For those complaining about the early start time at home. I wrote an article about this.

Specifically against the Maple Leafs, they are 11-2-0 in early start times. Every single one of these games have been played in Vancouver.
It's okay. There's tons of other things to complain about right now.
-EP40
-The skate jersey
-The decline of Burger King. Their Whoppers used to hit the spot but are now soggy pieces of crap.
 
Fingers crossed that Hughes gets back in the lineup..Leafs have been killing it on this Western swing…We beat them in their own barn on HNIC, I’m sure they’re hungry to exact revenge.

Beating the Leafs is always a joyful experience.
 
We’ve had early start home games vs American teams too and you barely hear a peep about it

More early start times vs the Ducks than any other team in the league.

Kinda have to start Demko after the last two games, but that's probably too much sitting for Kevin.

Sit Hughes until 4nations or afterwards even better.

If he doesn't play for the Canucks, he shouldn't be playing for the US. He should not be resting up for the tournament, his priority should be the team that pays him.

He also holds the fate of this franchise in his hands, like it or not. You have to keep him happy.

I think there's a balance based on his recovery timeline.

Wendy's is where I go for fast food these days. They have some good deals on the app usually, i.e. $1 large fries with any purchase (add $0.30 for small chili on the side with fries)
 
Keep it rolling boys. Keep it rolling.

I hope Demko continues to prove me wrong on him needing to be LTIRetired.
 


Hoglander’s agent Allain Roy retweeted this guy :laugh:

This feels like a huge Hoglander statement game. Saturday night lights


The fact that they haven't traded him yet is proof that management believes him. There is just some disconnect between management and coaching which I dont understand

It’s Rick Tocchet.

Players like Juulsen will have unlimited rope for 40+ games, while Hoglander will get benched for a single bad play (while playing really well overall)

Being on the east coast, I love the early start times for the Canucks. I am always happy when they are on the road. That this is their record against the leafs in these games, is so much better.

I really don't mind the "late" start times either. It allows me to watch a warm up game first.

I like early start times, especially on the weekdays, because it means I can watch the games with my kids. My son is just getting into hockey so it's even more fun now.

I remember when my son started getting into hockey with me! It was amazing! His first jersey was a Luongo jersey. It was the best, cutest thing ever.

Took him until he was in his late teens to reach obsession. Now we yell at the t.v. together.
 
Hogs has been pushing the pace and actually seems to have some chemistry with EP40. Can't hurt to put them together with someone like DOC if not DeBrusk.
