Impressed with Ottawa being up 3-1.

That's real good to see go Sens.!!

Half the bruins D is out ...pretty tough to compete with that


At least they have a goalie

Plus as discussed at years start Flames need some 3rd and 4th line scoring in the worst way which is so key in playoff Hockey. I'm sorry but if matt Stajan is your 4th line stud you are in trouble. Oh ya…and goaltending…

That was brutal!!
Oh well, the Flames suck.

Good thing they built through the draft to get pounded in the first round…lol

I would agree, but we still managed to be competitive and successful, while playing with a boring style of hockey.

Success is measured in Cups, not individual awards or "league championships". I don't care if our players are like icicles bring on"Lord Stanley".
(Not aiming at you).

Go Canucks.

You are the only one who keeps bringing up their 3rd and 4th line scoring ...when you have Bennett versteeg Brouwer on your 3rd and 4th lines you don't have issues ...not to mention the secondary scoring from the back end they get ...the only trouble they have is goaltending ...that's been the issue anytime they've struggled this year

Good thing they built through the draft to get pounded in the first round…lol

It could be worse. We still have his NHL rights.

He can go there and continue to develop with huge ice-time, come back knowing what to expect from the NHL game.

Who does everyone want as our next HC out of the rumoured possibilities? For me it's Kreuger, (and it's not even close).

yeah i can agree with that...

9 pts in 66 NHL games this year…guess MNGT thought they could take it or leave it.

This is confirmed where...? Is this an Olympics thing with the Russians?

He's got arbitration rites too as RFA. Doesn't make sense why he wouldn't exercise them? I don't get this as a real development at this early stage.

Russians are a waste of a pick and roster spot.

Rights are retained by canucks. But he signed back with his old team

Larsen to khl.
Who cares, but still funny.

Saw the references for return but not contract signing. It's thin. But let's see.

Avtomobilist web site and then confirmed by the KHL in a tweet about return to KHL. But just interview from him earlier complaining about lack of icetime under WD.

I don't know if this is really final. There seems more to this story. Could be a negotiation ploy as well. Nucks were talking tough on Guddy show me contract.

I'm going to wait this out to see how it goes. Believe there is more here.

Lol wow.

Guess management lowballed the Tree. There goes on of our 'better' prospects on the blue line. ...

He was out of shape. I doubt it had anything to do with their offer.
He was homesick, big baby wanted to go back to mommy.

So you are saying Goldy is next?

Money plays a big role and so does playing time. Let's see how this plays out. New coach is a bigger factor then some have understood in developing players and rebuilding.

It's not let's higher a guy to run a poopty team and fire him later when we have drafted more players. I believe you can appreciate that and the complexities behind how to properly rebuild. That tanking is dangerous and has significant negative repercussions for a team.

What a PR nightmare for the Canuck's. Not exactly how you want to approach the off season when one of the pieces Linden say's he want's to "build around" tells the team to FU. Pretty much egg in his face.

The whole management team can take ownership of this epic fail, not just the coach. Kind of why these Ralph Krueger rumors make sense.

It's the Sedins fault... those guys just give a poop about making the swedes all comfortable... why didn't they take this guy under their wing and help acclimate and feel comfortable in Vancity...

this is a serious gut punch, kick in the head...

Russians are a waste of a pick and roster spot.

Yup. Disappointing.
