Guy who starts hockeybuzz = idiot.

Guys that post = not.

I don't follow his takes but yeah i'm not buying the idiot part. He had enough people fooled for awhile that he made his wizard of oz appearance on sportsnet.

When I was living in Calgary in 2004 he used to have a regular spot on the AM sports radio show sharing rumors. This was before HB, but was how I found out about him starting HB.

The dude is making some decent coin running this website, definitely not an idiot.

He was clearly talking out his ass even then, as nothing came true, but this was before twitter was really breaking anything and the fan base was hungry for rumor content.

that was the reason I found HB. After Ek’s “appearance” on the trade deadline show Don Taylor went off on Ek, and I mean lost it on the guy. After that I had to check out HB… and never left because of the comment section.

Maybe the unvaccinated people the virus is targeting are actually lefty environmentalists that are doing it to themselves to further their global agenda and fuel this "pandemic"?

For those confused about Seattle's nice rating... I'm not surprised.

A big reason for it is that their blue line is projected to be the best in the league defensively. (Also worst in the league offensively, but who's counting)

After all that, here's how I see the #Canucks lines:

Miller - EP - Boeser
Garland - Horvat - Höglander
Pearson - Richardinson - Podkolzin
Di Giuseppe - Sutter - Motte
Macewen, Highmore

Hughes - Hamonic
OEL - Poolman
Rathbone - Myers
Juolevi, Schenn

EK was just Sportsnet's version of TSN's Maggie the monkey.

The Italian chef on 4th line over both Mac and Highmore is interesting

He has more size and uses it more than Highmore. Same size but better scorer and better defensively than Zac Mac.

I wanted him years ago if I couldn't have Foegle or McGinn

Just listening to Puck Soup, pretty sure Greg Wyshynski just said the Canucks have the worst D core in the league.

Props to Benning for dumping all those contracts, and for picking up Garland and improving the forward group, but laughing about the D trade/signings.

Just sharing, not judging

The Canucks drastically improved their defense group, big time.

I'd prefer to not have 2 shrimps on the 2nd line with Bo, but overall i agree on paper.

With so many new players, it'll be interesting to see how line combo's work out.
PodK is penciled in most people's top9, but is obviously a ?

Lets see how they look on the ice first, Baumgartner will still be coaching them.

A Lot of other teams taking heavy criticism. Seattle, Philly, Chicago, Vegas, Montreal, Carolina, Toronto.

These guys are really negative, but not in Vancouver. Whiners, I think you would enjoy the conversation

Edit - Edmonton also with top 3 worst D in the league.

Probably they should listen to Donnie and Dhali, as I’ve heard SN650 were cranky today.

This one is a critical look league wide. It’s fun to hear about all the stupid things all the teams are doing

Green is not going to move Pearson off of Bo's line. He doesnt care if Garland is considered top 6 that's for sure.

There's a few teams that have re-shaped their teams this summer already. Summer isn't over.

What was 650 so cranky over?

I don't feel that it's improved so much as more balanced.
