Columbus really isn't into this game at all... torts is gonna lose his poop

i am reading some anti-Sedin sentiment on the boards and hearing it on the Radio. I wonder if this is coming from the younger "Millennial" part of the fan base as I see the Sedins as carrying us ever since the West Coast Express moved on. Do the younger fans have no perspective? I am not willing to throw them under the bus due to a bad month or even a bad season. Besides, a bad season for them in an average one for most others.

I just think it is disrespectful to abandon your stars. They will retire next year playing out contracts they earned. If Danny was at 1000, I would almost think they may retire after this season but we owe it to them.

No more thinking of players as commodities. You end up with Corrados if you do that.

Fwiw I'm on the younger end of the millenial scale and i have nothing but respect for the twins and have never bashed or supported trading them

It's worth six bits and a dirty gym sock

I can see that. Though with all the Nico and Patrick talk at this point, isn't it a lot of egg counting?

R u saying the eventual 2 worst teams wil pick Nico & Patrick even if they need D more? Eg Av's & Arizona? Furthermore trading picks up or down is a possibility for teams wanting to do so to better suit them.

Sutter was a crossbar shot away from a full on Torts rush to the opponents lockeroom.

Now he can preach about the dreaded 2-0 lead headed into 3rd

Not sure how you got that

But let's wait to see the lotto results. Your theory on trades is plausible though.

The Canucks have looked pretty good their last four periods of hockey.

Tonight, the old guys are showing Torts a thing or two.

Experience and guile will beat youth and enthusiasm everytime. It's why my daughter never can beat me at poker... then again she's only 10.

No offense was merely doing what any GM would do....
Weigh all the odds & possibilities ahead of time & adjust as time passes.
Practicing up as many scenarios as possible is the game of GM's.
We all know cap space & generally what teams need what.
What actually happens is another story & the prep allows for any contingency plans to be implemented quickly if necessary. Team needs can sway a draft as in Chychrun falling down the draft. OJ bumped him yes but as in when TBL passed on Jones & picked Drouin at the time i understood the lure of doing so but TBL needed D. Now they still need D & Jones looks like a mistake.

And THAT'S why he's Willie's boy

Daniel's scored now Megna , the whipping boys are coming through to the haters

Did you notice both goals were nifty passing and driving the net plays not a cycle?

yes.....the exact changes Ive been saying would increase scoring
whoever made the change, good on ya. THis would be jarvis or malhotra, the others have had 2 seasons of showing us nothing.

i would reckon its more due to how Grandlund plays on their line

this change was made earlier in the season....maybe the 1/3 way mark not since the granlund promotion

- onesmallleap

He just secured his roster spot for the season and staple on the PP.

oh and Megna too nice deke for the goal by the way.

I see Willie has them playing well tonight, and has made some adjustments to step up to the challenge, good on Willie D..

Sooo, I'm wondering if the pompom girls are planning the wild card spot and anything thing can happen narrative

The second goal didn't involve Granlund as it was on PP1. But he did look good with them.

I'd also add CBJ has not been lighting the league on fire as of late.
Can see them looking to try & add someone before the TDL.

I'm ever the optimist but let the WC go is my choice lol

How's the Megna hate tonight?
