Carol Schram: Jack Rathbone & Travis Hamonic shine as Canucks beat Oilers 6-3 With four goals in the first 12:22 of the game, the Vancouver Canucks road the first career goal from rookie Jack Rathbone and the first of the year from veteran Travis Hamonic to their first win in seven games as they knocked off the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

Thanks Carol. Great job as usual.

Thanks Carol!

Bubble team gets a couple playoff-style games to end the year, love it! Pretty slim chances but they should be fun games to finish things out.

Gracias Carol

Flames are just ramping up to kick their butts!

Meaningful hockey.

Pfft. We're busy laying down the template for how to beat the Oilers.

Thanks Carol

Thanks Carol.

The boys were buzzin last night eh.

Pretty sure it doesn't matter much but Harvard has Rathbone a bit bigger at 5'11" 190. I remember in CA article with him saying he grew a bit in his first year of college.

I would still trade Schmidt this off season and try and upgrade to RHD. His value has certainly not dropped considering he has been making Edler and Myers look decent all season.

re-sign Hawryluk to a 1 year 825k extension

Thanks Carol.

Savard seems like an obvious choice, though I have a feeling Van would have to overpay to get him

With that said, Green is among the bottom-third of coaches in terms of compensation and is seeking a raise, but LeBrun reports that the Canucks have not improved their offer recently. 

Also in that article it mentions Rick Tocchet becoming available. I would swap Tocchet for Green.

Hes an option that ticks boxes that Van could use on the back end. Im sure he will be sought after to drive the price up.

Sweet. Sportsnet is replaying the game right now. Missed the first 3 goals already though. 😆

Thanks Carol!

Lols Kosky had a temper tantrum but Millsey is “competitive”

Anyway, happy for the V, 8-0 and Habs go 0-3 an we’re in!

It was right after he sticked him in the face. Pretty minor, seems funny that there is even a hearing. If Wilson gets a fine for coming off the top rope this should just be a “you were a bad boy don’t do it again”

I hope everyone living in BC has been able to at least book to get their vaccines.

The NWT just became the first place in the world to open up Pfizer bookings for anyone aged 12-17

Has Tocchet been so successful that he’s an upgrade?

Seems like trading one known for another equally unsuccessful unknown.

Yeah, I'd hate to wind up with another Tyler Myers situation, too much money for too long

Thanks Carol!

Schmidt might get the Canucks a 3rd, if 50% is retained.

Watching the game now.

Quinn Hughes is just a bad defenseman. Sure hope Rathbone works out and we dump Hughes.

😂😂😂😂

Not just about being successful. He has had 2 more years of coaching. I would say he has got much more out of the Coyotes squad then Green has got out of the Canucks. The teams have been near identical over the past 4 years. Arizona been a hell of a lot better defensively.
