Edler with a really strong game... looked like a top 2 tonight.....
- Pres.cup

He was good. Why can't he play like that more often? It does help the rest of the team played really well.

When TG said the other day that "they know they aren't going to go in and try and win games 4-3,5-4"

I felt as if they should start the game by trying to get into a shoot out and see if they can grab a lead. Push for another. Even if it means giving up one.

Right now this team has "pressure". Pressure the other team into a mistake and taking advantage of it.

My daughter

I am watching sports net central and she's watching highlights (sort of) and she's asks who's winning.

Then proceeds to say "Oh it's the coyotes, they never win so I know they aren't winning"

"Dad, what happens when Edmonton plays the Coyotes, who wins? Neither team ever wins and if you have two teams that don't win, who wins?"

Jesper Bratt goes from scoring at a .5 ppg in the Swedish first division to over a half a ppg in the NHL?

I hear there's action in Yaletown.

post 420, that gives me an idea.

Might have add that to "The Muppet Christmas Carol" for Christmas viewing.

I'll be at the Yaletown Distillery for dinner.

Happy Birthday Storm!

Agreed. I think the majority want another top pick, but it's always fun to see them win. Especially, in entertaining fashion.

In other news, I'm turning 40 tomorrow Will be touring downtown tomorrow night.

Cheers bro. Life begins at 40

Nice game all around last night. This was one of the better games I seen the twins play and a good all around effort by the team

Gman with some strong hate here.

.@tg_gman: I like Jim (benning) a lot, and I think he's made some valuable contributions to this team. The fact Pettersson looks like a real beauty coming their way...but honestly, I don't think he should be running the day to day affairs of their team.

I like Jim as a person too but I look at the 4 year body of work and I want a stronger person in charge.

There definitely has been some good and equally as bad. I don't want him back for another 4 years

Who the (frank) is Gman? And why does his opinion matter?

Hes no one but I find his abrasive natural towards the Canucks humorous.

All these GM's on expiring contracts and no new deals? One would think if nothing gets done with JB next month, something's up.

But then you look at the other team as well? Holland, Lamorello for example.

That's the Catch 22 . Jim probably isn't a great GM but who do you get?

More like who's really available? Is FA only talking to Benning or is he making inquiries?

Treliving went through all last season with no contract extension and re-signed in the off season. It does happen.

I think Burke came out and said he would be re-signed earlier though, not sure if FA said anything like that?

Jacob Markstrom is now tied with Brendan Gaunce in points.

The thing about him is he is the flavor of the month. Someone on the radio one day suggested him and the name spreads like wild fire . People are like sheep , remember?
They follow.

First of all is he available or interested? TB has done a very good job but how much of an impact was he? Benning use to be an assistant GM of a very good team also. Do you want to take a chance again on a four year deal?

I haven't heard anyone mention his name except me, he's been part of the excellent drafting in Tampa and he's been an NHL executive since 2003. Smart intelligent well spoken guy.

Jim is a nice guy but it always rubbed me wrong the way that he talks like an uneducated bumbling idiot. I sure theyll re-up him, he probably deserves a few more years to see where he takes the team, but I'm ok if they can his ass.

Was out for dinner last night at a pub, watched the game there, it was a fun game, place all roared when Gagner scored in OT, fun night and good game.
