You know what the long Bennings are ? No 1st round prospects, OEL' contract Boeser's QO.

Is that enough?

But what about BB winning percentage? Over a 82 game schedule, this teams a playoff team. I’d don’t care what Lefty says.

no

Oh well, he played for a memorial cup champ. He's played some pretty high level hockey, been in dressing rooms, had decent coaching.

It's not the end all and be all but I don't think it's easily dismissed.

I'd be proud if I won the memorial cup, especially on a hockey board.

How's your case of the 'Long Bennings' coming along?

All good?...healing up?

Man, there has to be a treatment for it?

How's betting on teams in a fixed league?

How's betting on games officiated by corrupt officials?

It was a joke. "Lefty's failed junior career" was a joke that was started half a decade ago.

It's still a flawed team.

Take away Demko and you'll see what this team is really made of.

Pretty much what JR said. Lots of holes.

This is fun hockey, it's just sad to see how far the Canucks have to go.

Yup, remember when people laughed at Gorton?

Pretty solid job, worst to top 4 in a hurry. Loaded with young talent.

NYR = 4 year re-build

Canucks = 9

They’ll mention 1st overalls. They aren’t the difference really. Lafreniere is going to be special, you can see it. Right now he’s still a kid that’s had his development cut short by covid. Kappo, meh

Forget about getting chytll now lol.

Need a few changes 4 or 5 improvements, the core can turn it up in the playoffs I figure but there is learning curve once you get there.

They plan on playing their back ups?

First games in a series is usually a gong show. High scores in game one seems to be the norm this playoffs.

All you have to do is mention drafting in general. Gillis was the worst drafting GM ever.

While Rangers were drafting Kreider, Miller, MDZ, Stepan, Fast, Skjei, Buchnevich, Duclair, Graves.

Gillis was drafting. Hodgson, Connauton, Schroeder, Hutton, Gaunce, Horvat.

You don't have to have everyone on your team but you have to create that currency.

So the kids on this Ranger team…

Chytil…1st Round in 2017 (21st)
Miller… 1st Round in 2018 (22nd)
Kakko…1st Round in 2019 (2nd)
Lafreniere…1st Round in 2020 (1st)

Are creating a new identity on Broadway.

Wait it’s Gillis’s fault Gorton rebuilt quicker than Benning because Gillis’s teams couldn’t draft Higher because they were too good?

Weird take

5-3 Bolts.

Getting 24 year old 51 points in 81 games Zibanejad with a 2nd round pick for

Derick Brassard · $3,000,000
2018 7th round pick (NYR - #194 - Luke Loheit)


Would be pretty sweet as well. That has got to be one of the worst trades in Ottawa history.
