Tanev has been really good for them, it's the rest of the team that's poop. His WAR is in the top 10 in the league for Dmen this year

WAR is the most worthless stat in hockey. No idea whether he has been good but WAR Is an excellent baseball stat that simply can’t translate to hockey

I agree. Plus/Minus is a much better stat for hockey.

Another Gadjovich. Weisbrod is a big fan of these types.

Big, lumbering, with soft hands around the net, who create a safe work environment for others.

I'm going to go with 4-2 tonight for the Canucks.

I'm going to have to have a quick nap, these late games are killers

The big silence from the upper echelons of the Canucks is deafening. In any organization this usually is a sign that hammer striking change is coming.

Game day and no Lind but OJ is back at expense of Bonsey. The response is this for development purposes.

6-0 Flames. Leivo and Tanev w monster WARs

Sure, loser gets vaccinated.

Well played.

I'll wait until they've worked the kinks out...



How bout loser donates $20 to the local food bank?

Oil in 6.

Canucks have won 17 playoff rounds in 49 years, SJ Sharks have won 20 playoff rounds in 28 years and Anaheim Ducks have won 16 playoff rounds in 26 years.

It must be great owning a team in Canada, you don't have to put a winner on the ice to make money.

True Story. Leafs have done fu*ck all since 1967 and are worth over a billion.

Everyone knows my opinion on the ineptitude of the Canucks coaching staff, but I also feel the team is playing to get the coach fired.

Yes I know the players talk as if they adore Green, but their playing style certainly looks like they have given up on Green.

For an extra 1.5 million we get an extra 5 points from Schmidt.

I know you're just messing around with K-flame, but Nate Schmidt 5/10 - 15 and -2, Hamonic is worse, only 6 points I think.

It's not like there was really an upgrade on the back end this year...

Apparently Tanev had a good year according to Flames fans but I for one was ecstatic when he left. It’s a miracle he hasn’t broken down yet for them.

Ya, it sucks having a defenseman that makes his partner look better.

If it wasn't for the extenuating circumstances, aka excuses in hater speak, then that observation may be more accurate.

Players thrive with stability. They're probably annoyed at not knowing who to impress now. This uncertainty with regime change is rippling throughout the club.

We need to get younger and move on from the country club. It’s ok to let the Sedins go buddy

I was fully on team "trade Tanev". Even without trading him, I'm fine with letting him go. I can't (frank)ing stand that Benning wanted to bring him back but couldn't afford it because he would have had to "move money" to do it. Of the three guys who walked Tanev was really the only one I wanted back but I'm certainly not angry about it.

For example, if it was Schmidt IN and Tanev resigned then I think the D would have actually been pretty good this year, especially if they had still gotten Hamonic for $1m+.

Hughes Tanev
Edler Myers
Schmidt Hamonic
scrubs from Utica and OJ

order them however you like, but that's not too shabby.

I'm just not a fan of the day to day management approach. If you know you aren't bringing a guy back then do something about it.
