Really appears that playing back under Green has him in a comfort zone.

He is definitely a treat for both the seeing eye test fans and stat nerds. He plays an incredibly safe game.

The games I've watched him he's looked decent, and getting better by all indications, an excellent trade by Benning. See I can be fair to him when he does well.

EXPERIENCE MUSIC PROJECT - like an interactive museum for the history of music. Crazy shaped building near the space needle.

Just looked it up. It will definitely be on the top of our list of things to do on the next visit. The wine selection at the gas station across the street from the hotel was better most BC liquor stores.

He had a strong game tonight, I think his new partner was a big reason why😆

He is turning into my favourite defenseman, for sure. Maybe he will be a solid top 4 .

HA HA, yeah!

Some great places to eat there too. Love Palace Kitchen, Wild Ginger and The Harvest Vine.

Just saw the replay of H.Sedins goal, it was off the rush!

That’s pretty embarrassing for the Flames...

Stecher is not a top 4 imo. Neither is hutton or gudbranson or biega. Edler is a 2nd pairing and i believe MDZ and pouliout are solid 2nd pairing s men. Tanev is our only top pairing atm, imo

Maybe Stecher can develop into a Krug like player that spends a lot of time on the PP. Seems to have a good ability to get shots through on the power play.

I have quite a few friends who are from Calgary. Lost a bet Willie’s first year on the playoffs, there’s a compromising photo of me in a Flames jersey and nothing else.

I like Gudbranson, but the more I see of him I tend to think he is a solid #5. He struggles at moving the puck up ice at times.
Edler is still solid, but ya 2nd pairing (#3) Tanev is just so calm and good.

People associate talent and being goos with points and plus minus. Tanev is actually so freaking good its not even funny. He is one of the best shot suppressors in the game today. Offensively obviously a bit challenged but he is so damn good defensively

I would like to see Pouliot paired with him for awhile, could be a decent top pairing. Also wouldn't mind seeing Edler with Gudbranson for a few games.
Pouliot could learn a lot playing with Tanev.

All this winning is fun but it's cramping my rebuild style. This team is starting to remind me of the team Willie had his first year, they weren't very talented but they played well as a team and had good goaltending from Miller.

Got their asses handed to them in the playoffs but they had a good regular season. Got lucky and found Boeser at 23 that year in the first round, which isn't normal and I wouldn't expect it again, but never say never if it happens again I guess??

I just wish he would be more physical at times. He could have taken Ferklands body tonight but hesitated which resulted in a goal. But he sure does look sharp this year

Your true GMing skills have shown through.... but you got a break last year when people stopped paying attention to activate bench players. This pool set doesn't have that so good luck... maybe ask Pres for a trade he is a 'gifter' just ask SMP.

Holy poop you whine all the time. This is number 6 in the past two weeks, give it a rest already. I refused to trade with you and made a similar deal with SMP, not my fault he said yes when you said no.

3rd paring & PK. Rugged minutes & has teammates back suits him & us.

4m/4yrs might be about right

Anything more than 3 million on a bottom pairing D man is not really good cap management. Gudbranson will want to play top 4 and have his salary reflect that.

Yes true but inside a game & a long season its fluid & changes often. If healthy his role will fluxuate.

Only hope he's got is getting gifted a trade and player dump like you were....see how much better your team is doing now.
- Nuck4U


First of ALL.....
Please stop whining

I knew quite well I was likely to win that trade.... still waiting on if Price recovers....You only wish you could pull off that trade

If you weren't on waivers every day for the first couple weeks you might have had a chance at ekblad, u made that choice. That was my first waiver pick up 2 weeks in... Last year I got Pastrnak after vantel dropped him early.. Lefty got Draisaitl..... you got, for your waiver priority?

Anyways go improve your team and stop worrying about mine, of course till I stomp on your team week 16
