Popular Post Captain Hughes Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 (edited) I hope zadorov takes ovi out for the rest of his career. Zadorov man enough to say he's against the war in Ukraine and ovi is a putin loving asshole. Hundreds of thousands of dead russians and Ukrainians and ovi still loves the guy, he's his buddy. Fuck ovi It would be like draisitle saying Hitler is an OK dude. Edited March 16 by Captain Hughes 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Good short read Three days before last Friday’s NHL trade deadline, reports surfaced that the Canucks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins were discussing a potential three-way trade that would see Lindholm flipped to the East Coast and Jake Guentzel land in Vancouver. “It wasn’t upsetting,” Lindholm said after Friday’s practice at the University of B.C. “I was more nervous, kind of. I mean, you never know in this business right? It was just rumours, but it definitely affected me a little bit. I just got here and then it looks like you're on your way out again? It was kind of good it just lasted for a couple of days. These days, you know, it's tough to not see and hear everything. But it definitely affected me a little bit.” At his post-deadline press conference one week ago, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin was upset that Lindholm’s name surfaced publicly. “I don't think that's the respect or integrity of the league,” Allvin said. “Sometimes it's just very unfortunate it is a guessing game. Yeah, it's not fair.” Both Allvin and coach Rick Tocchet spoke with Lindholm to reassure him he was part of the Canucks’ playoff plans. Lindholm is an impending unrestricted free agent whose final season under contract has been tumultuous and disappointing. “I always pride myself on being honest with the player,” Tocchet told Sportsnet on Friday. “Patrik, we have a great relationship, and he never sat me down and said we were shopping him. Now, whether a team inquired about him or something, that's a whole different animal. I think that's really what it came down to. So I just really tried to be honest with Lindy. He's trying to be a pro. But I'll tell you, it can affect players.” At least that uncertainty has passed, and Lindholm knows he’ll be finishing his contract with the Canucks and going to the Stanley Cup playoffs next month.

Popular Post WiDeN Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 22 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: Miller needs to set the tone again with a goal. Pettersson needs to take some charge of the situation now. Petterson needs to be far more direct. He is always looking for the cheeky skill play, which is great when it works, but it's often how they lose possession. He needs to make the high percentage play, which is often less sexy. It looks to me like he gets frustrated after a couple plays get interrupted, then he hangs his head as he heads back to the bench. After that he's more likely to try to beat three players by himself, which doesn't usually turn out well. At the beginning of the year he wasn't having these problems, because he was playing the system better. I know he and Garland haven't paired well in the past, but I've often wondered what it would look like with Garland and Joshua on Petey's wings. Anyway, I'm no hockey guru, so what do I know. I just hope he finds his game before playoffs. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd literally have to murder someone on the ice to warrant a penalty if you were already down a man. Now 5 on 3s are used as tools by the refs to "manage" (control and decide the outcome of games.) I have no faith in the NHLs officiating but the Canucks need to dig deep, push back way harder. They did the one thing they couldn't do against the Avs and that was to sit back. When they get up on teams they must continue to push forward, they can't pull their foot off the gas. Friendly reminder that both these calls where calls that put the opposition on a 5 on 3 PP. The refs know these aren't penalties, and they'd never be called if the score was tied. The Oscar goes to... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back I thought Nashville would be the easiest matchup, they've definitely changed my mind None of Vegas, Nashville, LA, or Edmonton are appealing St. Louis wouldn't worry me as much, neither would Minnesota, but I'd be a bit surprised to see either claw their way in Whoever comes out of the central will be a monster, none of Dallas, Colorado, or Winnipeg would be fun to match up against in a seven game series Edited March 16 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
