Maybe they could coax Palmateer out of retirement. They’re not going to win unless the Sandman pulls a miracle transformation with Samsonov.

lol Speaking of Sandman has anyone watched that series on Netflix? Tops in North America for a month it's truly fantastic. Check it.

Agree however I do think EDM has a better shot with Campbell over Smith now. Time will show. CGY with Markstrom will never really go that deep but KY won't accept reality there but we will be there to remind him in PO's once again. Van at present is a 1st round club and what happens after is basically due to lack of depth, injuries like you said and team softness. This is a very soft club right now with a Captain that doesn't stand up much for his players out there. It's a problem that needs to be addressed.

Not sure what EDM has done with a back up goalie as of yet but if Campbell gets hurt (and he has had a history of injuries) there could be trouble lol

100% If VAN ever got ahead when the stakes are high they'd fold like a $2 lawn chair when things got physical. Just go straight after QH & EP, problem sorted.

Exactly. When that one guy took a run at Garland and Bo watched it and skated right to the bench I actually couldn't fucking believe it. Don't expect Bo to fight all the time but that was a time where it was called for. OEL should not have had to step in and fight for Bo. Was bloody embarrassing.

I know this won't go over well with some, but remember who mentored Bo.

Another bust.

Free agent Jonathan Dahlen has signed a five-year contract with Timra IK (SHL). The 24-year old had 22 pts in 61 GP for #SJSharks, was not qualified

Remember when he put up a few points at the start of the year and people were freaking out?

Maybe Garland is a dick and Bo was happy to see him get run over. Remember Ohlund telling Pat Quinn he wasn't fighting Cooke's battles anymore. I think that was right after Ohlund had beaten the shit out of Iginla.

It's common knowledge VAN has been a soft team for quite some time now.

We don't need much just a few players to bring some grit to the lineup. Was kind of hoping Kassian would get back here on the cheap. But ARZ now where he can play in front of 2000 fans lol

If you want to watch a great new series, check out the Resort when it airs in Sept. I saw it through a US feed, it's awesome!

Rutherford acknowledged the team needs sandpaper & better D. He's been taking his time addressing it.

In which I think is a good thing. One thing I learned from watching Rutherford in PIT for over ten years is he does have some patience when it comes to addressing needs which is good for us long-term. But...he has been known to go all-in on players once he gets his sights set on someone. But I doubt we will see much of that with PA as GM. Yet to be known however.

I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes. Not finding it gripping yet(The top viewed shows rarely are), but I'll still probably finish it. There's some cool visuals for sure

Lots of actually Canucks content out in the world over the past couple of days, as the crew expands out at the Scotia Barn.

Goalie stuff, Podkolzin and Alex Chiasson, all in the new blog:

That's too bad give it a chance. Stunning graphics and storytelling. It was the only comic ever to win the world fantasy award reserved for novelists in the 80's. Truly and exceptional read and show IMO. Gets even better after episodes 5-6.

If I was coaching that team Marchand would have been picking up his full set of teeth on the ice. Fucking embarrassing.

Would people still be bitching about it if Daniel drew a 4 min minor and their PP scored twice?

How did relying on the PP work out for us after Game 2? Right.


I would rather we went out tough and gracefully after the Rome hit the Bruins were allowed to do whatever they wanted. We just should have countered instead of AV relying on the PP and wussy Hockey. It wasn't right the way we lost IMO. When bullies do their thing you need to counter back...we did not and it cost us the series IMO plus AV was out-coached. Oh and Lou choking lol
