I think Willie has to coach better regarding the 3 on 3. Paul Maurice has Ehlers out there all the time during OT, as do other coaches when it comes to youth and speed. 3 on 3 is essentially a skills competition, the sooner Desjardins realizes that he'll stop putting Suter and Burrows out there.

Both effective players but not highly skilled.

Very true.

Hutton - McCann - Hansen would be a good start for 3/3. Not that Hansen is highly skilled but the speed and ice coverage...

Could you imagine Bure out there for 3 on 3
- LeftCoaster

That guy would still leave players in the dust today. Could not believe that 4 step speed...unreal

Sedins are slower now and truthfully not scoring a lot. Not a good formula for 3 on 3

True story today.

I was cleaning my fathers house today getting ready for the move tomorrow and was thinking to myself " wouldn't it be something if we found a hundred or two hundred in a pocket of a jacket or a drawer". Literally two minutes later the wife yells look at this I just found a hundred dollar bill. It was like my father was looking down and said here is a hundred for dinner tonight , for clearing the house

Oh yeah we can't talk religion on here , I forgot.

If they have offensive zone time it's fine but as soon as the puck is turned over going the other way we are screwed. The Sedins just don't have a 200' game.

Personally I would start with Hutton McCann and maybe Hansen/Sutter THEN follow up with a Sedin/Vrbata/Edler. Horvat should go with a Sedin and a Dman for 3/3. At least with Horvat there is some defensive capability coming back.

Baertchi has the skill for 3/3 but does he have the rest?

I think living in the East would drive me crazy. They start their night at 8 pm. Usually by that time I have watched a game already or seen my favourite tv shows. They need to stay up until 1 to watch a double header.

Craziest ass drivers I ever seen also . It is nothing for them to drive through a red light. In two days we have witnessed 2 accidents and about 4 other near misses

Even Naslund, Bertuzzi and Jovo would be fun to watch 3 on 3

Ya I like that combo. Jovo was great in clutch situations

Hansen and Bo , JV and McCann

Don't forget Hutton.

Our top line when the twins leave will be LUcic Johansen and Benn

Can't wait to see the canuck become a one line team like 06-07 lightning .

When my Grandpa died, my mom found a total of over $5,000 in change around the house. that's not counting bills and old out of circulation money.

The skill level in Vancouver runs very thick. There is no shortage of talent on this roster for at least two more decades

haha first thing i thought of after they brought in torts was sweet free draft pick and the second was like hopefully johansen refuses to resign and comes to the nucks

We were a one line team under Torts and I think it was Santorelli-Kassian-?

Don't worry...you'll get the jist of what I'm sayin' by the end of your season.

Did he live at the Mint?

I'd send out 3 forwards, with speed and defensive awareness. Sutter - Hansen - Higgins maybe

Could you imagine Bure out there for 3 on 3
- LeftCoaster

Not sure if any other player ever would have dominated a 3 on 3 like Bure guy had crazy wheels

he is still rfa after his deal. cbj canforce him to stay if they want.

- VANTEL

He had change in jars all over the place, and the currency not in circulation was from russia. It was from late 1800's early 1900's or something and it was from the regime that lost the fight for control of the country at that time.

I think he can be a RFA in two years? UFA in three

Dont you mean, Ryan can force another bridge deal.

If he hates torts enough, he would only stay for big bucks. even if only a 2 year deal, i could see him wanting at least 8mil a season from them.
