to be fair, both teams absolutely failed on the PP tonight lol.

Friedman mentioned rumours during one of the intermissions last night in the Canucks vs Calgary game about New Jersey showing interest in acquiring Garland.

Can we get another Hughes from NJ out of it?

Trade for Petey? Assuming he did sign with Canucks long term it will be roughly that same amount. Maybe little less than Jack Hughes tho.

Not sure why NJ would be looking to trade for Garland right now, they're even lower standing then we are. At best, it would be after the season is over.

But if all the rumors are true, or at least give the indication that the players are available, then maybe we're looking to tank for the remainder of the season.

If the teammates felt that strongly for their Jacob, maybe they should all walk out on the team and force the team to take back releasing Jacob.
Making a public statement in this case doesn't affect them. Walking out on the team does.

But you missed one of the most important things they said.
The players feel empathy now and learned from the experience why Subban reacted the way he did.

In this case, if you read between the lines, no it was not overblown. If things didn't happen the way it did, Jacob would continue to go around making the strong man gesture to other people of color and not think anything of it.

Canucks are flying around this game! Chicago is totally overwhelmed

At least in the 3rd I just started watching

God Hughes is fun to watch, he seems to have teleport abilities

Soft goaltending there

BRUCE THERE IT IS :alonehappy:

I wonder why Juulsen is in over Rathbone...

Demko on fire already

WOW what a turnover by the Preds and the CANUCKS STRIKE!

Under Greene it would have been a 2 on 1 dump and chase KEKW

Canucks fall asleep, let 2 goals in, crowd starts going insane, then boom, tie game on a fluttering shot from the blue line that bounced off a body KEKW

boo-urns

Painful to watch

:damn:

She was a Video Coach for the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL and for Hockey Canada, a writer for The Athletic, an Analyst for the New Jersey Devils hockey operations department, and recently completed her master's of science in sport science and analytics at York University. She wrote her thesis while serving as the Director of Advanced Performance for York's varsity hockey teams and working as a Senior Analyst for the Bank of Montreal. She joins the Canucks and their growing analytics department.

Regardless of her qualifications, this is the quote that won me over:

So you just have to say something witty against Benning and you get a job here at Canucks?

Guess that explains why there are so many new hires and candidates

I hope she works out, I been listening to some of her podcast and stuff… she comes across as very smart but also extremely / annoyingly “know it all” and borderline cocky, which shouldn’t surprise me given other conversations I’ve had these days with similarly aged people.

She also trashed the entire Canucks d-corps outside of Hughes so I’m sure they’re happy to know she’s here hahaha

Analytics to me is the difference between classroom and real life. Someone who can write an A+ report in Engineering class at UBC might know dick all when it comes to working in the real life with consultants, architects, client, etc.

I don't know about NHL, but analytics started making a huge splash in the NFL over the last 5-7 years, led by Baltimore, KC, New England and SF. It's become more refined over the years and is pretty fascinating to look into. Looking at those teams over the last 5-7 years, I think you can say it's become a pretty important part of the game.

TV announcers and twitter experts think that "analytics = going for it on 4th down" but it's not just that.

If Rutherford saw success with it in Pittsburgh and wants to bring it to Vancouver, I am pretty excited about that.

People will certainly try to trash this person, for reasons.

I think analytics is hyper important for teams especially in evaluating players… would have saved us from a host of bad signings

Athletes like Evander Kane and Antonio Brown would be off the analytic charts.
