Wasn't tonight like the worst case scenario? They didn't get the 2 points to keep #treadmillnation happen and they still got a point so #tanknation is not happy.

Pretty much. If current NHL trends keep up, we are going to relinquish our current draft position to the Maple Leafs, which would be extremely entertaining in its own right.

For those interested 2nd practice for Malaysian GP is live on TSN2 right now.

10th Place it is.....(frank) this team.

(frank) Higgins has been terrible the past couple of weeks! Think Mike Bernstein switched up he and David Booth's jock straps ?
- Chest Rockwell

Trade him instead of Hansen. I have a theory on Higgins struggle down the stretch and in past playoffs. He's a decent skater, has decent size and decent offensive skills, but nothing that stands out as above average. He usually outworks other players in all 3 zones and hustles to be a productive player, problem is that during this time of the year and in the playoffs everyone is going 110% all out so suddenly he looks average. Maybe I'm way off in my own little world here, but that's my theory.

Today was worst case scenario

Canucks OHL prospects in playoffs:


Gaunce: 5GP, 4G, 4A, 8P, +2, 6PIM

Fox: 5GP, 6G, 6A, 12P, +4, 6PIM

Horvat: 4GP, 4G, 4A, 8P, +5, 2PIM

Cassels: 4GP, 2G, 7A, 9P, +/-0, 6PIM


Nice to see these guys stepping up when it really matters.

Player A



Player B





Player A is Canucks prospect Brendan Gaunce and Player B is Hurricanes center Jordan Staal. Both were the same age during those 2 years, both big two-way centers. Not saying we should expect Gaunce to be the next J.Staal, but this comparison caught my attention, the numbers are very similar and both players play a similar game.

Horvat you knew was going to be impressive because of what he did last year, but cole cassals is something to watch for, definitely a steal in the 3rd round.

Fellow Buzzers, help your unbeloved chompsey here.......any tips for helping out your pregnant wife who can't sleep and is in pain?

You could talk to her. That would probably bore her to sleep....

She sounds kinda bi-polar and pessimistic to me, don't think she'll like what he has to say about that.

She's an all natural kinda gal so relaxants are out....

Melatonin is something the body produces naturally and does help with sleep. Exercise goes a long way to a good night sleep - water aerobics seems to be a hit with pregnant women. Yoga too. Definitely need to sleep on their side.

Sorry boss I haven't been a partner to a pregnancy yet but the above are some of the things I've heard have good effect.

Not quite good enough to win, not terrible enough to tank. Le sigh.

How advanced is she? If it's right near the end there is not much to be done. Pain is part of the process as the body prepares for birthing, not to mention carrying all the extra pounds. Although they sleep often, i don't think they ever really sleep well.

I think staal is a better skater than Gaunce though which should translate to the nhl better but still that is a great comparison. One thing you notice about Gaunce is that he finds open ice very well.

4 of the top 8 in ohl playoffs are canucks, can't complain about that!

His name is Staal and he's a big center that can skate?
Did you hear Gillis yesterday on 1040? He'd have taken staal there too.
