i was really rooting for Mikheyev. His performance these playoffs and now being a healthy scratch in my opinion are going to make it close to impossible to trade.

 

i would be surprised if this happens this summer. How can we justify losing one of Lindholm, Joshua, Zadarov at his expense.

 

Maybe Utah wants him..

Utah is going to want to complete right away. They days of dumping cap there are over. San Jose or Chicago would be the targets.

one can wish

maybe Chicago if we add a 1st and a young promising player that's NHL ready...

 

Offtopic but with 50 million in cap space i think Sam Reinhert will go there.

I agree with the oiler analyst for once. Tonight is the Canucks game 7 if they want to make the next round. I can’t imagine the Canucks winning the next 2 in a row if they are down 3-2. So they better come out and play desperate for 60mins and not like so far in the playoff where they may have played a complete 60mjn effort once or twice

Minus Cole getting the nod over Juulsen, I like the changes. Cole is gassed.

 

Tossup I think. Love Juulsen's intensity, but he's been directly responsible for goals against in both games he's played (so has Cole, I know). Not his last chance, though--he's bound to draw in again this series or next.

I took a look at the buy out calculator too.  I highly doubt the Canucks want to have both OEL and Mik on the books, but if they did go that route next summer would be the time do it (2 years under 2 mill).

 

I wonder if he gets the tough love approach this summer like Boeser did, and with a healthy ACL works his ass off.  Or he just gets moved somehow someway….

 

Something to re-vist later for sure

not ideal for sure but carrying 4.75 in cap on the books for next 2 seasons to get no production out of it is a huge anchor especially at the expense of losing good productive players.

 

Mikheyev needs to step up big time. hope the canucks get into round 3 and he gets a chance to redeem himself

[stawns]

There's a lot of gatekeeping on this site when people try to have real, objective discussions etc.  but man, I see a lot of those people first in line to absolutely trash individual Canucks.  

 

I might criticize the play if the team, or even question a player or two, but I'd never just outright trash a player on the team I cheer for.

i just cant imagine management moving on from lindholm after these playoffs. hard to imagine them passing up on re-signing zadorov too. 

 

they paid a fortune for hronek, so i imagine he gets re-signed

 

all that said, we basically cant keep everyone we wanna keep without a mikheyev buyout. or maybe some trade wizardry. wonder if we can trick the islanders or senators again? both of them seem willing to be fleeced by us from time to time

he made one bad mistake; Cole is gassed and a comedy of errors. Juulsen's one mistake is coachable; a big hit isn't worth the risk.

Think you attach draft capital and move on. We have a number of UFAs that are carrying our team right now that need to be resigned. A 1st or a 2nd is a fair price to pay to be able to lock those guys up for the next few years. In addition, it could open some $ to sign a stop gap top 6 scorer until  Lekkermaki finds his wheels.

“Let’s Go Petey!” Clap, clap, clappity clap. 
 

 

Too much clap, clap for me.

I was a teenager in the sixties and the clap was not a good thing, but getting it had its moments.

 

[Nothing like later teens who had to get through herpes and AIDS; and this latest Monkey Pox shit looks extremely nasty too.]

 

Ah, the 60s & 70s: "Free Love", all the girls on The Pill, 20 cents/glass draft beer, acid, grass, hash, peyote, Richmond-airport pcsilly-shrooms, home-made hard apple cider on Cobble Hill, the Maple Bay Pub and beach, the Freaks vs the Cops Baseball Tournament in the Cowichan Valley, playing guitars and blowing harps on a Saturday in Pidgeon Park waiting for Chicago to play the Colosseum and sing, "Saturday, in the park..." cute 'chicks' everywhere, stick out your thumb = get a ride, meet new friends that way, etc, etc.

 

But for now, we're in The Playoffs again, and we're warmin' up the Tow Vehicle for The Bandwagon:

 

The "53" used to be for Captain Bo, but that page has turned; thank God (JR) & Jesus (PA) for the right decision.

Bo is No Mo, and now it is for Teddy th' Terror Blueger, Centreman of the Blue Dagger Line.

 

We're hitchin' up the bandwagon this now.

Please find/see @Vintage for Free Passes.

NFT!  No Fucking Trolls!  He knows who you are.

 All aboard!  Doesn't look like it, but there's lots of room and free Roger Neilson Towels.

No jumping off... you roadside litter losers.

 

The Playoffs Road Trip Bus is still roaring back from the slimy flatlands of dilbitten Alberta now that we've put a couple of the wheels that fell off back on.

She's Rick-Rypien-Ripping down out of the mountains as I type! 

And will be taking All and Sundry Back to the Black Hole of Canadian Provinces starting tomorrow morning.

Be there or be square; you're either on the bus, or you're off the bus.

Further!  Farther!  We. Just. Might. Go. All. The. Waaaaayyyy!

 

 

GO CANUCKS GO!!   STOMP ON THE TERROR!!

 

 

[Jaimito]

Look at who else is on that list.  

 

Bubble or no bubble, EP is struggling and Nux need him to get better for a successful long playoffs.

Anyone seen viewing party tickets for Saturday on sale yet ? Or if one is planned ?

They did just send an email out about additional tickets released for tonight's game tho.

Petey on the wing, love it.  Reminds me of his very first goal, gliding down the wing full speed and snipes it top corner in that Calgary game.

 

This was the smarter move. Takes some pressure off his shoulders and simplifies things for him from a role/position standpoint.

 

Good adapting by our coach.

I wouldn't say they paid a fortune to get Hronrk........a good price, yes, but not a fortune.  They'd easily recoup that when they moved him out, imo

[Rip The Mesh]

find the money!
