Sbisa was still 'decent' compared to Gudbranson.

Probably the two worst Canucks defensemen in the past 10 years.

Always comes back to this.

It�s the funniest thing in world. I think about it every time I hear his name.

Everyone�s badmouthing the Myers contract, but I�d like to see you take that many undisciplined penalties in the playoffs.

The Vancouvington Capnuckitals vs The Calcouver Flucks is going to be a heated division rivalry this season.

San Jose wanted Marleau but not Thornton?

One of my most disliked players in the league is Robert Thomas because he so blatantly has two first names. Hate hearing it.

I once knew a guy named Paul James Alfred Todd (I can't remember if that was the exact order), you guys should meet

Sure, I'd love to meet those 4 people.

Martin Hanzal just retired. Kind of surprising.

Why is this thread trying to convince me that Bo Horvat is thicker than Jamie Benn

Toxx update

In order to get a number I also need a name. Biden and Gritty are off the table but I'm considering LOLTRUMP

Actually Gritty might be ok - its not like I'm going to wear this to a game

Anyway, open to ideas. Except Aphrodite's idea which is probably for me to just shut the gently caress up already.

Minnesota should make that their normal jersey, it owns.

Holtby was a decent signing. Money was less than expected, he's a solid 1A/1B option, and now we don't have to worry about losing someone else to Seattle.

Ferland got a concussion and then went out onto the ice and started a fight to prove ??? and then got another concussion.

It's a travesty that we're yet to see a father/son fight in the history of the NHL.

gently caress that'd be cool. Gordie and Mark was probably our best bet. Or the Tkachuks if Keith had stayed around.

hate to break it, but Keith was the good kind of Hockey Dad.

(i refereed Matthew and Brady a lot as they progressed thru the ranks in St Louis. he was easily recognizable because he really DID become Big Walt in his retirement, bought a conversion van because he wanted to be there for the boys every weekend, and never really got heated unlike certain other former pros. i've got great stories if you want to hear them.)

Keith sounds like a good guy, but that family is also competitive as gently caress. I won't be shocked if Brady and Matthew fight.

Ah yes, once again due to a startling coincidence an older player suffers a career ending injury the moment their effectiveness drops and the team is in dire need of cap space.

The Vancouver Canucks are easily the best team in the Canadian division, but unfortunately half of them will be playing for the Calgary Flames.

The league has plenty of skilled players already
but they do not have a player named Elmer, and he needs to make it on that basis alone

He'll be in good shape after a month. Only thing that is going to torpedo his ability to play even casually is he's going to need to be on blood thinners if he gets a mechanical valve put in. I'd hate to imagine the bruises you'd get being a goalie on blood thinners.

Vesa Toskola was on blood thinners for years and he never had a bruise on him.
