I might have misunderstood what the wet blanket brigade is but as I understand it You have already begun so let’s what it is. Lindy at 2 mill, Lindy get tossed out of the circle and so on… This quote from you agreeing with Hockey Guy” agree with The Hockey Guy though. The Canucks are playing with house money in the Playoffs. Even the most staunch fan thought at best we might make the playoffs.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chon derry Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 1 hour ago, -dlc- said: What a turd statement. Making excuses for early (in the season) games because they were early on. Like they somehow didn't matter? They don't know if anyone remembers those games....well yes, we do. Even if for some reason the Oilers decide to block them out. Maybe that's part of their problem...they don't take this team seriously. They should. LOL they say this game was about getting ready for the playoffs. Yes, it certainly was. They "expect" to win....their superstar diva attitude is driving their bus. Where as, this team knows it'll be tough and is preparing for that. Those saying we didn't play well at first....the refs were eagle eyed at doling us penalties early on in periods which did give the Oilers some momentum. Too bad they did nothing with it. Funny that they got away with so many crosschecks and interference that the refs "missed" yet somehow the refs were on it from the puck drop when it worked in their favour. Timing is everything. Yes, the Oilers grabbed some momentum....but they didn't score on the pp so that's on them. This was a 4 pt game for Edm. Sure downplay the significance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimist Prime Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 11 hours ago, JeremyCuddles said: Lindholm is a stud. Wait, better check those +/- stats first. 3 points in his last four games, none of them on the power play and a combined plus1 over that stretch. 55% faceoff wins last night. I would say that is a good job. I am fine with him and hope we can re-sign him cheap. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Last Year: "Hey this Spencer Martin guy is a good back up goalie" Demko gets hurt and Martin has to play a bunch of games. " Hey this Martin guy sucks, try the other guy" This year " Hey this DeSmith guy is a great back up goalie" Demko gets hurt and DeSmith has to play a bunch of games. "HEy this DeSmith guy sucks, play the other guy" Other guy comes in, plays well for a few games, then tails off. "Hey Silov's not all that good, play DeSmith" DeSmith plays well for a few games after a few days rest. TLDR?-- back up goalies are back up goalies- usually because they can't play more than 3-4 games in a row, without starting to breakdown. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 1 hour ago, Ghostsof1915 said: I'm ok with Lindholm at $2-3 million. The more he plays here, the better I think he will get. He may never get to 82 points again (But we can hope). But 40-60 points a season is not out of the question. The proof will be the playoffs. But yes Mik I think that is the piece that has to be moved. Along with one of Cole or Myers. Lindholm tells you to pound sand before walking out of the room if that's your offer. He is worth considerably more than 3M and will be expecting considerably more. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they get played like starters, and then they breakdown again. Perhaps next year the team won't over play Demko, he doesn't get injured, and the back up goalies don't have to play too many games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 1 hour ago, Rocket-68 said: I believe and with good reason to that Lindholm will be resigned along with Big Zeke, Meyers and Honker. Throw Joshua into the mix as well. All depends on money and term of course but PA/JR seem to be wizards on most of their moves so far. Now if they could squeeze Honker under $6.75M AAV, Big Zeke under $5M, Dak under $2M and Lindholm with a 2-year "show me" contract (YES, I HEAR THE LAUGHTER FROM MY PLACE) then we would be brushing off a spot on sidewalk outside the arena for a statues in the future. I expect a player or two moving out or not being on the roster at all to add a bit more cap space, exciting times Canucks Nation, exciting times indeed. Hronek is going to be the interesting one. With Hanifin coming in at 7.35 x 8 I don't think the Canucks will go higher than that. Ideally they keep; Hronek Joshua Lindholm Zadorov Then see if we have enough to make Tanev work, or else Myers, but it'll be tight for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
