Seriously. Look at that roster. 8 CANUCKS REGULARS missing and even then it's a fringe NHL team

Funny I was just looking at their roster for this game and it seemed like for every other name I was saying ".... who?"

Granted I don't watch that many Canucks games but sill, definitely seems like a scraped together team.

i like these Nashville commentators, quoting Top Gun and shit. good stuff.

also Nashville is obviously going to win. i'm predicting 20 seconds into OT and Forsberg embarrasses Hellebuyck.

Shore
Cramarossa
Chaput
Labate
Boucher
Megna

Such waiver fodder. And that's just forwards.

Rebuilds are tough. Next season won't be any better either. At least Utica may get a few new young guys.

Regulation loss would have been better but Chiarot and - l o l - mark Stuart on an OT PK is a guaranteed goal against so still good for the tank.

But damn I thought Laine had that five hole, would have been gorgeous

hmmh.. that was some really great hockey. cant be too mad, except at myself for missing the first 5 goals or so because i STILL cant apparently figure out timezones.

Laine looked great and still has a real chance to win the league in goals. which would be incredible.

Bahaha

SN: "You said there were a few teams that contacted you. Why did you think Vancouver would be a good fit?"

Drew Shore: "Um, just I think the opportunity they're giving young guys."

Code for: they offered me playing time in the NHL because they're a fucking skeleton crew

So with Granlund about to reach 20 goals and 40 points, and being solid defensively, is it worth revisiting the trade yet?

EVERYONE IS TRADING FOR TRASH






Why did they trade Shinkaruk? I though the Canucks we're rebuilding, why trade a young asset to a divisional rival???

Granlund is 22
Shinkaruk is 21

Granlund has been a PPG player in the AHL but has struggled with the Flames. Shinkaruk just became a PPG player in the AHL and hasn't really been given much time in the NHL.

*shrug*

I'm not saying the Canucks won the trade. We've only seen one season of Granlund and Shinkaruk could still become a top 6 forward...? But holy christ at that reaction

Jim Benning has been playing 4D chess against the entire league. The long con has been revealed.

damn, the Flames really are pretty damn good. held off Crosby and Malkin and Kessel and whoever in overtime playing shorthanded 3 vs 4.

just a few days ago i hated them but now i REALLY want to beat the Pens in the shootout, hockey is a funny game.. GO FLAMES GO!!!

edit: MWAHAHAHAHA that was really satisfying to see Crosby and Malkin and Kessel fail.

We looked dead and slow for second half of the game. PP looked like crap the last 2-3 we had.

what, why? i dunno.. oh you mean because farmers have to keep track of time and seasons and stuff..? but i don't think thats true.. i don't know any farmers. the service industry's gotta be bigger. or marketing, IT... that's were most people are, i think. damnit now i'm all confused, maybe i've lived in a city dweller elitist bubble and in reality most of Finland really are rural farming folk yet i've never talked to them so that means i don't really connect with my own people and that's a bad thing plus if a lot of them watch hockey we have a lot in common without even realizing so things could get better and we could unite as a people and not go down America's path down self-destructive populism that will swallow us all into a pit of despair that we'll never get out of and humanity's golden days will really be behind us... shiit

Seriously though, Boucher on the second line?
Cramarossa and Shore on the 3rd? a 4th line of Labat-Chaput-Megna?
