We would be winning 10-0 if Ballard was playing

@Mak

Please put those Hank dangles in the highlights tonight! Thanks.

 

[Canucks LB]

Why is DD so awful this year, I watched him in the playoffs, and he was special.

U wot m8

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This was the first time I even noticed Booth playing.

he is incredibly streaky

 

[Nuckles]

U wot m8

fight me irl

 

[Ozone]

that was Lappy's best play of the game!

 

[StringerBell]

I <3 Tanev.

 

[Pip]

Good defensive plays there by Tanev and Lapierre

 

[SillyRabbit]

I can't believe Booth is eating up $4.5 in cap space for our team. I think it's safe to say he's another bad acquisition from FLA.

Booth - 4.5
Ballard - 4.2
Garrison - 4.6

= 13.3 million in salary wasted on underachieving ex-Panthers.

To compare, Minny is paying 1.7 million more for both Parise and Suter.

Works for me.

 

[Bleach Clean]

I'm not seeing what you are. It looks like the canucks are playing fairly strong rope-a-dope hockey right now.

I don't think the Canucks are trying to rope the Kings, it's just them getting hemmed into their zone over and over again.

I see you are a 'rink half empty' type tonight...

Yeah, maybe.

Although it would LA's half of the rink that's been largely empty on the night.

 

[EpochLink]

The artful dodger Max Lapierre?!

Booth is auto buyout.

It's down to garrison/ballard.

By what AV things about ballard, looks like he is the odd man out.

IMO garrison has not been Buy out worthy. The only issue I have with him is that he does not excel at anything really. Like a highly paid tanev with a good shot.

 

[CanadianPirate]

The kings are holding on to the puck a lot but they are getting very few chances. The canucks are playing well defensively and keeping them to the outside.

Garrison has been probably the best D in this game and has been very solid for a while now. I don't get why people continue to complain.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Garrison has been beastly today

 

[RezChi]

Tanev nice guy hugging Nolan, Edler was gonna go ****ing viking on him

 

[Pip]

Garrison has been beastly today

agreed

Booth is a $4.25M cap-hit.

But yeah, we could allocate our salary a little better if were *able* to acquire players good enough with what we have.
