Or maybe just maybe we could put both bieksa and sbisa with a play it safe partner like Hamhuis or Corrado
- Bieksa#3

Sbisa will have to be given that treatment given his recent contract re-signing, but for Bieksa that ship has sailed man. He is absolutely past his best and is actually a detriment more often than he's a benefit. Asking a better defender to clean up his mishaps isn't the way forward. He needs to go for the best offer we can get for him.

Last year's coach played them too much
This year's coach doesn't play them enough.
What was the reason for AV I forget?
- VANTEL

ego, stupidity, stubbornness, narrow-mindedness or a combination of all four?

You can argue childishly all you want. But the sedins are both in the 100 range for forwards ice time in the playoffs. Right behind every teams tip 6 forwards.
When I went to school there was a significant gap between 16 min per night and 24 min per night.
Are the sedins perfect? Heavens no, but they are all we got.
- Bieksa#3

I am not being childish or blaming the Sedins. The Canucks problem is secondary talent. Not the Sedins and not the coaches ( all 3 of them)

Oh I'm not denying that. But just put our best foot forward. Put guys in a situation where they can suceed

Are you guys as nervous as I am tonight?

Also, why hasn't Kassian been playing?

What's a Kassian?

Yet the coach plays Higgins and bonino more then his top 10 scorers.
While there are plenty of issues, either the coach is a problem or every other coach in the sport is an idiot.

That is exactly the problem KB3 . After Sedins and Bo the talent level drops off very quickly

So you are blaming WD for not playing them enough , Torts played them in every situation last year , where did that get us.

I want Higgins gone more than anyone , but playing him three minutes more a game is not why we are losing again

and losing Burrows was also a bit set-back. He's even more valuable in the playoffs

Burrows definitely is a money and big game player.

Yetche plays Higgins and bonino more then the sedins and horvat

And Sbisa and bieksa almost as much as edler and tanev. If the talent level is so dropped off why are the lesser guys playing more?
Is Higgins and bonino that much better then twins or horvat or is coaching a major issue. Because its clearly one or the other

This is exactly what I meant by arguing childishly.

Classic. <<<<< empathic period

Don't worry, we'll ensure the Flames are Comfortably Dumb...er Numb and hit em with full force and wraith and fury!
- Zogg

Steps to flames success, 1-2-3-4-5 crush and then 79 gets back to the bench after his average 21 second shift. The result from then on is every Canuck player looking for a train before playing the puck. Byexca can cower and throw all the sucker punches he wants but, the end result will be the same. Tee time 8am Friday morning.

My God, it's glorious.

You can't have Edler and Tanev playing 40 minutes a night. Twins can not play 30 minutes.

You are right it is no use arguing . You think Willie is the reason we are losing even the the results have been constant since 2012. I think WD is doing fine. A few rookie mistakes, but I refuse to blame him for the results of this roster

Burrows definitely is a money and big game player.
- VANTEL

He also can come unraveled and take untimely penalties. I like Burrows but he's like Forest Gump's box of chocolates.

I wouldn't be against trading him

Friedman reporting the imminent hiring of Peter Chiarelli by the Oilers. Press conference tomorrow.

Doug Wilson staying on as GM for San Jose.

Yeah I'm waiting for the worms.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Jesus, I've just entered a youtube vortex of Pink Floyd videos.

Forgot how intense ‘The Trail’ and ‘In The Flesh’ was.

I wouldn't be against trading him
- VANTEL

I wonder what we'd get for him. He's such a polarizing figure that it's tough to get a pulse on his value in the trade market.

Wow Wislon is a shocker. I guess Big Joe is on his way out then

Good question. Would be very helpful to the Oilers

My God, it's glorious.

(frank) YEAH!!!!!

Watching This OHL Western Conference Finals.
