Carol Schram: Down but still not quite out, the Canucks face the Flames on Saturday night The Vancouver Canucks' playoff hopes took a hit in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild. But they cannot be mathematically eliminated on Saturday, when they're in Calgary to take on the Flames.

Thanks Carol!

Wonder how many tear pies can be made this summer when Miller gets traded.

No Markstrom ?

There goes our chances of winning .

Thanks Carol. USA hasn't won the tournament in a few years. They are looking special today though.

Canada has a pretty weak defensive squad.

My guy Chelsey looking stellar in this game though. (for the states)

Not going to squeeze into the playoffs, which is disappointing, however, damn it’s been fun the past three months under Boudreau. Despite the obvious holes in the lineup. Looking forward to a productive off-season!!

Yeah, that was pretty hard to watch if you are cheering for Canada.

As I had said in previous blog Americans probably have 7 first rounds. Canada has 1. This year.

Latvia beat Sweden this morning. Sweden also brought a 5'9" goalie I believe.

Canada D showing the Baumer effect.

I'd expect a few meme's about Baumer coaching and the team giving up 8.

Looking at the Vegas Cap 0 for 2022-23. Seventeen players under contract and half a mil in the hole already. How do you poach Theodore ? I like Whitecloud also but both players have a great contract.

LTIR loophole makes it possible for teams to manipulate.

Well done Carol!!

Sutter probably giving Marky's groin a rest you know...for the PO's...

Thanks Carol!

0.00% of getting theodore, some other interesting candidates though.

It would need to be a hell of a deal but yeah slim to no chance. Two first round picks would be the start of the offer.

Don’t worry Canucks ref is reffing again, I like your chances.

Oh the irony, just don’t use those 3rds up.

I honestly don't care about trading picks especially with this new group of rookies. I just get a woody because these snowflakes for 8 years have cried about moving draft picks and now that someone other than Benning does it and they are all slurping.


Benning built a good team.

Benning made 3 bad trades.

Gustav Forsling for Adam Clendening

Sven Baertschi for Rasmus Andersson

McCann and company for Gudbranson

All the other trades that people freak out about, nothing has come from those picks or prospects yet and certainly doesn't look like it other than maybe a career back up goalie.

See how bad the OEL/ Garland trade was if Van never gets anything back from the two of them.

I like Garland and don't mind OEL though he is not worth the salary. He has bad knees . Maybe that comes into play in two years like Shea Weber's injury. For now they can still use him.
