Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | You incurred Vector's wrath and broke the site.

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

EP40 sudden resurgence look like possibly pain killers and/or anti decongestants. The public know this happens in hockey, Kesler had a nice piece on this and there is limited testing in the NHL.
One game he looks listless and the next he is better than the previous 2 1/2 years. And filled with energy in a back to back in the third period, skating the best this season and last.

In construction that's called production powder. 😉😉

Well, that was fun.
Is it over yet?

Turns out my post about the Coach/Miller thing was right.
Now is the Tocchet going to Philly and Torts getting promoted, rumor but seems pretty sure.
The Canucks did get an offer for Boeser, a first rnd pick from Carolina albeit a late one but that is better than nothing IMO
Now I am just putting bits and pieces together here on Demko. An opinion.
Knee issue, back issue, groin issue, these are all symptoms of a bad hip(s) often stated.
AND his hips are never ever mentioned as a possibility even though it is common that after 10+ years post impingement surgery they can have problems, even his time off is similar to various procedures to help hips.
The pop muscle, actually McDavid has his detached and not surgically repaired.

These are also opinions.

Canucks are a desperate team, some of the players are pressured to go to great lengths.
It could be just EP40 stepping up his game so he can be more tradable.

I find the Tocchet rumor makes sense for Philly and Tocchet and Torts. And because it came from out east more possibly accurate

Where are you getting this Tocchet to the Flyers rumor from? Eklund?

No it was on TSN and Real Kyper and Bourne. Not sure about Spittin Chicklets.
If Eklund did post something all he does is repeat what somebody else has already stated.
Rumors or talk about the Penquins as well.

There’s nothing to be found when you google “Rick Tocchet to the flyers rumor”, surely if it was a serious rumor as you claim there would be some articles written about it?

Might be talking about it right now. Sports talk shows. Dhali too I think
 
Halford & Brough asked Seravalli about Tocchet to the Flyers and his response is that the Flyers aren’t firing Tortorella nor will they move him to the front office.

There’s very little substance to this rumour and is on par with Pettersson going to the Blackhawks to play with Nylander.

vector didn't transcribe it, but apparently Elliot Friedman said this the other day?

"I think Hughes really backed Pettersson...He knew the fanbase was split on this but he felt very strongly that EP could still have a big impact for them. He believed this was a move they had to make. He believed in the long run every1 would be better off."

Hughes is a bright guy and him taking a longer term views on player personnel is probably encouraging for his long term investment in being a Canuck. Says a lot about his opinions about Miller, who apparently thought his continued presence was a detriment.
