Took 1 comment and not that bad of one. Those guys are super sensitive.
Good thing he has multiple personalities.

That is totally post season/playoff related, on a side note, Brad Marchand is also a helluva player but is a huge Richard on the same level as Evander Kane.

My point was for you to take your McDavid boner over to the Oilers thread.

Elliotte Friedman just tweeted this out, apparently he thinks McDavid plays for Vancouver


Ted Lindsay Award finalists for “most outstanding player” in the NHL, as voted by @NHLPA members: Josi (NASH), Matthews (TOR), McDavid (VAN).

Yeah, I called it yesterday. Lots of talk behind the scenes about it. Tick tock.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has been ruled out of Friday's Game 6 against the New York Rangers, head coach Mike Sullivan said.

I want to visit the leaf thread so badly…but just showing my face there will be a ban.

I know the feeling.

I hate to admit it but I found myself cheering for the the Leafs last night despite the fact that I picked Tampa to threepeat.
Can’t see Vas losing in game 7.

Heard Bruce there it is, is in final stages of an extension.

Sounds to me like just the option but someone else said extension.

Friedman stated that the Boudreau situation is weird and Bouds has options, maybe Flyers.

"The Athletic was able to confirm " dismissals by the time of publication, including the club’s...director of strength & conditioning Roger Takahashi, director of medical services & head athletic trainer Jon Sanderson...and assistant athletic therapist Dave Zarn."

Boudreau said he hasn’t talked to any other teams at all. Expects announcement next week.

Renovating the blue line

Vancouver’s defense corps has been an issue for years now.

The list of amateur defensemen the club has drafted (or signed) and developed into regular NHL players this century is disturbingly short. There’s been six, really: Kevin Bieksa (2002), Alex Edler (2004), Chris Tanev (2010), Ben Hutton (2012), Troy Stecher (2016) and Quinn Hughes (2018).

In other words, over a 22-year period, the organization has acquired and developed enough homegrown defenders to ice an opening night lineup, but not enough to fill out a 23-man roster for an Eastern Conference road trip.

The club understands that their blue line personnel needs to be upgraded – to be deeper, cheaper, faster and especially younger — and accomplishing this is going to be a major priority this offseason. And beyond.

Unfortunately for the Canucks, the sense we get is that the club isn’t particularly enamoured with the options available in unrestricted free agency.

Thanks, I had heard this a couple of days ago, now the media talking heads are all insinuating that Bouds is miffed and trying to make drama over anything.

Training and med staff (5) have been let go, new Pittsburgh staff on their way to Vancouver.

I know you’re just being cheeky, at least I think you are, however, for an franchise to be in a particular league for 52 years and never won a championship there are obviously systemic issues within the organization. Primarily poopty ownership.

That being said, it’s not the fault of the current training staff, or the medical staff/doctors, or the scouting stuff etc. etc. it’s a product of many years of failure. Just my personal opinion, but, wiping the slate clean and trying to do things differently should not be construed as a negative thing!
