Thanks Carol.
I said what Cam said yesterday. Podz hasn't done poop since the Hlinka well over a year ago. How can that not be concerning...
Stars are hot, Canucks are cold. Canucks played really sloppy. No surprises in the results. |

Unfortunately, Hughes will never catch up. Makar gets to play with & factor in on MacKinnon production while TG puts the Hughes/Tanev pairing w/ Horvat’s line which is not a stylistic match in the slightest - compatible 5 man units are something that should’ve been considered to fix our 5v5 struggles before resorting to a never ending blender which completely (frank)s all chemistry/continuity. - DrChristianTroy
Love Quinn...special talent, a much needed piece for many years, however, Makar is just a better player IMO. Also, QH gets a lot of PP time with Petey, BB and Miller right now. |

Makar gets the 5v5 AND PP opportunities. He is not a better player - he’s in a better situation. |

You're right, he is in a better on-ice situation, but I still think Makar is the better player. Truth be told we're talking about two fantastic players, neither is bad in any way.
It's like arguing who was better looking in the 80's, Kelly LeBrock or Michelle Pfeiffer |

He's a year older. That gives him another edge on QH. I picked Makar to win the Calder before the season started because of that and the make up of the the Avs. I'm not sold on Makar being a better D than Hughes career wise. QH zone exits/entries drive a lot more than individual player points. He can be as good on the PP as well.
Now Makar will get injured after I said he'd win the Calder. My plan all along.

Makar will definitely score more goals, but when QH has a regular shift with Pettersson we’re going to see next level wizardry. |

How about those Av's though, great young team! Even with two major injuries. Nazzy solidified that second line center spot behind Mac, I wish we could find one and move Bo down to the 3rd line where he belongs.
On a side note, I was golfing at Bear Mountain on Monday with the boys, Jody (he owns Jacks Pub on the mountain) was there, his son and Tyson Barrie are best friends. Anyway, he was just out in Trauna visiting Tyson and told Jody he (frank)ing hates it there. Said Blabcock is the biggest idiot he's ever met for a coach, arrogant wiener. He can't wait to get out of there. |

He lead the league in PP time last year, he's a gifted offensive guy, defensively not so much, however, I think he's averaging under 2 minutes this year and his defensive zone starts are way up. That's what they were telling me any way. |

Mario put up insane numbers in the Clutch/Grab era...
Then there was the 'no touch Gretzky rules' by the league lol
Think the ref had his arm up on that play?? |

Shocker. Barrie is completely stifled in TO. 60 pt dman and Babcock can't get the best out of him.
Soon Matthews Marner Reilly and a few others will approach ownership/MNGT like Zetterberg Datsyuk did and say if you keep Babcock here we are f'n gone. |

Amazing what a fall he's had as a coach He's getting paid insane money on a team with a lot of firepower and is still finding a way to be mediocre. |
