Obs, tonight we battle!


and by that, I mean you have the easiest 4 points in the next couple of games.

A shit bounce, a phantom call and an empty netter disagree.

[Bombur]

Wow this Toffoli guy is a hell of a finisher, the Canucks could really use a guy like him !

[Richybear]

A shit bounce, a phantom call and an empty netter disagree.

You let them somehow have 11 shots by the end of the 2nd, to set their decade-high mark of hitting double digits during a game.
Also, I wish Chiasson would release the pictures he has of Tippett balls deep in a gopher so we could just move on, and get him off of the PP

The four players will miss at least four games because of CoVID-19 protocols

Has anyone noticed that there are a lot more corporate logos on the ice than usual? They are even superimposing stuff the whole game near the blue line.

[synistar]

Sounds about right. I mean, look at the thread title. And all up on the boards at Staples Center are McDonalds arches + Blue Shield of California branding. And along the goal line are more ads on the ice painted on.



Teams and the league need to find a revenue source without tickets & concessions.

Wait till you notice the players helmets.

So Tyler Toffoli has been one hell of a pickup

Who would have guessed after losing a buncha key players to UFA, including their anchor of a goalie, the Canucks would be a dumpster fire this year???

[Richybear]

BuT tHaTCheR DeMKo!

[Vaspinne]

I will say Markstrom, Leivo and Tanev in 3 games so far have been very welcome additions. And with this wonky 5 day break the Flames have for whatever reason, we're gonna have games in hand for a while which will be nice

Canucks lost all those good players due to Dim Jim handing out those insane contracts.


Tyler Myers - 6M
Loui Eriksson - 6M
Brandon Sutter - 4.375M
Michael Ferland - 3.5M
Roberto Luongo - 3M
Antoinne Roussel - 3M
Jay Beagle - 3M
Jordie Benn - 2M
Sven Bartschi - 2.291M
Ryan Spooner - 1.033M

[Wulfgang]

PLD drama getting nuts in CBJ. Also remember when my ghetto MSPaint Perds logo has hit almost 5 years as the sports banner here?

That Eriksson contract was a catastrophe when he signed it and it just gets worse every year.

Whaaaaa? A million bucks per goal scored in a season is great value, wtf you talking about???

On a serious note, Benning didn't give Luongo that long-ass contract, that was Gillis. Luongo is a champ for fucking them over and retiring early though, lol

The combination of Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel and Luongo are gonna cost them $15mil next season too lol

[Cail]

I'm not thrilled about the Caps Russians Covid situation

Everyones going ham on Torts for benching PLD, but if you've seen the shift before the benching...that was a negative effort shift.

[Richybear]

But he wants to go home and play in Montreal and they'll get Suzuki, Romanov and Kotkaniemi for him!!


Not serious, it's ye olde rumour mill. But if Montreal gives all that up (they won't) I'd be like "Seth Jones and _____ are also coming back in that. PLD isn't getting you guys that whole thing"

[Obsidian]

Thornton out a month with a rib fracture, Matthews day-to-day and out tonight.

Welp, let's see what you got Marner.

Edit: I don't understand why these RFAs with no leverage continue to think the best way to get what they want is sandbag until the team caves. The team owns you, my guy. The best way to get traded is to look like you're worth trading for.
