Even if Boeser gets a lucky goal or a garbage goal that's fine...just something to get him rolling.

Would love to see Pettersson roll through this road trip at a PPG pace.

that would be unreal, this is a long road trip!

1-0 Canucks, Nilly with 40 saves, HB Canuck fans whipped into a frenzy of start Nilsson bench Markstrom, and then Nilsson goes on a 0-5 run with a 4.7 GAA and a .712 SV%

I pray we get to a point where there is a goalie controversy.

BOeser 2 goal game.

I listened to Burke talk with those asshats but I missed FA. Burke would be great back in Vancouver.

No thanks, I respect some of the moves he's made as a GM in this league but I don't think he's the right guy for this job.

those are more fun when the team actually has a shot at the playoffs, no one cares who starts right now

Exactly.

No I am only joking. I would rather see a guy like Johnson that has paid his dues get the GM job. Not necessarily Johnson. Wiesbrod rubs me the wrong way.

New blog is up:

Can Tyler Motte help out Horvat & Boeser defensively? Can Anders Nilsson stop the hard-charging Lightning?

I respect your opinion, but there's no one who understands this market/team better than Burke. Quinn's #1 apprentice, it would be almost like Quinn when he came back for a second term.

i'd rather look forward than back.

burke may know this market better than most but his combative, my-way-or-the-highway approach is not the right demeanour in today's age (especially with today's player).

if/when there is a house cleaning, i want a fresh forward looking approach rather than a pillar of the old guard.

You can probably cancel the trade before it goes through? I have no sympathy for someone operating high tech equipment without taking their morning drug yet.

I thought it was a fair trade.
Poor starter for a poor center

the trade can get veto'd if people vote against it. I don't see how it's political, I just hit the wrong button.

The vote button is to stop unbalanced trades not to stop mistakes.

Political is when you try to get people to vote in your favor.

So quit being political.
