GDT: Canucks @ Canadiens 6/2/14 Thursday 7:30

Did Gagnon just say MB wants Gionta back again next year?

**** that. If they re-sign him I will be livid. He is useless in every sense of the word.

 

[CH25]

Outshot 27-17 but I feel like we've been the better team in this one. Vancouver hasn't had a lot of great scoring chances. Price had to be sharp on a few of them but I don't feel like the shot total reflects how we've played. This game has been pretty even in my opinion.

And is it just me or does this Vancouver team look nothing like the powerhouses they've had in recent years?

Half their team is decimated with injuries.

 

[NateTheGr8]

If a GM was able to sell Erat for Forsberg....why can't our GM sell Bourque for him?

"You'll have Toews there forever, you can spare us TT"

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Yeeesssss MCLEMENT!

Yup. Sad

 

[Wats]

**** that. If they re-sign him I will be livid. He is useless in every sense of the word.

Do yourself a favour and just accept the reality of him not only being re-signed but getting 4+M long term.

Boy would I be pissed if this comes true.

 

[Mrb1p]

What's dumb?



Agreed!



I guess.. but I personally think the most impressive of sport is the Biathlon. These athletes have to basically run a marathon, then manage to slow down their heartbeat/breath rhythm AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE to do rush-precision shooting.

The athletic ability to just be able to calm yourself after a marathon is.. ludicrous

Skeleton is ! Is there something stupider than going head first into an ice track at an average of 100 km/h ?

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Thanks. Strange, Rollie the Goalie has a pretty good reputation. Oh well, Waite is clearly doing a great job.

Commentators seemed surprised that Rollie sounded so bitter, too.

 

[sampollock]

Yeeesssss MCLEMENT!

Wrong board. Figs are on the other side

This is barely even the shadow of Vancouver's old team. Its crazy what some injuries and age can do to a roster.

 

[Nashy]

Yeeesssss MCLEMENT!

You are most definitely lost....

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Its funny because that was my 2nd choice lol ... Ive seen some of them train and they are amazing shots

You realize it's supposed to represent winter warfare?

The real-life champion of this discipline is Simo Hayha

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Chances are we'll choke this lead.

 

[No More Subban]

In game breakaway? Desharnais get's caught be D easily and doesn't even get shot off while Pacioretty will likely score or get a good shot off for a rebound chance.

Shootout situation? Desharnais scores, Pacioretty hates himself.

Penalty shots, I mean. Patches could've had a hattrick. I bet he's breaking sticks right now.

Plekanec trio looking really bad in this game.....

His wingers suck.

Their window has sadly officially closed.

I don't think I could ever accept such a thing. Even if it happened, I would be in serious denial.

 

[sheed36]

**** that. If they re-sign him I will be livid. He is useless in every sense of the word.

I was kinda hoping the Habs would let Gionta walk but after hearing that it wouldn't surprise me to see him re-signed again. We're gonna be stuck forever with the same non scoring small team.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

2 penalty shots for the same player is crazy. 3rd time's a charm Max.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Figure skating.

They make it look easy but if anyone here can do a half spin as smooth as they can, you should go buy yourself a beer.

Japanese kid was something else, I guess. 19 and nailed it.

edit: that probably sounds like really bad innuendo, lol.
