Verdict on the 5 Canada Junior players coming out Thursday. Any wagers?

Will Stan Bowman & Oilers finally be able to sign their goalie? Hart :lol

[spoon.ek9]

will they be outside the court room with papers in hand? :lol

All of them will get off with zero charges as they should and then the Oilers are going to sign Hart.

I thought they already got off? Isn't that the entire problem?

Dhali reporting that Canucks are still talking to Roslovic camp.

[RevYouUp]

McDavid and Leon showed up for a beer league game and lost 6-2 and didn’t score. Oilers should sign that goalie

https://youtu.be/ofRPmo8KcVk

Yes, they weren’t trying but still lol

[whitev70r]

^ that's cuz Skinner also showed up and was in goal for Team McDavid and Drai.

[teggy604]

I'd say the team passing is pretty good. Top tier beer league are usually ex pros anyways or played high level competitive hockey. It's not like they were playing a Tier E beer league team. lol.

[Gumby]

It’s crazy how McDavid and Draisaitl, even when they’re not trying, can easily keep up with a bunch of decent beer leaguers! They probably barely broke a sweat and could have been out there the whole game.

[whitev70r]

As someone suggested, all 5 players found not guilty. FWIW

They can all join Stan Bowman and the Oilers now.

Adam Foote, coach of Canucks is relieved.

Interesting ... NHL statement for now:

NHL says five players acquitted of sexual assault ineligible to play
https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/nhl-says-five-players-acquitted-of-sexual-assault-ineligible-to-play-1.2338930

The NHLPA says the five players acquitted of sexual assault in the high-profile London, Ont., trial should be allowed to resume their NHL careers after the league stated they would be ineligible to play while it reviews the judge's findings.

Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote — members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team — were found not guilty of all charges in an encounter with a woman at a London, Ont., hotel room seven years ago, Ontario Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia ruled Thursday.

The NHL said in a statement hours after the decision that the allegations in the case were disturbing, even if not determined criminal. The league also called the behaviour at issue "unacceptable."

[bobbinka]

Stan bowman in shambles

[snowball]

I think a couple of them will be cleared to play eventually... However, the 3 main guys... holy perverts, batman.

typical influencer chick moving through celebrities, looks like she used to date one of the chainsmoker guys?

[pastarocket]

Speaking of Petey, this article mentions the "revenge" that Petey wants to show in his game for the upcoming season:


https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/its-revenge-canucks-pettersson-eager-to-attack-2024-25-season/


"I know what I'm capable of," Pettersson said on Wednesday at Sweden's orientation camp for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, according to NHL.com's Peter Ekholm. "Actually, I haven't thought about it, but for myself it's revenge. I'm not happy with last season."

If Pettersson's definition of revenge is playing at the level he's shown he's capable of, Vancouver gets its star centre back — the one who posted 102 points in 2022–23 and 89 in 2023–24. Part of that return involves getting stronger.

"I've put on some (muscle)," Pettersson said. "It's always about building your base strength, to get quicker on the ice. To gain a few pounds, get stronger in general, that's always the goal. But for me it's a bonus to gain a few pounds.

With that being said, the 26-year-old also knows that returning to form on the ice is only part of the equation and that how he handles himself off it is just as important.

"... I'm just trying to be a good teammate and help out with what I can help them with," Pettersson said of his younger teammates. "I'm trying to lead by example. But I know I can become a better leader, in that aspect. I'm trying my best, but also trying to get better."

Pettersson dealt with knee tendinitis last off-season that lingered throughout the year and missed the final 12 games with an oblique injury.

"I'm learning from what happened last year to be a more mature player going into this season," he said.

[teggy604]

EP40 will 100 percent bounce back this year assuming no season ending injury. There is no way he can hit lower than 45 points lol.


https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/single-game-canucks-tickets-on-sale-and-some-games-start-at-250/

Woot! ticket prices increase. What else is new....

[whitev70r]

Oh yah you totally called it dude!!!!!

Is that premonition suppose to be related to ONE dude being signed, who just happens to be gay?

He's not even signed to the oilers, he's signed to their AHL team and honestly with his numbers unless something majorly changes he's not going to play in the NHL, lots of players do not and are just AHL fillers.

All your incel buddies on X are just super fucking wound about it because he's gay and they dared to mention it wooooo yah read the comments all the "better keep his hand on his own stick" and "watch out if he checks you from behind" comments. So edgy and witty!

You know sometimes you can actually be smart dude, but you choose to be a fuckin retard way too often.

Prokop might not be a NHL calibre hockey player when it comes down to it, but getting drafted and coming out in that sport with how toxic it is, is way braver and more accomplished than any single fucking thing you've ever done with your life.

[Jason00S2000]

How full of anti-gay rhetoric is your feed on a daily basis?

Didn't you use to stare at dicks all day for work?

In my line of work I've met so many different people, modern day "gayness" is just a political identity, everyone openly "queer" is part of a greater political movement and you either have to 100% support everything every other queer does, or you're not in the club.

There are things like "Navy gay" and other colloquial terms for men and women who, in absence of the opposite sex, will go gay or do gay-for-pay like Peter North. Porn is just pro-wrestling with their clothes off.

Literally NOBODY cares what people's sex lives are, however, "queer" people have tied in sexuality with being the 5th column of woke soldiers for the establishment. Believe me, they tried this in the porn industry already, wokeness has mostly been shut the fuck down in adult, but believe me, they tried so hard!

Queers are huge authoritarians because they need to be bullied and aren't getting bullied. They were also extreme nazis when it came to masks and clot shots.

Nobody cares hey? Have you ever seen the open hate they get in their daily lives? It's still like that for them, getting screamed at walking around holding hands, etc.

Maybe it has to swing hard the other way before it finally settles one day in a centre where everyone can just be whoever they are and nobody cares or needs to care anymore.

Your online friends (and maybe you?) are really insecure about it though, can't handle anyone else being the centre of any sort of attention even if it's temporary.

You've literally got the USA talking about getting rid of gay marriage and floating the idea of making homosexuality illegal again... but I guess because you say it's normalized and doesn't need any change to occur it's all good right?

Yah keep posting your irrelevant bullshit X samples of crazy people from the left, anyone can do the same from the right too. Extremes aren't good for anyone we already established that if you're over the mental age of 12.

:lol:lol:lol

Being queer is an advantage in modern Canadian society. You have massive supports, everyone in the arts are your people, and every institution is openly VERY pro-queer. That's queer as in politically gay. Nobody cares who anyone fucks, even the Alberta health services department will hire you back if you've been convicted of banging kids.

Have you ever been to art shows? Ever made art yourself and been a part of an artistic community?

Do you think I'd be invited to film some behind-the-scenes shit for gay friends if I was anti-gay? :lol:lol:lol

This video was filmed 13 years ago, when wokeness was JUST starting to really take off. Hipsters, back then, were accepting of everyone as long as you weren't bothering people. Everyone just wanted to look good and feel cool.... ain't like that anymore. Everyone now has to be on the same page about EVERYTHING political, it's ridiculous.

Dude, the Raiders just released one of their best players because of his gay jokes.

Justin Davis (former NHL player) wrote a book about his experiences in the hockey world, and all the hazing stuff. You think NFL players are doing stuff like tying a skate lace around your cock and having to walk around the locker room while guys pull on the lace?

I do agree that player culture can be different among sports leagues such as the NFL and NBA.

-just commenting that among pro athletes, whether they are black, white, etc, there can be a difference among athletes about the acceptance of gay people and gay culture.

It sounds like player culture in the NFL is quite different from the NBA.

but yes hockey (junior teams) do have a reputation for some over the top hazzing

[mikemhg]

Atlanta is the gayest city with a black demo in America, those guys running around in dresses aren't playing football.

If you have any black friends, try playing tickle dick or anything even remotely gay as a joke with them as you could with a white buddy.

Trust me you'll see a very different reaction between the two.

Straight up the African American community due to its Christian/conservative nature has a real problem with bigotry towards gay people. It's so bad that a poll was recently done regarding Democratic Presidential nominees with Pete Buttigieg getting a whopping 0% support from blacks. You don't need to guess why.

League news about implementation of a playoff salary cap for the 2026-2027 post season:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/report-nhl-to-implement-playoff-salary-cap-this-season/

Long-term injured reserve ploys are no more.

The NHL and NHLPA agreed to bump up the implementation of a playoff salary cap in time for the 2026 post-season, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported on Tuesday.


A post-season salary cap was agreed upon as part of the latest collective bargaining agreement, which is set to kick in for the 2026-27 season.

However, the sides came together to enforce the salary cap immediately as part of a rolling enactment of some new rules.

In the past, teams have stashed players with significant injuries on LTIR until Game 1 of the playoffs when the cap disappeared. The move raised suspicion as it allowed teams to backfill that player's salary in a trade, while the player often seemed to return right in time for the post-season.

Last season, with Matthew Tkachuk and his $9.5 million cap hit on LTIR, the Florida Panthers added defenceman Seth Jones and forward Brad Marchand ahead of the trade deadline. Tkachuk returned for Game 1 of the first round.

The new rule requires playoff teams to dress a lineup of players whose salaries combined do not surpass the cap for each playoff game. Players who are injured or healthy scratches do not count against the playoff cap.

[spoon.ek9]

ok good, initially we were going to get one last season of LTIR bullshit lol

[bobbinka]

this new rule will save lives. the rate of recovery from injuries will now skyrocket during the season.

[bobbinka]

oh wow, changes being implemented this year (1 year early)

-no double retention on trades
-no more accrued cap
-trading for players mid season does not pro-rate their cap anymore
-no more paper transactions, players must be physically sent to the AHL team
-max LTIR benefit is $3.8 mil, regardless of the player's cap hit (i think?)

along with the playoff salary cap, i think we're going to see a lot less trades.

[68style]

Wow Canucks looking like geniuses for once having their AHL team an hour away for that paper transactions rule.

[spoon.ek9]

they also accrued all that cap space and did.... absolutely butt fuck nothing with it :lol

new rule means players sent down actually have to play at least one game before being sent back up. either way, having them close by in abby is a win.

[bobbinka]

they also accrued all that cap space and did.... absolutely butt fuck nothing with it :lol


I think it saved Aquaman some real salary dollars

[spoon.ek9]

yeah but who gives a shit about him?

[murd0c]

I'm ok with them doing shit with the space, no one expected the season to be such a dumpster fire. It would of been great if it was a good season but why make moves when there is no point.

[keifun]

Carey Price traded to SJ. Salary dump for MTL

[bobbinka]

with these new rules preventing teams from stacking up for the playoffs, i think it'll be Florida vs Edmonton finals again.... with Edmonton losing the 3rd time, and then McDavid taking his talents to Florida as a free agent afterwards :lol

[pastarocket]

Wow, Petey bulked up during the offseason.

He told reporters that he added six kilos (13 pounds) of muscle during the summer.

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver

-from the article:

Pettersson had a good summer in the gym, too.

The 6-foot-2 centre has bulked up.

“I added six kilos (13.2 pounds) of weight,” Pettersson revealed. “I just tried to add some muscle. Be ready to be myself again out there, and I feel confident that I will.”

“I feel good. I had a long summer of training.”

Pettersson was officially listed at 176 pounds last season, meaning he likely weighs around 190 pounds now. That’s nearly 30 pounds heavier than when he was drafted in 2017.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[68style]

I thought the most someone can reasonably expect to gain a month (of muscle) was 1-2lbs... how the fuck he put on 13lbs in 3 months?

[spoon.ek9]

As a pro athlete with millions in the bank, I imagine he had all the resources necessary to accomplish it. Total focus for 3 months on just training. All meals prepared professionally (or by his wife, who's apparently posting lots about cooking). If I had zero other obligations other than training for that long, I'd put on some muscle too lol.

Eat, train, shit, sleep, repeat.

[MarkyMark]

No one pops for roids in the NHL ever so maybe he did a cheeky little cycle over the summer

[Mr.Money]

hes still in his 20's too...peak Testosterone.

i'm sure a lot of you remember being 20 & getting 4 hours sleep feeling fully rested. FeelsGoodMan.
fuck around and try that over 30 you'll be feeling hungover & needing a nap.

[mikemhg]

It's rampant in professional sports that athletes are taking something, at the very least in the offseason. You'd be nuts to think a player being paid millions isn't looking to utilize using a chemical advantage, especially given their access to these boutique compounds that are available. These guys aren't taking Dbol and Tren :lol

For Petey, 13lbs isn't outlandish. I doubt he's put on 13lbs of pure muscle, almost guaranteed a portion of that weight is fat/water. For someone of his height and frame, and likely minimal heavy weight training in his career prior, 13lbs would be pretty easy to pack on in 3 months. Newbie gains are always great.

It's not like he's Aaron Donald, a guy who is maxed out for his frame, and where putting on 13lbs of muscle would be pretty insane.

[pastarocket]

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sources-nhl-suspends-players-acquitted-in-2018-sexual-assault-trial-until-dec-1/

The NHL and NHLPA have agreed that the five players acquitted in the 2018 London sexual assault trial will be suspended until Dec. 1, although they will have the opportunity to sign with NHL teams as soon as Oct. 15, Sportsnet has learned.

According to multiple sources, part of the agreement is that the players have given up their right to appeal.


There is precedent for this. Without an agreement, commissioner Gary Bettman would need to hold a hearing and make a ruling. If the union or players disagreed, everyone risked the possibility of an uncertain and/or lengthy arbitration grievance process. Shane Pinto’s 41-game suspension in 2023 for violating the league's sports wagering policy went through a similar negotiation.

Michael McLeod had been charged with one count of sexual assault, plus one count of being a party to the offences. Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart were each charged with one count of sexual assault. All pleaded not guilty to their charges when the trial opened in April.

The five players were acquitted of all charges on July 24 by Justice Maria Carroccia after a two-month trial in London, Ont.

After the verdict, the league stated the players — none of whom have contracts with NHL teams — weren’t eligible to play while it reviewed the judge's findings. Previously, the NHL had said it would let the charges go through the legal system before deciding about the players’ eligibility.

[bobbinka]

so basically Carter Hart gets 3 months of off-season training to get into shape before playing for Edmonton...

[Razor Ramon HG]

To the surprise of no one, lmao

[68style]

Dube back to flames?

I think Ottawa still has the rights to Formenton?

The rest of them aren’t good enough to take the hit for.

He is. We've also got Willander, Mancini and D-Petey who are expected to take big minutes and show management what they bring to the table. Could be interesting!

Apparently the game will be streamed on Canucks' website.

[spoon.ek9]

So much for minor injury, Hogs had surgery and is out 8-10 weeks now

[pastarocket]

Biggest contract in NHL history:

The Minnesota Wild signed star left wing Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year, $136-million extension on Tuesday, giving him the richest contract in NHL history.

Kaprizov will count $17 million against the salary cap beginning next season. It's the highest annual average salary of any player since the league’s cap era began in 2005, surpassing Auston Matthews’ $13.25 million with Toronto. Alex Ovechkin’s 13-year, $124-million contract signed with Washington in 2008 was previously the highest total value.

[68style]

Lots of money for someone who hasn't won anything or been past a 2nd(?) round... not saying that is his fault exactly, but if you're doubling the $ to him the rest of the team sure isn't going to get any better.

[pastarocket]

It makes me wonder how big a contract extension in terms of annual salary that McDavid will get when he signs with the Coilers.

Kaprizov did squat for this Minnesota team.

McDavid helped the Coilers go to back to back Stanley Cup Finals. He is arguably the best player in the world based on his career stats and skillset.

[whitev70r]

^ yah, I'm not getting that signing at all. Going to be one of those that ruins it for every other team, they must hate Minny right now.

Minny just ensured that they won't come anywhere close to sniffing the SC.

[68style]

I did forget how much dead cap Minnesota has been dragging around for Parise and Suter… they still are for the next 3-4 seasons but at a much more playable $1.7M, it’s been in the teens in past years lol

They’ve still got $5M free this season.

Their goalies are extremely low cost right now. Boldy and Eriksson-Ek are cost controlled for the next 5 years too… could be worse!

[spoon.ek9]

does this mean fans can finally stop complaining about Petey's cap hit? lol

jk it's van, people will always complain no matter what :pokerface:

[bobbinka]

Kaprizov structure is truly one of a kind, per sources. He's getting 20% of $95.5M cap in salary/signing bonuses ($19.1M) his 1st 4 years. He has $1 million salaries in each of the 8 years...Full no-move clause

July 1 signing bonuses:
2026: $18.1M;
2027: $18.1M;
2028: $18.1M;
2029: $18.1M;
2030: $16M;
2031: $14.2M;
2032: $12.7M;
2033:$12.7M


Lol, wow

[spoon.ek9]

McDavid is gonna have to sign for $20M+ now

[68style]

That's CRAZY he hasn't done fuckin anything lol

$9M for a 40 point dman?? His %'s are not great either.

Well Hronek and Quinn are massive discounts now!

[teggy604]

Well. If Quinn does go to NJ how much is he going to get paid? $20M? Lol

[bobbinka]

It appears that Trevor Zegras feels the same way about Quinn Hughes as many Vancouver Canucks fans do. In a recent interview with ESPN, the Philadelphia Flyers forward spoke very highly of Vancouver's captain. Zegras knows plenty about Hughes, as not only is the 24-year-old friends with his brothers, but the two have gone head-to-head a handful of times over the past five years.

According to the article, Zegras said, "I never want to play Quinn ever again. He's the best hockey player of all-time." This was in response to the Flyers forward no longer having to be in the same division as Hughes. Zegras spent the first five years of his career in the Pacific Division with the Anaheim Ducks before being traded to Philadelphia this off-season.

:lol

[bobbinka]

$9x7 for Luke Hughes.

crazy that he's getting paid more than both his brothers, when he's accomplished less. they're really banking on him becoming as good as them.

[spoon.ek9]

all these new contracts are percentage wise based on the new salary cap. the numbers look wild to us but we're basing our opinions off of old average numbers. it's definitely a gamble but who knows, down the road it may look like an absolute steal just like when everyone thought the oilers were crazy for paying draisatl.

[whitev70r]

so ... where are all the Abby Canucks players who won the Calder Cup last year that are ready to come up to play in the NHL? Did a handful make it?

[68style]

Sasson, Bains, Raty, D-Petey, Mancini, Lekkerimaki, Willander and Tolopilo are all currently still with the team off the top of my head

[spoon.ek9]

baby canucks are making it difficult for management to send them back lol. what a thumping last night, 8-1 victory with 2 of those being shorties. Meaningless game, yes but Calgary did stomp on us 10-0 in 2023 pre-season.

[roastpuff]

Sasson, Bains, Raty, D-Petey, Mancini, Lekkerimaki, Willander and Tolopilo are all currently still with the team off the top of my head

You missed Linus Karlsson in that group

[68style]

Lek had an absolute laser tonight on his first goal, haven’t seen a Canuck shoot like that since early Petey

[bobbinka]

Lek should make it. Cootes is definitely making a case for himself.

[mikemhg]

Those 2 goals by Lek were lightening bolts. He needs to put on more size to be a full NHLer, but for now he'd be a great PP piece.

[spoon.ek9]

I'd like to see Cootes marinate for 1 season before coming up full time. Don't wanna rush the kid and risk injury/improper development. He has the tools to be a full timer it seems which is great because we need him badly lol.

[bobbinka]

but if he goes down, he has to go back to junior. i think he'll learn lots and develop with the big club. he's good defensively and with the other centers we have, i think there will be less pressure for him.

he just needs to grow into his body. at least with the big club, he'll have access to trainers, amenities and good diet.

they can have him, raty, and blueger rotate between 3/4C. it's only a matter of time before someone gets injured anyway.

also, we need him to develop a little quicker to show Quinn that we're building a good team so he'll sign an extension

[bobbinka]

Mancini and Willander down to Abby. So, D-petey and Forbort will be bottom pairing, and that Joseph guy will be #7 i guess

That leaves 1 more forward to be sent down between Cootes, Lekk, Bains, Raty, Karlsson. And then another to be sent down later when Hog returns.

[68style]

I think Cootes get his 9 games and then back to Junior.

It will be up to Bains and Karlsson to square off for that last spot, both are not waiver exempt. Raty is staying he’s been lights out since the end of last season onward, won 10/14 faceoffs last game too.

[spoon.ek9]

If it's between Bains and Karlsson, I keep Karlsson for that bottom 6 role.

[whitev70r]

McDavid signs a very cap friendly, discount of 2 yr extension at $12.5 M /AAV. Took even less money than what Draisaitl is making ($14M/yr). Kudos for taking one for the team. Crosby like leadership.

https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1975242303431405995

[supafamous]

Killer prove it deal for the Oilers - they better use that cap space smartly and get McDavid whatever he needs to win a couple cups.

[bobbinka]

That's insane, not even a penny increase.

[68style]

Very tidy business for McDavid... if he didn't sign and dragged it out through the season he risked alienating the fanbase against him and possibly leaving with no assets in return making enemies left and right within the org and Edmonton.

Now he's basically saying here's a massive fucking discount, if we don't win this year you can trade me for a low cap hit and a massive haul back in the 26-27 season and I leave town with everyone knowing I did whatever I could do to win here.

[spoon.ek9]

smart move by him and his agent for sure. quite impressed here. oilers either take this and win a damn cup or they look like fools and no one blames mcdavid for leaving!

[bobbinka]

let's see if they finally get a legit starting goalie

[punkwax]

let's see if they finally get a legit starting goalie

He’s basically paying for them to do exactly that with the discount contract extension he signed.

[bobbinka]

but it would be so funny if they didn't :)

[spoon.ek9]

I guess he'll get his $20M cap hit on the next one, eh?

[spoon.ek9]

For the trivia fans out there... Cootes in the first 18 year old to make the team out of camp since..... Peter Nedved.

61 games played, 10 goals and 6 assists but -21 on the year lol.

Cootes likely gets his 9 games then goes back to junior. Unless he REALLY impresses and makes it impossible to send him down. Could be an interesting development.

[68style]

Exciting! We don’t get many draft picks start on our team over the years.

[SkinnyPupp]

An 18 year old in the NHL sounds unserious unless he's an actual phenom

[spoon.ek9]

Valid criticism if you haven't seen any of his play in the pre-season. It's been pretty unanimous that this kid has NHL level skating and a 2-way game mature beyond his years. The one thing he lacks is physical size which will obviously take time for him to mature.

[supafamous]

I guess he'll get his $20M cap hit on the next one, eh?

He could basically demand whatever he wants especially if he has a cup or two under his belt but there's a realistic scenario that he goes down Crosby's path and gives the Oilers an ongoing discount so they can provide a strong team around him. Maybe not as big a discount as this contract though. Him on a discount, Leon, Bouch and a good goalie could basically makes them perennial contenders till he hits 35 or so.

[spoon.ek9]

much easier said than done though. they're going to have to give up some kind of assets to get a goalie. this new contract just makes it a bit easier to trade for a higher quality guy. plus, you know, nurse is still on the team :lol

[bobbinka]

Stuart Skinner is UFA after this season, so they could just give him $10mil

[whitev70r]

I wonder if this deal has an unspoken 'consult' or veto from McDavid. I mean hopefully, Coilers won't use that cap in stupid frivolous ways.

[Tim Budong]

He’s basically paying for them to do exactly that with the discount contract extension he signed.

too bad oilers took that money and gave walman a 7x7m extension.
giving the team around 800k to play with

they need to trade for a goalie now

I see that Hyman is on LTIR... i wonder if this is why it took a bit to get these deals done

[teggy604]

If oilers dont win the cup this year, Oilers should just sell the team.

They have been given every single hand out by the hockey gods. How many no 1 draft picks and now mc david giving them a massive discount.

[blkgsr]

is it possible/legal that the oilers have bonuses built into his contract to make up the "savings" on his cap savings that don't impact the cap?

they could be easy to reach to ensure he achieves them?

[winson604]

[westopher]

Don't forget they threw 10.5 at Bouchard as well lol
Bouchard looks like an oaf at times out there but every decent analyst says he's a top 10 defensemen if not top 5 in the NHL.

[supafamous]

Bouchard looks like an oaf at times out there but every decent analyst says he's a top 10 defensemen if not top 5 in the NHL.

And he's only 25 - if he can grow out of his brain farts that contract will be a bargain. The Athletic had him ranked in the 5-10 range for d-men already.

re: Walman - $7m in the new cap era doesn't seem that bad. I know very little about him but the analytics say this was a solid contract.

[spoon.ek9]

so, game 1 tonight. how are we sailing the 7 seas this year boys?

[68style]

My first week is already great for hockey watching Skinner lose Edmonton a game first game of the season hahaha wish they had panned to McDavid's face when that went in.

That said, Let's go Canucks!!! I'm really stoked on our D and hope Foote can overcome his obvious deficiencies as a player to be a great coach at this level (previous endeavors in the minors he did not fare well).

I think with only FAIR injuries, nothing too devastating or any massive drama this year, we are definitely at the very least a playoff team.

[spoon.ek9]

Center depth and who's going to pick up the scoring are the biggest concerns this year. If you look at last year's starting lineup you'll see how much has changed lol. I distinctly remember last year having huge concerns about our D but that feeling doesn't exist this year. Solid D pairings and depth for the inevitable injuries. As long as nothing catastrophic happens, I think we have a fair chance to make playoffs. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we miss again this year.

[unit]

im hoping for good things w/ the new coach.
it's too bad what happened with tocchet, i thought we really had a good thing 2 seasons ago when the team started turning around.

[spoon.ek9]

I think the Miller/Petey rift took more out of him than he let on. Also, I wouldn't be surprised that he was upset that Miller was the one shipped out instead of Petey.

If the pre-season was a sign of things to come, at least the offensive game will be more adaptable. Tocchet was really suffocating our offense with his rigid structure. It really reminded me of AV and his inability/unwillingness to adapt strategy and instead "stick to our game" even when it clearly wasn't working anymore.

[68style]

People already shitting on the Flyers for how few shots they're getting all pre-season hahaha Tocchet strikes again.

It didn't hit me how vastly improved our d-core is until I went back and took a look at last season's starting defence. 24-25 team was:

7 Soucy
17 Hronek
27 Forbort
43 Hughes
47 Juulsen
51 Friedman
57 Myers
73 Desharnais

Only half those players are even in the organization now and 3 of them were solid AHL dmen that didn't belong in a NHL starting lineup hahahaha it's crazy how bad that starting D was on a new season.

[spoon.ek9]

We couldn't land any RHD to save our lives last season. Now we have Mancini and Willander waiting in the wings.

[Gumby]

Conor Garland is listed as 5'10"? Maybe in skates! :lol

[spoon.ek9]

that's how their listed heights work lol. it includes their skates.

[whitev70r]

My first week is already great for hockey watching Skinner lose Edmonton a game first game of the season hahaha wish they had panned to McDavid's face when that went in.



:lol, just checked the final score of Edm vs. Cal game ... I saw it at 3-1 and thought the Oilers were purring along, unlike their usual slow starts of the hockey season, with new McDavid contract ... haha.

It is so frickin obvious that their weakest link is in goal. Why won't they do something to improve that position ??!!

Seems like a really nice guy in interviews too.. and he scored that first goal he barely celebrated he was looking back at the dude he smoked in the head with the puck wondering if he should go check on him.

[spoon.ek9]

You could see how laser focused Chytil was on the puck after it bounced off his head. One might say, on that play he was... on the Bahl.

It is a game of inches at times…

[teggy604]

No silver lining. EP40 played less mins than Sherwood. Lol. How is it your 1C guy being outplayed by a bottom 6 guy.

[spoon.ek9]

It felt like Sherwood was the only one playing last night. Wasn't just the top line, no one looked as good was Sherwood did for basically the entire game. Something is wrong and they better figure it out asap or trades are going to happen. I'd give them a fair shot, 10-15 games before changes happen.

Other than the Calgary game, we have looked awful.

They couldn't even find a trade in the last 4 months

[spoon.ek9]

Yeah, that's true. But management I feel is on a shorter leash than before. We're how many years into this group? 5? They're likely going to mortgage the future to try and keep their jobs a la Benning. Granted, they've turned a lot of things around for us and done a lot better. Things can't last like this forever. Eventually someone gets the axe.

[teggy604]

Hughes has been here 8yrs. Same with EP40. Boeser, Demko has been here 10 yrs.

[whitev70r]

Hughes is SO gone after this year. I mean it's early but this is not a contending team.

[bobbinka]

Cootes sent down

[spoon.ek9]

He's only 18, his time will come soon enough! Definitely earned his spot on opening roster but it should be a surprise to no one he's back in junior for now.

[bobbinka]

wish they gave him his 9 games and spread them out over a longer period with a scratch here and there. at least then he'll get to train with the team, learn from practices, attend team meetings. there's so much more to absorb just being in the environment.

[spoon.ek9]

I believe Sasson is being recalled and Blueger is close to returning to the line up. Having Cootes play top line minutes in all situations is what Foote determined would be the best course of action for his development. I see your point of course, but I think I agree with the coach here.

[68style]

At least we’re not the New York Rangers, shut out in all 3 games at home to start this season.

[spoon.ek9]

yeah, oh well. win is a win! he was guilty of doing too much on that play :badpokerface:

[teggy604]

Hopefully they keep Garland with EP40. They need someone that can carry the puck in with speed and win the battles along the boards.

As long as they don't go back to DeBrusk-EP40-Boeser.

[spoon.ek9]

Yes, I was saying that he needs someone to retrieve pucks because neither Boeser or Debrusk are strong at that. Hence, they just dumped and chased with no results. Initially I was thinking Kane-Petey-Sherwood but Garland has been their best winger so far this season.

[AzNightmare]

Garland pulling EP40 forward. Thats all I see in the highlights. lol.

I don't have time to watch full games of this tire fire of a team, but yes... those 10 min highlights that I do follow...

Garland's constantly generating offense in every game, multiple times.

He's more deserving of that 11.6m than EP40.

[mikemhg]

The Petey contract will go down as a big mistake for the team, another legacy of Jim Benning.

Petey is not a $12 million player.

[spoon.ek9]

I still have belief he can turn it around. I could be wrong, but I'll keep supporting the guy until I see absolute collapse. We're only a handful of games into the season guys and coming off of a strong win lol. I get it though, prior to last night I legit felt depressed about our team after just two listless losses.

So who's going to punch out Dickinson tonight?

Does Chief Kief have to do everything? He said they'd get him next year after the Chytil hit last season....

The Petey contract will go down as a big mistake for the team, another legacy of Jim Benning.

Petey is not a $12 million player.

? Benning drafted him, but it was Alvin that gave him the $11.6mil contract.

EP is currently the highest scoring player out of the entire 2017 draft year. He has more points in less games than 1st overall pick Nico Hischier. I'd say only Cale Makar would go 1st overall in a redraft, but at the time he was 4th overall, while EP was 5th. So, drafting wise, I dont think there's anything to blame Benning for.

The only thing i'd fault Alvin/Rutherford for is the full NMC. At the time, with Bo and JT at $8mil, EP had to be higher than that. So we could argue whether he should be only $10mil a year instead or whatever, but it's a small amount that wouldnt change the team.

Exact revenge by stealing Bedard

Maybe Kane will step up and take him out with a good, clean hit. Would go far for building up fan and teammate sentiment towards him.

The dude has 2 points in 5 games. He should be leading the Canucks in points.
