@jabo_vancouver Well, they should be fine to play quarters and semis in the states:)

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@City_Chief Idiotic take, 2 pm in Canberra, 9 am in Istanbul, perfect for both countries.
Also good for fans at the game - stadium is easy walking distance from anywhere in the city

@SatiarShah Top 5 places to watch world cup games in the city?

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@ThomasDrance Aho had to go through an offer sheet just to get 5y while playing at All-Star level.
Blake was a 109th pick and got $5M early.

So yes, bet early on mid-tier overperformers—BUT be much more careful with your top dogs. Keep them hungry. A bad star contract can wreck a whole window

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@ThomasDrance Which would make Zeev the highest-paid D if on CAR roster 🤷🏻‍♂️ and a top-25 paid D league-wide… for not much shown yet.

The lesson with potential stars (Aho case): make them gradually earn the big money. Don’t throw bags upfront—build loyalty through other means

@mancity_talk Is getting rid of donnaruma an option? 🙏🙏

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@Tom_In_One @brianhwc @Hughes4Rebuild Was a new community involved? In a new way? Any new pledges? If not, it was a photo op

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@danriccio_ Don’t you have Matthews or Nylander to talk about now? Or at least Marner?) 😁

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@TheMugNHL A 4th rounder from Podkolzin then Kane trade, otherwise the local media would never shut up about it 🤣

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@riseinthewake @Hamalytics All this talk, and projected 3rd/4th liner Raty still played >700 min 5on5, while Karlsson and Sasson had outstanding seasons. Meanwhile, DOC and Kane were leading the team in 5-on-5 points and +/- 🤷🏻‍♂️

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@riseinthewake @Hamalytics Yes, that’s how it works, and not due to favoritism. You give easier, clear task minutes to rookies so they gradually grow in the grind. not like he was sitting Celebrini to give Garland minutes

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@RealTolmie Great season” in question — 80 points and 76 goals, not even third place two years ago. It was uneasy to watch most of the time

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@EastVan808 And yet he likely left after realizing where things were heading with Quinn. So, results would be similar, just even more noise

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@TheStanchion Think you’re missing one thing - if Tocchet had stayed, we’d be looking at the same result, just with a far more toxic atmosphere

[🇨🇦ArtyVan @VanCityFan10]

@FreeHoglander @JFreshHockey Which player exactly? Haven’t seen a single negative thing from them publicly.
