Well yeah, that should've been holding but you can't push the goaltender in to the net when he's covering the puck.

Also, Oilers goals should never count.

Hey, if they're going to score goals at this stage of this season, I'd rather they bunch them up into the odd blow-out win. Also, anything that enhances Gudbransons trade value.

Also true.

It was interesting listening to the oilers radio. They're as confused as to everyone else as to why the home PK sucks, among other things.

I think teams just have too much fun making them look bad at home, so they put some extra effort into it? I mean, who doesn't want to laugh at the Oilers?

Is there a player more befitting the Jim Benning era Canucks than Nic Dowd? Traded for a player people would've actually paid to see, he wound up playing 17 minutes a night for a stretch despite having 1 point in 23 games because of his apparent good attitude. He is a UFA at the end of the year and almost certainly will not be re-signed. What a guy.

Given that both Sutter and Horvat was out, he was a face-off stop gap measure that didn't cost an awful lot. Subbans only real value was his name, so getting Dowd was probably about right.
Now, Eriksson OTOH....

As long as they're re-signing him as a dish washer, I"m cool with it.

Canucks give up 5 PP goals..and we've reached the time of the season where the Sedins no longer give a gently caress.

He has the gritty leadership they crave.

Then why didn't they take Gudbranson????

my take: it is infuriating, especially in the playoffs

further take: quasi legal streams are of significantly higher quality than NHL-backed ones nowadays

This infuriates me. Why does my 'friend' get better quality reddit stream than I do on my paid-up NHL stream?. It's supposedly the same feed?

And it was whilst killing a penalty as well. There was no one near and he had no reason to even be near the goal. Meanwhile Ben Hutton is still sitting in he press box.

Following the deadline a reporter asked Benning if this team (one that is about to finish bottom 4 for the 3rd straight year) needed some sort of shakeup. His answer was no.

I'm still hopping mad...mostly at the Gudbranson contract, but the Vanek 'trade' was what made me boil over.

Why would you be mad Clearly Trev "Towel Fluffer" Dog is happy with the direction the team is taking, and the Aqua Man isn't stressed at all. Just lay back and enjoy the ride. Don't forget, you're here forever.

Right now, I would bandwagon Seattle Microsofters without hesitation.
