Hopefully that gamble fails big time. Bedard-style.

Pretty sure if we put luongo in net and and just have him sit in the middle we'd get better goaltending then we are getting now

Watch them play prime Gretzky, Lemieux, both Richards, Jagr, Orr, Coffey, Lidstrom and Roy and still get blown out by an injured single A baseball team playing their bat boy in net with no gear.
Bruce called them out for this before it was even official. Not really a conspiracy theory at all.
A game where the 'loser' will actually be the 'winner'. A key game in the Bedard sweepstakes.

This season was lost back in November, so I'm okay with losing games 1-2, 2-3, which means our defensive game has improved. Just stay in the bottom 5-7 for a slim chance at Bedard, because as usual, we'll drop 2 places anyway.
Embarrassing confession:
Back in the fall there was a poll here to pick where the Canucks would finish this season. I picked them to finish 2nd in the division - IF they signed Miller.

Big opportunity for a few younger guys tonight.
Lots of talk about Studnicka being up with Horvat/Boeser. I've liked Studnicka's game recently and am interested how he does with this opportunity. I think he's fast, can forecheck, and has shown some things in transition. Now it's only really been flashes, but maybe with some more talented players he can put it together. Would like to see him on the PK.
Delia probably has a couple more chances here to secure that backup job for the rest of the season when Demko comes back. Not sure the team would be willing to waive Martin down to Abbotsford.. but they probably should based on what we've seen.
Last two for me are the Dermott-Burroughs pairing. Two free agents this off-season, I think both guys need to show something here down the stretch. Burroughs has been awful lately but maybe a fresh start with a new coach and playing back on the right side can lead to a better performance.

Yes sire and thank you for the answer. Just notice it miself. I really hope miller & horvy gon kill for real for mr tocchet. I have sympathy for boudreau also. He is one of mi favourites and I do hope he becomes a Toronto help coach in the future. I even predict that. But mr tocchet is the real deal. He is one ironman.

Horvat excited he only has a few weeks left at this toxic workplace and he’s happy to work hard for the last bit

I am not a proponent of tanking, but it is in the best interest of the organization to not win...They can do a quick reset this off season, and be better prepared/stronger for the next.This season was lost back in November, so I'm okay with losing games 1-2, 2-3, which means our defensive game has improved. Just stay in the bottom 5-7 for a slim chance at Bedard, because as usual, we'll drop 2 places anyway.

It’s gonna be so weird seeing Horvat playing on a different team kinda like burrows on the senators but Horvat isn’t washed.
