Carol Schram: Canucks crushed by Vegas; waiting on Quinn Hughes & Will Lockwood decisions After the Vancouver Canucks dropped an embarrassing 6-2 decision on home ice to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, the fanbase awaits word on college prospects Quinn Hughes and Will Lockwood, whose seasons with Michigan came to an end on Saturday.

This team was pegged as a bottom 5 lottery team when the season started; post-Sedins. They win a few games in January and flirt with a wild card spot and everyone loses their minds. They over-achieved for a few weeks and now drop back into line where they are expected to be. Why all the drama peeps?

Thanks Carol!

Bring on Hughes

Thanks Carol! Hughes and Lockwood I'm looking forward to! Is today the day
Either way, it will happen and they are smart enough to stagger it to 9 games.

Lockwood sounds more questionable, Hughes is automatic.

Exactly! Marwood is right, some people have hated JB/Green alot longer but the amount of people that have turned on them is way more than that. I find it pretty hilarious, but people love soap operas.

He had a great year and was healthy. He's in Utica by the end of the week I bet.

Thanks Carol

Van is very good at the end of the year tank. Been perfecting it for years.

It's the hardest time of year to win. Crunch time. I'd like to see them put some wins together, I think Quinn is going to inject some energy into this lineup.

Again, people need to stop acting like a bunch of us just decided over these past 2 weeks that don’t like FA/JB

Some people have been making fun of JB all year long in here, it’s just now more lopsided/noticeable because there aren’t pom pom comments to balance things out.

The “haters” haven’t had been told to “suck it” for awhile now

Carol,

As we head into the no-playoffs-doldrums and (inevitably) fixate on how many pieces of this franchise should change, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for your informed & insightful blogging. You truly are the best on HockeyBuzz -- thank you!

The group of fire JB guys has been since the 2017 season have been Lefty, New York, Nucker, Vantel, Codes, Marwood, Might be a few others that didn't get into the poll.

Thanks Carol


Bring on the Hughs Bro’s!

Lockwood would be better off signing a 1 year contract/PTO this year, like Larkin did so long ago, and being a part of Uticas playoff push.

Put me down for the day Sbisa signed his extension

Lockwood sounds more questionable, Hughes is automatic.
- Nucker101

I was thinking that too. Neither side has shown much interest in the Lockwood situation.

- Nucker101

I remember that like it was yesterday. That was the day you went full Nucker!

I don't want Hughes to burn a season coming up for more than 9 games...

I have liked some of the things Benning did and dislike more than some of the things he has done.

I have always thought he was in over his head . He didn't know how to make big moves or make tough decisions.

I definitely don't see him as an out of the box thinker which the game is trending to.
