As a former boat owner I’m sure you know what those are. Sat does BCLC commercials, he knows props.

I managed to stay up for the whole game, but it was difficult, at any rate, Seattle is a bad team but the two kids in Pettersson and Hughes played well and won that game for us. Yeah they messed up on one play but no one player plays a perfect game #thefuture #buildingblocks

It’s a cleaver prop, a cleaver prop is a surfacing, or transom lifting propeller. If you have a boat like a tunnel or hydro where they use the wind to help lift the bow, a cleaver will help lift the transom to reduce the drag.

What’s one more?

Truthfully, they just need to keep compiling good players and hopefully they’ll be good again one day. The Kings and Bruins imo didn’t build a team around any one player, they just kept drafting, making good trades and signing really good free agents until they had very good teams. LA won two cups and Boston one, along with two other finals appearances.

3rd liner & a prospect. Why?

Because Reub over values big guys that can hit.

For sure they are, but they weren’t generational players when they were drafted is my point. Kopitar isn’t a bonifide superstar, he’s turned out to be just a really good player. Quick was taken in what, the third or fourth round?

They drafted Brown, Kopitar, Quick, Doughty, Martinez, King, Clifford, Voynov, Jordan Nolan…traded for Williams, Carter, Richards, Stoll, Greene, etc.

They just kept building without drafting generational players.

I am not concerned about a generational player I want a team with speed skill size and tenacity. One that doesn't have players that disappear for days, weeks or months on end, like this current edition of the Canucks.

The team needs more size and speed, agree, a lot of small slow guys with medium skill levels.

LA played a heavy game because that’s the personnel they had, Chicago played both a heavy game and a skilled game, because they had both, Penguins speed and skill.

It’s a cryin shame after eight years of losing under Benning we only have three young offensive players, Boeser, Pettersson and Hughes, we do have Demko though, a huge part of that building process.

Patric Hornqvist and Jake Guenntzel, both played important parts in the Penguins 2016 & 2017 Cups. We have those guys, now we need higher end players.

Maybe they’re for drug running boats, if they gotta throw the coke overboard they throw it in the prop to chop it up….destroy the evidence?

What a stupid (frank)ing article

"Mike Sullivan was hired to replace Johnston on Dec. 12. Sullivan, the former Rangers assistant under John Tortorella, is as out-of-touch a selection as could have been made. Just wait until Crosby gets to know him a little better."

They go on to win back-to-back Stanley Cups. Yes, this guy (who wrote for the equally inept New York Post) is a great knowledgeable reference to base an idea off

lol maybe if you and dbot work REALLY hard together you could figure it out...

But hey McDavid is the only 'coach killer' right?

Keep the team together, they just need a full season with Boudreau running the bench. This is the best Canucks team since last season.
