Lankinen's contract is what will now be considered 1B money. I think we still need a main guy (Demko etc) but this stabilizes goaltending to a higher degree than having an AHL guy (Spencer Martin for example) as your backup.

It really seems like Demko will never be healthy enough to last a full season and also be ready come playoff time. Need to offset the load or simply move on from his contract after 2026.

In Tolopilo we trust? :pokerface:

Damn, man. Canada is 48-6 with Crosby playing.

Corrado breaks down goal. Adam Fox is the culprit (although I'd argue that Matthews still shouldnt have left McDavid alone)

^ I kinda like seeing Austin Matthews fail so can we just keep it at that?

I think they both failed. If you had to pick who to give up the opportunity to, it's not McDavid.

Petey injured, day to day. Hughes also won't play tomorrow.

That's the negative part of a tryhard All Star break

^ you're assuming it was because Petey tried hard in the 4 Nations ... debatable.

It's only negative if the player that got injured was doing absolutely anything for us lol

Well someone was trying hard if they injured him lol

This was a really good breakdown too. Crazy how this all happened in like 3 seconds

Start at 6mins if it doesn't load automatically from there

wow, zero ... notta ... not one comment at all about last night's game. Has the interest in the Canucks went off the cliff? All tired out from 4 Nations?

I watched the game, I have to admit after watching 4 nations the quality of play is pretty abysmal lol take awhile to get used to how much more mediocre some players are... relative to the best of the best of course, they're miles better than almost anyone else even at the 4th line level.

Wasted a great goaltending performance by Lank... but I have to say the Canucks really bore down and tried super hard in the 3rd period, doubled their shot total in that period alone when Vegas was trying to shut them down. Two disallowed goals didn't help things either. Just didn't have that sharp shooter at key moments like Petey used to be. So many long looks from the top of the slot where someone should be picking a corner and it's always high and wide. Hronek particularly frustrated me... passing off when he should be shooting, shooting when there's no lane or shooting but it doesn't hit the net.

Not hitting the net mystifies me so much at this level.

EP40 sucked in the tournament and he still sucking right now with Miller gone.

He got a wrist injury at the tournament: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article...rom-4-nations/

Wasn't a bad game overall imo. Just couldn't capitalize on a lot of chances. Petey on the other hand... Lol

Speaking of 4 Nations... Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm starting to like Mitch Marner after the tourney

The Canada-US game was so fast - at times you could barely keep up with the play. Coming back to a regular season game, it felt much slower.

He’s having a lot of bad luck on top of sucking… I’ve been watching every game and going over the goals and his line is scoring a lot but he never gets an assist or somehow he was the first person that started it but it already went to 2 other guys… totally snake bittten right now scoresheet wise.

Ovi gets a hat trick against the Coilers today.

7-3 beat down of Edmonton haha.

The Great 8 is 13 goals away from beating Gretzky’s scoring record.

Canucks looking like an AHL team without Hughes

For the longest while, I was not wanting Ovi to overtake Gretzky's goal scoring record but now ... I kind of am and I hope Ovi does it this season! #99 is getting weirder and weirder.

Gretzky is a flat out traitor to Canada. He can get fucked!

This doesn't take away from his accomplishments, but if someone surpasses him, great

Isn't Ovi pretty anti Putin?

If so, Gretzky is probably more pro-Putin than Ovi is haha

Thought Ovi is a pretty big Putin supporter

Maybe I was just mixing him up with Zadorov who I know was def anti Putin
