The jets are having some issues..like you mentioned, what’s up w big buff? Laine isn’t signed..maybe my Canucks can make the playoffs this year..I luv puck talk...

Hearing Cam Neely’s name still hurts us fans here in Vancouver. He was a helluva player..

Mathews is still young, and is gonna do some immature stupid shit. Don’t know what he was thinking, but I think he was lucky that he wasn’t tased or even shot. Sneaking up on a female security guard isn’t cool at 2 am w your pants down..not the worst thing a player has done..

Word on the street is that Vancouver could be naming their captain 2mrw...it’s gotta be Bo Horvat..

I’m a few days late w my post, but it was a bittersweet nite on Wednesday. The dodgers collapse not to far away..but was nice to flip channels and watch the Canucks whip my brothers Kings 8-2. Here’s a view from his backyard facing LA

Really? I remember Gretzky, Kurri, Anderson and the boys always destroying my Canucks in the early 80’s-90’s...let’s not forget Grant Fuhr, he was pretty good too. You know that #99 has most of his records vs any team is Vancouver, right?!

Was a pretty entertaining game at the garage err the rink last night..but that OT blunder was..a point anyway. I’m happy so far w the effort and points put up so far from the boys..

People have become waaaaay to sensitive. My understanding is that he wished that more people (immigrants to Canada) shelled out a few bucks and purchased/ wore poppies..did he point out any ethnicity? If he did wrong, perhaps he should apologize..but I don’t see him doing that...

Pens old uni’s looked great..and the young goalie played well..

They should be patient..their dealing w some injuries..BUT if they wanna mix it up, I’d like to see vancouver trade markstrom n tanev for Barrie n a young marlie scoring forward...ahhhh, to be a GM...

Lil surprised..lil premature I dunno. But to make Shanahan make the announcement instead of Dubas...he should take a lot of blame on this team w the big signings/contracts given to Tavares, Mathews, Marner & Nylander..

They’ve had a few pretty good reg. seasons under Babs, but just to get eliminated in the 1st round..their D isn’t a strong unit, and w out Anderson between the pipes they struggle. I look at Quennville when he was w the hawks; solid team w studs everywhere. He didn’t get it done either. I think that he’s a heck of a coach too. I think that coaches have a certain amount of time w the team before it gets stale/doesn’t work..

Leivo is doing alright here w the Canucks..11 points in 23 games..some nights he stands out, at times he does his Louie Erickson n disappears. The talent is there, and he’s a decent skater..

I like Leivo..he’s a big body, and knows how to play. Coach Green has been making adjustments w injuries n all, but he mostly plays w Horvat. The line is streaky, but still hard checking/battling for the puck. The effort is there most nights..goals/points will come for that line..

Me too..go Canucks!

Nunchucks?! 1st time I heard that 1..

Nice comeback from the Pens..or was it more of a collapse from the Canucks?! Either way, entertaining game..lil throwback from the ‘80’s...

Big night here in Vancouver..Alex Burrows goes to the ring of honour..loved by his fans here, other cities, not as much..1 of the best stories in all of sports really..

Taylor Hall is a healthy scratch last nite...where’s he going, and for what..

I really like Gord Miller & Ferraro announcing the Jr’s..

He’s got a pretty good line mate in Draisatl..glad I’m home early to catch the nux play the lighting. 2nd time in nhl history that 2 teams w 7 wins in a row play each other..

It was a good 1st period..then just an implosion..it’s a long season, and hopefully the boys get their shit together soon on this road trip..

Coach Gallant FIRED from the GK’s..the team is currently outside the playoffs, but just 4 points from 2nd in the conference..weird timing, yet he’s still a coach for the all star game? And replaced w Deboer?

Nice to see the Canucks continue their winning ways..currently tied for 2nd in the west!

I got lower seats (I think 3 rows up from ice ) just off face off circle in March vs isles from work..should/hopefully be entertaining..

A morning matinee didn’t matter..Quinn Hughes is just so good..Markstrom too..Canucks w another W on the road @ the Barclays Center!

Their name has yet to be determined..Kraken maybe? Regardless, I wish them some success off the bat, but not the kind that VGK had..

besides shitty traffic, I think of Boeing, the grunge scene, Mt. Rainier, the fishermen’s market..sure, the historic culture, but how do you pick a name that can be marketed that reflects the emerald city? I’m hoping that in time, this will be a great rivalry between Vancouver & Seattle..kinda like what we have w the caps/sounders..

Scary situation w Bouwmeester last nite..apparently he’s alert on the way to the hospital last night. An update is expected this morning. It’ll be an emotional night here in Vancouver, as the Sedins jerseys will be retired, and hoisted up to the rafters. It’d be pretty hard to find 2 honest, hardworking professionals like these guys..great players, but even better citizens off the ice..

Wtf?! What’s wrong w people? Catchers are kinda weird folk..back to hockey! Anyone else catch last nights ceremonies? Bieksa was a great host, he’s a funny dude. It was so cool to see some old gms, players, and the atmosphere was something else..

Pretty cool to see Keith’s boys doing well..they all play w an edge. My nux dropped the ball by not drafting one..

Was nice to see the Canucks put a beating on the bruins last night..Rask was lit up like a Christmas tree! And to see Chara (6’9) and Myers (6’8) kinda go at it..you won’t find 2 bigger dudes squaring off. Playoff positioning, and the trade deadline less then 24 hours away..shits gonna get interesting...

Be happy that the Pens have Stanley cups!! I’ve watched my Canucks come close 2 times (they were swept in 4 vs Bossy & the Isles in ‘81) look at the Kings & Hawks..struggling now, but they’ve won a cup..the window/opportunity isn’t to long..mind you, the playoffs are like a poker final table..anything can happen

I like Sid..to me, he’ll always be known for ‘the golden goal!’

I wasn’t happy about the loss to the Sens last night, but was happy for Bobby Ryan. He scored a hat trick, and to come back after rehab/alcohol problems..just nice to see. Sometimes hockey is just a game..they’re real people too that fall/self destruct like anyone else..

He didn’t play at his best that’s for sure. He’s gotta step up..shit, the whole team better before teams pass them in the standings. I’m hoping to catch them later vs CBJ, but I’m busy moving/exchanging a pin!

So I go to the grocery store last night, Canucks are up 3-1 in the 3rd..checked my sports app..5-3 final for CBJ! Like wtf happened?! Just an implosion..embarrassing outcome. Now they’re clinging to a wild card spot..I say pass the fn smelling salts n to be fly on the wall in that dressing room..man, it’s tough being a fan of this team at times..

Puck the coilers!!!

It’s his time to be the difference maker..to step up, and he hasn’t..w Markstrom having a solid year (till his injury) Demko could be making a case for himself..he’s been pretty good, but not lately. I felt bad for Domingue..sure, he’s a career back up, but still..Wednesday’s game vs the yotes is huge..

Nice..almost as nice as Zibanezad’s 5 goals last night! I wonder if they got anything similar down south..if a player scores 5 u can be a millionaire from a sponsor?

That’s funny shit! I bet Lemieux, Francis,and Jagr made a lot of fans happy back in the day. Up here, a grocery store rewards a potential fan 1 million (w the famous skill testing question of course) if a player scores 5...

That’s pretty cool! Mario has always been 1 of my favourite players.. and I’m not a pens fan. When he played in the Canada cup in the mid ‘80’s, he was a stud..only if he was healthy, I bet his stats & points per game would be near the top. They’re probably up there, and realize that the game was higher scoring back in the day, but he was a great generational player.

Huge 2 points, and an entertaining game last night vs the Isles..Demko stopped waaay to many shots, but it’s a W..

I thought that he played well. Was nice to see a healthy Boeser on the ice. I had 4 people sitting in front of me w Toews jerseys..after a few beers, I asked if he was related..the older guy was nice, and explained that he was his nephew from Abbotsford. Toews played a good game w pp time. Good atmosphere @ the game, n I always get a kick n talkin puck w random strangers..was wearing my chiefs hat n talked football w a raiders fan too!

Just heard on the radio that in Columbus, they’re not allowing anyone in the rink..sounds like they’re gonna delay/suspend the season for a bit..

A beauty of a trade..thanks Pittsburgh!

It was, at least, entertaining hockey for my team. The ‘west coast express’ w Nazzy playing w Morrison & Bert was cool. This bs that’s going on fn sucks..only thing to read on the sports app is hearing so n so has this, and TB going to the Bucs...can’t wait for some normalcy, and of course if/when/what’s decided w the the season...

On a hockey perspective, it sucks for all contending teams..I was really hoping to see Quinn Hughes potentially win the rookie of the year. The kid is unbelievable.

The leafs are like the cowboys of the nfl..worth lots, consistently provide a mediocre team/product, and grossly over shown on the tv..

I went to a game w ‘the couv’ vs the isles..was on March 10th..I know that date was close...

I really don’t get why people make a big deal on this, if they can’t have fans in the rink. Sure, it’d be televised, if they have a season/playoffs..and what a fn mess to reward the #1 pick to a team that losses in the 1st round (Lafreniere) Bettman is a fn joke..

I like the name..it’s unique, I’m sure that Ron Francis will do a pretty good job in Seattle. I look forward to an I-5 rivalry w them...

2 penalty shots in a playoff game?! 1st time since 1923..hope that Scheiffle is okay, that’d be a huge loss for the Jets.

Was nice to watch some playoff hockey yesterday. I like the effort put on by the nux, especially that fight w Ferlund & Foligno. Stalock was stellar tween the pipes, and was the difference in this game (2 pp goals by the Wild too) it’ll be interesting to see if coach Green mixes up the lines, and maybe put in ‘shotgun Jake’

It’ll be interesting what the rangers do w ‘the king’ I think that he has a NTC..my local am radio hacks question this morning was ‘if Lungqvist retires, is he the best goalie to never hoist the cup?’ Names like Luongo, Cujo were also mentioned..

Was nice to listen to the nux/wild game on the radio @ work this morning..glad to see Marky w his 1st playoff s/o..

Jumbo Joe has inspired Elliott Friedman w this beard..lol

I was hoping that the coilers got it~no one except coiler fans

Shots are 72-52! Goalies are standing on their heads..just got home from work, nothing like ot hockey!

Sad to hear that Dale Hawerchuk passed away..one of the best to lace em up for the Jets..only 57..

I was cheering for CBJ. They play an exciting game, and will be a playoff team for years, w C. Atkinson, PL. Dubois, Foligno, and they’re well coached.

That was just before my time..huge win by the couve last night. To lose Edler in the 2nd period, somehow grab the lead, and hold on..this series is compelling..and I never use that word..

Total bs to suspend Niskanen for just 1 game on the cross check on Gallagher. Imagine if someone did that to McDavid?! No fn way that guy gets a game, and the player sits out awhile w a broken jaw n eats thru a straw...

I like Gallagher..I seen the kid play when he was with the Vancouver giants (whl) he’s a lil spark plug, kinda like a Tkachuk, can mix it up, n score some goals. No doubt that Niskanen, and all Flyers players, should be aware who’s around them on the ice..wouldn’t be surprised to see a Hab accidentally run into Hart 2nite..

Pretty fn happy to knock out the champs. Markstrom is playing solid tween the pipes, and getting contributions from the 3rd-4th lines...bring on Vegas!!

Blues are still a helluva team. O’Reilly is a beast, Perron is a pest that any team would luv to have. Not having a healthy Tarasenko I’m sure didn’t help. So many posts by the Blues could of changed the outcome..be happy Blues fan, shit, you held Lord Stanley’s cup last year..

What a huge turn around game for the couve last night. Sure, they were outshot, but having Toffoli back in the line up was a big lift. Marky standing on his head again..fun game to watch

I’ve got no more nails left after last nights game. Vegas threw everything at Thatcher Demko, and the kid stood on his head. Unbelievable performance for a guy who hasn’t played in 6 months! Hopefully the Couve can put more pucks on the net n force a game 7 2mrw

Yes they were..they shouldn’t have won. Vegas controlled the puck it seemed 75% of the time..what’s also bs, Cassie Campbell. Stop dressing so conservatively, n let’s see some cleavage..

Local hacks talking bout of course Demko, the possible contract extension-at what term/price for Marky..I’m sure that Leivo’s name will definitely come up after this season, as gm Benning has a lot of decisions to make on who to resign blah blah blah..

I’ve called n gotten through 3 times..2 of the calls were bout hockey..the other, the hacks a long time ago we’re talking bout the local teams..n no one remembered the nighthawks..they played in a semi pro basketball league that was here just for a few years..kinda like the Grizzlies..lol. Stu Jackson is still not liked here..

I went to a few games too Warren..even managed to get the star player Brian Pollard to sign his shoe! Which, for whatever reason, I still have..lol
Sorry for the 2 upside down pix, won’t let me turn it

Badly outplayed/outshot again last night, and scoreless late in the 3rd period. For a team that was on the playoff bubble, and defeat minny, the defending champs blues, and take a heavily favoured team to a game 7?! Kudos to coach Green, for motivating the boys. Bit of a coming out party for captain Horvat, Petey, Hughes, and Boeser. Congrats to the Knights, they played well, except u Reaves..if that happened to a star player (McKinnon, Mcdavid, Sid) you’d be serving a long suspension..just a bs play..

I’m hoping for a stars/bolts final..I just don’t see a heavy favourite in either conference final..

Dallas in 6
TB in 6
TB wins in 6
TG 34

What a shot by Radulov last night in OT!

I worked a long day, listened to the OT on the radio. Even honked my horn when Dallas eliminated the knights..bye bye Marchessault, u lil bitch. I did pick the stars to advance in 6 thou..

Stevie Y looked pretty young here. He was a dominant player back in the day..

I once ran into ‘Burnaby Joe’ Sakic at, of all places, at a McDonald’s 15 + years ago. I was thinking that I gotta say hi..we ended up talking for maybe 10+ minutes..I brought up that I once worked w a nephew of his at a Sizzler that said nothing but cool things about him. I later found out that his nephew passed away, and said to Joe that I was sorry to hear. I thanked him for his time, and wished him continuous success..a real down to earth well spoken guy..

Guessing not to many Ciccarelli, or Broten, or Bobby Smith jerseys around..all great players for the stars (Minny) during the ‘80!s..ya, I’m getting old..

4-3 bolts..and we have a series!! And hopefully Quinn Hughes wins some hardware 2nite!

Bit if a toss up. Sure, Makar had a better team/players, which would help inflate points. Hughes to me though, drastically changed n helped the couve. Both exceptional players..congrats to Makar, shit, both players on stellar seasons..

Almost a must win for the stars next game. Don’t wanna be down 3-1, and win 3 straight..ain’t happening vs the bolts. Can’t wait for free agency, gonna be a lot of players moving to different teams. My gm Jim Benning has a lot of tough decisions to make w cap issues..anybody looking for a goalie?!

The local radio hacks here talk n bring up all scenarios w Marky, what kind of $/term he n his agent might be looking for. It’s all speculation right now, w Tanev, Toffoli looking forward contracts too. Obviously, got to have $ to sign Pettersson & Hughes soon to big contracts, rumours about Boeser. Can’t leave Demko exposed..what to do w Virtanen. So many questions, guess we’ll find out in 2 weeks or so..

Congrats to the bolts on winning the cup, and to the Stars on a solid year. Wish that fans were there to boo ‘ the Count’ bettman. Looking forward to the draft, and the upcoming free agency..

So who wins bragging rights, and predicted that the bolts win the cup?

I think I gotta be close..predicted bolts in 6 w 30 something goals..can I at least get a participation ribbon?! N leafs still suck!

I’m gonna lose my shit if Benning signs Oliver ekmann Larsen..he’s not a #1 D men, his contract/term is fn rediculous..and Toffoli might hit free agency?! Wtf man...

I meant trade for him. And, he’s not a top d men anymore, especially w that long ludicrous contract.

Happy free agency boys..should be an interesting day to see who goes where, and who overpays for whatever player. Jim Benning has some difficult decisions 2day..

Marky lands in cow town w a 6 year/36 mil contract. He’s a helluva goalie, I do wish him well..except when the playoffs start again.

A lot of teams are against the cap. I can see contracts given out in the 2-4 year terms. Good signing by the leafs w Simmonds. My team could use some more grit. Word on the street that they’ve talked w Barrie’s agent...but at what cost? We know he brings some pp/offensive skill, but a bit of a liability playing D..next few days will tell us more

His name has been mentioned a few times, but w limited $ to the cap, it’s anyone’s guess. I’d like to see him sign here for a year ‘show me contract’ as he did impress when he played n was healthy

You boys hearing bout a potential Canadian division for next year? Since the border is closed, it kinda makes sense...thoughts?

And more shots of Mathews mom..she’s kinda hot..

Hell no! I don’t mind the orca, goes w the west coast, but prefer the older stick/rink one. I have that 1 as a jersey. The ‘flying v’ w the skate was kinda cool back in the 80’s. The yotes get my vote..their original uni looks like a sick dog w mange.

Don’t forget about Caroline!

Is this the year the avs go to the finals, and Mackinnon is mentioned w the great players of this generation? I like the kid, but obviously hope that my nux keep improving and gain more playoff experience
