Dude...I hear you.

Fractured my ribs a few weeks ago in Men's hockey...might have a slight concussion too. But I've still been going to work but wow is it sore...rib injuries suck.

Press - Jets - Kings - Sharks - Tbay - Boston - Caps - Pens will all move on.

First round predictions anyways.

I like the Pens to three-peat but the Jets are the team to cheer for.

I worked through it for 2 days too long. And am sorry I did so. But had to for staffing reasons.

The Vegas series was the toughest for me.

As much as we poop on him, he should get an “A” for sure

Other one can go to Gudbranson(MDZ also in the mix but he’s TDL bait).

If they think Bo is still too young then just pull a Toronto next year and go captainless for a season and then name Bo the captain.
- Nucker101

100% either Bo - C. Sutter - A EG - A

Or all three of them just wear an A next year

Make no mistake, Vantel is a bitter and resentful fan who's suffered decades of highs and lows as a Canucks fan. Combine that with a Quebecois temper.

And looking like John Garrett.

Weird. He was in the vid during Henrik’s 1000th point celebration and congratulated him. I think it’s on YouTube even.

Maybe he has some personal poop going on?
- Nucker101

That's what he said... but... no excuse, scewer him.

I'm not an expert but I believe I have read somewhere that it's 100% curable

He's a Quebecois? That explains everything....

(frank) you, you wussy, you keep diggin those ditches and all will be fine.

That's 100percent not how it works.

The #Canucks r going 2 be involved in a 3way on draft weekend. They will take on a bad salary & receive a late 1st. They will then flip that 1st to cgy for Sam Bennett. Van & Cgy had trade talks for SB last year. Cgy desperately wants back into 1st. I was told this could happen.

I wouldn't mind having Sam Bennett.
Wonder if Baertschi and Granlund could interest them for Bennett😁

If Edler doesn’t get an A Inwould be extremely surprised.

Sure why not.

I am looking forward to the Brandon Hickey signing on August 15th.

lol the Nucks need to stand pat here and not do anything too stupid. Would Bennett Succeed here? Hard to say can we provide him with more support than the Flames did?

No to Tavares...no to Karlsson.

Maybe Carlson from WAS would be a good acquisition but that's it.

- vancity787

Ya me too staffing here is tough so I really just had to power through the pain for the first two weeks. Pain Killers and red wine work wonders in the evenings lol

I was torn on the SJ/ANA and the LA/VGK series on my bracket challenge.

For me Vegas just has too little playoff experience to get by LA...and SJ looks to be a better club than ANA but ANA does know how to play playoff hockey. Tough picks there.

If Edler doesn’t get an A Inwould be extremely surprised.
- thundachunk

I'm guessing Bo, Sutter, Edler all with A's.

I struggled with the same. The west was really tough to predict this year, especially when you get Winnipeg and Nashville (presumably) in round 2 as well.

I didnt like the odds of me getting it right, but my final 4 was Tampa, Columbus, Winnipeg, San Jose; with Winnipeg winning over Tampa in the end

Would only be interested in 18 year old Sam Bannett, oh la la he is dreamy. This beardy faced 21 year old is a scrub, no thanks.

ASL your Greener hate is misguided, he did interview for the job, just that they (Trev & Bensey) didn’t have any other candidates. What’s he supposed to say when they offer him a job?
