I put my money on him being really good. He will be our best shut down guy this season.

Pair him with Del Zotto and I guarantee they will both have one of their best seasons.

I'll take that bet. Del Zotto is a bigger liability than Hutton and Gudbranson really struggled even before he was injured in that sheltering role.

I want to see Edler Gudbranson, give Guddy a solid player and ask him to prove he can play big minutes. if he can, extend him if not then let him go. They need him to be a top 3 D if they are going to extend him and last year he wasn't close to that level.

We all know someone affected by BC wildfires. If you have a few minutes and a few dollars to help out our own by donation.

This is actually hockey related . They mention Subbans feelings

I am okay with this. I actually really like the idea of giving him top minutes. Give him a chance to prove he is a top 2 guy.

I do too

Right now our only for sure defence men are Edler Tanev Gudbransen and Hutton. We are going to see Del Zotto, Weirchoch, Pedan, Subban, Stecher, Biega, Juolevi, Brisebois and Holm all fighting for a spot. I have a hard time believing Del Zotto and Stecher are a lock to make the team.

If Hutton was waived he would be picked up instantly.

I am not really a Del Zotto fan and would not be heart broken if he was waived and I bet he would clear.

I am pulling for Stecher and Pedan.

Juolevi/Brisebois can marinade a little more unless they out and out takes a spot. I have my doubts.

Biega has truculence and works hard and I root for him but....you guys know.

Weirchoch ...meh. Vancouver taking another shot at reviving a career.

Holm? Who the f@ck is Holm? F@cking Swedes.

Subban we could really use his offence but his defence isn't at an NHL level. I don't know if it ever will be.

Hope your weekend is going well!

Some thoughts on Newell Brown, Sam Gagner and the power play, in the new blog:

Fair enough but that doesn't change the fact he is a lock to play in the top 6

How dare you have an opinion that is different from mine. Clearly you know nothing.

Benning did no just spend 3 mil per year to have him ride the bench

One thing i'll say about Nuck4U...he's taken the usual heat off of me during the summers in here

I agree with Thunda as well, I like the Gagner signing more than MDZ, but I hope he bounces back.
