Re: Coaching Change? Yay or Nay.

We won! The ship has been righted!

Let's sign Green to an extension and Benning too!

Not. ;) ;)

Re: Coaching Change? Yay or Nay.

Yes. Same with Benning (he should have been gone a long time ago). How Acquilini can stick with Benning this long is just beyond me. "Jim has a plan" supposedly. What a friggin mess... A handful of bounces their way over these 9 games and theyre rocking a 6-3 record and nobody is criticizing anythi...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

There was an article floating around talking about Quinn being the best dman in the Canadian conference, what a bunch of the dummies in media don’t realize yet is we got the second best dman as well in Nate schmidt. He’s gonna be a massive eye opener for people in Vancouver, and Canadian media in g...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Anything with the constipated whale is a disappointment. These are meh. Not terrible but not worth spending money on. If they had some balls, they would have done the 80s giant Vs for reverse retro in blue, green and black. Best jersey in the last year is still the stick and rink, closely followed ...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

No this is old news. With the lack of revenue the new CBA agreement has a 20% escrow this season (down to 6% in later years). On top of that there is a 10% additional hold back this season that the players could get back in later years if the revenue improves enough, but it probably won’t so practi...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

It looks like with the condo market being not so good and everything Mr Aquilini has squashed buyouts this season so Cool Hand Jim wasn't able to clear the space he needed to carry out this off season's plan. Yeahn, buyouts are no good because the cap-hits would carry over to the next season(s). Pe...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Good pickup by Benning. Wish Schmidt was 27 instead of 29 considering his contract and age of the core, but the acquisition cost is pretty sweet. Like UWS pointed out, I don't think Benning wanted to be hemmed-in by term and NMCs - which is what Markstrom and Tanev wanted in the end. With that, and...

First impression....Great signing!

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

What's going on with OEL? Haven't read/ heard anything since the morning. And HW is staying mum on it. Either she doesn’t know or she knows to stay quiet about details until after the fact.....in which case it’s very very close. Yeah, the 'tweet' said this: "The teams are believed to be grinding ov...

Re: 2020 NHL OFFSEASON

They can do this by starting the season with a Canadian division and three U.S. divisions. Canadian teams can just play each other at least to start the season. Then they don’t have to worry about the border opening. If the border doesn’t open in time the Canadian teams can just repeat playing each...

We won’t find out about NHL and border opening until after Nov 4th.

That is a safe prediction. Covid cases are rising in many provinces and states and that is not good news for people who want to watch live sports.

Dreger claims a couple of teams have told him the Coyotes want a first and a second, prospects and a young roster player. 29:15: https://rayanddregs.com/ What are they smoking? The Coyotes are trying to dump that contract....THEY should add a sweetner to get us to take that contract. I say a straig...

Re: Goalies moving forward.

Forget about Lundquist. He's a New Yorker now with a family and has made millions. No way he is coming to the West coast and enduring all the travel for an low % chance at a cup. If he signs anywhere it will be on the East coast.
