I wonder how that players only meeting went?

Positive Steps.

All 3 whiners showed up at the same time it seems.

lol give it time. KY has been added to the champion mixture here so things will beef up.

Seen several highlights of Podkolzin, so far this season, kid is playing well, in all 3 zones.

KY just likes to screw around. These guys have been fans for 50 years. They have been able to build up extra special whining abilities.

Lot's of sports on, see where they are by Christmas break. No big deal either way.

2023 draft class has got off to a strong start.


Disappointed the Yankees won. I always like to see them lose. Phillies or Padres now.

He’s been very average, and, he’s not producing points. Disappointing is an understatement. Elias Pettersson, on the other hand, has been playing terrific hockey!!

Harper has been playing lights-outs….but the Padres have an excellent team as well.

Newhook 0 points in 3 games and minus 3.

Canucks could use another speedy undersized forward.

Could also use a speedy undersized defender in Sam Girard. Take some minutes off Hughes.

Yet Garland sits? $4,950,000 cap hit, something needs to give.

Well…you can’t sit everyone, I guess. Other than Pettersson the whole team has been less than average. Which is why they haven’t won a game.

He is on pace for 41 points and is currently +2, on a team that is 0-4.
Sounds decent to me.

Just luck, he’s playing with Pettersson, that’s why he’s plus two

Pettersson is on pace for 100 points and Hughes is on pace for 82 points, where’s their praise from you? They’re both plus players as well.

Pouty has 6 points and is only +1.

Because he has to drive the offence for the Canucks and he gets the opposition’s best checkers

"There are 138 forwards who’ve played at least 200 penalty-kill minutes since the 2019-20 season. Among those 138 forwards, Miller ranks fourth to last with a rate of 9.63 goals against per 60 minutes

Pettersson looks good. It actually wasn't a bad game for the most part.

Wild (away), Sabres (home), Hurricanes (home), Kraken (away), Penquins (home) Devils (home).

Can they go 4-2 in that span?

He’s been terrible, but BB keeps throwing him out there on the PK

It was Columbus, who are terrible, take it with a grain of salt. If they don’t play better defensively I don’t see them winning any of those games. Perhaps a couple losers points?

Rutherford knew about the D when he got here, he said it's "adequate when healthy"

Sooner or later something has to give.

It’s bad, for sure, however, they play bad defensively as a five man unit. That’s a systems thing and a lack of discipline.

Boudreau has never been a good coach for a defensively responsible team.
He tends to overplay his offensive players, no matter what situation.

Kind of like we're seeing now, the next 6 games will tell us a lot, still early.

Brad Shaw off to Philly. They are undefeated. Canucks get Yeo. 😶

Yup.
It is training camp for most of these players.
