It really seems people are blinded by Canucks Love.
Miller and Horvat WILL NOT RESIGN HERE.
And the team needs to get value for them. If they walk? Kiss away what, i don't know, 2 firsts a couple of other pics and some good prospects for both goodbye.
That will help Petey I'm sure.

I'm not arguing any of that, but do you honestly think it will happen? Given this teams history I fully expect the 2 to play out the rest of their contracts, not get traded, and then move on, leaving the team with less and therefore making them much more willing to overpay Boeser. EP will regain his form by this time next year, but it won't make a difference because the forward depth will have fallen out from underneath him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it'll all be sunshine and roses, I'm being even more of a pessimist and saying we won't get any value from those guys.

Let's pull a reverse NJ.

Pouty, Boeser and someone (who cares) for both Hughes, cap trash and that big Russian D-man they took with our 1dt rounder so Podz has a friend.

Perhaps if we have three brothers representing the 'core', it will be less cancerous lol.

All I know is I'm glad that I'm winning the fantasy pool so far, because it's the only joy I'm gonna get from hockey this year

True about hindsight and cursed.
But lets be honest here people. Bure is many steps above what Petey is or will ever be. They both won the Calder, and that's about where the similarities end.

- carsonagenic


How time heals old wounds... I remember a time when the canuck fateful (fans and media) hated Bure for the way he departed. Came across an SB Nation article from 2013 just before Bure was introduced into the HoF and his number raised to the rafters here in Vancouver:

Unfortunately, in the case of Bure, this second-hand experience of his play meant that my understanding of him was frequently filtered through the local media. As Tom Benjamin notes, in an epic takedown of Tony Gallagher and the mainstream media's treatment of Bure:

I don't think people who did not live through it can understand the media circus that surrounded Bure in Vancouver. Stories linking his name to Russian mafia murders? Check. Stories about his popularity in the gay community and whispers about his sexual orientation? Check. Linden and Bure were feuding? Check. Anything to put Bure on the front page and sell papers? Check.

And, of course, the media ultimately turned on Bure and helped chase him out of town. I remember intensely how miserable it was to be a Canucks fan during Bure's last few years with the team, his final season of play being the start of Mark Messier's three years reign of turmoil and his holdout season being the second of these seasons. Those were dark days for Canucks fans, with the team failing miserably on the ice, skating in front of a 2/3rds full GM Place, and playing out a soap opera off the ice. Bure was cast as part of the problem, and perhaps he was. Certainly his holdout and trade demand did not endear him to Canucks fans. Nonetheless, it seems in retrospect as though he received an unfairly rough ride from the local media.


It all sounds so familiar doesn't it?

- carsonagenic

While the video includes reasoning on why it rises to the level of supplementary discipline, it’s Marchand’s lengthy history with the DoPS that makes it a three-game ban. The Bruins forward has been suspended six times in the past, including once for a slew foot in 2015.

@ Bloated .

I don't think Petey's first year was a fluke. I think he put in the work, training , and desire.

I think he read the clippings in his contract year and began thinking "I'm Petey"

I don't think he put in the time or effort this year and now has to basically start over. That is why I don't think he is a quick turn around.

Currently watching the Bailey-Petan-Lockwood line skate together out in Abbotsford and I can’t help but wonder if they would be a better NHL trio than Dowling, Richardinson and Chiasson.

Will Lockwood needs to get a call-up soon, I’m sure of that. He’s ready.

At least the hype crew hasn't slowed.
