Colorado over Tampa final in my pool and I'm sticking to that. I think VGK will fizzle out as will BOS. Hopefully lol

Still having a hard time dealing with the Luongo choke job, aren't you.

Just curious, what do you see that makes you think they will bounce back, and bounce back to what, exactly?
- Reubenkincade

Well I don't think the entire team for one won't catch a deadly virus. I know they wont be playing 13 games in 26 nights to start and end the season.

I think Hoglander will be a little better and Rathbone Demko the addition of Podkolzen.

I don't think we will see Vesey Jake Boyd Roussel and so on in the bottom of the lineup.

The story lead off with the team being cap starved(paraphrasing), which is only somewhat true. The team had some choices to make, on where and who they were going to spend money on, they made the wrong choices...again.

Was it JD Burke

What the (frank) are you whiners concerned about? He literally has $25,000 in cap space? I mean I guess he could trade our next 5 first round picks for cap space but that seems unlikely
- CanuckDon

Imagine not being concerned about Benning having cap space given his history of free agent signings.

And don't even bring up trading more 1st round picks. Like I said, he needs to do next to nothing this off season but get petey and Hughes signed and then focus on getting competitive 2022/2023. This team will have cap space and an immediately better roster with the subtraction of LE, roussel, Virtanen and Beagle. Spend enough to ice a roster, but save up cap space for when this team gets rid of the pylons next off season

Not worrying about cap space is literally the reason we are in this mess lol.

I agree with the bolded, but, that defense group, is beyond terrible.
I was being a bit facetious when I asked bounce back to what, because this team has played 5 weeks of good hockey in 7 years, so I always get a bit of a laugh when I see that type of comment(not aimed at you)

I hope Vegas win this year but think it is TBL to lose. If Vegas win it this year they will tie the Oilers for quickest team to win since expansion of a 6 team league.
- VANTEL

Can't bring myself to cheer for Vegas. Bettman the Butt Boy's club and technically they shouldn't even have a team there. The league should be retracting not expanding but I guess the dollar signs mean more than the integrity of the game lol.

Actually 9 years, but point taken.

I enjoyed some of the things this year. Hoglander made my viewing experience worth while. So did Demko. Brock had a very good year. Bo was ok but I would have liked more.

I will say again I am not a fan of Green or any of the coaches.

I can't say much about next year until I see the roster but I don't think it will be a disaster like last year.

Among other things yes lol

I don't think they end up last in their division, as I think Anaheim is destined for bottom for a few seasons. The Sharks aren't much better, so they should be anywhere from 4-6 in the division

That Braydon Point aint bad for a little guy, its too bad small guys dont do well in the playoffs.

This. Even if he trades a 1st and gets a guy like Cernak or Dumba that’s hardly something to be down about

- Reubenkincade

I find it hard to give say how they end up when I am not sure of the roster , coaches , if the owner says don't do this or that.

I just don't think it will be as bad as last year because as I said before last year was the curse of the Canucks on steroids.

No need to get crusty. They're only down 3-2.

People using a bunch of words incorrectly.

Why, technically, shouldn't they have a team there?

I got a kick out of yesterday's comments about Cassidy complaining, but nary a word about Trott complaining about Bergeron being to good on the faceoffs, he is cheating.
The Canuck fans are unreal.

- Nucker101

If he trades a 1st for dumba or cernak, that would be something people would be upset about, and it would be justified. Neither of those players are worth a 1st round pick.

Of course. If he trades some firsts and fits those guys into Don's $25k cap space, the Canucks will be dancing.

He’s tied his own hands. Next offseason could be dangerous.

Thx Carol, Personally I think Luongo shouldn’t be welcomed back. His heart has always been in Florida and he (frank)ed us over. Beat it Luongo

My sentiments too
