The East also had 5 teams finish with less than 80 points and one that finished with less than 70. Only 2 teams out West had less than 80 points.

That great Leaves defence and their triumvirate of potential Vezina Trophy nominees in goal gave up three fewer goals than the Canucks did this season. Keep in mind the Canucks top two defensemen missed 57 man games between them. Looks like the Leaves are playoff ready.

When I lived in England everyone wanted a Polish builder cos they did superior work. If you wanted to get a job done for cheap, hire one of the local asians, but they'll circumvent building code and all that. Interesting. I had heard from relatives in the building trades that they upset the apple c...

"Shopping" implies the expectation of a return. What did the Canucks wind up with?

They got a small, slow footed defence man whose scored fewer NHL points than Alex Biega.

Here are some of those who have left, probably not a complete list: Guess they must have fitted the White House with revolving doors... :mex: Here are some of those who left the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION , probably not a complete list: Guess they must have fitted the White House with revolving doors... ...

Not sure if this has been posted but, Petrus Palmu is going back to Finlandia. So.... I'm guessing he tried Absolut, but didn't like it? :| Hah! I was across the water from you just outside Tallin in September where they had a vodka tasting contest at 10:30 AM and I was conscripted to do my duty. I...

He'll be 35 years old then. Sign him for 2 years with a NTC then let the 21-22 expansion draft play out. Then address Edler.

I know eh! It's sure is a pleasure watching the beginnings. Kind of like Sedins' early days. Glimpses of what's to come (yeah, it's gonna get even better!). So our Core: Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, Shotgun, Quinn (yeah, he's already pencilled in). Who's next to join? Hutton, Demko, 2019 1st, Dahlen...

True that. Hey one thing though...here we are, mired in the middle of a losing season and i cant help but be stoked as fuck for games. Love watching the kids develop...the talent we are rocking these days makes the future bright and the present record almost...inconsequential The kids don't quit. T...

Dreger: "I don't believe that William Nylander has shaved anything off his original ask. I don't think he has. I think he's still stuck on 8.5 - Leon Draisaitl money." Dang, Nylander wants that Leon cash $8.5M per. $$$$$ Music to my ears. If Dumbass doesn’t give him that money, somebody else will. ...

Canada talking tough with the Saudis. I guess we can always hide behind Trump and the US military if things get real. No. My self defence instructor was a RSM with the Canadian Airborne and a career soldier. He was in the Balkans and at the battle of the Medak Gap where the Canadians routed the Cro...

So what station is going to run the games and hockey talk in bc? NW98? 650 am has the games still. They just killed 1410 for American Sportstalk. So now all we get is local guys talking about a horrendous hockey team, a beer league soccer team and a bush league football team in an eight team league...

TPS Turku lost 6-5 in OT to Tappara and have been eliminated from SM Liiga playoffs. Olli Juolevi had 2 assists in today's game and finished the playoffs with 2g 5a 7pt in 10 games. It will be interesting to see if he heads to Utica now or if he's planning one more season in Europe. Palmu scored tod...

HNiC reported after the Canucks/Oilers game that Alain Vigneault is now unemployed.
