Deal him before the NMC kicks in and they're stuck

They won't be stuck. I'm pretty positive he doesn't want to be there anyways. If he keeps going the way he is he'll hear it even more from the fans and he'll want out (if he doesn't already). He needs a team where hockey is an after thought to other pro sports. Question is, what will Canucks be able to get back for him and that salary?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Canada will beat USA tonight, get absolutely wasted after and Finns beat them 14-1, trust me bro!

 

[gritdash60]

Well, who cares? I'm not complaining about Matthew's 5 inch nostrils am I

Maybe Laine and Matthews take a trip to Turkey next summer for some hair transplants, if Auston can get through the airport security with his ridiculous earrings.

 

[NyQuil]

I am not a fan of either team just wanted a good game not managed by the refs

As far as badly officiated games go, I don't think this one registers in the top 500.

 

[Killing Joke]

Sweden not taking Eklund over Lindholm, Nyquist and Arvidsson is certainly a choice, a stupid one.
Also, sucks that Markstrom is hurt for them as well.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Former "Finnish Baby Jesus" at it again. Guy has been clutch in big games for us.

Hah!
Baby Jesus.
I DO seem to recall that nickname given him way back when!

 

[dirtydanglez]

Laine is a rough looking dude.

thats just how people aged before the internet

[robertocarlos]

That's not true, Finland losing and Canada winning in regulation tonight would have been the best case scenario since that would have clinched them a spot in the final.

The OP might have been worried that Canada will lose tonight to the mighty Americans. Now the OP doesn't have to worry.

 

[howkie]

Not impressed with our coaches. Hallam, Hävelid, Monten, Garpenlöv. Dont we ever get any good coaches...

Yes Markström out is surely the reason Finland won, since they don't have any players missing.

So happy for the Finns: after everyone counted them out and all their injuries - what a gutsy win. Really fun game - there were times when I couldn't breathe, I was so caught up in the action. Interesting what this does to the tournament - it's still wide open.

I agree with that but Finn's got the only penalty in the third. Refs put their whistles away .

 

[gritdash60]

Laine is a rough looking dude.

Now look at your bank account, and compare it to his. Then look at your gf and compare it to his. Life ain't fair dude.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I don’t agree with the criticism of Hallam.

Gus shit the bed, Nylander was a complete no show and Pettersson was Pettersson. The big names need to step up.

 

[matsqq]

SHould have been a penalty when

Only way Sweden can get in now is by beating the US and Canada losing both remaining games. Pretty sure both Canada and Finland will have the tie-breaker now against them. Finland controls their own destiny by beating Canada on Monday if Canada loses tonight. If the US manages to lose both remaining games, they're out. It's kind of an exciting scenario for such a simplistic format.

Canada beats USA , Sweden beats USA and Canada beats Finland works too

 

[FinPanda]

I am very happy and excited. I mean realistically I felt like we should beat Sweden in this tournament and we did that. I am already happy. If we beat Canada too and advance to the final.. I'll be over the moon.

 

[Jukurit]

I forgot 11 million dollar man Pettersson was playing. Nylander best player on Sweden IMO.

 

[MMANumminen]

This victory gives me joy

 

[king89]

Of course Granlund killed Sweden. He's their worst nightmare. My man Granlund who always deliver in the Leijonat jersey. He's up there with the biggest of them. Anyway nice to beat Sweden even if I don't consider this tournament to be the real thing.

It isn't just that he might not waive, but he gets full control of the situation and can choose where he goes which can significantly diminish the return

Vancouver can't let it get to that point

I think Can will lose to the US of Ehhh and that is why I wanted Finn's plus cannot stand Nylander and Laine will always have a soft spot in my heart. He was at his best with the Jets

First we give them the siima...then we pull the matto alta.
