I find it sad that 2 marginal nhl ers like Dillon and Clifford, who are also UFA's are 2 players speaking out about getting season finished.
Sounds like desperation from 2 players who will be out of the league in a season or 2.

Fair points - thanks!

This makes me so hungry to start digging back into roster questions like these!!

I think he will make mistakes but I think he can handle it and the more he plays the more he will know what to do.

I thought his D was on par with Sautner but his puck skills and shooting skills were superior. Don't be surprised to see OJ up here a lot more next year also .

Kuzma is part of the TSN crowd indirectly. He tends to share a lot of the same thinking mentality as the rest of them there.

You are bang on about him not watching the Comets a lot. I pretty well watched every game and didn't see anything obvious about poor play. He had good games and bad games.

Cull mentioned he is still working on his D the same as everyone on the team but it snowballed from there.

When you don’t know what you’re looking at it’s pretty hard to dissect what you’re looking at

Or things are just THAT bad that the 99% that aren't the Matthews, McDavid's etc, realize that if they don't play there won't be any money for them. The stars don't want to play because they've got most of the revenue locked up in their own contracts while the rest don't have that option. You'll probably hear a lot more noise from marginal NHLers and non-stars wanting to play as July 1st closes in.

They’re still PA members so their votes count like everyone else including the leagues superstars, but yeah, he’s clever sometimes

Thanks Carol. Can’t remember if it was Green, Benning, Weisbrod or maybe even Johnson, but someone early in the year said it was Raffy’s first year in the league, and yes he was having a great season so far, but he still has a lot of things to learn about the position at the pro level, and they’re (all) working on that.

Glad that Carol is feeling optimistic about a potential return to hockey.

Anyone watching that Jordan documentary?

I reckon once it’s deemed safe to play, it’ll be a slam dunk that players will return.

So good.
Jordan is a psycho.
I liked the line about “winning has costs and being a leader comes with a cost “
Eesh.
I remember watching the early 90s Games on tv.

This is the fly fishing trout farm designed and built by Roger Daltrey on his 300 acre farm.

Imagine if the Canucks had a Jordan that brought them 2 3-peats? A charismatic competitor that nearly always stepped up in the clutch?

He still wouldn't be as big as Jordan because of the sport he played, but he'd be more highly scrutinized than any other Canuck player ever. I can imagine what a douche ( is that too insensitive?) players like Bure for example might seem like but damn for the home team nobody cares too much.

Pippen was a great player, but Jordan was downright unstoppable if he had other outlets.

I am no expert but have watched just about every game of the Comets this year.
I never once thought Rafferty struggled on D . I was just looking at some stats . The two standouts on D to me were Briesbois and Rafferty and sometimes OJ.

here are some +/-

Briesbois +21
Rafferty+17
Chatfield +12
Teves+9
Blujuis +5
LeBlanc+5
Elliot 0
Sautner -5
Petgrave-5
OJ-8

Canucks have had a few Jordan’s ...subban and Schroeder... but I guess if it’s your first name you aren’t as good ...
