Lanki steals it in overtime with 3 saves!

I hope Demko is ok

Canucks need to call up Silovs as the back up for tomorrow’s game now with Demko’s injury.

Home game against Nashville.

Almost another blown lead but thank god Blankinen came up in shootout

Great game from Lankinen and pretty crazy OT for once

Sigh. Blown another lead tonight. It's a good thing they got Lankinan to safe their asses tonight. Hope Demko is ok.

Demko is the new Sami Salo. Can't rely on him too much anymore.

Demko had backspasms

Good thing it wasn't like this:

Is Tocchet sending a message to Miller?

https://www.canucksdaily.com/nhl-tea...KDVm7gwEoqCl1w


-from the article:

It seemed that Rick Tocchet did not trust Miller in the important moments of the game as he finished dead last on the team in r on 5 ice time, playing just 10:03 at full strength, which is nearly three minutes below the 12:58 he's averaged per game since returning from his leave of absence.


JT’s ice time in the game against the Kraken:

Lowest ice time, highest PIM :alonehappy:

He did get First Star with the Shootout goal (I would have given it to Lanki for 3 saves)

someone throwing crap on the wall to see if anything sticks ... Noah Dobson (contract expiring) for Petey? That would be a good move, I think.

Curious to see if petey being put on IR has anything to do with trade rumours or if it really is just an injury.

Probably a combo of both. Most players could probably justify being on IR if they wanted to.

Of course it was a L ... they're home.

Shut out by Nashville. Lol.

Other city NHL teams all looking forward to visiting Vancouver ... pretty good chance of winning.

Brian Burke’s comments about the Pettersson and Miller rift.

Interesting.


Burke: "Yes, I think that's clear. You're talking about very impatient people. Jimmy Rutherford is an impatient guy. That's why he's successful. He would have called them in and said, 'You got to fix this.' Somebody would have called both players in. I would have called the players in separately and said, 'I'm not trading anyone. You two sort this out.' I would have had them in separately then brought them in together and say, 'you want to grab a case of beer somewhere and go drink beer and solve it, do it that way? You want to fight? You want to go after each other in practice and fight? Solve it that way. Let's solve it, fix it. I'm sick of hearing about it. And Patrik Allvin would have done the same thing. Jimmy would have done the same thing. It's not working. So now the best thing is, shame them into making it work and see if you can move on. The good thing is teams have distractions too. A fight will happen where players rally around the team. Something will happen that will get the team to rally around them and forget about this. But right now, it's a major problem.

That's a last resort. At some point, it'll come to that. You're talking big contracts on guys, and because of the attention, are underperforming. You're not going to get full value right now. Elias Patterson is not going to fight JT Miller to do it, someone else will have to do it. Someone will have to grab JT after practice and say, 'I'm sick of this garbage. Let's sort it out now. You're too big for this guy, you're too good a fighter, but I'm not. Lets sort it out that way.' That might be what it needs to be, some trial by combat thing that sorts it out. That might be what happens. You're right. When I played, we would fight to solve this, and it's not a good method of resolving disputes, I know, and I know a lot of people are scratching their heads saying 'did he just say they should fight?' I remember in my first training camp in Providence, I fought a guy who was a junior, much bigger than I was, tough as nails. Had a great fight, we've been friends ever since. First time I met Paul Holmgren, I fought him, we've been friends ever since. So sometimes that's exactly what you need to do.

You have to fight each other to become friends? Wtf is that shit, these are highschool bullies and nerds in the bodies of grown ass men... lol

If that shit is anything more than boomer fantasy, both guys will want out

It's Brian Burke ...

Burkie wanted a barn fight with Kevin Lowe because Lowe offered sheet a player of his back a decade or two ago.

Somehow I don't think Petey is the kind of guy from the kind of generation Pasta comes from :lol

I don't think a good ol' smash and bash will fix this problem.

It's pretty certain if this was going to get resolved it would have happened by now. It's a little pathetic it's come to this but one of them will have to go.
