I’d bet on the Caps hiring Gallant, Reirden commented about his players compete level and Gallant has a rep for being a coach that players will always play hard for.

Myers g2 or g3

TT timeline I’ve read different things so not sure

- Nucker101


Yeah the rumor tweets might be agent driven. I don't expect them back tonight either.

Though here's a follow up query. What if the Canucks keep winning without them, does Green change the line up when they are ready?

Pretty good. I quit booze in December.(Not forever just for the year.) lol. I lost over 40lbs and I wouldn’t say I’m in the best shape of my life but pretty dam close.👌🏽Turning 40 has been a tougher year than most. Not just because of the obvious reasons. I am doing well though.

I think so. Top 6 forward top 4 D... most if not all coaches go with their best players.

You just completely wrote of your team before the series even started. Weak sauce, dude.

I’m just not a blind homer. I thought they had a 50/50 shot against the Blues and I think Vegas is a far superior team to them. Just stating my opinion. Hope the kids can prove everyone wrong

Isn't that the fun of being a fan tho?
We're clearly the underdogs, but we keep cheering for the team.
What's the fun of only being a 'blind homer' if you think it's a guarantee the team will win?

Sure, they've crushed us pretty much every time we've played. But after 5 months off, beating the Blues and playing hockey in August, it's a whole new thing. I'll take the Canucks to win it.

Hogs on the PP breakdown. Looking smart... no look passes, finding seams.

Him and Rathbone would be competing for PP2 time next season if they can make the roster with their 5v5 play.

That would be with JV, Gaudette and whoever gets bumped off PP1 if TT is signed.

I would go with 'bold'.
Putting players on the PP before they even make the team. Wow.

I think that those of you writing off Mike’s comments as no big deal show a lot of disrespect for Carol and women in general. Suggesting that women are nothing but a distraction is disdainful. His comments further suggest that men (or hockey players specifically) are a bunch of simps incapable of focusing on more than one thing at a time. I’m sure that JT Miller would much rather be able to go home at night and spend time with his wife and daughter and doesn’t consider them a distraction. The NHL clearly thinks this, as does NBC and Milly stepping aside for the rest of the playoffs seems to understand what he did was wrong. Video games are a distraction, and word has it there are gaming devices everywhere in the bubble.

He said a distraction, not nothing but a distraction. There's a pretty big difference between the two.

I don't feel it's disrespectful to my mother, wife or sister to be called a distraction and I think at least 2 of them would agree.

I'm more offended that they're being compared to video games. #feelings

Also, I'd fully agree with boys being a distraction to girls in a similar setting. It's not sexist, it's sexual nature.

This is what I was saying earlier.

People have rewritten it 20 different ways. Exaggerations... suggesting men get distracted by woman does not suggest woman are nothing but...

The so called woke generation are pretty reliant on having the media tell them what they are hearing. Thats not very woke.

No worries here. I feel fortunate I don't hear him covering hockey.
