Carol Schram: Canucks tap ex-Blue Halak as playoff push continues Monday in St. Louis With 5 of 6 points from their road trip in the bag so far, the Vancouver Canucks will turn to Jaroslav Halak in net on Monday as they look to finish off strong against the St. Louis Blues.

That Matthew Tkachuk guy is a bum. Glad you guys did not draft him, right?

Fans around here say he’s of bad “character”…they’re glad we passed on him for Juolevi ……………….

Elliotte Friedman on the next JT Miller contract : It is going to be in Mika Zibanejad area. (8.5 million a year)

OJ would've been a very good dman if not for the injuries

Thanks Carol!

Bye, bye.

Thanks Carol! Sounds about the right price for Miller, id prefer move him at top value.

After his terrific performance in Colorado last week — and with Thatcher Demko deserving some rest after his heroic game in Dallas on Saturday — this could be a prescient play for Boudreau.

Thanks Carol! Canucks typically matchup well vs Blues. It’s a tough place to win, but for some reason Canuck goalies seem to play well here.

This quote from your blog caught my attention, should we start calling Bruce “Muad’Dibudreau”?

Before the hot streak I said it would take $50m to sign Miller, now it’s going to be $65m!

That and the fact that he sucks

Well done Carol!!

He’ll look good in a Ranger or Panthers uni next year

injuries made his skating go from a strength to a weakness, hockey sense and skill is good enough but he's not a physical guy so weak skating really hurts him.

He keeps saying the same crap over and over about Juolevi. There were always concerns about his ability to pivot way back to his junior days before the draft.

If Benning wouldn’t have taken him 5th overall, after falling in love with him for one tournament, he would’ve went mid to late first round. And still been a bust.

True story. After the Kesler/Burrows years we needed to move on from the whole 'rat' thing. So glad we passed on Tkachuk. Can't predict how Juolevi would have went at the time based off his stud WHL status he was a solid pick. Funny story at Memorial Cup here you could hear Juolevi's teammates razzing him about being drafted by the Oilers...suffice to say he wasn't too happy about it lol

#Canucks

Thanks Carol!

JTM at 8.5: no thanks. Trade during the off season

Thanks, Carol!

It's just must-win after must-win. I'm optimistic that the Blues will getting handled in this game and the next.

#Canucks PK on the season: 72.3%
first 25 games: 64.6%
since coaching change: 78.3%
last 16 games: 84.6%
last 8 games: 90%

Thank you Carol

lol hilarious. When the Flames were Struggling awhile back and Tkachuk had requested a trade to STL the fans couldn't get rid of him soon enough. See what happens when Tkachuk and Johnny Hockey are playing in the States. lol

Boudreau on Halak start: "He was great in Colorado, and when you play that good, you can't sit around and not play for another month. With travel and four (games) in six (days) and playing the same team twice (Blues), you don't want them to see the same goalie twice." #Canucks

Exactly. He will want something at 6 years plus. Not worth the money and doesn't fit our timeline imo.

Halak's hissy fit worked. Players still run the room
