pride. And Pfizer is the Cadillac of vaccines. I may get the Astra next week or I may wait until I’m in the States. Both better than nothing I guess

I don’t see a rookie ready for an entire season & why some vets will be resigned. Also hoping at team friendly deals.

So, just veterns signs at these team friendly deals, but these guys who have proved jackshit sign for 7 + million?

How are they softer? OJ lays a hit out per game. I would guess that Rathbone does the same, which is more than Schmidt's 1 hit every 4 games. If Myers wasn't such a wussy this season and back to his almost two hits per game from last season. Re-sign Hamonic who is more physical than Benn and add Savard who has more hits than Edler does.

OJ would go to PK 1. He was a beast in Utica on it. Green won't let go of Edler though. Rathbone 2nd PK. Savard and Hamonic on the right side.

If we are speaking to roles, than why insert Tryamkin when you have Myers?

In 39 games played this year, the Canucks have 10 goals from defenseman in all situations. Maybe its just me, but I think we need more Quinn Hughes and Rathbone type defenseman than we do more Myers and Tryamkins.

BTW. Covid is kicking my ass.
My worksite has been overun with cases, 200+ now. So they bussed me and other positive cases to covid hotels in Edm. Spent 2 nights there and it got so bad, I called 911. Now in Royal Alex hospital with IVs in both arms, and on oxygen.

Hopefully it works out well for you.

This is funny. Weren't you the one leading the one more year club.
Anyways, I have never been a big Edler fan, although he has been a very good defender for this team.
I look forward to our new top defensemen of Hughes Rathbone OJ and Tryamkin killing penalties. Lol
This team will get crushed.

When they call, you go. If you don't want the vaccine, millions and millions are waiting.
I got extremely lucky because of where I live and
"No wasted doses" that the province says they insist on.

Leading what club? Resigning Edler? Definitely not. He is the last holdout from the Sedins years. I want all traces gone. Edler was a great canuck but he needs to go. He makes $6MM and can’t skate anymore lol

Just effen with you about being the leader of the Sedin one more year fan club. That was probably someone else. Lol
I doubt there is anyone on this board, who is more emphatic about have a more non- soft team than myself, without Edler, this team even softer than melted butter.
If this team somehow got more physical over the next 6 months, I would be thrilled and more than happy not to see Edler play for the Canucks again, I just don't see that happening yet.

I’ve had a few meals w the Sedins. Great dudes. But that’s not my brand of hockey. I get your point. Edler is a tough dude and that will be missed. But time to move on. Replace his physicality w a younger player (not OJ or Rath - you know what I mean)

This is good. I feel better knowing that it's mutual that we laugh at each others posts. I was getting a bit worried over the last few years it was getting a bit one sided me laughing at your posts.

I like Reuby but sometimes he is wrong. I think Calgary will surprise some by how bad they end up being. But what do I know?

- Reubenkincade


Nobody is signing a team friendly deal. The last player who left money on the table was Hamhuis...

Hughes and Pettersson might not have “proved” anything yet, but the have each done something that VERY few players have done to start their careers. Signing them long term is a good gamble.
