What are the redeeming qualities of this team?

Shit face offs.
Never get 30 shots on net.
Shit PP
Shit defense.

The team has one of the better defenses in the NHL. They’ve been able to make lankinen look like an all star

Ratu is here to stay, been really impressed with him.

It shouldn't be hard to schedule games so that Canadian teams aren't playing when their entire fanbases are at work and most can't watch.

Also this never happens to Toronto. And it's a bit frustrating that we're forced to accommodate our home games for the Leafs and Canadiens and also forced to deal with this on the road.

Lemme break down some quick math for you.

Less than 45% of hockey revenue is ticket sales. (Naming rights, board ads, concession, TV and radio contracts, merchandise etc).

sportsnet already sold you your subscription. You’re not going to cancel because of this game. So in short , they don’t care.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Debrusk with two straight ultra casual, almost slow motion backhand goals

 

[Breakers]

I don’t get score keepers

How the hell is Boeser not credited on the goal

There is not a snowballs chance in hell they are calling that a change of possession

Obviously they don't care. That doesn't mean it isn't bullshit that we get the short end of the stick both at home and on the road.

Seriously, you can see he has taken coaching advice to heart. Looks faster, playing a heavier game and throwing the body, and shows high IQ with his positioning and passes into spaces. Wins faceoffs too.

And he just turned 22.

LOL at that hit in the Columbus-Calgary game being only a 2 minute penalty.

That Hughes call was so absurd.

 

[JT Milker]

Much better defensive performance when not playing a road back to back with an AHL goalie against a rested team, quelle surprise.

I swear my take on it was correct. Refs called it a major so they could review but didn't know that a major with a head injury can not be reviewed.

 

[bbud]

Win the 3rd boys

 

[JT Milker]

Those black Capitals jerseys are also incredible.

You have to weigh all the factors. Players disgusting history, shit fan base, weather, cost of living and the ratio of geese per pigeon.

The guy we're supposed to be showcasing is tied for the least icetime with 5:53 through 2 periods Yes I know it doesn't help he can't be used on the PK

 

[VanJack]

Ratu is here to stay, been really impressed with him.

Easily becoming one of the Canucks best stories in the young season. A 22-year old center who's winning the unqualified confidence of the coach, game after game.

And Sasson might soon be joining him, if he continues to go like he's going, He's just so quick, and shields the puck so effectively. Seems to have a solid center of gravity and checkers seem to just bounce off him.

Every team needs young players to bust down the door and join the regular lineup.

i don't think he's actually being showcased. community here is just leaping to assumptions and mashing that fantasy trade panic button.

anyhoo

debrusk on pace for 27goals and 55 points. he's streaky so he has to keep it up, but he does i vastly prefer this for $5million than whatever is going on with Kuzmenko and Lindholm lol. Kuzmenko with 1 goal, Lindholm 3.

Debrusk has more goals than Kuzmenko Lindholm Lafferty and mikheyev combined.

 

[thefeebster]

Garland segments always hit me in the feels. Easy guy to cheer for.

 

[cc]

It looks like they never practice the pp

 

[Vector]

What the f*** is that call?

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

lol

 

[wonton15]

How the hell is that a crosscheck call?

What the hell is this reffing on this trip

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Holy f***ing shit. That’s a penalty ?

 

[strattonius]

2min pushing.

 

[Peen]

Ok
