Ha yea I mean some teams are able to just transition nicely from one cup contending team into at least a playoff team again. I guess we were able to do so from the West Coast express era then into the Sedin era. Let's just not talk about 2011 again lol.

Tank for Bedard!

They should build a temple in the arena so players and fans can pray to the hockey gods before each game. The number of injuries every year is crazy.

I heard Ethan Bear is going to be traded soon, I so hope we don't have to give up too much to get him.

I don't know how good Bear is or isn't, but if we do get him, that'll be 3 small dmen. QH and Rathbone 5'10

Who would have ever thunk ... of all people, Phil Kessel as the new NHL Iron Man !! Kudos to you, way to rep the dad bod.

did you guys see the visitors "locker room" for Arizona this year? :rofl:

for the benefit of the Coyotes, that video was just curtains and more things will be installed. plus its only temp...

:lawl::lawl:

peewee hockey gets better locker rooms than curtains lol. every single community hockey rink too! i legitimately feel bad for the coyotes. this is ultra embarrassing.

anyways, who's ready for our first ever loss to the Kraken? :badpokerface:

Phil should also get the award for the most "Unathletic-looking Athletic Guy" in sports.

There's some hilarious articles about him coming out toward the end of his career... about him playing cards at the casino and just seems like an absolute legend of a guy lol

Love Phil

Funny stories about Phil "The Thrill" Kessel as a player.

The dude does not drink water. -only drinks Blue Powerade during games.

The narrative about Kessel when he played for the Maple Lafs is that he ate a hot dog every day.

Kessel drank Coke during the intermissions of games as per what Morgan Rielly mentions in the article below haha.

Then his good friend Blake Wheeler said that when Kessel played for Team USA in the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Kessel brought a pile of candy to eat as snacks.

Sour Patch Kids. :lawl:

The meals of a champion!

Kessel's diet of blue Powerade, Coke, hot dogs, and Sour Patch Kids is what I call the 7-11 diet haah. -not good food but tastes much better than the avocado ice cream and no dairy diet that another pro athlete follows. Tom Brady's TB12 diet. LUL

Kelser on the Spittin chicklets podcast talks about his trade and the supposed lies the team asked him to tell.

Great, more reasons for players to NOT want to play for Vancouver.

okay come on, of course there's a team of people telling them what to say. that's not even limited to the players, it applies to so many ppl in the organization. it just didnt work out in this case because someone leaked the info.

Its no secret he wanted out. Its no secret that he lied about not wanting out. Ill be shocked if anyone didnt already know this.

Wouldn't be surprised if Bo wants out of Vancouver. Hes been here almost a decade and no progress. Hes better off going south if he wants to win a cup. Both Willie and Luke got traded and it was the best thing that ever happened to them. 2 cup rings. Samething with Kadri, got traded to Avs from Toronto. 1 cup ring.

Demkos lets in two soft goals. :facepalm:

Well… a breakaway isn’t a soft goal.

But the first one wasn’t even on net…………

Koozer!

The first win of the season!! Finally! :lawl:

Bruce, there it is! The 600th career win for the coach!

Beat the Krakens by the skin of their teeth LUL

Hopefully getting the monkey off Bruce's back was the whole problem :badpokerface:

God damn, even the win ends with an injury. Hank and dank may really have to lace up soon
