If Luongo came out of retirement to warm the bench I wonder how much is saved on recapture overall?

lol last I checked LE wasn't at 110 points

Vegas is relentless. Good PK/forecheck and neutral zone transition. Koskinen played as well as he could until he let in the two weak ones 2nd and third goals. Is what it is.

So you would go to the draft table, thinking, we better take this player, because he can play in a European league?

That is correct, and I have stated my opinions several times, it’s just taken 95% of the rest here to finally catch up.

I am upping my prediction that if the Canucks miss, the day after the VGK game, Benning and Green and his staff get fired and Aqua says in the media conference that he's pulling an Al Davis/Jerry Jones and is going to be the next President/GM/HC

Last 14 games = 10 points
14 games to go and need more than 20 points.

I predict 14 points, finishing 88 and out.

- Fidel


That's one way to look at it, I think 88 points will be the lowest possible to make the playoffs this year and 94 the high end in the west considering the current pace of the teams around the nucks and the number of teams in the hunt.

So that would be 12 to 18 pts needed in 20 games. My feeling it will be 15.

The number doesn't matter in reality they just need to be top 3 of 5 teams down the stretch drive. Wpg, Min, Cal, Nsh.

They are out of the playoffs currently but actually have a better pts % and/or ROW than Min, Nsh and Wpg. And have had their worst stretch of hockey while some of those teams have had their best.

It will be tight and they'll certainly need to earn it. Nice to have exciting hockey to watch this time of year.

Posted at a doctors office:

Every election year has a disease:
SARS - 2004
AVIAN - 2008
SWINE - 2010
MERS - 2012
EBOLA - 2014
ZIKA - 2016
EBOLA again - 2018
CORONA - 2020

Also stated corona has a contagion factor of 2. SARS was 4...Measles is 18.
Corona's cure rate is 99.7% for those under 50 years old the spread is leveling off.
Largely considered to be a 'viral pneumonia' being hyped as a pandemic or 'new black plague' by the media just before an election.

Food for thought.

Costmar is playing in a league that is maybe equivalent to bchl, but I never complain about a centre or defenseman being picked in any draft.
I wasn't as high on Madden as most and have always liked what Toffoli brings as a player.

- Reubenkincade

CostMar has looked good in the shl in the few games he's played.

Agreed.
Utica should be adding at least 3 rookies next season in Woo, Focht and possibly Lockwood and Keppen. Not sure if they will be adding any from the European leagues, but would like to see Costmar and Utunen added to the farm as well.

- Reubenkincade


I am not sure how much interest the Canucks have in Lockwood . We will see in a few weeks.
