Another defensive tight checking game. They pulled it off again. But thought Lou was big tonight and Nucks could have had more based on chances.

PP still a no go. Funny Garret brought up Subban saying why not give him a try. Doesn't he know WD is not in the try league.

Well the points still coming and the bubble in standstill.

Who did Garrett say to sit?

I'm drinking a lot of good beer tonight. I might propose to tumbleweed.

Guess he was thinking of Biega. Maybe he forgot to count the 3 more games Biegs needs to qualify for Vegas.

or WD won't bump Biega when ahead of him on our depth chart also.
Sticks to his guns & fine with me. Aka a call up who waits his chance.

This just in....

Sbisa straight up for Duchesne
- Nighthawk

They need a LD more so he matches but doesn't have the cache to land Dutch.
Waits for laughs.

Would be a top 4 for them. Waits for laughs or applause.

Wish they'd give up Jost for Sbisa +? BB would like that. Be able to come up together maybe. Okay dreaming over.

Hank got the 1K with Jager there too as 1K almost 2K guy. Now that's another rarity too. Lots of angles to this moment in Canuck lore.

how was the game? was at giants game tonight, ronning had a good game tonight, showed nice finish.

Historic. Look back a few pages. Thanks for Giant update. Good for little R.

Panthers $9.73m cap space
LTIR only applies to this season.
- Nighthawk

Not sure FLA. has put players on LTIR yet. Also Canucks can put DD & EG on LTIR if we need some space.
Never once have I heard this from Benning bashers, all they see is how close to cap we appear to be.

Til we r in a position to do something serious JB is going about biz.
Jumping on him really is premature & sign of impatience.

Year 1 was a free pass & we made the playoffs unexpectedly.
Year 2 one to forget lol
Year 3 can go 2 ways...
Miss the PO's maybe trade if any good offer & draft & stay the course
Make the PO's & get the kids as much valuable experience as possible
Either way it goes we need to continue to see good signs the last 1/2 of the season.

Cap space going forward is in great shape.

a WC spot could come down to games 81 & 82 vs the Oilers.
Now thats something that for years would not be worth mentioning.

So I guess once Biega gets his 3 games, we can forget about sending him down to Utica. He won't get through waivers once he qualifies. He's here for the rest of the season.

Which means we will probably have to move a D once everyones healthy....IF our D is ever healthy. Or send Stetcher down? TDL is in 5ish weeks. Will Guddy be back by then?

They will probably move a D rather than send down Stetcher.

Despite all the winning we are still only 6 points from 28th. Played way more games than a lot of teams. Top 3 pick is still in reach.

There's people that are glass half full and glass half empty. You're the person that has just taken the glass and poured the water out of it and said (frank) you.

2 points out of 11th in the league

Canucks have given up more than 2 goals in a game twice this month, also two shutouts this month. Fuken Megna

Gudbrandson still won't be back. I think he is gone for the rest of the year

Will Lockwood Developing

Jeremy Davis (Canucks Army) — Canucks Army Prospect Rankings #8: Will Lockwood

The skepticism put forth by fans and bloggers was largely due to [Lockwood’s] poor numbers in his draft season, particularly against USHL competition. Now, we all know that numbers don’t tell the whole story, but three goals in 20 games against your peers is a pretty big red flag.

Lockwood spent that season with the Under-18 team of the U.S. National Team Development Program, a sort-of all-star squad of American born players that play exhibition matches against NCAA teams, international squads, as well as a circuit schedule through the USHL. Lockwood’s numbers against both USHL competition, and through his season with the NTDP as a whole produced zero successful matches within the pGPS model.

Halfway through his freshman year at college however, pGPS shines a more optimistic light on the Bloomfield Hills native.
When the Canucks picked Will Lockwood much earlier than he was expected to go off the board at the 2015 NHL Draft, I was surprised. But, I hadn’t seen Lockwood play, so I couldn’t make any judgements.

After reading scouting reports on the American winger, I actually started to get excited about him. A quick skater who plays a gritty game and has a nose for the net — a Jannik Hansen-type player. Sounds great!

The problem was, he hadn’t really scored much in his draft year, and models predicting NHL prospects’ success struggled to find similar players.

Half a year later, however, things are looking great for him. Lockwood has seven goals and 13 points in 19 games for the University of Michigan. At times, he is arguably his team’s best player.

I believe I'm called a realist. This team is not a playoff team, those thinking otherwise should be admitted to the psych ward.

Did you start Cam Ward last night?

We should trade Henrik while his stock is high.

I see it this way if we make the playoffs it is okay seeing how the West is very weak this year . If we get a top 10 draft pick that is okay also.

I am just enjoying the effort by the guys and let the chips fall where they may fall.
