Supposed to be just after new years and be like a week and a half. No exhibition games

I'd be happy with just one player injured.

Without exhibition games.... going right into game speed will not be easy.... or safe I think

Especially if that one player is Loui Eriksson.

Let it be so...

Picked up the 20/21 Hockey News Yearbook last night and the Canucks have 3 of the top 50 players in their ranking. Pettersson comes in at #8, Hughes #45, and Horvat at #47.

Add in Miller, Boeser, Schmidt, and Demko and Holtby in net along with a few blue chippers yet to arrive (Pod was #8 in the Future Watch edition while Hog was #27 and they'll be sorry they missed Rathbone IMO) and the skies are looking pretty sunny in Canucksland.

Granted THN ain't what it used to be but I've been reading it for almost 50 years and old habits die hard. Before the internet, and even TSN as the first all sports channel, it was all we had.

No you were not doing that.

You were responding to Dickie saying "That (Petro) contract is gonna haunt them (Vegas)"

Let's take a look at the chain:

Doyle Hargraves wrote: Fri Dec 11, 2020 9:12 am Lol I think the Knights did ok with Pietrangelo
That contract is gonna haunt them, he was decent against us in the playoffs but he wasn’t a game breaker. I think vegas pulled the trigger on him to try and improve there handedness, they were similar to us in that they had way too many lefties.
Pietrangelo is 30 years old and signed a seven year deal. He’ll be damn good for most if not all of it. He will be 37 when the deal is up. By comparison look at Shea Weber and Ryan Suter at 35, Alex Edler at 34, Mark Giordano at 37 all still playing very good hockey. I’d be more worried about Tyler Myers’s play not falling off a cliff.
As per your pattern Mr Hargraves, you just moved the goalposts while falsely accused others of not paying attention.

If you realize you're doing that... you're just an asshole.

If you don't realize you're doing that... you may be in dire need of electroshock therapy.
He was replying to someone else.

Isn't that the drunk's latest excuse?

Though I've long suspected that Doc is an illiterate cunt who only self identifies as an asshole. Preferred pronoun is Strangelove.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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