Bumped into Evander Kane today at the Cactus on Broadway & Granville.

*Cue the Kane to Vancouver rumours

[edit] I know he lives here

This draft is going to be great. No one knows who people are picking past 2nd overall

did you say anything to him?

CH28 can only communicate via GIFs

Even if you were to say something to him, he'll do this:

Canucks Pre-season schedule released:

9/16 - @ LA
9/17 - vs Las Vegas
9/20 - @ Cgy
9/21 - vs LA (Shanghai)
9/22 - @ Edm
9/23 - vs LA (Beijing)
9/28 - vs Cgy
9/30 - vs Edm

Going to be weird trying to evaluate talent between the 2 different teams that will be in China or local... and then only 2 games to mix anything up after the fact...

can't really evaluate talent in the pre season anyways

out of all those games i'd probably only watch the Vegas one just for the novelty of seeing a new team

NYR Buying out Girardi - Sportsnet

A bit bittersweet, Girardi was an absolute beast for NYR. Coming up undrafted through the ECHL to the AHL where he became an NHL regular and even an all-star in the 2011-2012 season. There is no doubt that the way he played has taken a toll on his body and the way the game is going he is not worth 5.5 for another 3 years.

If he would be willing to sign a reasonable contract I would love to see him on the Canucks. He could fill the void that was left with Bieksa went to Anaheim, and would likely be retiring around the time when the Canucks should be turning the corner as far as being a competitive NHL team goes.

still here... hopefully this season has some upside to it. fully expecting bottom basement again though lol.

Girardi had 3 years left, and now his cap hit for the next 6 years will be:

2.61 (save 2.89 m)
3.61 (save 1.89 m)
3.61 (save 1.89 m)
1.11 (+1.11 m)
1.11 (+1.11 m)
1.11 (+1.11 m)

The rangers save 2.89 this coming season then 1.89 for two seasons after before incurring a 1.1 mil penalty for 3 seasons.

Went into a home a few days ago and the kids there had black nights hats on, actually looked pretty nice

Imagine GK won the cup before we do. :ohgodwhy:

didn't know burger king had an nhl franchise too

^ Was thinking the name was Black Knights. GK hasn't settled in my mind yet lolol

Err..

Totally possible. In fact, with our luck its bound to happen!

This is where Tanev is heading if he doesn't start protecting himself better/putting himself in shooting lanes so much (not the buyout, but body giving out in his early 30s)

^The more incentive to trade him for high end prospects!

lol

i'd bet money Vegas will win a cup before the Canucks do lol

Interested to see where Girardi goes

columbus probably

holy fucking blockbuster

Holy shit. I think Habs underpaid. Sergachev + conditional 2nd for a 50 point winger?

wow that's a deal for the Habs big time
