So, what will the lines shake down like with Spooner on EP's line?

Rousell-Bo-Goldobin
Spooner-EP-Brock
Leivo-Gaudette-Motte
Eriksson-Beagle-ZacMac

Granlund scratched?

Hutton-Stetcher
Schenn-Guddy
Pouliot-Biega



TBH, i'd prefer to keep Leivo with EP and play Spooner and his apparent speed on the 3rd line with Gaudette and Motte. But i guess they want to put him in a top6 role.

According to google; a tank crew consists of only four positions: tank commander, gunner, loader, and driver.

For me, the roster looks like this:
1) tank commander - Guddy
2) gunner - Brock
3) loader - Petey
4) driver - Bo

Don't need the rest.

The only reason this team isnt bottom is those three kids, not sure how they fit. Luckily, you have plenty more f others yo choose from!

I was under the impression he was slow as duck, but I've never watched to my knowledge.

This metaphor is confusing and probably not accurate.

Sure, but it goes deeper than just the same players. this is a cut and paste from another web site but it's spot on...

In 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 the Vancouver Canucks placed third in the league for most man games lost to injury. The other teams in the surrounding spots each season moved out of the top 3 the following season, but the canucks stayed parked in third for all three seasons.

In 2018/19 so far, guess where we are? Third most again.

That's just not rotten luck. That's a trend. You can almost guarantee it.

So why aren't we moving the guys that consistently get hurt? Bad management ding ding ding.

We were second last in the league the year we drafted Pettersson. That’s either a really successful tank or a really unsuccessful season.

Nah, Benning just wants to justify the 3 year extension he's already written up for Spooner.

Pettersson was a top5 pick actually. Happens to be the best player on the team too. Coincidence?

See Juolevi sho should be Tkachuk
See Virtanen who shoulda beem Nylander or Ehlers. I personally was an Ehlers guy. Not perfect but a better pick forsure

Spooner is a great trade for us, saves us a year of contract and is zero risk because he’s a UFA and has everything to play for.

Just dumping that contract is enough of a win really.

I agree, I just like making fun of Elmer. Good buy low opportunity and I'm glad Gagner can return to the NHL.

I hope they play him with Horvat as he could use a playmaker.

I feel like he has talked about tanks before, something like......I was in a street fight in eastern Europe, following a football game where , insert conspiracy theory, then out of nowhere a tank arrived and we threw molotov cocktails at it and then ran. Insert rant on poopty internet.

Hopefully, he shows up to correct me.

Who would he push out the door? Pouliot? I don't think anyone would be complaining.
