Forbort has been worse than Vinny in the games he's played. Both are terrible.

The guy has played in 4 games so far this year. Its pretty hard to pass judgement on a player that hasn't played and he's been paired with the human pylon named Vinny.

He got scratched early in the season. So I guess management was passing judgement instead of putting the guys out that gave them the best chance at winning.

Not really, I look at him as Poolman 2.0

Also, Ek hasn't paid me for last month, so not sure how much longer I or this site will continue

Tell EK to pardon ASL.

Let's not give Vinny a free pass, he has been brutal more often then not.

If Forbort is ready to go for tomorrow, hope to see him and Brannstrom manning the 3rd pair.

Add Soucy to that list too. He's been

Thanks NYN, this although is troubling, is the count down timer on this site? If you do decide to stop contributing with the game recap blog no one would blame you….(well maybe one of your fans) but the rest of us support your decision, it must be tough affording German beer without your HB stipend.

Not sure. Ek said he was going to pay me but then didn't.. hasn't read the messages I've sent but maybe is just a couple weeks behind on things.

And yes, my monthly beer allowance would take a big hit. How will I afford these 4 euro half liter beers at the bar now? Actually used some of the money to buy a new stick for the street hockey league here in Berlin... hockey supplying hockey

Incorrect, after the Tampa game he left the team on a personal leave as his father passed away. He came back on the Cali roadtrip and played in San Jose and then subsequently got hurt at practice the following day.

At the end of the day we need an upgrade on the backend, give the guy a chance to get acquainted to his new team before everyone starts crapping on him.

A quality upgrade. Unless they believe in this D group.

Forgot about that.

It’s painful watching the Canucks try and breakout of their own end. Glad they got a point out of that, relying too much on their top guys though, Petey over 23 minutes and Hughes almost 30 minutes. Need a more balanced attack.

Having Miller back will help balance it all out.

They need Miller and two more NHL caliber defensemen that can transition the puck better. The Canucks also look slow against a lot of teams, something that needs to be addressed.

Not sure if y'all heard or not, but the Bruins took another one on the chin last night losing 8-1. Be sure to go over to their thread and say hello. Kinda like the old days when we used to battle in the Leafs thread.

Tocchet began his availability today by telling us that Petey has bacon & eggs for breakfast 🥓🥚😂

As for Miller, he wouldn’t rule out JT playing tomorrow. Said they would talk tonight or in the morning to make a decision. #Canucks 

"It's a few guys that are repeat offenders, I think that's what upsets the staff," said Rick Tocchet about #Canucks  giving up the guts of the ice.

"If you're [that guy], you've got to clean it up."

Did you watch last nights post game presser? RT was giving it hard to a couple of reporters who won't stop hounding him about Petey every time RT is in front of them.... constantly baiting him to say something they can twist and turn. Good for Rick. These guys are scum just like the fools that guzzle that slurp.

I guess business is bad for the lowest of low in hockey media. People for the most part have backed off since Petey has stepped up in Miller's absence. They are trying to keep the brainless outrage alive.
