Brock says he's not coming back... losing him for nada
Alvin says he won't pick up Tocchet's option without an extension and chose the words "We want a coach who wants to be here" which isn't very flattering...
The turmoil on this team never stops.

During an interview.
Allvin said he wants EP40 to stay in Vancouver to do summer training. However he or the team can't force him to stay, if he wants to go back home to Sweden. Looks like good chance EP40 wont be traded. If he goes back home this summer, he should be traded.

You are only allowed to witness the team losing in the cup finals. This is the Canucks way.

I can't imagine there's many others as bad as the Canucks. If they are, they probably haven't been around for 55 years.

MAF is in the house ... but he's not starting. 
Minny needs every single point with just 3 pts ahead of the Lames.

What a damn cheap shot and dangerous punch from the Minnesota player on Forbert!
Both players are on the ice at the end of the fight.
That idiot keeps punching Forbert and puts his head into the ice!
Glad to see the refs throw the book at him. 5 minutes and game misconduct!

Ya, that was a cheap shot on Forbert. But the hit on Hughes was clean wasn't it?

Do you think the NBA Play in format (before the official playoff) would work in the NHL?
So it goes No. 7 & 8 play, winner advance. Loser plays the winner of No. 9 & 10.
More teams get a chance. Often 7, 8, 9, 10 and separated by like a couple of points. If it was in NHL, Canucks would get at least one 'playoff' game.

I believe they already discussed this amongst owners and bettman, there is no desire to change the current playoff format. Not saying it wouldn't work, just saying NHL doesn't even want to try lol.

I rather keep the existing format, instead of relying on one game to determine if they get into playoffs.
Teams get 82 games worth of chances during the regular season.

It would be exciting, but unlike basketball the chances for getting injuries are so much higher… 2 teams basically trying to kill each other for the privilege of moving on to a 4 round playoff journey of also killing each other.

I feel like 82 is already a lot of games to play before even making it to playoffs. The game is physical and played at high speeds. Just the wear and tear on players is rough.
It'd never happen cause of $$, but i'd like to see a reduction of games, like removing back to back games. Also, remove pre-season, and start the season a month earlier to spread out the games more. Heck, they could even throw in an extra week off for players somewhere in between.
If they were to do a play in format, I hope they reduce the number of season games for it, rather than add to it. But, I don't think the play in format is needed. The fact that there were 12 teams fighting for wild card spots in the last 10 games of the season shows how competitive it is. We don't have half the league riding out the season. The last 10 games were basically the play in for those teams.

Tocchet reports that Forbort has as broken orbital bone. NHL DoPS is a fucking joke.
