Which could open up the possibility of putting Burr on the 2nd line and Kass when he comes back on the 3rd, which would put less pressure on the kid and make our 3rd line much more dynamic with skill and size:

A very wise man suggested the same earlier.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

That glare from Healy after Friedman suggested he was acting like a 14 year old was just hilarious.

How did I miss that post-game gong-show??? :bang:

Healy's got a burr up his flaps about the Canucks and/or Torts, but Friedmann exposed him big-time - as well he should have. I would like to have seen whatever happened between those two after the cameras cut to commercial.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

Canucks no. 1 star - Dubnyk

lol...seriously, actually like the way Torts has this team playing, but lets be real here, the Oilers are a fucking train wreck in their own end not to mention that they have minor league goaltending, the game was somewhat flattering to the Canucks. Teams like the Sharks, the Hawks, the Blues are setting the bar in the west, a waste of time measuring this team against the Oilers. Eberle and Yak are hands down the worst players in the NHL at defense. Justin Schultz a great skater and all but fuck is he bad defensively. Taylor Hall, although a complete numbskull, at least makes an effort in his own zone. Gotta admit, the Oilers could be so much better had they made a few different choices at the draft i.e Galchenyuk and Landeskog instead of RNH and Yak. I thought these guys might have been on the right track. The Nurse pick seemingly seems like their smartest draft pick out of the bunch.

Anyhow, like Torts coaching style but this team's bottom 6 and lack of goal scoring, offensive talent will be our Achilles heel. has been for 3 years, nothing's changed. Come the playoffs, we will have to rely on Luongo to try and win 2-1 hockey games or 1-0 hockey games. Ain't happening.

lol...I'm here...actually do like the way Torts has them playing, we will see how it holds up, after all, it was the Coilers, so I don't think plannings for the SC parade route should commence. Still same old cast and crew on this team, our goal-scoring will again be exposed as we do not have sufficient secondary offense on this team. Come the playoffs, where scoring is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, it will be pretty much the same result as we have seen the last two playoffs, and I do expect another useless Roy/Pahlsson trade deadline deal from luggage eyes again.

Gillis inability to address the lack top 6 offensive talent or a quality 3rd line and a quality 4th line is as bad as Burke's inability to address the goaltending when he was here in Vancouver.
