Nice win last night!


Watching a game like that, I still expect sht to go sideways and we some how lose

I'm not expecting playoffs, but it still could be interesting down the stretch if we can get some wins.

I still expect the playoffs. They don't have to finish better than all the teams just one or two. If they beat Winnipeg these next two games they are close. If they lose they their chances are slim.

Good start going 2-1-1

I still see the Canucks in at least the fourth playoff spot but to do that they will need to take advantage of tired teams. Specifically Cal and Edm.

Withe the 82 game format and the full schedule I would have fully expected PO's but with this format another 5-6 game losing streak will just kill clubs. I'll stick with my original prediction I have us around 15th-19th spot. I think we finished 21st last season?

Plus I hit the pick 4 last night for $250!!

As cliche as it sound worry about one game at a time. It's all you can do.

Nice on the 250

Any team that hits a 5-6 game losing streak is going to slip in the standings. The thing with playing all in-division games is you're giving ground to someone all the time.

If Winnipeg lose their next 6 (Van Van Montreal Montreal Van Van), the Canucks will have opened a 6 point lead on them. Not that I'm expecting that to happen, but if one team goes cold (cough cough Calgary), it's going to show in the standings real quick.

Good thing too as I missed a $3300 pick 4 at GulfstreamPark yesterday...cheating fu*cks...lol

Once we get to the 'meat' of the schedule after 25 games or so those 3-4 point swings are gonna be massive. One 5-6 game skid with no points in regulation teams will be toast. Hopefully the Nucks are flirting with that 4th spot in the division by then or right there. WPG and MTL are dropping back down to reality a bit but Van and Calgary still remain an anomoly lol. I still have the Oil finishing right behind TO they just need a few fu*cking saves lol

Kessel - 0 Goals
Tavares - 1 Goal
Nylander - 2 Goals
MacKinnon- 2 Goals
Eichel - 2 Goals
Petterson - 2 Goals
Malkin - 2 Goals
Stone - 2 Goals
Barzal - 3 Goals
Panarin - 3 Goals

That might be an overpayment

It has not worked out well for the last two teams that acquired him.

I have said this before and I will say it again, Eichel just isn't as good as people think he is. For 10 million he is a massive overpay.

Ya he seems to be a bit of an issue in the room especially from what I heard of his Edmonton days after McJesus arrived.

It makes me wonder about the dollar value of Hughes and Pettersson. I figure they will both come in at 7 mil but both are playing like 5 mil players. Hughes mad a lot of mistakes in his own end again last night but is leading the league in points for a Dman .

Petey's numbers this year don't support a 7 mil player but in his two previous years do .

Tanner Pearson leads the #Canucks with 35 goals overall & 22 goals at home since being acquired on Feb 25, 2019

He's been pretty damn good and consistent for the team.

Seen a headline by the Athletic about buy out Jake.

At first you think what a croc of sh1t but if you think of it more you say okay I can see that.

Option one is for sure move ,trade , expose him at the draft , do anything he is basically a write off.

If you are still stuck with him next season and no one wants his salary it only costs you 50 K next year to buy him out seeing he was under 25 when signing the contract. You save 2.5 mil next year. It does have a half a mil cap hit the following year .

But if they play like this year then it is an overspend .
