Exactly why I picked that age group. Martin gets a bit of a shot next year as a backup and some internal competition. I'd go as high as 28 for age. Any vet over that will be proven enough to cost more. I'm looking to build value.

I'd like to cite Hammond, Andrew as a example of a seasoned goaltender who signed a min contract this season - $750k.

I;m not saying he'll sign another 1 year cheap as chips deal this year, but just as an example.

He also played so poopty he was waived twice.

I'll take Martin for half off the HAlak rate.


If we go with Demko/Martin for the big club and MDP and Silovs on the baby nucks...
I wonder if they will grab a vet goalie off the scrap heap as a safety measure, just in case Demko goes down at some point?

Halak was garbage. No thanks to him. Martin, and find another option.

well, yeah. That's how reclamation projects go.

I was thinking along the lines of a Fucale or Ingram. Hammond from 6 years ago. Not at 34.

Nice win for the boys.
Love that black jersey.

Huggy bear is a stud. Glad he's locked up long term here. Franchise Dman.
MArtin played good. I look forward to seeing more of him next year.

Their best jersey, easily. I want to see them wear the white one at some point... that'd be so clean.

From the Armies:

Sheldon Dries, the Abbotsford Canuck goal-scorer supreme, potted the first goal for the Canucks when he had a kind of two-on-one with Myers:



My favorite part is the swagger of Dries to waltz in and not even think pass, you know he’s bottom shelf where Jordie Benn keeps the beard conditioner.

I also like to think that he recognizes it’s Net Front Specialist Myers skating with him, and if he passes that puck over to him, he’s stepping right into chaos.

One of three things happens if he passes to CG57 there:

1 The pass gets blocked, but the puck somehow still gets to Myers, who then goes bar down. Twice. Like, the puck goes bar, goes ice, then goes bar, then ice again.
2 The pass gets through but Myers shoots the puck around the boards, and it ends up getting past Martin.
3 Myers pulls off his costume to reveal that he’s been a broom this entire time.

I’ve watched this goal on loop for about 60 seconds while trying to tap into the chaos of Myers and you know what, it gets better each time.

The only thing that bugged me was Spencer Martin's mask n pads

Probably chalk that up to the emergency recall/not having those dope jerseys down in Abby. The mask normally looks great though.

Also, Wyatt mentioned this in the Armies:

I feel like the Canucks deciding out of nowhere to use their skate jersey for their last two home games is either the “dangle some keys to distract from the lack of playoffs” or a solid indication that the Skate jersey is coming back into rotation next season.

For what it’s worth, I have heard three distinct rumbles from three distinct places that have winked and nodded at me that the Skate jersey is indeed joining the cast and crew of the Canucks next season. One person even smirked while winking, which is as close as it gets to confirmation from deep sources.

Hopefully they come into rotation next year, plus we get to see some road whites

oh for sure.
Demko had the whole kit waiting to go.

The midgets came to play last night.

Rage quit Wednesday's are my favourite.

Connor Bedard at u18s getting to know real quick what Mcdavid goes through. No defence on team Canada.

Hopefully Canucks can grab a D in the first round this year. Doubt anyone half decent makes it out of the 2nd.

We can only hope

Canucks can finish 17th, 18th or 19th. Assume they don’t win the lottery. Picking 15th ish.

Awww Terd...how's that 'Harley'?

These officials are being unreasonable. Some of the calls have been pretty weak. The 5 on 3's were soft calls followed by proper calls.

Nothing to see there...

Cheech, biggest homer announcer around.

BOA second round? Let's go OIL!!!!

But I get to listen to Cheech more, so that gives it an extra

What about champ Chong and the Bong?

Hughes breaks Lidster assist record from 86-87, that’s a long standing record. 35 years! Wow!

I'd go younger. See if Clark could work some magic with a 25ish year old reclamation project.
