I really think he wants a good forechecker for Bo/Brock. Neither of them are good on the forecheck.

YUP! On this note, I think if he doesn't work you have to give JV a look based on how he's playing.

The PK where they both have been quite good by most standards? I don't really like either player much, but given this roster most guys are playing a bit better than usual.

He was danced and skated around multiple times on the PP yesterday. Johnson made him look silly, even blowing past him on the outside for Tampas goal. We need Gudbranson to be more than just mediocre on the PK. I also noticed that Killorn and Miller took a few heavy runs at DP last night, absolutely zero push back from Gudbranson. Isn't that part of the reason he is in the line up? Roussel is going to show everyone on this team, what it means to stand up for team mates. I truly think he will be a fan favorite.

id prefer to direct my hate towards Gudbranson, Linden, FA, and Benning

I have enough hate for everyone, so I make sure I spread it around

but yet you love trump. You are an odd fellow my friend.

That was a rumour from Botchford who you call a clueless hack, so you believe him or you don't, can't have it both ways?

Pot meet kettle

name a better rivalry

Vantel vs Lefty
Vantel vs Pres
Reality vs Booner
Nighthawk vs everyone (joking don't get mad)
Codes Vs Gudbranson
Manivan vs Analytics

Nuck4U vs entire posters in Carols blog is the best

no argument there. but hes an embarrassment everywhere else.

I hope so! Starting the year with a concussion isn't good in the tough guy business, but I hope you're right. He's my fave of the offseason pickups too.

I don't care, I'm a Canadian. He can be the dumbest ass on the planet as long as he continues with his America first economic views I'm good.

fair enough.

I am going to stay away from being political on these boards tho lol

Not surprising. So final word went to his agent, it's not like you didn't have multiple conversations/oppertunity. You didn't perform, beat it!
- neem55

Exactly. And if Gagner has an issue with the team who handles that issue?

His Agent.

Gagner's agent was contacted that's enough.

It was handled correctly.

I know I'm quoting the wrong part, but I didn't think about the fore checker part. That's a good idea!

And I agree with giving Virtanen a shot if Roussel doesn't work out. Just means Virtanen would be on his off wing though unless they move Boeser to the left.

Canuck legend Sam Gagner deserved a personal call from every member of the front office

Just because Trump is a tool and runs his mouth doesn't make him a bad president.

Obama was the 'people's champion' but was a disaster economically and politically.

I never said he was bad, and I told Lefty that I agree, that as far as the economy goes, hes doing good things.

Trump is not a disaster economically and politically ?!

lol
- LordHumungous

That's the one area Benning is really lacking in.

Gillis had the famous "I spent more time on Hodgson than the rest of the team combined" line

Burke's "I'll drive him to the airport myself" was classic

Benning needs one to step up and put Gagner in his place or he'll be no better than Nonis.

and you thought Gagner's phone call Vs Benning was going to be a hot topic in here today.

like Hodgson's Dad?

lol
- LordHumungous

Did you hear Gillis's indirect comment about Hodgson? He said Craig MacTavish told him short, soft and slow are not good ingredients for an NHL player, he goes on immediately to say, "not that that's applicable here" lol.

next time I'm bored with the hot topic of the day I'm just gonna name drop Trump and then leave
