@NHL_Muse Maple Leaf Pub, Covent Garden, England. I was wingeing about going before hand but a fellow Canadian basically said “get here for friends off.” Thank goodness he did!
@garymasonglobe Most of us are looking at this in totality. The 24 playoff run was the one off. This team needs a whole ass dismantling, not two half ass hybrid plans. It seems the biggest fan in ownership can’t see the totality.
@ThomasDrance In an alternate world the Canucks are on this train too pulling out of a rebuild let by at least one of the local boys. Alas. Let’s enjoy the well run teams!
@JFreshHockey There’s a small ceremony in a provincial park near our house we go to and people leave their poppies on the ledge after their ceremony. I’m not sure if anyone collects them after, but I thought it was a nice touch and a nice way to get rid of our poppies too.
@RachelKryshak While I agree about the first two points, I wish it was as easy as brunch. My kids have sports all weekend mornings. Even if I try to watch delayed (which I will) the odds of me making it through unspoiled are nil.
@taj1944@ThomasDrance@TheAthleticNHL I mentally yell this at the radio every time I listen to Canucks Talk. Agree about the rest of the league, but with different ownership here, shopping him to NJ then selling anything else not nailed down is probably the better route long term than whatever the current plan is.
@racheldoerrie Fully COYS here; I was Ange In, but I get it. What I don’t get? Why wait two weeks? Now it’s another week + to replace him and then they’re a month behind everyone else to start recruitment.
@DobberHockey How much of his high point total was because he rode shotgun with a peak Pettersson on a Boudreau run team? After that he’s basically been a PP guy/4th liner, right? So I think his value depends on destination? Crap team that can play him high? 60 pts. Good team? 35-40 pts.
@DobberHockey As a Canucks fan, no. If they trade him, please let it be for futures. There’s absolutely no point in moving him and not blowing it all up.
But the owner sucks, so despite us all knowing how it’ll end up he’ll play the next two years here on at best bubble teams, then off to NJ
@NeededRoads Yay. Because I Believe. Hahaha. Although, I very much have the same fears you do but without the “must hit the storylines” feel and the lessons learned, hopefully they can get back on track.
@dannykellywords@VFTLpodcast@SpursOfficial I’m a teacher & it’s report card writing this weekend. At halftime I got the laptop and got through half a class with the match in the background. Was able to walk away from the full time whistle feeling productive with the rest of the day ahead of me (I’m on Canada’s west coast)
