Most of the Canucks injuries from illegal contact never get called or even reviewed.

You've got to think that with the all the ensuing media pressure, the league would have been forced into suspending Holden if that same situation happened to one of the eastern teams' second line players. But out here in the colonies, 'hey who gives a sh:t'.

Podk got three assists but not real assists is how I will write it next time.
- VANTEL

I wasnt being sarcastic. Write what ever you want...

Last time it happened. The Canucks won. It was when TG tried to make lightning strike twice that it didn't go so well.

I'm going to go with a 6-3 Canucks win.

There you go, PITT's played last night as well. Should be easy pickings.

I think McCann's better offensively, Bennett's can get into the right spots, but his lack of top 6 skill/finish is why he's a bust. I like both players though, Bennett is a poop disturber
- Nucker101

McCann definitely has the better shot. Pretty equal so far through their careers. Bennett started faster but has steadied white McCann started slower but is progressing a bit more on the scoresheet.

It's 32 to 29 for career points over 82 games.

If your wondering JV is at 26 over 82 games

There is no skill to call up .

Sven had 2 assists in 6 games here and -2

Why bring in Goldy if he is in the press box.
- VANTEL

2 PP assists in 6 games. The 2nd unit was cold before and after his 6 games.

Improving the 2nd unit is worth while and a spot just opened up on Bo's line. LE doesnt have chemistry with Bo or play on the PP.

There is skill in Utica. There's no skill in LE. You are just being biased.

I don't like the LE decision either but realistically Canucks are a top 10 team in scoring goals so I don't think they are looking at replacing goal scoring. I think they are looking at replacing puck possession and being responsible .

I don't think Goldy or Sven are great at board battles or PK.

Why do you always end your posts with your opinion of what you think of the other poster.

I don't like Loui and I don't like Sven and I really don't want to get into a debate about 2 players that will contribute absolutely nothing to the team for the next three games.

Sven had impressive puck and zone time in his 6 games and was top of the team after his first couple of games. He was getting smothered by heavy players physically... he's soft. His play with and without the puck are not an issue. This is a fact backed by stats.

The eye test isn't the same for everyone and neither are the interpretations of stats.

I didn't even know he was playing . I thought he played two games and did nothing. As it stands he played 6 and did even less.

True but if someone suggest poor possession stats and zone time and other types of advanced stats, and the numbers put the player at the other end... then the eye test failed in that category. Does it mean dominance. No and no one will make a claim like that.

Sven and Goldy are washed up AHL players, Loui should be there as well ffs.

Always? Mentioning someone making a biased post isnt expressing what you think of them. If I said "true" does that state I don't think you could post something false? No. Relax.

If you dont want to get in a debate, then why did you start debating the skill in Utica with me? I suggested calling up skill from Utica and you disagree that there is any skill there. That is starting a debate Vantel.

Fight!

Fight!

Not at all.

Ole Booner can think Sven is skilled if he wants. I will side with the 31 GMs that passed him by twice .

3 or 4 forwards out of the line up. Why make call ups from the lower end of the depth chart? Two more hits per game have way less impact than people think.

Nucker....I don’t like your chances today

- VANTEL

That's scary

He wasn't good enough to keep a place, was he bad enough to not be a call up when a top 6 player went down. I don't think so.

I think it's become more than about hockey as usual.

We are not even on the same page. I'm talking about the players in *our system* and where he stands especially with 3 or 4 forwards out. He's in the top 12 forwards imo. No one wants his contract. Understood. The list of those players grows every season on this team. I'm discussing where he fits in all of that. Other teams not being interested are for too many reasons to list.

I want to see this poll you took of 31 GMs and why they didnt want to pick him up. 31 GM's with the same answer as Vantel. Interesting. Seems legit.

I'm losing players to injury by the hour in the pool.

Another alert just came after 2 last night and already having one out.
