Its another day in the NHL and the imploding Rangers are getting blown out. What a weasel dick club.

In other news its Prime Sucks monday and no games televised here (not any) and only Nucks vs Sharks which nobody anywhere will be watching. If a tree falls in Stanley Park... proof positive that if you were on an NHL deserted island with one channel on and Nucks were on you wouldn't bother to watch the game.

Reminds me of a 3 channel universe when CTV or ITV would be showing us Canukawful games.

Face of that franchise for all eternity. The Nucks fans acted like he was Bobby Orr. Picture below denotes the two most cursed franchises in history. What hockey would look like in Hell. Note the Sabres player expression. Sneptststs was oblivious. What he deserves for a name that hard to spell. They had to do it 3X on the *Jersey*.. This is thankfully before the days when fans felt obliged to be buying Jerseys. Wouldn't you love to have that decal duct tape pinstriping beauty hanging in grease in the garage. Good throwaway hand wiper. The only clothing article that looks better with paint spilt all over it.

Staois is well remembered, having said that, I think he screwed the pooch on that Chychrun deal. Jensen is alright but he's old.
It was one of those trades were you lose on straight up value, but ultimately make your team better. Similar to the Hall for Larsson 1 for 1.

Chychrun was struggling playing the right side for Ottawa, and just wasn’t working there. Jensen is a better fit for young team looking to take the next step.

But ultimately Chychrun is the sexier player, with a bomb shot, and a lot more potential.

Wtf happened to the rangers? isn't it largely the same team as previous years?

Think they are still the same bottom 1/3 of the league xGF% team. Just Shesterkin not coming up big at the right moments this year. Contract stress seemed to give him a really slow start.

Now the GM is just flailing, probably gonna make things worse.

Risk for Washington too because Chych is on a 1 year deal and is mercenary and will
Be looking $8 +long term which he’s not worth IMO

That's exactly why they suck.

Similar to the Bruins, they're a mediocre team that has outstanding goaltending. Rangers normally have a top 5 PP too. Not this year, so their team imploded.

I am curious to watch Askarov tonight. Will he go god mode against Vancouver? Wallman out. Quinn Hughes out with what looks like a sore hand. Probably slapping Miller and Petey around in the locker room lol

I think Canucks win this one though. Skinny Pete is 6 games without a point. Miller like 5 I think. I think their top 6 get going against a crappy Sharks team.

Too bad about this. What is Kucherov even doing here? I know the guy is a hothead twat

So Holloway is on pace for about 20-25 goals probably. Still an idiotic non match. He hasn't done anything for a while before tonight

Matthew Tkachuk calls for a trainer after getting kneed. Kucherov gets 5 min major. Tkachuk magically heals and comes back for a 5 on 3 PP
