Fins baby!!

Petey our for week or so! Sprain

Going into the game, knowing Petterson was out and having been shut out in 3 of 4 games, I knew the Canucks would struggle on offence. I gave them a chance with newly-acquired third string goalie Hutchinson starting and with how the Leafs have played recently. While the score was 5-0, I did see some positives from the Canucks. I was impressed by the D's ability to collapse to the front of the net, poke the puck, and prevent the cross pass in the slot. I was getting frustrated watching Kapanen, Kadri, etc attmept cute plays only to have the puck checked away. I was kinda hoping to see Demko play even though Markstrom wasn't bad.

Lol... this thread has basically been the Petterrson thread for some while now.
Since he didn't play today.......

I only watched the first 2 periods (had to go after the 2nd), but Hutton-Gudbranson was getting fucking torched and Pouliot-Stecher wasn't faring much better.

Cherry said he'd have been out of the AHL if he got walked like Pouliot did. He was better in the 2nd period, but not a lot better.

I see Gudbranson ended up a -5, Hutton a -4. Not surprising, honestly.

Edler-Tanev looked like their usual competent selves.

I wish juice the best of luck in broadcasting. not like he needs it, cuz the dudes a natural at it

Always enjoyed Bieksa as a Canuck. Too bad we couldn't enlist him for some help on our D. God knows we need it.

Don Cherry is still saying Bieksa's name wrong.

"Bi-esk-a". :lawl:

Superman punched Kassian in an elevator in Vancouver!! Hahahaha man I want to hear the rest of that story!

Bieksa needs to superman punch Gudbranson and teach him how to actually be tough

I'm still admiring the hit he made in the Spengler Cup. That was fantastic

You'd have to think a 37-year-old Bieksa that hadn't played organized hockey until the Spengler Cup this season is, at best, a marginal upgrade on our bottom pairing.

What we really need are two more legit top 4 dmen. Bieksa ain't it at this point in his career.

He's been doing that since Bieksa entered the league.

Don Cherry
"Milan Lu-sick"
"Kevin Bi-esk-a"
"Roberto Lu-long-go"
"Henrik and Daniel Sundin"

It was kind of telling the other night, Ron MacLean said “Bieska” and “Lulongo” during HNIC which seemed to me like he was calling out Grapes for intentionally mispronouncing them both. Which he would. He’s a character and he knows it. His shtick has worked well for his career so why stop now.

Since this is a petey thread.

This is pretty cool. lol and he's skating tmrw.

Have to be careful with that as some guys like Dustin Brown or Ryan Kesler will just go right through him.

excellent.....

This distillery called High Bank is offering Panarin free vodka for life if he re-signs with Columbus. The Russian sniper is a free agent this summer.



Free booze for Panarin if he stays with the Blue Jackets. :awwyeah:

The vodka shots might make Torts’ tirades more tolerable for Panarin. LUL

Some shit went down after Bobrovsky got pulled last game: https://theathletic.com/760270/2019/...-in-tampa-bay/

Going to the game tonight for "Star Wars" night.. Interesting to see what its all about

Potentially a fitting theme: like a shitty prequel to something great to eventually come.

I'm not convinced this guy is worth all the hype. Whoever signs him will probably regret it.

Anyone else getting an aweful strobe effect for this game on SN 22? Buddy asked me to check since he is having the same issue.

Yep im getting it as well on shaw
